OOC characters in the FUNi dub: Does that annoy you

I love Scott and Furakawa equally for the diffrent sides they bring to the guy. Sabat.... let's not get started on Sabat. Put simply it's just bad.

A lot of what'd done in the dub is painfully caractured- mainly because of the dumbed-down dialouge they used. The characters weren't alowed to use their brains or their natural depth. They were made fit for idiot five year olds.

Oh I totally agree. It's pretty much the only one of the three Dragonball series where I can watch it in English and not be completely disgusted.

I think DBZ gets better as time goes on, and GT would've been better with different music. . Not that the Japanese music for GT is much better, mind. But I love English Dragon Ball quite as much as Japanese. But I'm bias, as it's my favorite part of the trilogy. (Well, from Dragon Ball til the Freeza saga's ending.)

Yeah, but still they should have treated Yamcha the same as they did on Dragonball.

I mean you just can't change from a shy coward into a hyper surfer cheating playboy form a rabid BulmaxVegeta fanfic in like five years.

Sad thing is, since they did most of Dragon Ball second, they really know all that much *about* Yamcha other than he A)Could fight. B)Played Baseball. C)Had a girlfriend he was always fighting with. But, we all know how convoluted DB has been in the West, so let's not get into that.
