This forum is so over-dramatic that it's not even funny.

How? In what language? Japanese? English, how do you know?

EDIT: Also, even if they did, they must be ignorant of what constitutes a dub. For Example any cartoon made outside of Japan that is dubbed into Japanese counts. Like Ducktales, Steven Universe or even movies like The Princess and The Frog and Moana.

You did. I will alter it right now.

Also here is the article for "Dubbing" in Japanese. I want someone to translate the title lol.

I'm sorry. I'm just REALLY passionate about this particular topic. I intended my posts on the Kenshiro thread to be lighthearted. Guess they werent. I really love Kenshiro, even if I feel he cant kill Super Saiyans. Kenshiro's compassionate side is very appealing.

I don't understand this viewpoint at all.

If you're that against watching the series in Japanese, you can do the same thing that tons of other casual fans do: just wait until it's available in whatever your native language is. No-one is pointing a gun to your head and forcing you to watch the series in Japanese (as much as it may feel that way if you hang around Kanzenshuu long enough).

But again, I can't understand this. As big of a fan I am of the series, it flabbergasts me that people could wait. I need to know everything right away. I need to experience it. I need to be part of that community zeitgeist. It's exciting. It's so much fun to experience it all together at once. Waiting on that? When there's no reason to? My brain can't reconcile that.

To me, this just reads as: "I don't like it in Japanese; please validate my feelings." Am I totally missing the boat here? I dunno, I feel like I've just been trained by online conversations to look for some ulterior motive. And if I'm spot-on, why do you need your opinions validated? It's cool to like whatever you want to like and dislike whatever you want to dislike. You're your own person.

What throws me off is the "I don't have any grudge against the Japanese dub". So... but... why would you make a thread saying you're sick of it? If I don't have any strong feelings about something, nothing prompts me to initiate a conversation about it.

I'm just SO confused by the entire train of thought that goes into what you posted. Please help me understand!

You are, in fact, watching a children's show.
Will do... Sorry. It takes time for my brain to process more of my vocabulary correctly because how little I sleep and other stuff that's going on in my life. Anyways, I just want to see people's opinion's on what they think about the Japanese dub of the series.

Before, I prefered the Eng ver rather than the original, but now I prefer the original in a way, Sean is good with Goku, but Nozawa completely killer her Black role, no one can top what she pulled with Black.

I remember finding one character's voice annoying but I can't remember which.

It's actually grown on me a lot since I started watching Super though Grandma Goku will always be horrifically bad.

It's one of the main reasons why the dub has always been so popular, people just can't stand the voice. I've gotten used to it but yeah it's still terrible to hear.

It is. Or at least she's going to a higher register on average than she used to. I'm not sure if it's the script, the direction, or simply vocal comfort.

That is not to say her new performances are bad. It's just a noticeable difference.
