It's called being consistent with past work.dbboxkaifan wrote: On the GT dub Feist said once "Majin Boo" rather than "Bu Bu" but putting this aside it was all dubtitles, I think.
Even if the Portuguese dub was terrible, I still find that international dubs end up doing more good than bad. They allow people to become (arguably) more interested in DB than if it was merely available in just Japanese. People can thus decide for themselves if they want to keep watching their dub version or switch over to the Japanese. International dubs, whether good or bad, help create a better global presence for Dragon Ball. I wouldn't want to see any international dub be ripped out of existence. But that's just me.dbboxkaifan wrote:Quebaz, are you denying that the Portuguese dubs were by any chance good? That's like saying FUNimation's Z dub was actually decent, which it wasn't.

Not trying to derail the thread, as it really isn't about the Portuguese dub (heck, we could really create a thread just for it!), but I'm pretty sure Quebaz is just saying your post was a bit overboard.dbboxkaifan wrote:Quebaz, are you denying that the Portuguese dubs were by any chance good?

Pretty much this. I'll be the first to make fun of the dub, but like RockTheDragon said, it's what got me into the Japanese side of things (tough Budokai 1 helped a lot) and at worst, It's enjoyable to listen to.omegalucas wrote:Not trying to derail the thread, as it really isn't about the Portuguese dub (heck, we could really create a thread just for it!), but I'm pretty sure Quebaz is just saying your post was a bit overboard.dbboxkaifan wrote:Quebaz, are you denying that the Portuguese dubs were by any chance good?

I mean, it's true the dub is pretty bad (except for GT, whose main faults are a few voice inconsistencies - mainly on the characters voiced by Chi-chi's voice actor - though Z had them too; and the narrator going completely overboard from a certain point on), going to the point of being "so bad it's good" (like when Vegeta's third voice actor lampshades the amount of voice changes the character had), but that's no reason for wanting it to be forgotten forever...

Wasn't expecting opening the first video of a Portuguese opening of Z and finding it (especially when I wasn't even looking for it) but... here ya go:omegalucas wrote:"Akira Toriyama said the Portuguese opening of GT is the best in the world, even better than the Japanese." - random Portuguese DB fan on Youtube.
Ain't even gonna say anything

MY HOLY GRAIL (110% Serious. Please sell me one)Mayuri Kurotsuchi wrote:"In this world, nothing perfect exists. It may be a cliche after all but it's the way things are. That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation. But ultimately I have to ask myself "What is the true meaning of being perfect?" and the answer I came up with was nothing. Not one thing. The truth of the matter is I despise perfection! If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"
An argument of which is the correct name to call him which lasted for 14 pages.. I couldn't careless what his name is any of the four spellings (Birus, Beerus, Bills, Beers) seem to be usable but just get the film out on BD/DVD already, FOX/FUNimation.TheOverlyMadHatter wrote:Actual argument on GameFAQs.

They're in their right there to be criticising them if they don't like them, after all, it's their opinion against yours.JackyBoi99 wrote:Then that is their choice. I wouldn't argue with them, unless they start bashing Kikuchi and Tokunaga and claiming that faulconer is god.
I really like yamamoto so I really don't mind.Patrick wrote:Incidentally, what's your stance if someone prefers Yamamoto's score?
Yeah that's fair enough, others can like what they like. I won't stop anyone from liking faulconer, really don't care anymore to be honest.dbboxkaifan wrote:They're in their right there to be criticising them if they don't like them, after all, it's their opinion against yours.JackyBoi99 wrote:Then that is their choice.

I personally wouldn't criticise anyone's work just because it's old unless it was unpleasant (to their ears it might).

Smh whats wrong with the North American DBZ fanbase? They hate on a better dub and praise a garbage one.
And really shitty taste. There's enough people who claim to have no nostalgia for the show that come out with nonsense like that.KentalSSJ6 wrote:Its called Nostalgia Goggles.JEFFMAN219 wrote:Here is what a kai hater wrote on the comment section on youtube
