Re: What's the concensus on dubs replacing sound effects?

Yep and eventually late in the 4Kids era, as I understand it, it got to the point that only the Team Rocket theme and the title music was being kept Nope, that's actually the TPCi (current modern-day) dub. Even later in the 4Kids era, they still fortunately kept all the Japanese music in all the fi...

Re: Between the Funimation dub of Kai and their dub of Super, which would you say is better?

Over on Schemmel's end, in Kai (the "tremendously improved" version); he utterly FAILS to convince emotionally because he's, seemingly pathologically at this point, fundamentally incapable of conveying subtlety and nuance of emotions. Instead of subtly choking back tears, trying to stifle...

Re: Between the Funimation dub of Kai and their dub of Super, which would you say is better?

That didn’t strike me as a “detailed explanation”. Saying that something sounds “unnatural” without citing specific examples is not a good explanation, in my opinion. Over on Schemmel's end, in Kai (the "tremendously improved" version); he utterly FAILS to convince emotionally because he'...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" FUNimation Dub Official Discussion Thread

Yep, he can't act because apparently he's a jerk in real life according to pokemon fans, seems legit. I personally still need to hear more of him in the role, but from what little I did hear I found nothing particularity wrong or bad in the delivery. Sure it's not exactly the same delivery as what ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" FUNimation Dub Official Discussion Thread

Not honestly too keen about Daman Mills as Frieza: his "You're always more fun" delivery seemed a bit forced, the impression itself is OK, but his performance doesn't really live up to the grand one Chris Ayres established to me thus far. I'm in the minority as well here, but honestly, not...

Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" dub seems to be coming.

...wow, where the hell did THIS thread trail off into? Not an update, but for one thing I found out Michael Dobson did King Cold for all of like 2 lines in the later parts of the Canadian Dub after a mis-label on BTVA. After confirming, I figured I'd ask him if he knew anything. https://twitter.com...

Re: Will/should Dragon Ball Super evolve?

Honestly, this Series had a great start, but I feel it's mediocre at best right now. I definitely think Super should evolve, and I feel like it will eventually, but for now I'm getting a very "OK at best" vibe from the Series. The biggest mistake they made with it to me is that they're jus...

Imperfect Cell was barely any different than Dameon Clarke's to me, and I think he was the best Semi-Perfect Cell as well as the only tolerable dub version, but his Perfect Cell was quite bad.

Re: DragonBall Z Abridged

How is someone an idiot for making a comparative assessment of the quality of two things? The fact that one is inspired by the other is entirely irrelevant to a comparison of quality. Making a comparison and concluding one to be of inferior quality isn't inherently disrespectful to it, or the indiv...

Re: Was _ really that bad/good as _?

Dobson's performance was much more natural than Schemmel's early on. True, but still sounded way too old. I can see why you would say that, but I don't think the soft voice is enough to classify it as sounding old. We never got to hear him in battle. You have a point: I do hope if Ocean Kai comes o...

Re: What phrases/opinions/things bring out your irate fanboy

Singh is King His Ash one at least gave the actors equal amounts of time but Kid Goku is terrible. only 9 seconds for Brianna Sidall and Ceyli Delgado? 4 seconds for Peter Kelamis? Problem with the Ash one is it took Veronica's (and Rica's) earliest work against Sarah's latest work at the time, whi...

He's good in Kai, but prior to that, not really: sounded like a variant of his Goku.

(Still better than Dobson, who sounded too old and feeble IMO)

Re: What phrases/opinions/things bring out your irate fanboy

Not a phrase or opinion or maybe even a thing but I hate the bias that most voice comparisons show. For example Teddykgaming's Goku comparison: Kirby Morrow: 10 Steve Blum, Peter Kelamis: 12 Ian Corlett, Jeremiah Yurk: 11 Jeffrey Watson: 8 Sean Schemmel: 22 Why give Sean more than HALF of most of t...
