Penguintruth, despite being very rude about it you are right and have made me agree with youpenguintruth wrote:What's to dislike about the Japanese version? Aside from some of the VAs losing a step or two by the time Kai came out, the overuse of some Kikuchi tracks late in DBZ, and spoilerrific episode titles now and then? Other than those minor gripes, it's nearly perfect, in the sense that it conveys the story and characters expertly. I guess you can make an argument for the presence of filler, but that has less to do with the version's acting or music and more to do with the animation itself. It's out of the hands of the performers and composers.
The English dub, as has been established, is poorly written tripe with large swaths of completely invented dialogue that only has the bare bones to do with the intended meaning of scenes, and of course the horrifically terrible acting that plagued most of the entirety of its existence. People were actually paid money to just completely ignore the established characterizations in the original show and write a lot of stupid bullcrap that mischaracterized and defamed the players in the plot both in word and tone, obviously and clearly deliberately by a group of people who almost seemed to have an actual disdain for the material. The casting was done on the cheap, employing rank amateurs who sounded like random people they pulled off a street, many of whom barely improved over a decade's time and yet command thousands of fans who will not only defend their terrible acting but actually hound you endlessly if you dare criticize them. If I could somehow literally spit on the English dub itself, I would. It's an abomination.
The Japanese version of DB/Z is the actual show(s). The English version is some pale shadow.
DBZ's English Dub is anything but DBZ it's a bastardized merican' adaption with a main character that seems closer to Superman than a guy who loves fighting for fun. There is music and diologe that are unnecessary, jokes that are not funny & actors that pale in comparison to the Japanese version. It's not 4Kids or Sentai Filmworks like skiping entire seasons (pretty close on to the latter though). The American Score (I refuse to credit just Falconeer) is fun to listen to alone but is horrible for the show.
But If there is one thing I hate it's reading a show, I like listing to it as I do something else which is impossible to do with subtitles, I also prefer watching a show in a language I know fully know. And My nostalgia boils whenever I watch the Cell Games & Buu Arcs.
But my nostalgia does not blind me to the horrible product that is the English Dub of DBZ And how superior the Japanese Product is.......
But Kai with Yamamoto score is the best Just my opinion and I will argue it to my grave.
Love 'em! Feels like an old classic action movie. "He's toast...Yeah Burnt Toast" 
CLASSIC!
