Well, I was aware of that. I don't know, Sabat has shown that he can be subtle. Take for instance, his encouragement speech to Goku in Kai. tbh I generally find Sabat to sound bloated & not natural. In his low voices like Piccolo & Shenlong. He has a natural weight to his voice but with all...

Well I was talking about his Kai voice actually. Even though his Z Piccolo voice was very throaty to its detriment, he gave a lot more emotional range with Piccolo than he can with Kai's piccolo who sounds very monotone. In that topic, I also think Colleen O'Shaughnessey would have been a good Chi-...

I could see him doing Piccolo a lot better than Sabat if he used his Zabuza voice. As satisfactory as Chris is, I never liked his current piccolo, as to me it feels extremely stiff, unlike Steve Blum's more smooth sounding stern tone. Agreed. Personally I've always felt that Piccolo in FUNi's dub s...

If not for Chris Ayres I'd consider him, though for some reason I used to picture Steven Blum doing Freeza. The way he talks as Orochimaru reminded me a lot of Freeza's Japanese VA. Well I was implying more for BZ/Toonami Asia dub...& yeah, Steve's high raspy roles (Starscream, Goblin, Orochima...

So this thread was revived apparently... After having run through Super back in February, I do easily see the others' idea of JYB as Cabba & Travis as Hit. Shame about it. I suppose Richard Epcar will do the trick, recently he mentioned he's in BZ's dub so maybe when they get around to Hit, they...

I'm sure that there are some people who like Funi's DB who have interest in the themes of DB. Definitely so. However I feel that it's definitely a minority & FUNi's DB had a much wider reach than a reasonably good DB dub (circa 1998) would have had. In the same way that Voltron is bigger than G...

I still sort of feel that most of these people love FUNi's old adaptation rather than having interest in the actual themes & tone of what makes DB, DB. After all so much of the fan discussions on DB revolve around how "not DB" FUNi's adaptation is. Not saying they aren't "real fan...

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...

Was Tatum actually considered for Frieza? He would have been great, but I couldn't see any other actor in Funimation's talent pool doing a better job than Ayres. Tatum is a great Zarbon IMO, I don't see anything wrong with his performance. I've heard Ayres and Nakao several times, and I can assure ...

Frankly, after watching so many anime shows in either English or Japanese, I don't give a damn if the English voice actors don't sound like the Japanese counterparts. I'd hate if every voice for Batman and Joker just imitated Conroy and Hamill. The important thing is to capture the personality and ...

Although I think no one can be a better Ocean Piccolo than McNeil, Drummond'd be an interesting choice, but I think O'Brien'd be much better as Vegeta or Frieza. Adler could play Frieza, but there are better voice actors in western animation that would play Vegeta and Piccolo better. BTW, I've noti...

I think that you kind of ignore the fact that Sabat doesn't sound like Hulk anymore. He doesn't sound anything like Fred Tatasciore, who could be a great Piccolo. Chris kind of has similar timbre to Fred, he could easily voice Hulk. A lot of Fred's typecasts are played by Chris at FUNi. I think Fre...

Ronda Rousey had a crush on Vegeta as a kid and I've seen Bill Bailey and Shaquille O'Neal wear DB shirts. Also, Steven Universe made some references to Dragon Ball Z, which annoys me because even though SU has a good message, it's a fairly uninteresting show with an unlikable protagonist that seem...

Link to this interview? I'm curious https://youtu.be/elx1ix3l_-c?t=703 Ben Diskin & I think Lex also mentioned similar tensions. & the way Patrick Seitz & Matthew Mercer (in the video) discussed it was pretty dismissive as if he wanted it as far as possible away. Very disappointing to h...

Really? I don't remember anyone rushing their lines in the Cowboy Bebop dub, which you criticize for having "replacement VA's", and not the real deal, like Corey Burton and Tress MacNeille. I've only seen a couple of Bebop eps, & mainly in Japanese. When I did switch to check out the ...

And I think you forget that Milton James lacks the youthfulness that Horikawa had in his performance as Vegeta in Z. Him having the regal tone doesn't suddenly make him better than Sabat and Drummond. Are you really going to prefer him over Sabat and Drummond even if he sounds old? While I'll admit...

Listening to what we heard of Zamasu's voice, I think Matthew Mercer is voicing him Interesting choice. I kinda see it working. Was half expecting Micah Solusod to voice him but Mercer might work. I only know him as Levi from Attack on Titan. Matthew Mercer has a similar baritone to Shinichiro Miki...

Generally speaking, care & input on leaving as much intact as possible, language aside. Even language is an issue, because I want to play or watch the art with that aspect intact. Language barrier's an issue with either dubs or subs, but with subs at least you didnt replace anything. That said, ...

At this point, I see no reason to complain about the Funimation cast. Like I said before, if someone just wants the dub voices to be 100% accurate to the Japanese, then they should watch the Japanese version. People shouldn't expect every dub voice to sound like the Japanese voices. Personally, I'l...
