Re: English dubs of DBZ get away with what others can't?

I'm not really sure what you're talking about. A lot of people hate the english dub of Dbz. In fact, several of the people on this website are actually very vocal about how much they hate the Z dub.

Re: Why was Kai poorly advertise in the US?

Well to be fair, Nicktoons isn't a very popular network and a lot of people don't even have access to it as a tv channel.Also as far as the lack of merchandise and tie-ins are concerned, I dont think Funimation really has time for stuff like that anymore. Nowadays Funimation is a very busy dubbing c...

You think it's bad but you still like it? Nelson Mandela was a cold blooded murderer, and Gandhi was a racist, but I mean, I still liked them. Woah!

Re: Android #18: One of Toriyama's best designs?

I always think that the second form looks the best among his forms, but it seems that I'm in a minority. It's my favorite, too. The facial expressions Toriyama drew are priceless. The full body panels are drawn with such a strong sense of anatomy and proportion, too. The second form really is very ...

Re: How did the re-cast characters turn out (in your opinion

I know I'm bringing an old thread back here, but I figured I would give my opinions on the matter. Some of the new voices in Kai were definitely superior to the old voices in my opinion such as Chris Ayers as Freeza. On the other hand, there were some old voices that I prefer such as McCoy as 18, Ja...

Re: What if Toriyama never created the Cell saga?

If the Cell saga was never made, the Buu saga would have turned out a lot differently to say the least.

Re: Is there a reason why the Ocean Dub didn't dub all 13 fi

Yes I know the Funi cast were inexperienced but why does that mean the Ocean cast wouldn't improve as much in the same position? If anything the added experience would give the Ocean cast a head start. I guess we'll have to wait until the Ocean dub of Kai is finally released before making that argu...

Re: Is there a reason why the Ocean Dub didn't dub all 13 fi

That's a matter of opinion and it doesn't exactly answer my question, in any case I disagree. I think the voice acting in both the old Saban dub and the Pioneer dubs were actually pretty inconsistent with all those weird awkward pauses whenever characters were speaking among other things. Furthermo...

Re: Is there a reason why the Ocean Dub didn't dub all 13 fi

With all due respect, I honestly don't get why the Ocean voice cast gets so much praise. It probably has something to do with the fact that they did such a respectable job with their first and only dubbing of Dragon Ball Z. Had they been given the same opportunity as the Funi in-house cast to do th...

Re: Is there a reason why the Ocean Dub didn't dub all 13 fi

I always wanted to hear what would happen if Pioneer did dub all the films with the Ocean cast and proper BGM music. Like Broly could have been a great villain dub wise if Pioneer and the Ocean cast had handled him (personally I find his funimation voice is very generic "I'm a loud evil psycho...

Re: Is there a reason why the Ocean Dub didn't dub all 13 fi

One thing that really bothered me about movie 4's dub and everything afterward was that I expected the movies to be dubbed with the same amount of care that the first three were -- the original BGM, accurate scripts, etc and I remember being really, really disappointed with movie 4's DVD finally ca...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions

I dislike Brian Drummond as Vegeta. To me Chris Sabat does a much better job as the character. In honesty, that falls in with the FUNimation YouTube crowd, so the opposite would be more unpopular. So is it bad to prefer Chris Sabat? I just think his voice fits the whole "proud warrior race&quo...

Re: Which DBZ Arc you hated at first, but grown to like it

I used to hate the Freeza saga when I was a kid because I thought it was really long and dull, but now I actually enjoy it quite a bit and I think it's a much better story arc than the Cell saga.

Re: "Explain why DBZ is bad."

DBZ is more known, but that doesn't mean it's mostly preferred to DB. In MY experience, practically everybody who's watched both DB and DBZ (or read the manga) prefer the DB portion. I can agree with this statement somewhere. A lot of people who prefer DBZ have never seen DB or ignored it because i...

Re: "Explain why DBZ is bad."

I don't think anyone here really considers Dragon Ball as a whole to be a masterpiece by any means, it's just enjoyable to read/watch without thinking too much about it all.
