David Lodge?

Re: Did Dragon Ball REALLY need Funimation to thrive?
If U.S Renditions release it back in the early-mid 90's, Blum's voice would be much different than what he used in Naruto. If you look at back at his older work as Guyver 3 back in 1992, his voice has come a long way (See 20:56 of the video)Ripper 30 wrote: Yes by using his Oorochimaaru voice he could have done freeza with a snake type smooth sinister voice but Could Blum have done a Freeza even better than Ayres?

I think his voice that he use for Guyver 3 would have been use for someone like Vegeta if DBZ was dubbed by U.S Renditions in 1993 or 1994.

Re: Did Dragon Ball REALLY need Funimation to thrive?
Yeah, he did. I believe he played Sansho. Personally, I preferred Terry Klassen's take on that character. Klassen might not be a voice chameleon like Brian Drummond, David Kaye, the Dobson Brothers or Scott McNeil, but he fit that character to a tee.Ripper 30 wrote:I think he did the voice for some character in FUNi dub of Deadzone.8000 Saiyan wrote:Well, Troy could easily voice Vegeta, Zarbon, Trunks or Cell in a LA dub.Ripper 30 wrote: Yes he could do heavy voices. what voice can Troy Baker do?

While the voice discussion is interesting in its own right, it is a bit far removed from the original point of this thread.

I'm sorry for bumping this thread. But I wanted to ask which company in your opinion could have given Dragon Ball success. I'm not pro or con Funimation but I want to know.

Re: Did Dragon Ball REALLY need Funimation to thrive?
A company able to make the decision to release Dragon Ball in an after-school slot every weekday on a consistent basis. Could have been anyone, turned out to be Funimation.
