Die-hard dub fans (why are you, if so?)

Do have to ask what did you guys think of Mr. Sabat's Mr. Popo? Myself I like it more than the Japanese because he sounds more intelligent. The Japanese voice coupled with how he looks is something I'm not too fond of, though guess that's obvious from me.

Listening to both voices, I find myself being insulted twice.

Ha ha yeeaaaaah I can see why some would have an issue with his Japanese voice. I don't mind it but I'm not holding it against anybody who does.

Woah woah woah. Woah.

The literal reincarnation of King Piccolo does not share a voice actor with him, yet every single male related to Goku (save for Raditz) has the same voice?

Well, Piccolo Daimao was voiced by Takeshi Aono, who voiced Kami. It sorta makes sense. I guess they wanted to go in a different direction with the new Piccolo, but I'm not sure why.

Hell, whatever led to the decision, we got Toshio Furukawa out of it, and the man is a legendary voice talent.

In Piccolo's case, it made sense to have Furukawa voice him considering Aono's a pretty old guy. I just couldn't imagine him doing MaJunior. He doesn't have the versatility of Nozawa based of what I've heard of his other vocal performances. Than again, he does the voice of Mihawk in One Piece, so who knows?

Eh... Sabat's Popo didn't sound like he was being demeaned or made into a Poke-Sambo...
On the other hand, his "Oh, Kami!" is . . . a bit awkward. Then there's the bit in GT where Supreme Kai is dousing him and Dende with the Sacred Water. . . I think that speaks for itself (so I should probably find a youtube clip...

).

Hm. Yes. Well.

So far as natural voices go...
Whenever this comes up, I actually think of Toshio Furukawa's Piccolo, in that his delivery (not so much the voice...

) tends to strike me as eerily similar to McNeil's or Sabat's at times.

I'm fully offended by Mr. Popo in general.

No, it's not what you think. I am actually a genie.

That's for the candy industry to comment on.

What are you getting at :p

The other way around has both Piccolo's sharing a voice with Shen Long, Yamcha, Mr. Popo, Vegeta, Zarbon, and others. That door swings both ways, and at least in the Son family you can claim a genetic component (especially since they'd all count as low-class Saiyans anyway).

Oh my god, do you remember the random black lady Kuririn gets a marker from when trying to find Muten's rock in early Dragon Ball? WTF is with that design? If the show wasn't so old, I'd want to know who to call and complain.

She definitely has a nose, and her skin is a good deal lighter than her hair. Try adjusting your monitor a bit.

Dumb Macs with bright colors. I can see why Piccolo Daimao couldn't see the details on her that well.

Totally pointless post, sorry.

On the plus side at least the Funi dub gave her a normal voice, unlike the incredibly racist voice they gave to Killa.

Me and my best friend were wondering what was up with that way back when.

Will say that lady looked normal in the manga.

Yeah no idea, you'd think they'd want to avoid doing something like that. Then again they have no problem making Recoome sound like a stereotypical literal retard more and more as each new game comes out sooo....

Not quite racist is the voice matches what the character would probably sound like but literal LOL moment at the pic of Krillin and the woman.

I disagree that that's how you fully pick a voice for a character but fair enough.
