I think so. It didn't sound like the previous take on the character. Its higher.Kendamu wrote:Did Gohan sound like *gasp* a small child?

I so hope stops imitating Clarke's Cell. I know he was a big fan when he watched the series in college, but it'd be for the best.Metalwario64 wrote:Looks like Travis Willingham will voice Cell in Dragon Ball Z Kai according to his official site (click on "Voicework").
She/Her That's one of my major problems with the original Season 3 FUNimation dub. Most of the actors were trying to copy the Ocean cast to an extent rather than make the roles their own. Eventually, they've kinda taken the roles and made them their own, and even if I don't like all of them, I can definitely see a huge improvement once they started doing their own versions.JulieYBM wrote:I so hope stops imitating Clarke's Cell.

We all did, but he's not voice acting, anymore.Piccolo Daimaoh wrote:I absolutely loved Clarke's Perfect Cell.

No we didn't. He was a mediocre Cell at best.fig404 wrote:We all didPiccolo Daimaoh wrote:I absolutely loved Clarke's Perfect Cell.

Yeah, but you're the type who thinks that Saban cuts and Kai cuts are pretty much the same thing. That says a lot about what yous standards.penguintruth wrote:No we didn't. He was a mediocre Cell at best.fig404 wrote:We all didPiccolo Daimaoh wrote:I absolutely loved Clarke's Perfect Cell.
Can't hold a candle to Norio Wakamoto. But then, nobody really can.
Because those two things are so similar a discussion, amirite?Kendamu wrote:Yeah, but you're the type who thinks that Saban cuts and Kai cuts are pretty much the same thing. That says a lot about what yous standards.

It's another example of how high your standards are for Dragonball. That's how it's relevant.penguintruth wrote:Because those two things are so similar a discussion, amirite?Kendamu wrote:Yeah, but you're the type who thinks that Saban cuts and Kai cuts are pretty much the same thing.

Also, yeah, they are pretty much the same thing. Still keeping in a bit of blood here and there doesn't make it that much better.

But, put together, it has to do with the entire presentation of the show! For example, I like the way Bulma sounds better in Z than I do Kai, so that drags Kai down a little bit. On the other hand, I like how Kai flows better than I do Z, so that drags Z down some.penguintruth wrote:Standards for cutting/censorship are a different standard than voice acting altogether.
Calling the Saban-ized DBZ dub and Kai the same thing is like calling the Orange Bricks and the Dragonbox the same thing when they're clearly not. You're ignoring obvious differences in the products (many of which I listed in this thread) to prop up your idea that it's hypocritical to hate Saban's cuts (for censorship) but like Kai's cuts (to deliberately make it closer to the manga). Yes, there is actual censorship in Kai and I don't like it. At least I'll admit the faults in what I like rather than blatantly ignoring things just to make what I don't like sound worse.But while we're on it, Saban cut out a lot of filler, too! You should be thanking them for cutting out all that stuff, it made the show flow so much better, am I right?
Alright, fine. Where would be a good thread to take this?Kaboom wrote:Not what the thread is about, please. We're on the verge of seeing something good; let's not spoil it by dragging things down before we even get a chance.
