Awww, no Nozawa voicing Chatwin? :(
That'd have been hilariously awesome.
(Though I'm not too surprised, she outright stated she didn't care for what she'd seen of the movie)


Bulma is going to be voiced by Misa/Haruhi/Konata?! :shock:
That'll be weird.

Damn, I was hoping that I'd be able to watch it in Japanese and get to feel just a tiny tiny tiny bit of normalcy in hearing Nozawa's Voice. But alas.

Holy smokes, Kappei Yamaguchi!? He should shout in the film similar to how he does the shouts for Ryu in the Breath of Fire games, sounding beastly and epic. =D

To the people saying Nozawa should have been in it: it sounds ridiculous enough in an anime, do you realize how awkward it would be in real life?

Wait, Chatku is "L"?

And if Bulma is "Misa"...does that make Vegeta "Light", or "Kira"?

Hisao Egawa (Yamucha) acted Spopovich, Pirozhok (Piroshiki, a big guy appeared with Mr. Satan in the Cell Games), and a lot of nameless mob.

Oh, Yamaguchi will be interesting as Goku.

For those who don't know who he's done before, here's a couple of his more well-known roles:

Usopp (One Piece)
Ranma Saotome (Ranma 1/2)
InuYasha (InuYasha)

How does Nozawa sound at all ridiculous in the anime?

Anyway, I would have loved to see her do the role, because not only would it make me giggle, it would be bringing one piece of the Dragonball that I know and I love to the big screen, which so far I'm yet to see.

L is Chatku? That's ... if he uses his L voice, it will be a very interesting Goku. I would like to listen to the original Japanese cast of the Anime voicing their characters just for lol, but I know it real life, it would sound silly. Seems like a pretty good cast.

It's USSOP!? :shock:


Oh wow would that explain why he's "not ready for this". :lol:


I'm going to have to watch the Japanese dub of this movie.

There is a fan-made DBE trailer with the original voices and SEs :)

:shock: USSOP?! Chances are he won't sound like Ussop from OP. But I love to hear his character over Chatwin voice.

Haha...this movie is being narrated by Arale. That's awesome.

Also, Piccolo is being done by the guy who dubbed Agent Smith in the Matrix trilogy.

You can hear him here:

Uh, wow... is this real? :shock:
I really don't know what to think. I'm a big fan of Kappei Yamaguchi but I never would've considered him for Goku... Ah well, its his movie version and all I suppose...
And wow Aya Hirano as Bulma... :shock:
