Kanzenshuu

Not sure if its his delivery or the lines they gave him to say but his voice does not fit as the narrator with the Japanese BGM. They should have used the guy from Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z Kai

The more I think about the more I'm surprise the Blue Rays didnt use Head Cha La for the English dub considering Dragon Ball Z abridged has probably helped expose it to a lot of DBZ fans who wouldn't touch the Japanese subs

The opening, assuming its the one I'm thinking of,
would be less for kids and more for the slighltly older crowd since its for the uncut release.

I've always felt Linda Young was an improvement over Pauline Newstone simply for sounding closer to a male voice. It didn't sound remotely male and even if it did, she was so bad in that role. Newstone was a better and more seasoned VA and while her take on Freeza might have left something to be de...

Funi cast doesnt write the script

Back in the early 2000s, around 2003-2004, during the DBZOA era, Drummond was pretty much universally well liked. There was even another site wholly dedicated to how great the Ocean dub was and how terrible Funi's was, though I can't remember it. I just recall it being hilarious. I've seen Drummond...

Fortunately I didnt really start paying attention until the Android saga by then they were at acceptable levels


Looking back at s3 though oh my god.

or how the voice work actually sounds legit instead of a high-budget fandub. That's the one that bothers me the most. Not just because the Funi cast has improved immensenly and noted they have but its still, mostly, the exact same cast since 1999. But nooooooo to hear some of them talking its a bra...

Dragon Box is the only one apparently that does

Sabat's Vegeta doesn't sound British in the slightest

It's definitely not a remix. Where did you even get the idea?

Good? Bad? An obvious imitation of the Faulconer score for musical consistency that has no true identity?

^That's true. Saiyan Saga is a fitting end to Dragon Ball even if means Yamcha, Piccolo, Chiotzu, and Tenshenhan are gone forever.

Next dimension didnt bother me since it was obvious they died. Just figured next dimension is fancy sci-fi talk for afterlife

The first US opening (Rock the Dragon) also spoiled: Goku going super saiyan, Vegeta being a super saiyan, and the existence of Trunk and him also going Super Saiyan

I suppose it was done to allow switching being the Japanese score and English score to be seamless?

Regarding the episode titles

GameFaq and IGN are cesspools though


It does need to be said that ouside this forum the American DBZ with the funi in house cast and uncut with the Faulconer score is the most popualr version among casuals.

To be fair every adapation has either been no budget or misses the point.


Like Dragon Ball Evolution there was no reason to miss as many points as they did

^Yeah like I said I wish Pioneer had picked up distribution rights after Saban dropped it beyond the 3 movies. The Ocean cast with the Japanese score and Pioneer's lax standards? Yes please.


DBZ Kai is the only way to watch the in-house Funi dub imho.

I don't know, Sabat's Vegeta still sounds incredibly forced. It's a lot better than when he started, of course, but it's not great. I think that Sabat's PIccolo and non-surfer Yamucha sound a lot more natural than Vegeta. Team Four Star's Vegeta sounds a lot more natural than Sabat's, to be honest....
