I remember being pretty legitimately impressed at the time by Sabat's acting during his rematch with Goku in the Buu arc. The scripting and voices are decent during this time but I just can't get past the music.
Killa is such an inconsequential character that it doesn't really bother me. I mean at ...

Re: Weird Old Dub Stuff
Yeah I remember the UUE swearing. I nearly jumped out of my chair at Oozru Vegeta's "DAAAAAMN YOUUU" line.
Interesting that one of the few random uncut DB episodes I watched is the one with the mild swear. Speaking of DB I remember reading somewhere that later in it's Toonami run, the show became ...

Re: Weird Old Dub Stuff
Don't ask me why I remember this but I pirated a bunch of random ass DB episodes while I was in college two decades ago and there's a line from a filler episode in OG Dragon Ball where Ten is asking the locations for a Dragon Ball from a man he crippled during his more villanous days and the man ...

Re: Weird Old Dub Stuff
Yeah, the CONSTANT talking in the dub is something that drives me nuts, especially when it's VERY obvious that no one else is supposed to be talking. The dub also feels....overly punchy in spots. Too many characters being smartasses.

Re: Voice actors that you want to be replaced
Maybe Nadolny posted bail? Either way it's too bad. I actually didn't mind her Kid Goku outside of the gravelly voice that a lot of female VAs use when they're voicing little boys. I'm watching some old DB with my kids and I think she captures his ignorant goofy side pretty well

Re: Voice actors that you want to be replaced
The dub can be alright nowadays but the "legacy cast" - the guys who have been around since 1999 really bog it down. There's a large segment of the fanbase that would riot if that happened so you know that's not happening anytime soon.

I'm Krillin fan numero uno but him being stronger than Ten (this) is nutsTheCiple wrote: Fri Apr 03, 2026 12:38 pm If it meant continuing the Tien Yamcha rivalry from the 22nd tournament, then sure.
I dont think it really matters, but Krillin being stronger than Tien is unacceptable imo.

Re: How do you feel about the trope where everyone waits for Goku?
The characters did things in the meantime, yes.
But the story still frames itself like their success depended on Goku's return at the end of the day.

Re: How do you feel about the trope where everyone waits for Goku?
The only thing that really bugs me about the trope is it gets to the point where the B team is so outclassed they just sit around and lament about how useless they are. At least earlier on the characters could put up a bit of a fight and it felt like they were contributing. I'm rereading the Android ...

They should do a release that has all the grainy old fansubs put on a disc complete with excessive and unnecessary swering.

Re: What if Dragon Ball was American franchise instead of Japanese?
I'd argue the Funi dub, especially in it's syndication through Toonami era is so rewritten and tailored to the sensibilities of western kids it's practically an American show at that point anyway.

Re: Does Movie 11 deserve its reputation as the “worst movie?”
Dragon Ball needs more "B-team saves the day" plots. Hey I love Goku and Vegeta but everything comes down to them and their dynamic is played out. I guess Super Hero scratches that itch too.
Anyone notice Kuririn goes Super Saiyan in this? OK so he doesn't have the hair but he has the gold aura.

Re: Blood in Y7 FV broadcasts of Dragon Ball
The Saban/Ocean dub ("Seasons 1 and 2") of DBZ has a few instances of blood I remember. Goku wiping some from his mouth during the Raditz fight (though it's less than what it was uncensore) and there's a tiny bit on Tien's mouth during the Nappa fight (probably an oversight). There was also lots of ...

Another dub question - wasn't the UUE uncensored when it aired on cartoon Network? I swear I remember it being uncensored when I caught it on TV back in the day, including some nudity.
