I also think Ocean Buu arc > FUNi old Z dub, despite thinking the opposite for the Cell arc. But yeah something about Morrow I think is underrated. His SS3 scream for example was sooo much better than Schemmel's old Z one, like Schemmel's SS3 Kai it felt like there was more weight to Morrow's screaming in the scene.
I also think that Morrow is better than people give him credit for. He was a step up from Westwood era Kelamis imo.
And while I still prefer Funi's old Buu dub to Ocean's I will say that the Westwood dub suddenly got really good around the Fusion and Kid Buu sagas. The new music tracks they started using made a world of difference and it's a shame they didn't introduce them sooner.
I like all the Ocean Gokus, and I consider every single one of them to be superior to Sean Schemmel at the time their time in the show.
But yes, Morrow specifically is very unerrated. I really like him, and while his screams did come off a bit weak at some points, he blows me away with Super Saiyan 3. And man, the overall approach overall there was so cool... He sounded like he was seriously in pain, like he was dying or something, all while Kaio was yelling at him to stop with incredible urgency, and the music was sounding really tense and serious... The transformation was just a lot darker in Ocean's dub than Funimation's, like you know Goku really shouldn't have tried it.
I must say, I think the Ocean dub was better than Funi's old dub all the way through; the difference was a lot bigger in the Boo arc, when a lot of excellent new cast members were brought in for Ocean's dub(Brad Swaile as Gohan is perfection), and many of the old cast had settled into their roles just enough for them to really get into an unstoppable stride, and I think the direction got a lot more consistent... And yeah, music got a lot better, with the Monster Rancher score being added to the music library, and some original tracks too.
But, I still consider the Cell arc to be Ocean > Funi.

Haha, same. I thought Sabat kind of started to find his Vegeta voice starting from the Boo arc, but he didn't really get good until after GT; probably somewhere in the video games before Kai.

A new channel which hasn't opened yet. It looks like it'll be carrying some amount of anime, including Ocean Kai.
Super Saiyan Prime wrote:Wow Unlimited Media, a Canadian animation company formed by the merger of Rainmaker Entertainment and Frederator Networks, is purchasing a TV channel from Bell Media with plans of rebranding it. Bell Media's president revealed that channel would be Comedy Gold, which currently airs old sitcoms and standup routines. The purchase was officially inked in September but still needs to be approved by the Canadian government. There's no reason to believe that won't happen but it's just taking its time (expected to be around 6 months) since all governments are slow.
The person tasked with heading up this channel is Marni Shulman. A few months ago, we managed to get her to look into acquiring the rights to Dragon Ball Kai. She hasn't publicly confirmed whether or not she was successful in doing so but if she was, she'd probably want to wait to announce that closer to the channel's launch.
This all seems accurate, though I'd like to point out one point of clarification -- the channel being closed is Comedy Gold. We don't know what Wow Media will be calling the channel for sure, I don't think, though I imagine it will be called something like "Wow Unlimited".
The point of Dragon Ball is to enjoy it. Never lose sight of that.
