Re: Official "Show off your Dragonball Crap" Thread

Nice, are you going to try to get the rest of the Dragonboxes or have you giving up on that? I don't know, the boxes are so expensive and I don't have the extra funds right now. I might be able to get the 5th box since it usually goes for the cheapest. Maybe someday you will get them. Maybe, I'm no...

Re: What version did you start off with?

A reairing of FUNimation's Freeza arc dub, just before the Cell arc started airing. It was quite a while before I saw any of the Ocean dub material, outside of the movies. Kinda the same here although I watched the ocean dub over summer vacation of 2000 that year and then watched Freeza until the a...

Re: Official "Show off your Dragonball Crap" Thread

Bare with my crappy camera quality, folks. This is my very small collection. Mostly from a few small impulse buys from the last decade. Haven't bought any new DB stuff this decade except for Xenoverse and BoG blu-ray. Mainly due to being focused on collecting other series has prevented me from incr...

Re: Is Nozawa's voice the only thing that turns people off of the Japanese version?

I don't see what's so bad about any of that. It showed that Gohan cared for 16 and we all know 16 cared for nature and life so why was it such "god awful" writing? But he didn't care for 16. He didn't even know the guy. The whole beautiful thing in that scene was Gohan's anger and pent up...

Re: Is Nozawa's voice the only thing that turns people off of the Japanese version?

VO not VA. The voice over where Gohan talks about how 16 loved life and how he's slipping is god awful writing. Then there's Nadolny who is without a doubt one of the worst dub actors. There's no charm with that cheese. It even fails at camp. It's just dumb. I don't see what's so bad about any of t...

Re: Is Nozawa's voice the only thing that turns people off of the Japanese version?

As far as I can tell, that song you linked to is not the one that plays when he turns SS2. It's a tad better than the one that played, but nowhere as close to Spirit vs. Spirit, and it certainly overcome the truly awful VO. The Ocean dub score was better than Faulconer's. The theme that plays when ...

Re: Is Nozawa's voice the only thing that turns people off of the Japanese version?

It was alright but didn't give me the same goosebump vibes I got when watching the US version. You got goosebumps from Gohan turning SS2 in the dub? How did the terrible VO not bother you? That music is so bland and unmemorable. It's uninspired for what is supposed to be a climactic moment. Hardly,...

Re: Is Nozawa's voice the only thing that turns people off of the Japanese version?

Maybe forgettable to you, but I remember that theme quite well. It also played during one of Freeza's transformations. Most of Faulconer's stuff is forgettable. I have to keep reminding myself what his Super Saiyan theme sounds like. Dragon Ball is a series that stays with you, so should its music....

Re: Is Nozawa's voice the only thing that turns people off of the Japanese version?

Meh Kikuchi score is very lacking when it comes to the big moments in Z though like theirs not even a new or unique track for when goku first goes super saiyan like there was in the funi dub. Just the same old kung fu music that overstayed its welcome. The characters fight at a different style and ...

Re: Is Nozawa's voice the only thing that turns people off of the Japanese version?

The operative words being "for me". Kikuchi gets the world he made the music for. Most of Falconer's tracks fit the Z part of the series better than Kikuchi's. So I'd say he gets the world better than Kikuchi who seemed to still be stuck on making it sound like a 70s kung fu flick when th...

I'm used to Goku and Gohan's voices but man do I still find it hard getting used to the japanese score in the Z part of the series. It just sounds so boring and out of place and doesn't fit a lot of scenes for me. Falconers score is definitely the one I prefer and I also don't like Kai or Super's sc...

Re: Do you like other battle shounen, and how do you feel they stack up to Dragon Ball?

I think JoJo, Hunter X Hunter, Rerouni Kenshin and Gintama easily surpass DB in its battle department. In Hunter X Hunter and JoJo you have these very creative power systems and abilities the characters come with unlike the beam spam DB turned into and Gintama despite mostly being a gag anime/manga ...

Not really. I never had a problem with Z's pacing and I still prefer Freeza and Bulma's original dub voices easily over their kai ones. Rest of the new dub is pretty good tho.
