The Westwood Dragon ball Z dub was the last Dragon Ball production the company worked on as a whole in Vancouver, given it's flaws, why wouldn't I use it as an example as to how I think Ocean will improve upon with Kai's production?RazorX wrote:For some reason you seem particularly keen to overcriticise the Ocean Westwood dub. The Buu saga was certainly not "robotic" and overall was their best work.
Yes the late Buu saga episodes were the project's best work, but even with the little boost in production, it only ever archived decent results. The Word Fit flaws still stand out, voice direction, doing multiple takes to get natural line delivery, in the company's good, and great productions, Word Fit and line delivery is smooth.
With Ocean's dub of Kai, all I am hoping for is a good quality Dragon Ball dub that matches the quality of it's earlier Dragon ball productions(before Westwood), and every other quality dub the company produced over the years, I just don't want it following in the Westwood dubs messy foot steps.
I don't see why Sean would beable to see anything out of another production he has no involement, I'm not even sure the Ocean cast would even be given the oppertunity to see clips the project they themselves worked on.RazorX wrote:It doesn't make much sense for Sean to talk about certain specifics of the dub if he hadn't seen it. Perhaps he was somehow allowed to see a work in progress/beta version of episode 1..
I don't know why your putting Ocean on a pedestal, did you forget Ocean screwed the Vancouver cast, and shipped Dragon Ball GT to Blue Water? Now I'm not saying they did in fact think about doing so, but knowing how that company is, it's possible they thought about it.RazorX wrote:Ocean are too professional and organised to screw a voice actress like that. What Funimation did with Linda Young and Travis Willingham highlights incompetence, disorganisation and disregard.
Nobody really knows the company's plans, we don't have an episode production history, we don't know when they completed their first episode, if they even tried getting it on TV already, or if they are even intentionally taking their time, and producing this at proper pace.RazorX wrote:I'd say Ocean probably left Freeza's laugh undubbed in episode 1 since they didn't need to release the episodes quickly and found themselves a voice actor for Freeza in the Namek saga & had him start by dubbing the laugh in episode 1.
