Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" Dub Turns 16; Still Unreleased

[NeoKING]

I love how Blue Water is utter-fail yet GREAT actors such as Zoe Slusar, the ones who did Trunks, Pan, Myü, are overlooked. It seems like they took the "Portray your characters" and not the "Imitate the JP actors!!!" route.

[JulieYBM]

Mu's actor voices a dozen other characters in the dub, not to mentioned had a 'generic old man voice from a younger man'. Slusar's voice is just as grating as Nadolny's, Pan's was a child actor only sometimes being decently directed, and Erickson's Trunks was merely decent. I'd venture to say Erickson's Trunks would've been better had he not been surrounded with worse actors.

Some times I wish I never ditched that VA Criticism class, because then I'd have a bunch of jargon to back up my opinion besides "I don't mind them."

Then don't complain about others' opinions.

Yikes, point taken.

The voices themselves are okay, it's just the acting is sub-par (which isn't surprising for Blue Water).

[Daimo-Rukiri]

Do you mean voice-wise or acting-wise? 'Cause I thought they had some really good voices. Gokuh and Pan sounded much better in the Westwood dub than in the FUNi dub.

Listen to any of the Shadow Dragons, Vegeta(ugh...bad bad bad) etc. Yes Goku, and pan were better. But it still wasn't all that great, I honestly couldn't stand DBs kid goku period.

[linkdude20002001]

Well I haven't seen that far into DBGT in any language; it's just too awful. >_<

And I actually liked Slusar's Young Goku. And Bulma was great.

[Attitudefan]

Is there any voice actor out there able to imitate Drummond's Vegeta really, really well? I have not seen someone able to do it, it ends up sounding like Sabat's try at it.

[Daimo-Rukiri]

Is it really that hard for someone to do ryo?

[gotensottile]

Uhhh...SkitzZero can!

[Attitudefan]

They could for Ryo because it's different. I'm talking about Vegeta.

SkitzZero huh? Well is there an example of his talent?

[Piccolo Daimaoh]

Ryo Horikawa. Vegeta's Japanese voice actor.

Wait a sec... Drummond was Vegeta and so was Horikawa....
That is way too awesome!

[Daimo-Rukiri]

Sorry, but Drummon was no where near Horikawa's performance. I'm sure they have someone who can actually do it.

[Attitudefan]

Well I like Drummond, and that's all that matters to me. Oh yeah, you spelt his name wrong.

[Deimos]

I liked Drummond and McNeil as Vegeta and Piccolo. I'm assuming no other news has come up regarding Ocean and Kai? It has been a while...

[linkdude20002001]

While I prefer Drummond's Vegeta to Sabat's, I don't especially like Drummond's Vegeta. He made Vegeta sound like a mentally unstable psychopath full of wild rage that he can't keep contained. Vegeta is supposed to be cool-headed and obstinate. I really hope they keep Drummond as Vegeta, because I know he could pull off the real Vegeta. I'm not worried though, 'cause if they do keep Drummond, they'll likely give him different direction. I really wish I knew what company got the licence...

[Attitudefan]

be cool-headed and obstinate.

You sure?


He was cool and collected until Goku kicked his ass, then he was just a crazy obsessed psycho.

Put it this way, bad company = bad dub period.
If westwood media get's this again as I honestly can't think of 1 company other than AB Group, Viz, or Westwood media. I'm more concerned with the music as well we may have confirmation that it was changed.. which is bad for todays standards.

This project sounds nothing more than anything serious, it's probably just going through to shut people up.

Or it could be the best thing ever, but until we know what company got the rights or if this even real at all I have to assume the worst.
