There, subbies, you guys win. Now I don't wanna hear anymore complaints about the Faulconer music since you'll never have to deal with it again. Congratu-fucking-lations.

I've heard that Kyle Hebert is really nice to his fans. Maybe someone could ask him on Twitter if he's doing the previews.

Quit being such a baby. :lol:

It's a good thing there'll be no Falconer score, he's terrible, it doesn't matter if you like them or find them nostalgic, they don't FIT in with Dragon Ball Z.

We're finally getting Dragon Ball Z done properly for once, maybe you guys should just give in and watch it in Japanese? You'll probably love it.

F that. Goku sounds like a girl and they all talk too fast. I'd prefer the worse-than-1991 Sega midi Falconer track and great voiceover work like Android "My balls are in a vicegrip" #19.

If you don't wanna hear complaints about his music, you should just go to FUNi's forum or somewhere dubbies get together. I am also a fan of Faulconer's score, but I have to say that it's quite childish that you cannot be receptive to someone's complaints about what you like.

I think Nathan Johnson's score is shit, but you don't see me doing the victory dance since that's gone, too.

I already tried it. Loved it during the Saiyan and Frieza sagas, liked it during the Android and Cell sagas, and hated it in the Buu saga.

I'm not quite sure Mike's vision is for the site to be a 'No dubbies allowed' place, but rather with the focus on the original version.

I realize that a lot of us are jubilant that the original score has (most likely) prevailed, but that's no reason to go telling people who appreciate the Faulconer track not to be upset or that they should like what we like. Let's respect their right to grieve and let them come to their own decisions on how they listen to DragonBall.

Well if they were dubbing Dragon Ball today they wouldn't compose a new score for it. They don't do that for any other show these days so I guess it makes a lot of sense. It still sucks though. There are at least 15 scenes that are gonna be ruined because of this....

I completely respect your opinion, and I respect you. I enjoyed discussing this with you, even if I don't completely agree.

If we're all here for a reason then I'm just visiting.

If it's held in your heart then you can't let go.

Vegeta's Final Flash just lost all of it's coolness. Episode 191 is just a regular episode now.

Vegeta turning Super Saiyan, Goku turning SSJ3, Gohan killing Cell, Imperfect Cell's theme...All ruined....

F that. Goku sounds like a girl and they all talk too fast. I'd prefer the worse-than-1991 Sega midi Falconer track and great voiceover work like Android "My balls are in a vicegrip" #19.
Y'know... I've never heard anyone complain about Kenshin being voiced by a woman...

Rurouni Kenshin's voice sucks he sounds like a girl and tha Batosai is a stupid name what the hell.

Woah now...the Japanese score was bloody awesome when Gohan killed Cell. If music could spell that piece spelt "the fall of a great evil, a heroic inner conquest!"

But alas...opinions...

To us, Japanese, all characters talk faster in English dubs because of the stupid additional lines and Goku sounds like a poofy guy.

Best to ignore him, friend. Some are just the overreacting type.

I'm not complaining about Goku's voice, just kind of laughing off the reason why others do. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

Don't take it seriously. I prefer the original audio if that isn't evident by my posts in this thread and elsewhere on the site.
