Re: Are the Dub Changes in Kai TFC Dub an Issue?

I was kind of disappointed with some of those changes, but the majority of the dialogue is better I'd say. I guess I expected less liberties taken when I assume they had more time to work on this dub compared to the cell saga, which they claim was rushed (and it showed). Overall it's a very slight n...

Re: "Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters" FUNimation English Dub Official Announcement and Discussion Thread

In a way, it's kind of relieving that this series is over. I'm glad I got to hear a much more faithful and well-dubbed English DBZ, but I'll probably never get over how much of a disappointment Kai was as a product. So much potential wasted. From the show being a remastering instead of a complete re...

Oh man, those reminders of Bardock's crew and their name changes...man that TV special badly needs a redub :crazy: Personally I'm most annoyed by the Engrish names like Giru. Seems like such an elementary mistake...I don't get how you can call a character Cell instead of "Seru" but can't c...

Re: "Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters" FUNimation English Dub Official Announcement and Discussion Thread

It's weird - while the acting is much better and there's less corny joke and wild rewrites, I feel like there's a lot of spots were the original dub dialogue was actually better - particularly the Goku and Majin Vegeta confrontation. I think the problem is the Buu saga dub was decently accurate as ...

Re: Favorite Non-FUNi English Voices?

Blue Water's Baby Vegeta and Pan sound better than the Funi VAs for me
Also Saffron Henderson did the best kid Gohan voice of all the dubs, I wish they somehow got her for Kai

Re: What If Krillin Killed Vegeta in the Saiyan Saga?

Gohan and krillin die against Guldo, Frieza probably gathers all 7 dragon balls before Goku arrives. Lol quick end to the story. There was an old SNES game (one of the gokuden ones?) that played out situations like this and many others. A cool one I know of is the what-if scenario where Goku refuses...

If that's the case, how did Blue Water still dub an English theme song over the original instrumental?

Re: "Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters" FUNimation English Dub Official Announcement and Discussion Thread

This will be unpopular here, but I prefer the dialogue and screams from the original dub for the SSJ3 scene. I do like the Kai music for it though, makes it feel more regal and epic I feel the exact opposite. Dialogue is slightly better in Kai, not that the Z dub was bad or anything. But the Faulco...

Re: "Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters" FUNimation English Dub Official Announcement and Discussion Thread

The new Majin Vegeta scenes are definitely well done, but I think I still prefer the original dub in this case. Some of those old lines are just so iconic to me, accuracy be damned. I have to agree...delivery was still on point in Kai, but the "You may have invaded my mind and my body [...] hi...

Re: Should have been Kai been reanimated?

Absolutely. As it stands right now it's more or less useless to Japanese fans as it's inferior in almost every way to the original. Sucks seeing the nicely animated opening credits then settling for the same animation as Z. At least English-speaking fans have a much better dub. But if we had that pl...

Re: Ultimate Uncut Dub based on Ocean Studios Dub script?

I always wonder how much more expensive it was to dub the new, previously edited scenes. I always wondered what may have been if they just rewrote the entire script of the show (even though that wasn't really a concern at the time) because as previous posters mentioned, they were decently faithful t...

Re: Whoops! Sean Schemmel made a slip! Buu Saga Kai Confirme

Like Ajay has said it's been known for years so not really a reason to get excited about Funimation acknowledging Kai 2.0 as they've said so before. But I think this is the first time we've gotten confirmation that it's actually finished recording. And personally I find that to be a big relief, bec...

Re: Full colour print editions of DB volumes 1-16 coming

Interesting to hear viz cut out almost all the censoring, anyone know if they still censor/tone down the dialogue though? Last time I read their manga, the amount of "darn you to heck" types of obvious changes were an eyesore.

Re: How were you introduced to the series?

My first exposure was the 95 DB dub, but I hardly paid much attention to it as a kid, just another one of those shows I'd catch here and there (revisionist history shows me it didn't even last long anyway). So when I first watched The Arrival of Raditz, my real fandom began.

They were also a bit more accurate in...
