Really?
I think it's Collen Clinkenbeard's Gohan which is more underrated I mean most Z Dub Fans prefer Nadolny's voice for gohan over Collen's

Re: How do you define a good dub?

Its just that with Sean Schemmel Voice he seems like a smart guy with intellect who happens to be Naive at the same type and more like superhero and at times he acts like a buffoon, it's just that for the humour part it doesn't seem as natural or even when goku has to act silly, in Japanese Version...

Re: Kai vs. Z Dub

Nostalgia is a perfectly fine emotion. I think everyone should stop running from that. I think people should stop running from the fact that someone might actually like the Funi Dub Z without nostalgia. And people need to stop using "nostalgia" as a filler for a reason someone disagrees w...

Re: How do you define a good dub?

Yes I agree Peter's performance in Whole DBZ Dub till Cell Arc wasn't very good but his performance in the Dub of 3 Uncut Movies was great and it's just that his natural Speaking Voice is not too manly or Macho or Superman Type same with Ian Corlet or Tfs Goku but Sean voice is just too deep for go...

Re: How do you define a good dub?

Snip I disagree, the only reason people say Peter Kalemis is the best Goku is solely for his one scream for "Kaioken" where he sounds exactly like Nozowa but his talking voice was horrible . You can't really determine if you can translate that same pitch to Goku's voice for English ears, ...

Re: Kai vs. Z Dub

I'm not saying either variant is without criticism, It's just from what I've noticed, people tend to not compare the original's strengths vs Kai's strengths. It's always comparing the worst to the strength of Kai. Kai's strengths are all around though. Literally every single thing there is well act...

Re: Kai vs. Z Dub

The worst thing is whenever I see people listing the old DBZ dub as an example of one of the best English anime dubs of all time alongside shows that actually have good dubs like Cowboy Bebop, Death Note or Baccano, especially Cowboy Bebop because that show aired in English around the same time tha...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions

Sure, and I get that many people don't care what the behind the scenes reasons are. They just care about the end product. Yeah I see your point, and I might have stretched it by calling it unwatchable. I suppose they did what they could given the circumstances, and I think I probably should give it...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions

I think it's just me but I find the Dubs of Dragon Ball Series to be Extremely Overrated compared to other anime dubs and seeing how the anime fans Criticize the other Anime dubs because they mispronounced some Japanese word but when it comes to DB dubs then it's no big deal when pronouncing "K...

Re: Kai vs. Z Dub

Oh, of course they exist. However, I've noticed that since very popular figures who shall remain unnamed have begun pushing the original version and Kai dub, a new crop of anti-Z dub, anti-Faulconer fans with the same intolerable problems as the dub community have begun sprouting in legions. Not ev...

Re: How do you define a good dub?

I really doubt that they cast Tatum as Zarbon because he was gay. They probably heard his audition, and thought: "Hey, he sounds good for this character. Let's cast him in the role." You'd be surprised. They gave that stereotypical exaggerated Afro-American accent for a random black chara...

Re: How do you define a good dub?

Is that the actual stated reason? It seems like a very strange and illogical move to replace actors based on the Funimation dub recastings, which were basically done due to lack of funding. After listening to some of the Hindi dub clips I can't say I hear many similarities to the Funimation actors....

Re: How do you define a good dub?

I do think the cell voice sounded very similar to Wakamoto than Clarke's Voice in Hindi, also our Kid Trunks was voiced by a male and sounded just Like Kusao's Kid Trunks and Hindi Dub piccolo maybe Imitating Sabat's Piccolo in Z but sounded much less forced than him and again a little more closer ...

Re: How do you define a good dub?

While I vastly prefer Nozawa to Schemmel, what you've said about Schemmel's voice is ridiculous. How does he sound deep and gruff? Okay I know where you are coming from but in no way I am a Sean Schemmel Hater and also, Overrated ≠ Bad. For Example Dragon Ball Z is also at times Overrated when call...

Re: How do you define a good dub?

I can't say that all the mandarin chinese dubs qualify under the list, at least not the original mandarin dub for the original series. In that, the scripts were correct faithful until I know, but it had a very small cast with few actors, like 5 or 6 doing all the roles. But, the post-Kai dubs and t...

Re: How do you define a good dub?

10. A character's age must determine their voice. If a character starts off as a kid, then have an adult woman do it, but if they grow into a man, then switch the actress out for a man. (unless said character still looks like a child). I Disagree, Nozawa has been voicing Goku both as a kid and adul...
