I've only ever seen pieces of it on the internet. My first exposure to the DB world was the syndication of DBZ. I haven't experienced enough of it to comment.Dr. Casey wrote:I'm curious what penguin and Kunzait think of the old Dragon Ball dub from 1995, if only because I've never heard them comment on it before.

I hope you mean Contra 3 because Super C or Super Contra was on the NES.penguintruth wrote:I think Ronin Warriors was probably a more accurate dub than DBZ's. But nowadays I can't even bring myself to watching that dub, either. I use the Yoroiden Samurai Troopers side of the DVDs.
Both DBZ and RW were on the same programming block on UPN or WB or whatever channel I first watched them on before CN. Samurai Pizza Cats was on the same block, too. My friend Jon and I would pause his SNES and watch. Then we'd go back to playing Super Contra.

Yeah, that's what I meant.ShadowDude112 wrote:I hope you mean Contra 3 because Super C or Super Contra was on the NES.

Hmm, not for me. I used to watch RW in the afternoon (somewhere between 330 and 430). My dad used to take me to work with him during summer, and I'd always run off to the nearby department store's electronics section and turn one of their display TVs to RW.penguintruth wrote:Both DBZ and RW were on the same programming block on UPN or WB or whatever channel I first watched them on before CN.

Could you please go into more detail?sbk wrote:Things I like about the Original:
- I like the music.
Actually, I agree on all of these.The more notable roles for me were Dameon Clarke as Cell, Eric Vale as Trunks, Chris Rager as Mr. Satan, and the VAs for Nos. 17 & 18.
Yes, you have to admire a company that listens to the fans and accepts criticism. Most companies would never go back and re-dub certain parts of the show, nor would they put back the original music and I have never seen an anime company put the sub track as the primary track for any DVD I have bought.Kingdom Heartless wrote:I'll praise Funimation for their seemingly increasing ability to take critisism on board...
Oh, wow, I forgot about those. I had pretty much stopped watching the dub at that point, but Kyle Hebert impressed me as Great Saiyaman (even though he mispronounced the name, of course). And I have to admit I love, love, LOVED the way way FUNimation handled that Cell Game parody. I will go ahead and admit that I think it was better than the original (which pains me to admit). Of course, it also made me laugh that one of the few things they got better was when they were purposely being over the top and corny as hell, something they usually do anyway.Chuquita wrote:Guh, I haven't seen the dub in forever.....*thinks*....
For Funi:
-I really enjoyed the cheese Gohan's VA injected into his Saiyaman voice. It was charmingly dorky. X3
-That scene where they show the Bobble-Head movie at the Tenkaichi Budoukai; the way Funi went about it made me smile.
