If an accurate re-dub surfaced, would you watch it?
In the midst of the Kai re-dub, I can't help but wonder, if a dead-on accurate re-dub of Dragon Ball Z surfaced, would any of you care enough to watch it? (whether in place of Japanese with Subs, or in conjunction)
Re: If an accurate re-dub surfaced, would you watch it?
Definitely. I really think a good dub is being wasted on Kai.

A silly question. Of course I would.

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.

I'd check it out for curiosity's sake, but I wouldn't watch it in place of the original.

Re: If an accurate re-dub surfaced, would you watch it?
I would watch it, but still would prefer the Japanese version. The main problem I have right now is Chris Sabat's Vegeta. I don't like a few of the voices Funi uses, especially Chris Sabat. He was alright earlier, but now his voice has become too hoarse.

Re: If an accurate re-dub surfaced, would you watch it?
I'm sort of past caring about the dub now, but I would definetely peek at a few episodes.
And hopefully it wouldn't mean selling my dvds yet again to afford a home release of said re-dub

A "Z" redub with the accuracy of "Kai"? Hell yeah!

Re: If an accurate re-dub surfaced, would you watch it?
I might sneak a peek at a few episodes, but I'd rather stick with the original Japanese version.

Re: If an accurate re-dub surfaced, would you watch it?
Nah, it's still Z. Original, Japanese Z with the great acting is still full of pointless fluff.
But, a renewed DB and DBGT dub without obnoxious excess talking? Hell yeah.

Re: If an accurate re-dub surfaced, would you watch it?
Well seeing as how you said "dead on accurate" I assume you don't mean a dub like Kai's. Of course I would watch something like that even though I don't care for the Z anime much. However if it was a Kai like accuracy dub I'd just stick with Kai seeing as how I like it more to begin with.

Re: If an accurate re-dub surfaced, would you watch it?
I'd probably watch it along side the Japanese version. Had this been a few years ago, when I was more into dubs and had no familiarity with the Japanese version of Dragon Ball, I would have only watched it in English, but I'm too fond of the Japanese voice cast now. Personally, I'd prefer it to be the original Dragon Ball as opposed to Z, but I'd take anything they'll throw at me. Kai's dub is great, but little things like "T ien" still bug me from time to time. Eliminate little things like that and I'd be watching Dragon Ball twice as much.
Re: If an accurate re-dub surfaced, would you watch it?
An English dub? Nah, not really. An episode or two for curiosity's sake, maybe, but not being 5 years old, I see no need for dubs.

Maybe a few episodes just to see what it is like.

Re: If an accurate re-dub surfaced, would you watch it?
This. I would probably watch one clip for curiosity's sake, go 'Not bad, glad there's a decent dub now', and then go on to never think about its existence again. I like the original Japanese version, I could respect a good English dub but it would be completely off my radar as actual viewing material.Gaffer Tape wrote:I'd check it out for curiosity's sake, but I wouldn't watch it in place of the original.

Nah, Dragon Ball Z is hard to watch dubbed for me, especially filler and dragged out scenes, I'd rather watch paint dry with Faulconer's score.

Re: If an accurate re-dub surfaced, would you watch it?
The only way I'd seriously watch the show in English is with Ocean doing the voices. With clips from Kai I've come to have a respect for the takes of some of the FUNi people and actually like some of them, but only Ocean could lure me away from the original version for any real amount of time.
