It's Dragon Ball . What purpose would there be in using the foreign licensing company to just use people from the talent pool of their Americanized dub, to voice the characters? Those characters already have VA's as it is. It's a Japanese show; using white folks with English voices ruins the whole ...

I'd say a big part of it too is that Hitler is still pretty much the be-all and end-all when you try to think of real world villains: pretty much literally the worst person to be compared to, that absolutely everyone is gonna know. So when trying to describe Freeza's villainy, he's the easiest pers...

For the Kinto'un I'd have loved for Pan to have utilized it in her younger years, but she can already fly.... so there goes that idea :( Maybe Bra could use it if Toei actually remembers her existence . I would love to see the Taiyo-ken make a comeback! It's such a useful surprise attack I'm sad it ...

I don't think so, I think this arc has set the bar very high and it's very possible we won't see it exceeded for a while, however we still have 9 other universes we haven't so much as touched on yet, and universe 6 and 10 which we know little to nothing about. This is heaps of potential content whic...

No because I forget which one is which since their names are so similar and the trivia isn't exactly common knowledge and thus would just bring up more confusion in conversation than necessary.

Yep, until the day comes where the FUNi dub is aired on Canadian networks there is always hope no matter how slim it is.

Scott McNeil's scream in Dead Zone, excuse the heavily biased video for Ocean but it's the only clip I could find of this scene online, probably the best dub scream in all of DBZ imo

I'd say it's a case by case scenario. Dubs have gotten a pretty bad rep, mostly due to the early days of anime dubbing, in which because it's animated it was taken with the mindset that it must be for kids therefore it must be dumbed down as much as possible (yu-gi-oh anybody?). In today's age dubs ...

I am not 100% sure, but I am pretty sure the FUNi singles have Closed Captioning for the English track. Otherwise I'm not really sure where else you'd be able to find it, sorry.

Here are the episode titles, a couple are missing I think but this is the most I could find.

Admittedly, the video is pretty bad, but the audio is what's important.

WOWOWOWOWOWOW dude, that's some rare stuff you're holding on to. This is the highest recording of the Westwood dub I've heard.

Yeah, sorry about that, high quality recordings of the Cell Saga seems to be incredibly hard to find. You're right about the context so here's a scene when Future Trunks is more relaxed. There's a channel called Unified Divide on YouTube with many clips of the Ocean dubbed Cell arc in pretty decent...

I mean.. I can hear he's using a slightly different pitch in both clips but I would never think it's a different voice actor or anything. EoZ Trunks is also a younger and happier version of the character so it could've just been him making a different acting choice or perhaps a different director (...

Does anyone know who voiced Trunks in the last 3 Z episodes? That's Alistair Abell Seriously? He sounds so much better than he did in the Androids arc. If he can do a performance like that in Kai then I'd be happy for him to stay. Here's a video of comparison. Android arc Trunks: https://www.youtub...

Does anyone know who voiced Trunks in the last 3 Z episodes? I think he makes for a good Trunks. In fact looking through the Westwood dub the quality has GREATLY improved towards the end, just wish it was that way throughout the whole thing.

What characters do you guys think should be recasted? Trunks first and foremost, his voice actor sounds lifeless, and way too old for someone who should only be in their young twenties (?), I think his Blue Water actor does a MUCH better job which is ironic since BW is the budget studio. I'd also l...

Earlier this year, Sabat did an interview with Geekdom 101 and said that the audio quality of the Japanese score that Funimation was very poor with a lot of hissing/background noise which was one of the reasons it was changed. Given what else we know about what Funimation got from Toei (or lack of ...

For all we know they probably did have plans in place for a Canadian or European TV airing but maybe unexpected things happened with the networks like a shift in management or maybe it was Toei that got in the way, we really don't know. I do think it's entirely possible considering Toei did not all...

But yeah, I'm pretty surprised this goes on in anime. I didn't know they had that kinda money to waste. They probably don't, no matter how you look at it, licensing (especially an anime like DB), producing and mixing an entire 98 episode dub using well known, veteran actors without even having a TV...

So, what should we do with this thread? Close it, or talk about possible recastings? I don't see why people are so adamant to close this thread. While Kirbopher is a very trustworthy user and I have no doubts that his source is legitimate there has still not been any complete confirmation that the ...
