I mean, even the Big Green and Speedy dubs (of the movies in particular), for all their script problems and wonky deliveries to the point of parody vibes, were actually not all that far away from what the dialogue in the original JP version was, and especially with the latter of these, it was mostl...

but if they were unable to afford experienced people back in 1999, maybe they shouldn't have gotten the rights to it in the first place. The gag is they were able to afford experience people. Contrary to whatever baseless statement gets thrown around Funimation outsourced to Canada and went to the ...

Seeing a lot of "teen Goku" thanks to Dragon Ball Z Kakarot. He is nineteen years old. Yet a seventeen-year-old Gohan is called "adult". Stuff like this glitches my mind. :crazy: It's funny, though. What also really confuses me is when Cell Games era Gohan is/has been referred t...

Most underrated: Pauline Newstone as Freeza. People tend to just lump her in with Linda Young, but I actually really like her performance. It has the same pseudo-royal condescending tone as Chris Ayres, but with a lizard-like rasp that fits right in with the over-the-top performances of the Ocean c...

I've honestly never known anyone who disliked Justin Cook's Super Buu, just disappointment the filter on his voice is missing in the remastered dub. It's Josh Martin's Fat Buu that fans hate. My only misgivings is that without the filter its the same voice as his Raditz voice but those characters n...

However, some actually did try to do better with what they were given including Spain like you mention but also Germany with their own dub , as they tried to improve the scripts where possible which apparently was based on their domestic translation of the manga and included such corrections as usi...

Of course, we know that AB was behind the French dubs of the anime (both series and movies) and most of the countries in Europe used that as the basis for their own translations including it's heavily censored version of the episodes and S.O.F.I's scripts. Exactly. It's not weird to suggest that th...

It's still astounding to me that one of the most popular anime series in North America, probably even the world, is getting such shabby treatment by a company with the backing of the Sony corporation, while a distributor that appears to be five people in a storage unit are knocking it out of the pa...

They"ve also moved away from trying to make the dubs feel all edgy/hip and try hard like with Z and and especially GT. Lines that had a "ZOMG HARDCORE EDGINESS!!!!!!!" vibe which were the writers' attempts to appeal to the younger demographic they were targeting the dub towards at th...

I've never really liked Toru Furuya in anything, including his Yamcha. I don't mind Furuya, but everytime Yamucha speaks I keep anticipating from him to throw a rose and give Bulma some flowery faux profound nonsense words of encouragement.. Yes, every time i hear his voice i immediately think of M...

I understand that they're the only ones doing a decent job. And with the bad reputation that the first French dubs had, it looks like they've learned from whatever mistakes they may have made back then at least regarding how the series should be handled. Now that it's mentioned though, is it only i...

The Menza theme was also composed specifically for Cha La Head Cha La , but that didn’t exactly stop FUNimation from playing it over the animation for We Gotta Power as well. Of course, there was yet another option, which would've been to use the Andy Baylor theme, but that’s about as ill-fitting a...

Vegetto95, to answer your question (sorry, I didn't fully read your post until now), I guess you could say a little bit of both. Plus, I don't like that they replaced the 1999-2003 Team Faulconer opening theme with the movie theme. The movie theme is generic as hell. Even though the Kikuchi BGM rem...

I mean, when the point comes where Nozawa is (either due to age, health or whatever reason) no longer able to voice Goku, Gohan, Goten and others either with retiring or passing it's definitely going to be the end of an era. Whoever succeeds her going forward is going to have some VERY big shoes to ...

Yes, based on what's been mentioned before (like from Goku's VA) apparently they were literally in a hurry to do the dubbing and the direction was next to nonexistent...Which is why the characters all sound like they're speaking run on sentences at 10 miles per hour Speed Racer style. :lol: From wh...

The other movies and specials themselves were effectively dubbed more or less from AB's/S.O.F.I's (apparently poorly translated) French dub scripts of them. You have names and terms adapted from it like Space/Super Warriors, Crystal Dragon Balls, Magic Stick/Baton and so on. What baffles me is how ...

David Gasman's Goku is actually higher pitched in the GT special . Also think the voice they had for Goku Jr was quite decent and had some Nozawa vibes. I'm aware he changed the pitch for that special, but since the guy above me mentioned the deep superhero-esque voice, well, I had to talk about Da...
