Re: Thoughts on Brian Drummond's Vegeta?

I can't comment on his Westwood performances as I've seen so little of it, but Drummond was absolutely spot on for the version of the character he was asked to play during the Saban era. Pure menace and cockiness in equal measure. Like most of the Ocean actors, he seemed to put a lot of effort into ...

Re: Would you like to see Japan do a live-action DB feature?

With a damn good budget and people working behind the scenes who wouldn't make pointless changes to the source material, sure. I dont think the first arc of the manga is anything too vast to not be translated well to film. But again, it would have to have a damn good budget and the right people work...

Re: Favourite Nozawa character portrayal?

Kid Goku is my personal favorite from Nozawa. No other voice actor I've heard so perfectly captures both the adorable innocence and warrior-esque resolve of the character like Nozawa. I believe every dramatic and humorous scene she's performed with the character, and most importantly, I believe that...

Re: Is there anyone that stopped or decide not to watch Super?

Meh. Super just doesnt interest me. Maybe it's because of the retellings of movies I saw already, or the art style. Or maybe it's because I wasn't fond of how the previous series turned out in the last season. It could be fatigue, or even possibly the nostalgia factor being cut off with the new mate...

Re: Chichi has a beautiful voice in the Saban Ocean dub

Like most of the Ocean group, Laara Sadiq is a good actor. She played the role of a stern, old timey mother very convincingly. It's not exactly Chi Chi, but for the version of the character she was asked to portray at the time, Sadiq did a fine job. It also helped that playing such a limited, straig...

Re: Moments that had made you cry.

This is gonna sound really odd, but the only aspect of the series that's ever made me cry is the music, as opposed to specific story moments. It's just so damn beautiful all around and fills me with a sense of nostalgia somehow. I didn't grow up with the original score for any of the three series', ...

Re: What did you guys actually think of the heavy metal music in the DBZ movies in the 2000s?

I find the final product of the out of place music and the DBZ footage to be like some crappy AMV you'd find on youtube. The best example I can recall is Lord Slug. In the first act of the movie, you have Goku and Krillin being sent to blow up what they think is just a giant meteor that could destro...

Re: Black Goku Backlash!!?

I don't believe for a second that Toriyama's mentions of a Black Goku have anything to do with the character's ethnicity. Especially since he's been mentioned at the same time to be a villain. It's probably just a darker colored Goku with the same features as the original. We've seen this before. If...

Re: Which Goku voice is the best?

None of the dub actors compare to Nozawa, but I do have a soft spot for Corlett and Schemmel. Corlette gave believable performances, but the characterizion was off. Schemmel is closer to Nozawa these days, but she's still closer to the child-like hick. The real shame is that no english v.a. has ever...

Re: Would you mind if DB came back to a kids tv channel?

It's like that in Japan too. I remember a Japanese youtuber named "The Anime Man" mention that anime these days are always market to teens and adults due to Japan's low birth rates. You still have shows for kids in Japan like Dragon Ball. One Piece, Yokai Watch and Pokemon. Here in the US...

Re: Who are your most/least favorite designed characters?

Favorite: Piccolo - I love the his vaguely middle eastern outfit. The turban, exaggerated shoulders, and cape give him such a distinct look. He's got a tall, imposing figure, but with an outfit that sort of represents his reserved personality. The colors are awesome as well. The purple softens the l...

Re: Would you mind if DB came back to a kids tv channel?

Nope, I wouldn't mind at all. It's a shame that so many anime's intended for older kids and up are pushed to late night programming here in the U.S. I understand that some content in these shows may not be seen as acceptable for youths, but it kills me that anime's like One Piece and Naruto can only...

Re: Why was the acting so good in the 3 movies?

That can make the acting seem better, though. I think sometimes people think they "hate" a voice actor's performance, when in reality, what they really hate about it is all the corny stuff they're given to say, and they subconsciously attribute it to the actor. Very true. I don't think an...
