The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.
It's got absolutely nothing to do with the Japanese version. Kai is pretty fucking awful overall. The Japanese voice acting is mostly emotionless, and just feels rushed when compared to the original series. Even if the pacing the better, as a show Z is just better, so if I want to watch the superior anime, I'll hit up my Dragon Boxes. I was planning to buy Kai for the dub. I wanted a dub I could be satisfied with and watch on occasion to spice things up (Dragon Ball wise). But with the inclusion of Young, I'll be passing.TheGreatness25 wrote:I saw someone say that they won't be getting the Blu-ray because Linda Young is doing Freeza? That's funny. Just like the Dragon Ball Z DVDs, if you don't like the dub, you can always switch it to the Japanese version. I'm pretty sure that getting the home release is going to be a big money saver than getting the Japanese one (especially in terms of shipping/handling, and how much more easily they are to obtain here than there). But maybe that's just me, but a home release would give more options. Subtitles, etc. But your call.
That's the point of the Kai dub, re-writes, and correcting the wrongs of the Z dub, making it more true to the original.TheGreatness25 wrote:I just hope they don't do any dialog changes.

It's one voice, and you haven't even heard speaking, just a laugh. That's premature judging of a product, for sure.Rory wrote:It's got absolutely nothing to do with the Japanese version.

Gaffer Tape wrote:Um, what? The original line is of a nondescript squabble, the Saban and Nicktoon line is, basically, "He went out with another girl!" and the uncut Kai dub is, basically, "He can date as many other girls as he wants." So what exactly is who editing? Maybe I'm just really tired at 3 in the morning, but it seems like you're misinterpreting his complaint. I understood it to read that he was annoyed at Kai in general for bastardizing Yamucha's character, rather than a slight line tweaking of that same bastardization.Metalwario64 wrote:You do realize that is a Nicktoons broadcast edit don't you? The uncut DVD version has the line properly translated.Dr. Casey wrote:Things seem fine in that respect minus Yamucha's crime going from a nondescript squabble to outright cheating
We've already had clips of the uncut dialog, and I believe Chris Sabat said there are two different audio tracks. Clearly, these wrong changes don't reflect in the uncut version.TheGreatness25 wrote:But if Nicktoons has a different dialog, it's still done under FUNimation's gaze. Like Nicktoons can't say, "I want to rewrite this line. Go call in Sean Schemmel" you know? I'm afraid that a POINTLESS (not for the sake of censoring) line change is made, that it's in the home release as well.

I don't know. That heavily implies to me that he has done (or is suspected of doing) exactly what she's saying. I doubt someone would just pull that out of their ass.ohaimynameiserik wrote:

Forgive me if I am jumping to conclusions, but I've heard Linda Young's Freeza for over a decade. I've heard potential in quite a few of FUNimation's voice actors (especially Schemmel), but Young's voice in the only one I truly despised, as it's so off the mark, it couldn't be worse if they tried. Combine this with the fact that Freeza is my favourite villain, and you have an instant dub-killer for me.Mewzard wrote:t's one voice, and you haven't even heard speaking, just a laugh.
