Dragon Ball Blue Water Dub
I have noticed that people always talk about the Westwood DBZ dub & Blue Water's DBGT dub, but not very many people show love to the Blue Water dub of the original series. I'm not even in the countries this dub aired in, but I still love it, so I'm going to provide some clips of this dub. Early in the series there is some severe censorship as clip # 1 will show, but later on it's basically uncut. Excuse the quality of these clips as they're not the best.
Clip #1: Goku Gets A Fish

Clip #2: Robot Oolong

Clip #3: Toninjinka is a Gangsta

Wow, in clip #3 Oolong actually has a decent voice in an English dub! Cool.

Yes I quite like Oolong's voice in this dub, and Bulma's is good in my opinion.Tanooki Kuribo wrote:Wow, in clip #3 Oolong actually has a decent voice in an English dub! Cool.

Re: Dragon Ball Blue Water Dub
Ah, yes. I think I have an old VHS of this dub. It was where they were trapped in Pilaf's castle.

Re: Dragon Ball Blue Water Dub
Wow, that's pretty terrible. But then, it is Blue Water, after all.

Soppa Saiyjins from Dorgou Ballru Zetto is my favorite transformation everah, especially when Trounksoru did it in front of Seru and when Bejita did it when he faced Jingonigen-hachigo. But for real, I use the FUNi pronunciation. - Soppa Saia People

Re: Dragon Ball Blue Water Dub
Oh come on it's not that bad. At least it's not as bad as the Big Green, Creative Products, Malaysian or Portuguese dubs are. Want bad watch those. Granted that it's not as good as FUNi's dub it does have it's moments where it shines. I can't wait to see more of it.

Re: Dragon Ball Blue Water Dub
I guess I am the only person who loves the Blue Water dub of the original Dragon Ball. To me Zoe Slusar will always be the English voice of Kid Goku.
Maybe its just nostalgia but I always disliked Funimations dub of Dragon Ball because I couldn't stand the voices. Thanks for uploading the clips.

Re: Dragon Ball Blue Water Dub
That was....Bad. The only voice that sounded somewhat decent was Oolong's.

Re: Dragon Ball Blue Water Dub
I always thought Blue Water was at least decent and not horrible, but then again I've really only seen their dubs of G Gundam and select GT clips. However, Yamcha is absolutely horrible. The voice is good, but he's totally flat.
[quote="Brakus"]For all the flack that FUNimation gets on this forum for their quote about DBZ, there's some modicum of truth to it: a 9-year-old is born every day. Or in some cases, "reborn". DBZ may be a kids' show, but it's been so close to so many hearts all over Japan, America, and quite possibly, even the world.[/quote]

Yeah I agree. I prefer Sabat's Yamcha myself.bkev wrote:I always thought Blue Water was at least decent and not horrible, but then again I've really only seen their dubs of G Gundam and select GT clips. However, Yamcha is absolutely horrible. The voice is good, but he's totally flat.

Re: Dragon Ball Blue Water Dub
Maybe Sabat's current Yamucha.
Before that, surfer/stoner Yamucha.

I will henceforth refer to this dub as the "Thong Gokū dub".

Re: Dragon Ball Blue Water Dub
I swear I remembered this dub being better than that. Perhaps this is proof that I am getting old.

Re: Dragon Ball Blue Water Dub
I think the shitty quality of the recording is what makes this dub seem worse than it is. And this is certainly the best English dub I've EVER heard Blue Water create. I mean, this dub is ACTUALLY decent.

Re: Dragon Ball Blue Water Dub
Well, I think I actually prefer this Bulma over any other dub I've heard. Can't say the same about the rest of the casting though
Re: Dragon Ball Blue Water Dub
Nah, I'm in the US. So he's right. I haven't seen the tape in awhile, so I wasn't entirely sure if it was the same dub.The Time Traveller wrote:Maybe he taped it?
