I'm of the opinion that Schemmel did good voicework as far as sheer ranges of raw emotion go. He had an admirable way of adding emotion to Goku's voice. He shined best whilst his tone was emotional. As far as making Goku sound in character like the original Japanese format (Masako Nozawa) and Ian Co...

I don't necessarily feel that Faulconer's tracks are disparaging nor in contest with the stock footage, just... not so good upon application. I don't feel OCEAN's rather monotonous BGM to be much better, but most don't clamor about that because nostalgia has a great deal to do with it. That's not to...

My issue with Sabat is that most of the time there is not a natural tone to his voice and general portrayals. With a natural tone one can feel the depth in tone Sabat gives Piccolo (despite epicly failing at capturing the merciless quality the Seiyuu and McNeil captured, though I feel McNeil could h...

I see both of them on equal grounds, though I don't like most of the movie villains that much to begin with. I always felt that Garlic Junior was horribly contrived and I've never been a fan of Dr. Wheelo. Nor do I like Hulk-smashing Broli or Tullece. The only exception for me is Coola (organic, not...

"We Gotta Power", "Saiyko no Fusion", "Angel", "Hikari no Willpower", and "Moeru Heart De". I feel all of those themes have solidified, fervid beats, potent vocals and great balance struck between audible confidence and vividness. I also feel they're...

Eric Vale is an excellent Mirai Trunks, despite initially dropping the ball, but to be more fastidious, that may be due to FUNimation's cringe-inducing scriptwriting. Chuck Huber is a great #17. Andrew Chandler is a very good Coola. Ian Corlett is an awesome Goku in that he merges the youthful tones...

Vegeta started out with that same superiority complex he bears later on (along with arrogant exploits), brushing off any competition and skating through the universe killing at a whim. Withal, as the series went on, hints of subtle appreciation for Goku (despite the overabundant rivalry that killed ...

As an overall, it was a rather adroit fan-dub. My only qualm would be that Gohan's dub voice sounds like it's some place closer to Laura Bailey's Chibi Trunks than Stephanie Nadonly's Gohan, but the music was well intertwined and you captured Sabat's Piccolo very well (what with the world weary tone...

I'm a huge fan of Drummond's Vegeta. Sabat did ok, but Drummond really brings out the psychotic nature in Vegeta's personality; Sabat just made his Vegeta seem like a grumpy dwarf. Scott McNeil is also a better Piccolo than Sabat too. Piccolo is more then just a tall green guy like Sabat makes him ...

And, of course, just before Gohan goes SS2, we hear Gohan's "dub" thoughts when the original only had Spirit vs. Spirit playing. Which was an improvement, as far as I was concerned. Nothing but the BGM there was a bad choice on Toei's part. Lack of connection to a character reduces emotio...

In the Dub, the constant offscreen chit-chat between characters or character monologues gets really annoying after a while. Especially some of the things that they say is stupid and ridiculous, also sometimes contradicts the story later on. And I can think of one time that they really fuck up, it's...

I hate Gohan in the dub, I don't think that either kid or adult VA was a good choice for him. I don't like the seiyuu for Vegeta, Sabat's good, but Drummond owns. Schemmel's older voice for Goku is much better than his newer one, I think the newer one makes Goku sound creepy, especially when he re-...

My roots stem from back to the OCEAN dub of 1996-1997, when the earlier Saiyan Saga and Movie 1 were still playing. So, if first is first, by full intents and means, Corlett's pleasingly young but somewhat vulgar tones, McNeil's amazingly edgy, imposing voice, and Drummond's sinister, high pitches s...

To be forthright, I feel it's more that the outward presence of Dragonball to the public at large equates to "OMG BIG GUYS HITTING OVER ONE TO THE OTHER AND SUPER SAIYANS" when they've had under-exposure to the Japanese version, earlier Dragonball (during Piccolo Daimao's reign and before,...

just pure silence as Trunks talks, better then the Faulconer shit While a notable amount of Faulconer's tracks aren't all that great, I don't concur on this in that I feel the track dubbed with this scene didn't add a hopeful note to what was seen on-screen and was rather poignant with a wide set o...

Sadly, this is probably going to be infinitely better than the live-action garbage Fox is spewing out (who I wish would lose the rights to the franchise already) because at least it's respectful to the original material in some way, as in I feel the live-action movie (however abundantly cringe-induc...

I feel the emotional beats of this particular track aren't felicitous for the sequence to begin with, though to me neither dub track captured this scene for me as well as the original. I find that the FUNimation one does get you into the moment, but that the original is much more arousing and...sere...

I feel it was that Goku had more of a stretch of time, incentive to run off of, and knowledge of the great peril that was heading his way. This forced his hand in learning Kaio-ken. In Tenshinhan's, Yamcha's, and Chaozu's case, there was no immediate threat after the defeat of Freeza, and even thoug...

I feel it should have ended at the Cell Saga (because of the melancholy ending, Gohan inheriting the mantle, a metaphorically tactical villain like Cell, and things of the such....) but that's just me. In regards to the thread's topic of discussion, the anime is chock-full of plotholes, unnaturally ...

My two cents - the issue, to me, is that the tone to FUNimation's VAs is... well... ultra-strained. Too strained, even for their grunts, which sound less like a chi-release and more like standing in a 6-by-6, which isn't very invigorating, as though they're trying a tad too hard. If you've ever noti...
