It would likely be better if they just reanimated it, but so much shit is awkwardly placed. I mean, you don't just put something like Vegeta escaping the battle in the first 5 minutes of an episode. Or having Vegeta get hit by the spirit bomb and Gohan turning into an ape and crushing Vegeta at the end in the same episode. Ugh. And it's been so long since I've watched Kai, I forgot how much Bulma and Gohan's voices suck. Oh well, it was only 30 bucks, who gives a shit.
Y'know... people wouldn't call nostalgia bullshit on you so often if it wasn't for the coincidence that the only voices you seem to criticize are just the new ones.
I completely agree. To everyone else, it just seems that you're too attached to the voices you know from the DBZ dub. Especially when you say that the
acting of the new voice actors is poor. If you're one to criticise bad acting, how can you even watch the DBZ dub...?
(Also, the replacement voices are all three seasoned anime voice actors, very popular with fans. The old voice actors barely found work outside of DBZ. In fact, aside from Linda Young in Yu Yu Hakusho, I don't remember them in any other anime. Probably because they couldn't
act!)
<_< You do realize that Sabat (Vegeta/Piccolo/Etc) voiced Kuwabara and John Burgmeier (Tenshinhan) voiced Kurama? Justin Cook (Yusuke) also later went to voice Raditz in the redub. That's just in your example alone. I will admit that several of the VAs never ended up being in much of anything, but a decent amount of the main cast went on to other anime.
Schemmel did Berserk, Shaman King, Blue Gender, Yu Yu Hakusho (Surprise?), Yu-Gi-Oh! (roles in the original, GX, and 5Ds), and directed Berserk, Ah, My Goddess!, and Samurai Deeper Kyo (there were other roles, but I'm not as well versed in the other anime).
Chris Ayres, the more I hear his work as Freeza, shows himself as the perfect voice choice. He's portrayed the proper and polite Freeza well, next to the building rage as his goal is constantly being foiled. I just hope he can pull of Freeza's other forms and his anger at how far he's pushed from the Saiyans/Piccolo.
And even the first Transformers movie wasn't that good, but I digress.
We're nearing up on the fight with Freeza. Is there any scene you're looking forward to in the redub? Personally, I'm looking forward to the Goku vs Freeza fight. Specifically post-SSJ, but really, this is what I've been waiting for. It's something I've wanted to be redubbed for a while now. Season Three's area needed it, but I've specifically wanted to see this scene in English with the right script. No more Hope of the Universe/Creature of the Night stuff (<_<), no Vegeta being forced to be a douche, just Legends and Pride.
I haven't been this excited since I read Jack Kirby's Fourth World for the first time (Kirby's art is awesome, and I loved seeing Darkseid in his original stories). As a kid, I enjoyed the fight. I first saw it edited dub, then uncut dub, then I read it in the manga, then I saw it uncut in Japanese. Now, all I need is accurate script dub, and I'll be satisfied. So, as long as we don't get Season Three Goku dialog added in, the script doesn't explode in horribleness, and the actors don't forget how to act, I will be happy with it.
I've started to really like Vic Mignogna's rendition of it, and think that when he goes into the "Don't stop! Don't stop!" line, that it's the best sounding of all three but it didn't make your cut. Damn it! Good video anyway
