Why didn't the funimation dub these movies?

[Let's Go Fearless!]

"Plan to eradicate the SSjin'' and ''YSG returns!''?

I think they did dub "plan" but it came as part of a video game or some shit.

I'm surprised they didn't dub the Vegeta's Brother movie.

The answer is that they SUCK!

I agree. FUNimation facking sucks.

 

[Let's Go Fearless!]

Maybe those movies didn't do well in Japan but BoG did.

 

[Fantastische Hure]

Except they weren't movies. Both were OVAs, which mean direct-to-videos.

Saw this post from FagottExx

FUNimation is more than well aware of the other specials that have been produced. It's actually a bit naive to think that they're somehow not interested in them and/or didn't do absolutely everything in their power to acquire them.
Each of the specials had strange circumstances that may or may not have contributed to either no international release or a limited one:
The 2008 JSAT special, while animated by Toei, is actually a Shueisha production. Yeah, Shueisha's involved with everything for the franchise being the highest/ultimate rights holder, but it was made for the Jump Super Anime Tour, not one of the Toei festivals. There are few - if any? - instances of Jump Tour specials being released internationally. There have been ones for Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, etc. I think someone pointed me to one instance of one of them being released elsewhere, but I can't for the life of me remember what that was. FUNimation has ties with Toei for their licensing deals; they don't work directly with Shueisha (as far as we know). There was a whole different production committee behind the JSAT special, and who knows what went on behind closed doors that contributed to it never seeing the light of day outside Japan's original send-away DVD release and then the Battle of Gods LE pack-in.
Both Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans and Episode of Bardock were commissioned by Bandai Namco. So again, while they were animated by Toei and Shueisha's obviously the ultimate rights holder, there's yet another company in the mix with their own production committee to answer to. Yeah, they were both included (in Japanese only) in their respective video game releases (Raging Blast 2 and Dragon Ball Z for Kinect, respectively)... but then think about that: beyond a limited DVD release in Japan (in one random issue of Saikyo Jump), they also never got a proper home release. And they didn't even get the Kinect game at all to begin with!
For what it's worth, I have it on really good authority that they were trying to get all this stuff. Something, somewhere, somehow... it fell through in each case, and/or they're even still negotiating for that stuff. And in all three of these cases, I can almost 100% guarantee it's a Japanese pride issue of, "If even we don't have it, you can't have it!"
Japan's crazy, yo.

I'd like to see them both dubbed, even if they aren't anything special.

 

[Jerk Store]

I'd rather see Lord Chilled dubbed over Yo Son Goku.

 

[Six Trails]

I think they did dub "plan" but it came as part of a video game or some shit.

It came with Raging Blast 2, but it was only subbed.

 

[Papasmurf]

I honestly never cared about them (especially Episode of Bardock which was complete horse shiiiiiiiiit), but that at least answers the question of why those three haven't been dubbed in nearly 9 years since the Jump Anniversary special came out.

 

[Super Saiyan Overlord1007]

I figured they didn't get dubbed because they weren't movies per se, but rather OVA specials. Then again the OVAs in question are as long as most of the movies in the series. I would like to see them be dubbed, I'd like to see who they get to voice Hatchiyack and Tarble.

 

[Let's Go Fearless!]

Now that Super is out on Eng dub, there's no chance funimation is gonna dub it.
