I'm only familiar with Funimation for their treatment of Dragonball, DBZ and DBGT (and Kai), and as I recall from way back then, they had a habit of cutting a lot out and changing all the music (and the music-changing habit seems to have been retained by Kai, at least partially). Do they do that with their other shows, too, or was that just a dragonball thing?

At this point, they pretty much never cut anything (and you can get uncut DBZ and the like now too).
I've heard that their "uncut" DBZ series did still cut some things. Or did they do another uncut? (Not that it really matters. As much as I used to love DBZ, I got tired of it a long time ago.)They did do more editing in the past, but I think that it's been several years since they really did that on anything. They've come a long way since they did DBZ.
That's good to hear. The whole anime/manga localization industry (at least English-localization anyway) seems to have really gotten a lot better over the years. "Flipped" left-to-right mangas are an ancient relic, and I find myself going for anime subs less and less: for instance, the English dubbing on Death Note was amazingly good. I tired listening to the japanese audio on that, and actually rather disliked it by comparison.

Funimation got the DVD distribution rights and later the rights to the uncut version and went back re-dubbed everything. Also, the DBZ Kai and the various 're-mastered' editions have all been pushed from the Japanese side and weren't things Funimation did.
Heh, I guess that shows how much I've payed attention to the business side of it ;)

At this point, they pretty much never cut anything (and you can get uncut DBZ and the like now too). At most, it would be cut for broadcast. They sometimes do English versions of the songs for the opening and closing credits, but more often than not they don't (and when they do, they actually do a pretty good job - they certainly don't change what the music is in either case). They did do more editing in the past, but I think that it's been several years since they really did that on anything. They've come a long way since they did DBZ. - Jonathan M Davis
