Times when you've preferred the dub music

Post by DHM211 » Thu Jul 19, 2012 4:49 pm

This has to be a scecn where I prefer the dub music over the Japanese music. Are there any times you prefer the dub music?

Pretty much always in Z & never in GT. Don't really have a choice in DB or Kai.

I recall the episode where Gohan kills Cell as one with unusually good music placement for the dub (that particular episode was actually uncharacteristically very well-done on the acting and writing fronts as well). I still prefer Kikuchi overall for that episode, though...and I vastly prefer the Kikuchi score for DB and DBZ.
A "rather haggard" translation of a line from Future Gohan in DBZ, provided to FUNimation by Toei:
"To think of fighting that is this fun...so, it was pleasant fight, as many as, therefore is a feeling which is good the fight where."

And even though I have not seen actually seen the Japanese version of these scenes, I really do the Japanese version would be hard pressed to top the dub music in them...

To be brutally honest, I actually enjoy the dub music in the Buu Saga far more than Kikuchi.

Everything else before Buu I tend to listen to one or the other depending on what I'm watching.

GT is crap for both.

That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation. But ultimately I have to ask myself "What is the true meaning of being perfect?" and the answer I came up with was nothing. Not one thing. The truth of the matter is I despise perfection! If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

Whenever Vegeta is doing his thing in where 'Hell's Bells' plays, when N**** Buu became Super Buu, and when Super Buu killed the fat gunman. Otherwise I prefer the fully orchestrated bliss of Shunsuke Kikuchi.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

When Goku destroys Buu. There's just something I personally feel that the dub music fits better in that scene. That and I wasn't too keen on the choral arrangement. Something similar is while I like the Ewok song at the end of Return of the Jedi, I feel the muic that plays during the 1997 re-release is a more fitting end to the saga.

The Super Saiyan 3 Goku theme was pretty sweet.

-Episodes 1-67
-Cell's death
-When Cell was going after the sister and brother at the airport

There is a lot more scenes I prefer the dub music but my list was my top 3.

I'll have to lump myself in with this statement.

I clicked on some of the links above to give some of it another shot since it's been so long since I've heard any of it - but I couldn't make it through since all of it was so bad (the voice acting, the music,...). I found myself laughing at the Piccolo and Kami fusion...

I guess if I HAD to pick one scene, it would be this one:

Although it is important to note that the original has no music in this scene. Just voices and sound effects.

So you're saying that there is not one instance where you liked the dub music over the original? Come on, I know you hate the dub but there has got to be at least one scene that you really like the dub music in.

I'm sorry, preferring the dub music in movies 1 and 9 is just... I know opinions can't be wrong, but yours comes the closest. Kikuchi is at his strongest in those two movies. The suites for those two movies are breathtaking masterpieces.

Of the few scenes I liked the dub music in (mostly the Ginyu body swap music), I have still never preferred that to the Japanese music.

Love your avatar, btw, Greed was my favorite FMA character.

Ah, "Ginyu Transformation", a great Faulconer track.

/offtopic Yeah Greed is my favorite too, it's a shame they didn't have Chris Patton voice Greed 2 but I completely understand why they changed the voice actor.
