And after watching this interview for Resurrection F of Sean Schemmel, I can't help but cringe: "I rarely let Masako affect my performance." "I didn't take one cue from Masako for Battle of Gods." "For what we do in Amercia, it's OUR show. We gotta make it our own." Th...

Another thing is that Kelamis studied Nozawa before he did his performances. He had a deeper understanding of the character by studying the orignial portrayal by the makers of the anime (and Toei also had a slight influence on the manga, I'm sure). Schemmel will always have his original bias. I vie...

Y'know, interestingly enough, there's a bit of debate over how accurate it is to brand Goku a "hick." He's definitely not intelligent, but the whole "hick" thing seems to be the result of both a rough US equivalency of his Japanese speech as well as a creative choice on the part...

I always thought that Chris Tucker (Rush Hour, 5th Element, Friday) would be tonally a good English counterpart to Nozawa. He's got that naturally high range. It's an awful idea, just interesting. I'd really love to see what Peter Kelamis could have done with Goku throughout the series with the RIGH...

I grew up on the Ocean/Saban Dub back in the 90's, so def Brian Drummond for Vegeta and Scott McNeil for Piccolo. And even though he was horribly misdirected post-Freeza, Peter Kelamis's Goku was the ONLY English VA that came close to Nozawa's charm and strength and actually GOT the character imo. a...

Super Saiyan all the way. I'm talking OG, on Namek, when it was fresh and new and before it became a bargain sale. He actually looks like a god. http://i.imgur.com/ozEpLKo.gif Bluper Saiyan or SuperSaiyanGodSaiyanSuperGodSaiyaSaiyan gives me diabetes. It's a lazy, grading, and unnatural recolor. htt...

A thread on queer characters and NO one mentions Whis? Really? On a related note I think it's kinda cool gay characters in DB were relegated to shitty stereotypes (General Blue, Otokosuki) and now the strongest being in the universe(s) Whis in FABULOUS. Go Japan! (Maybe soon we'll get leading Africa...

Nadolny a good Kid Goku??

The nostalgia goggles are in full fashion in this thread.

Granted Schemmel WAS chosen and directed to play Goku similarly to his American predecessors . What American predecessors? All his English actors prior to Sean were Canadian (if you count Kelamis as Canadian since he was born in Australia to Greek parents) which explains why English Goku today stil...

Of course he hasn't heard Nozawa, that why his Goku has always sounded like a boring discount Superman goody-goody. He definitely improved over the last few years but I suspect that's only because he's finally gotten around to watching the original version, which IMO shows his laziness as an actor t...

Battle of Gods: "Bro there are ELEVEN OTHER UNIVERSES with even stronger fighters AND gods!!!!!"

Fukkatsu no F: "fuck it let's just rehash Freeza again..."

also, has anyone pointed out that the Dragon Balls can't even bring back someone who's been dead for over a year??

Minus was crap. Toriyama had an opportunity (albeit totally unnecessary) to expound on the stellar Father of Goku which he himself worked into canon. But instead gave us a Superman ripoff. What made FOG great was it showed that Bardock WASN'T special or different. He was just another low-level Saiya...

Toriyama has become the Japanese George Lucas. The only way Dragonball Minus could have been worse is if he just reconned Bardock into a fucking scientist on Rigel-7 who invents a technique for Saiyans to go Oozaru without needing the moon. Then we'd at least go full circle in bullshit. And the Bard...

Wonder if Sabat is bullshittin. Back in April, Kyle Hebert also confirmed that he was about to start recording Gohan for Kai.

edit: His facebook post was deleted...but here's were his words-

Never was I so pumped for anything in my adolescent life until hearing Masako roaring on American TV, with Kikuchi's score booming, while narrated by Mr. Spike Spiegel himself.

God I miss Toonami...

I'm sure this question has been asked many times before, but it's always bugged me and I never found the answer. Future Trunks leaves in his time machine to the future of the CURRENT DB universe that we follow. So...even though it's been established there are numerous timelines, wouldn't Trunks be k...

The biggest mistake the Buu saga made is in it's identity crisis. Not just in the constant and tedious changes in Buu's forms, and the protagonist hopping from Gohan to Vegeta to Goku to Gotenks to Gohan again and back to Goku and Vegeta. But the tone of the saga itself doesn't know what it's suppos...
