Re: Favorite voice for Piccolo
Same as you.
Furukawa is phenomenal, and only McNeil comes close to giving me the same experience in English.

Mine is Luis Antônio Lobue from the Brazilian dub and Toshio Furukawa as a close second.
Re: Favorite voice for Piccolo
Furukawa, hands down. He's one of my favorite members of the cast in general! If I had to choose a second favorite, I might have to say McNeil as well. Sabat's Piccolo is actually tolerable for me now though.

Re: Favorite voice for Piccolo
I personally thought so. I still like McNeil better, but Sabat's Piccolo sounds more natural now. I think Sabat's Vegeta is still more enjoyable though.Saikyo no Senshi wrote:I haven't watched Kai was Sabat good in it?Wezenheim wrote:Furukawa, hands down.

I hope Ocean Kai gets made someday so that I can hear McNeil tell Freeza to shut the hell up.

Furukawa with a bullet. Second place is McNeil.

Furukawa then Sabat then McNeil.

Re: Favorite voice for Piccolo
Sabat isn't terrible (especially nowadays), but Furukawa is far more memorable to me.

Re: Favorite voice for Piccolo
Furukawa is my favorite, but his grunting noises sound a little odd at times. Present-day Sabat is second.

Re: Favorite voice for Piccolo
Sabat was ROUGH when he first started with Piccolo, but then again most of the Funi cast were also bad at the beginning, and they've all improved leaps and bounds since then (in both later parts of the Z dub and even more-so in the Kai dub). Unlike some of the other characters, I don't really have a clear preference for Piccolo's VA. They all have slightly different interpretations of how Piccolo should sound, but none come out ahead for me.
It started to frustrate me a bit, so I just watched the three versions of Piccolo's goodbye to Gohan in the Saiyan Saga as that would be the point where the VA would have to exhibit more range. I still couldn't decide. I really liked all three of the performances of that scene! If we're going off of memorability though, definitely McNeil.

Re: Favorite voice for Piccolo
For me it's a toss up between Toshi Furukawa & Chris Sabat from Kai onward.

Re: Favorite voice for Piccolo
Furukawa for sure, McNeil in the movies and Sabat in Kai are about equal for me.

Re: Favorite voice for Piccolo
Toshio Furukawa of course!
But, Takeshi Aono as Piccolo Daimao is just unbeatable for me, for some reason. Great stuff.

Re: Favorite voice for Piccolo
While I can appreciate and enjoy Furukawa (I even prefer him over Sabat), Scott McNeil is definitely my overall personal favourite. He just fills the role with so much grit and personality plus he's got this dark, almost villainous vibe to his voice that I just love. His screams are epic and reminiscent of a metal vocalist (which is incredibly appropriate for a former demon King). He's just a superb casting choice all around and a great actor to boot.
