If you are watching the anime of Dragon Ball, you are watching a product created by Toei (based on the story of Akira Toriyama), and therefore when it comes to the anime of Dragon Ball the characters become their characters (not Funimation's), and therefore the decisions on how characters should sound are theirs (not Funimation's). You don't like the adaptation Toei did of the original manga and how they brought some of the characters to life? Well, too bad. Still, that doesn't give Funimation the right to "improve" anything. Appearently now dubbing companies have the right to completely change a character if they think the way the original sounds is not appropriate? Are we crazy?*Buzz*...Wrong-o buddy. The characters were created by Akira Toriyama. The only true-ness to the character is what Toriyama writes down. He did not choose Horikawa as Vegeta. A director did. Just because this director came from Japan and worked on the series doesn't mean he has a more legit opinion on how a character should sound. How a character should sound is subjective. Original does not mean true or correct. It just means he was the first.
By that I mean after watching an episode, I would rewind and watch a few scenes with the dub track on, I honestly can't sit through an entire episode.Gozar wrote:Spot Checked?

Well in Nozawa's case, Toriyama personally picked her out, and said that while drawing the manga he imagined Goku speaking in her voice, and that he couldn't imagine anyone else voicing Goku.Gozar wrote:No, it's not how they're "supposed" to sound. A voice for a character is a very subjective thing. It Masako Nozawa never auditioned for Goku then Goku could have a completely different voice. A voice choice for a character is the combination of the director and actor.

She/Her I don't see a problem with the voice he was using there.JulieYBM wrote:This is his current Piccolo voice. It's really just him speaking in his deeper registers.
Even Sabat admits it's hard for him to act when having to do character voices.
What's wrong with it? It's my favorite voice for him.JulieYBM wrote:This is his current Piccolo voice. It's really just him speaking in his deeper registers.

That scene, and the entire episode 191 are the two occasions where I can honestly say that the dub trumped the Japanese version:Nikkolas wrote:I'll never get what people have against the music added in the dub.

The Super Saiyan Vegeta soung playing when Vegeta attacks is epic. I get chills when i watch this scene because the atmosphere is just so perfectly conveyed to me.
Some people just don't like synthesized "X-treme" music. In my opinion it's the equivalent of scrapping the Star Wars soundtrack and instead adding a bunch of music from My Chemical Romance.Nikkolas wrote:I'll never get what people have against the music added in the dub.

How is that music any different from the stuff played before it? No offense, I just don't hear it. I must not be hardcore enough despite being an old school ECW fan.Nikkolas wrote:I'll never get what people have against the music added in the dub.

Hey thanks, Toei. I never would have known Vegeta was thinking about Trunks' death without you flashing back to it.Nikkolas wrote:I'll never get what people have against the music added in the dub.
