What does a delinquent sound like? Sasaki is overall a superior actor and he never sounds like he's trying to be cool, he just is.
It's not my opinion, I've just seen It a lot. It's still a much better dub than Funi Z and I still enjoy it but there are much better dubs now.

To the people who prefer Cook over Sasaki, a deliquent sounds cool. I like Cook's performance, but it's very overrated.

But Cook doesn't sound cool, he sounds like someone trying to be cool.

I'll agree that sometimes he tries too hard to be cool, but yeah, Sasaki is more effortless. The people who don't like Sasaki think he just sounds like a Shonen action hero.

Which is'nt true, compare the way he speaks to someone like Shirou from Fate stay night, shiro sounds far more generic.

You don't like Sugiyama? I wouldn't call his voice generic.

You don't like Sugiyama?
It's not that I don't like the actor, I just don't really care for either of his two most well known characters Shiro and Sasuke so maybe I'm biased.

DragonBallKing wrote:Isn't the issue Japanese fans have with Fat buu's pretty much the same issue dub fans have with Nozawa's Goku, It's hard for them to take one of the most powerful beings alive seriously with a high pitch voice. I don't have an issue with either but I see how it can be viewed as having double standards.
First of all Japanese fans aren't casual fans who only watch it for fights or muscles but they were exposed to Dragon Ball first then Z and if someone watches it in that order in Japanese then the Goku voice grows on you and they eventually start liking it.

I highly doubt Japanese fans look at goku The same way as US because in Japan he is an overgrown Manchild who loves to fight but in US they look at him like macho Manly dude who is strongest in the Universe .There is no way Boo should sound like Tele Tubbie just because he looks fat and pink, they could have given him a voice similar to Choji from Naruto or something like that instead of giving him a voice which makes even Chaozu sound more terrifying than Boo.
I think personally Josh Martin is overpraised because all he does is speak in a high pitched tone that's it. It's not a very difficult thing to do atleast Scott McNeil's Boo Voice needed skills to do it but either way both Were bad voices for Boo.
I prefer Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, DB/Z/GT Movies, Dragon Ball Super and Dragon Ball GT in Japanese.
For DBZ Kai and two new Movies I like both Dub and Sub. I Prefer Shunsuke Kikuchi Soundtracks over All other Composers.

Both Boo and Recoom were stuck with what i like to call "Saturday morning cartoon syndrome" where muscular characters sound like big oafs, and child looking characters sound high pitched and annoying.

The Ocean dub actor who played Reacoom may have fallen under the "dumb oaf" voice, but he was good at it. Martin was good with Kid Buu but terrible at the high pitched childish voice. It's not even childish so much as grating.

I believe the Ocean voice actor who played Recoome is David Kaye, who is a very talented actor.

I know its off topic but can someone please get the "GET OUT OF MY WAY PAIN!" scene from Yu Yu Hakusho? I really...need to decide who's better. Yes. Just in Japanese.

I actually prefer David Kaye's Reacoom Voice after Kenji Utsumi's because those two are the only one who made Him sound like a Ferocious and Hillarious Badass but Chris Sabat in Both Z and Kai Dubs made him sound like a Braindead Retard type of a Character and I don't know why, it's even Evident in This video

We'll never know. Funny thing, Sabat could have done much better if he used his Armstrong voice for Recoome. I can't fathom how anyone can stand Sabat's Recoome. It's just as bad as McFarland's Roshi, Schemmel's King Kai, Martin's Buu and McNeil's Android 16.

To be fair, I think McFarland is good as Roshi in his comedic moments.
