Re: The Best Dragon Ball dub?
i like funimations dub, i think most of the voice actors are fitting the character perfectly. i didnt hear that many other dubs, but furiza from the japanese dub sounds even better than funimations in my opinion.

Also, I recomend to you to see one of the dub comparisons I have posted here in the topic, in the first posts.

Re: The Best Dragon Ball dub?
Anyone knows if there is a finnish dub? I want to know that.
Probably it there is, it would be a medium acted work with a bad translation based in the french one. But I want to know if there is.

So it was the same thing that happened in Netherlands.sangofe wrote:As far as I know, they just aired the english dub with finnish subs.SaintEvolution wrote:Anyone knows if there is a finnish dub? I want to know that.

Also, I had saw some clips from the Valencian dub, and it's a great dub in acting. The scripts are from the French version, but in acting, it's better than the spanish and other european dubs. It's a lame that they didn't did the Buu arc, or Kai, or Battle of Gods. It would sounds awesome their acting with an accurate translation.

Re: The Best Dragon Ball dub?
I've never seen the point in airing the English dub with subs in non-English-speaking countries.
If the series is aired subtitled and not dubbed, I don't see why the audio track should be any other than the original Japanese.

Getting somebody who can translate English is a lot cheaper than somebody who can translate Japanese.

That's true, but I thought Toei handed English scripts translated by themselves...Puto wrote:Getting somebody who can translate English is a lot cheaper than somebody who can translate Japanese.

Also, Toei's old scripts(english or not) were horrible, with examples the original french dub(and other european dubs) or the malaysian english one.UltimateHammerBro wrote:That's true, but I thought Toei handed English scripts translated by themselves...Puto wrote:Getting somebody who can translate English is a lot cheaper than somebody who can translate Japanese.

I'm very happy with the French dbz Kai dub.SaintEvolution wrote: Sat Jun 13, 2015 9:52 pm I'm counting dubs for all the productions, TV series, OVA, Movies and the rest. In aspects like acting, mixing, translation, lip sync and all of that.
I think some of the asian dubs are very good, cause they are close to the original in the dialogues, and have good acting, for example, the cantonese or the korean dubs. The German dub for example have a pretty acting, but the translation was took by the french dub, that has horrible and lazy dialogues.
And there are many dubs that are not so commented too, like the indonesian(I only find 2 videos of indonesian DBZ), albanian, mandarin, and a few more.
Anyway, what dubs do you guys think that are the best ones? And you can say the ones you think are the worse too.
Yeah man. Danish Goku has to be the best dub Goku I've heard. Same with freeza. Gohan and Kuririn are great too, in my opinion.DragonDuck wrote: Sun Jun 14, 2015 5:46 pm While not the very best, the Danish dub deserves mention. It's a great dub with very nice, well-flowing translation (even though it used the French dub as a base), passable to great acting and good mixing. While there are some bad voices like Vegeta's and Karin's (Had a female voice even though he is male), it's good in my opinion. Well … the very best? That'd have to be the Korean DB dub. They really nailed that one, it looks like
Wow. That had some good voices and acting.Hugo2003DBZ wrote: Mon Dec 16, 2019 9:05 pm The best Dragon Ball dub? Obviously, the galician dub![]()

They changed it from Chichi to Leche because Chichi in Spanish is slang for breastSaintEvolution wrote: Sat Jun 13, 2015 10:36 pm Besides some of the asian dubs that are great, the south americans(brazilian and latin american) are very good too.
The negative points of the original latin american dub are the lip sync in some times and the voice recording sounded a bit poor for me. Some voices aren't that great, like Cell, Vegeta and a few more. The translation is accurate but I only don't like some names they changed like "Milk"(Chichi) for example. But in most of aspects is a very good dub.
About the original brazilian Z dub(not considering the 1st Dragon Ball, that had...4 or 5 dubs in Brazil. Yeah, I'm not joking; I'm only talking about Z now), it's a good dub too. I think it's almost tied with the latin american spanish dub(I can't decide what dub is exactly the best between them). It is a great dub.
For Kai Brazil and Latin American didn't have the same lucky, for reasons that are known for most of you guys I think. But thanking god, the original casts of these 2 versions returned in the newer movies.

Re: The Best Dragon Ball dub?
Would have to be either Funi Kai or the Pioneer trilogy featuring the Ocean cast. While both have their flaws they are pretty much the best English adaptations of any Dragon Ball content we ever had. I'm also fond of both the Texas and Vancouver casts so never like having to choose.
Do you have any info about international non-English broadcasts about the Dragon Ball anime or manga translations/editions? Please message me. Researching for a future book with Dragon Ball scholar Derek Padula
