Not really since the voice doesn't stand out in any way

Was David Kaye (?) really that good as Turles?

Not really: he was pretty much the same as Brian Drummond was in the role. They were both decent fits for Yajirobe, but not THAT good, IMO.

Yes, Sean is abysmal as North Kai, and I wish some other actor would get a chance at voicing him in FUNimation's roster: Doc Morgan should've voiced him in Kai, IMO.

Not really: I actually thought she had a pretty good voice for him- what was lacking was the energy, IMO.

I think it was Ward Perry or Paul Dobson, actually (?), but I think that actor did a really good job as Turles, actually: Chris Patton, on the other hand, was okay...but felt pretty generic in the role.

Was Justin Cook really that good as Raditz?

No, he's too over the top stereotypically evil. Cook's awful acting doesn't help matters.


Was Cook really that good as Super Buu?

It was Ward Perry. And yes he was.

He gave Turles this raspy, almost feminine sounding voice which was much closer to the spirit of Masako Nozawa, unlike Chris Patton who makes the character sound like another generic anime villain.

It's a high voice, but it's still unmistakably masculine. He plays up the arrogant and sinister aspects of Tullece.

I think Ward Perry was the guy who wrote the first three DBZ movies.

I would say no. Don Brown always sounded very garbled and from what I can tell the voice is basically the same as his ridiculous Kibito voice if you take away the filter. I wish Ocean had used Doug Parker like in their dub of DB. He was fine.

Was Ted Cole really that good as Yamcha?

I dug Cole as Yamcha. It's probably cooler than Yamcha deserved, but Cole can sound sufficiently goofy when the situation calls for it.

Yes. God yes. As far as casting and directing go, it's on par with Young's Freeza, and the only reason I don't consider it as bad is because Recoome's not on the show as long.

No. Can't stand his "Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!" delivery at all.

Kara was good as Videl: not spectacular, but she did a good job as the character, IMO.

Yes, he is atrocious as Recoome: I don't know why Chris voices him like a mentally challenged or disabled person.

Liebrecht's Jeice was decent but I ultimate preferred Sabat's "Space Australian" interpretation of Jeice. I just found it more charming. I guess you can chalk that one down to nostalgia somewhat.

It was Jeice at his best acted but the voice wasn't anything too memorable. We've never gotten the perfect Jeice in English yet.

Was Linda Young really that bad...just kidding. Yes. Yes she was.

Now then, was John Swasey really that good as Dodoria?

I liked his Gohan myself: sounded like a polite, calm young man most of the time, but Kyle was also able to show smugness and over-confidence when Gohan unlocked his potential in the fight against Super Buu. MUCH better than his Narrator voice, at any rate.

He was pretty good actually since he sounded more like a military elite than the rest.

I thought the same, and added a bit of humor to his take: Phil Parsons was good, too, but Michael Dobson made Nappa a little more enjoyable to me.

Sean was TERRIBLE when he started out as Goku (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGy5FMKTRDE), but now, Sean's my favorite Goku- he's grown tremendously over the years in the role, IMO (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVnEC4MilxY).

NO. he is monotone, bland and doesnt sound like the character unless if he was a human version like what you would see on Deviantart.
