Masako Nozawa & I say this as a big fan of her voicing most of the Son family that she should retire after Super Kai as she deserves a break after voicing them for so long.
She can go on for as long as she wants. She will be playing Goku until she leaves (sadly) this world. I don't say that lightly.
Nozawa is doing voices for characters in other recent anime, if you didn't know. She voiced in Sanda, Go Go Loser Rangers, and a few other series besides Dragon Ball.

Nozawa has also been doing voice work for anime (among others) since the mid/late '60s, so she's by far one of if not the longest running VA's still active and Japan in particular.
DB collection related goals as of now:
1.) Find decent priced copy of Dragon Box Z Vol. 4 (Done)
2.) Collect rest of manga
3.) Get rest of Daizenshuu (2-7)

I'm well aware of that I just think she deserves to take a break from voicing the Son Family

Buu's Funimation dub voice is the worst voice in that whole dub. The Teletubby talk is horrible, but the voice is much worse.
The Iron Fjord will kick you in the nuts!

I hate that voice. I get giving him a childish voice, but the voice is just
grating. It doesn't help that the Japanese Buu voice actor was incredible with nuanced acting. I can enjoy the US cast nowadays but that Buu voice is just the worst.
The US Cell voice should also be recast. Not only does he sound like a bad Plankton impersonator, he plays it way too much over the top, even for anime.
