Re: When will Nozawa and Horikawa be replaced?

I'm not hoping Nozawa dies soon but her portrayal of Goku has been going down quality wise, as I mentioned before. Perhaps Goku could be recasted where Nozawa gets a role as Brand ambassador, just like how Nintendo recently did with the voice of Mario.

Re: One Piece Remake, fans are so lucky...

Studio Wit is one of the better studios out there so looking forward to it.
And hey, if it disappoints we always have the original.

Re: When will Nozawa and Horikawa be replaced?

You are using the faults in their performances to follow Nozawa and Horikawa like a vulture and have them replaced. You can criticize anything all you want but you didnt do that, you are using the fact that they are aging and their performances have degraded to make Yet Another Thread about "h...

Re: When will Nozawa and Horikawa be replaced?

They wont be replaced until they literally cant voice act anymore. Not until YOU decide you stopped liking their performances. I didnt want to be mean but these threads are constant and in poor taste. What is in poor taste here? I'm criticizing their performance, not them personally. Whichever way ...

Re: When will Nozawa and Horikawa be replaced?

Not anytime soon. Nozawa is like the DB requivalent of Peter Cullen voicing Optimus Prime. Both of them will voice the character until they choose to retire from the role or die. The difference is, Peter Cullen can still pull Prime off. Nozawa can't. Daima would have been the perfect chance to repl...

When will Nozawa and Horikawa be replaced?

First of all, I respect their work and are fan of them. That being said, we have to face facts and the quality of their voice work has been degraded, especially for Nozawa, where it's especially noticable. Her performances sound very strained, especially with younger characters. However, as seen in ...

The biggest roster with these graphics?
I'm wondering what will be the catch. How much of the roster will be DLC?

Re: A new Budokai Tenkaichi has been announced

Hot take: The Japanese voice actors sound very strained and I wouldn't mind a recast. It's not an isolated incident, since they have been going downhill for a while, with Kakarot being another showcase of how they struggle to perform their character voices. It's now at the point where it sounds dist...

Yikes at Nozawa still performing as Kid Goku in Daima. I hope she gives him his adult voice since her trying to do the kid voice is sounding painful nowadays. Yeah, that surprised me too. While I haven't heard her performance as Kid Goku in Kakarot yet, nearly everyone I've heard from seems to agre...

I saw this SSJ4 Goku Dokkan action and was amazed how good it looked: https://youtu.be/zxRFZXADdIs?si=bAVQFHNAQRMa-N10 Besides the still frames and the flash-like animation, is most of the animation in this game during these scenes new or ripped straight from the anime? To me, it looks like a mix of...

How much do you see current DB character age in the near future?

Obviously inspired by Daima's announcement, one of my favorite things about DB is the aging of the characters. Seeing them grow, both mentally and physically. Some from kids to elderly age even, as seen in GT. It's honestly one of the things I like most about GT, seeing how the characters progress/w...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

I wonder about this franchise sometimes how did it become even more directionless? Near the end of the TOP leading to Broly it seemed it had finally found its footing a bit but man these past 6 years out of the upcoming 40 is probably the worse spot the franchise has ever been in.

Re: What is the lamest thing to come out of modern DBZ?

Zeno and the whole solution to the Zamasu arc being "Goku presses a magic button to make the villain disappear." I still can't believe they went that route. While the Zamasu arc was weak in itself, that finish takes the cake. It's clear Toriyama wrote himself in a corner and didn't know ho...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

Looks adorable, but it bothers me they’ve just made Goten and Trunks grow up just to make them babies. But I get it, would be weird if they were the same age as everyone else. Actually, that would make it more interesting and allow them to fight alongside the rest of the cast inside of essentially ...

Re: Daima de-aging - real reason: seiyu change.

This probably better belongs in the main thread. If everyone posts their takes on Daima in separate threads, this board would get cluttered.

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

Besides, Nozawa can't really do young Goku's voice that well anymore. Hearing her in the recent Kakarot DLC was hard to hear. Immense straining on her voice. Didn't she speak at the panel fow a few minutes? I have no idea what she said because they had the balls to make that stupid decision of cutt...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

Wouldn't surprise me if they took this route in order to recast the main cast. Notice how this is one of the few DB trailers in which we don't hear Goku speak. Having younger, "new" versions could be a way for fans to adjust to the changes. Besides, Nozawa can't really do young Goku's voic...
