I don't know the the new narrator or new Bulma. Still, Luffy and Gohan having the same voice should be interesting and Puar/Chaozu having the same voice as Tony Tony Chopper will be good I hope.

[Innagadadavida]

So this Doc Morgan guy... He's apparently a commercial narrator. http://docmorgan.net/.

I can understand why they recasted Gohan. That was a good choice. Still don't understand why they recasted Bulma but not Freeza.

[The Time Traveller]

I just hope the old cast don't fuck up like before, Sonny Strait, Sean Schemmel and Chris Sabat mostly...

And we need a new Freeza!!!

If they're gonna recast Freeza I don't think they'd announce it so soon. They'll probably announce that kind of thing when FUNi gets to Namek.

Anyone have any good clips of the woman doing puar? Apparently she voiced her in BT3/meteor (I think that was 3).

But he appears in the very first episode. Hell, he appears before Goku does!

Right I forgot about that. Been awhile since I've seen the first episode of Kai. Freeza didn't really have much of a speaking role though considering all he did was laugh.

So, we've got Zangya as Gohan and Lumiere (from Kiddy Grade) as Bulma, eh? The other two, I'm not sure I've ever heard.

Interesting. Just checked her wiki, apparently she's been doing Chaotzu since BT2. I hadn't even noticed a difference. Heh.

[Innagadadavida]

She sounds exactly the same. I wonder what happened to that poor librarian.

Welp, looks like the dub is gonna suck after all.

[JulieYBM]

OnePiecePodcast @JulieYBM Freeza should have the same VA

Yeah, I'm not going to watch the dub now. I'll check out the new cast members, but that's it.

[Innagadadavida]

I wonder why they're comfortable recasting somebody as predominate as Gohan, yet still will not recast Freeza. Fuckin' a guys.

Linda Young is John Burgmeier's mom.

Linda Young is John Burgmeier's mom.

Well, fuck everything!

[B]

Well, fuck that shit.

The only way they could possibly make this right now is by fixing terms and names, which is a hell of a long shot. Those recasts aren't bad actors(However, I don't know Doc Morgan) but they were not necessities like Freeza. Fuuuuck.

Stephanie Nadolny's being replaced as Gohan? Fuckin' A, she was great as Gohan after Season 3.

I can understand why they recasted Gohan. That was a good choice. Still don't understand why they recasted Bulma but not Freeza.

The main reason they're probably recasting the characters is because their original actors probably weren't available. It has nothing to do with quality. I don't see why Funi would base their recasting on the opinions of a minority audience.

I mean, do you really think that Funi employees are in the office saying, "Those guys on the Daizenshuu EX forums don't like the DBZ cast, we're gonna replace them even if everyone is available."

[Super Sonic]

I don't know the new Bulma.

Actually, aside from Hebert, none of the replaced actors do voice over work anymore. It's probably easier to work with actors who work for the company then people who have other jobs now. Hebert on the other hand works for Viz now. Interesting that they'd recast him as the narrator but keep him as Gyu-Mao/Ox King. (I'm assuming, since a replacement wasn't announced) I'm also guessing since they didn't announce anything that Schemmel is still Goku.
