Hey, I bought most of the CD's....anyway, this is exactly how I feel, it really has nothing to do with Dub Vs.JP with me....Chibi Mystic Gohan wrote:Yeah, because Faulconer's CDs sell so ridiculously well, right?Great Saiyaman wrote:You don't need to be 12 to enjoy good music.
Seriously, any non dub loving person can tell you that that crap isn't real music. Heck, my dad's made fun of it before (no, I don't watch the dub, but my brother enjoys it).
DragonBall (Pre-Z)- The music is very suiting for the series cause most of DB is a more light-hearted fighting adventure about martial artists. The music really does set the tone. But you're probably thinking I only feel this way because the Dub did not change the music. But that's simply not true....once it gets up to King Piccolo, I dislike the music, the tone of DB changes vastly from the light-hearted fighting action series to a series about saving all of man-kind from maniacal demons & being heroes. Yet the tone of the music does not change to suit this dramatic change in Genre. Yes I do relize technecally the Genre was not changed, but c'mon, Pre-King Piccolo is far different from everything beyond.
DragonBall Z- The JP did a very nice job making Opening & Ending themes...in addition, any Vocal BGM was always well done & well placed IMO. However the laxer tone to the music does not represent this fight for the universe that is going on. Regardless of how well put together it, that doesn't mean it belongs. When it comes to the DBZ Dub, I am not a fan of Dub music specifically, I am a fan of Faulconer...his music was always able to well represent what was going on. Take Perfect Cell's theme...eerie, just like him. Or Z-Sword/Mystic Gohan's Theme, perfectly made music to set the tone of awakening for Gohan. However I disliked the Ocean Dub music, boring & hardly there. The Re-Dub, I'm not even positive if Faulconer did it, but I didn't like it all...I was kinda 50/50 on it. Some stuff was good, like Goku's Theme music, but other just sucked, not actiony enough.
GT- Um...well...yeah...it's GT.
