I have no problem with accents as long as the voice fits (which Jheese's English voice does).

Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" dub seems to be coming.
My problem with the accent is that there's no reason for it. It doesn't add dimension or anything. The character didn't speak abnormally in the original version. I wouldn't have a problem if that was the actual accent of the voice actor, and speaking in a way comfortable for them was how they got their best acting results, but that hasn't been the case.

Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" dub seems to be coming.
Yeah, it's like them saying that Jeice was too bland, so they needed to make him more interesting by giving him a random accent. As said before, I don't believe it's the job of the dubbing company to "improve" and change the anime.batistabus wrote:My problem with the accent is that there's no reason for it.

In any case, if this dub isn't getting a DVD/BD release, then chances are it will have a replacement score. I can't imagine them licensing the Kikuchi music simply for a TV airing.

Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" dub seems to be coming.
It'll probably get a DVD/BRD release, hopefully as I'll be buying it.
All I want to know is when are they going to start airing it..

Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" dub seems to be coming.
Why do you think that? The later seasons of the Ocean dub of DBZ never received a release. In North America, it's likely that only Funimation's produced dub would be available.Daimo-Rukiri wrote:It'll probably get a DVD/BRD release
If it does get released on physical media (which I doubt), I'd be willing to buy it and check it out, but I have a hard time believing that will be the case.

Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" dub seems to be coming.
Me too. I get the impression that this new dub of Kai, like the Westwood dub of Z, will be a TV-only dub. One that I'm very excited to see, certainly, but not one that I expect to own. I get the impression that everybody outside of Canada is going to be watching it the same way I will be--scattered YouTube clips.penguintruth wrote:Why do you think that?

Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" dub seems to be coming.
Probably but we can hope to get a release.. or beg for one :/
So it's not odd to have every character speak in a mid-western/North American accent? So to you guys, Lets say if it were to be dubbed by Aussies or Scots or even Brits, would it be okay if all the characters had British-type accents?

Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" dub seems to be coming.
I actually don't mind diverse accents in something like Dragon Ball, what with the amount of Alien creatures and others similar.
It gives some sort of variety to the characters. Not everyone is going to sound the same so why not mix it up a bit?

That's how I feel. It seems many people think if one speaks English it should sound like an AMERICAN!Gonstead wrote:I actually don't mind diverse accents in something like Dragon Ball, what with the amount of Alien creatures and others similar.

Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" dub seems to be coming.
No. Accents are unnecessary and feel out of place. If they want voices to sound differently, they'll make the voices sound differently.

So,
Would you, AgitoZ, hate your shows to sound like that?to you guys, Lets say if it were to be dubbed by Aussies or Scots or even Brits, would it be okay if all the characters had British-type accents?

Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" dub seems to be coming.
It has nothing to do with the accent, it's that they're getting a Canadian man to use a foreign accent because they think it for some reason suits the character. If there was a consistent British dub where everyone had British accents, I'd be fine with that.Attitudefan wrote:Probably but we can hope to get a release.. or beg for one :/

Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" dub seems to be coming.
Right. Jeese isn't meant to sound out of place. The problem isn't that they don't sound "American", it's that he sounds out of place for no reason, and the voice actor doesn't even have that accent. If you're going to use the "aliens should sound diverse" line, then there should be more than one with an accent.

For your information, Burter occasionally speaks in a feminine way in the original Japanese version.

Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" dub seems to be coming.
Well... maybe there is?
Okay, I am glad that we got the accent point across!
To be honest, I really like Scott's Jiece because I find it convincing. The accent doesn't sound bad, it actually sounds pretty legit. Zarbon had an accent just to remind you guys.
