Episode 1 of Dragon Ball Z Kai: TFC was released yesterday.

Here's a comparison between the old Dragon Ball Z dub and the new one:

From these clips the Final Chapters dub sounds better. The gruffness in the teacher's voice makes him sound older, Sharpner has more of a "pretty boy" ring, Erasa is appropriately more feminine, Gohan I like equally in both, the one character I think is a bit better in the Z dub is Videl.
Do you have any info about international non-English broadcasts about the Dragon Ball anime or manga translations/editions? Please message me. Researching for a future book with Dragon Ball scholar Derek Padula :thumbup:

The way Pablo Domínguez interprets Goku in Kai is kinda disappointing. The screams are not as good as in previous DB projects and in many places it's as if he's just reading the text. This is something I've wanted to say for a long time and fortunately I see that others have noticed it too.

The only European dub to feature the "Let it burn" insert song so far.

I mean the previous DB projects that Pablo has participated in like Super for example.

I don't think he's doing worse screams than in Super. His performance in the Super Saiyan 3 scene is a clear example of that, and his screams in the Let It Burn scene aired today are also quite good.

That was pretty underwhelming voice acting along with the scream.

Because if that's probably your reference of this scene, then logic is out of the question in your judgment of the Castilian Spanish version as it's far superior to that one.

I cant believe Spain will finish Kai after so many years, it feels unreal.
