The carnival music playing during #19's fight and Goku going forward and backwards on the Serpentine Road having a banjo playing and rewinding.Piccolo Daimaoh wrote:The American music was specifically made for a certain scene and doesn't feel "slapped on" like the Japanese music.
As I said, the American music isn't perfect nor is the Japanese music. To say that either version is perfect and flawless is ignorant.Tsukento wrote:The carnival music playing during #19's fight and Goku going forward and backwards on the Serpentine Road having a banjo playing and rewinding.Piccolo Daimaoh wrote:The American music was specifically made for a certain scene and doesn't feel "slapped on" like the Japanese music.
Those always stuck out as major "What the hell?" moments in the dub's music.
Lol, that reverse idea was hilarious ^^ I remember getting a kick out of that my last week at the studio. Cmon lighten up. That was a silly scene and the fw backward thing was genius I thought XDTsukento wrote:The carnival music playing during #19's fight and Goku going forward and backwards on the Serpentine Road having a banjo playing and rewinding.Piccolo Daimaoh wrote:The American music was specifically made for a certain scene and doesn't feel "slapped on" like the Japanese music.

Erm...outside of appearance I don't see how he was a clown. He's as much of a clown as Chiaotzu I suppose.cRookie_Monster wrote: 19 was a clown, carnival music doesn't seem out of place for him to me.

If "Faulconer's" music had been used in the "Ultimate Uncut" dub, then they would have used the circus theme for Chiaotzu's death!Blue wrote:Erm...outside of appearance I don't see how he was a clown. He's as much of a clown as Chiaotzu I suppose.
It's like you're saying if you like Faulconer, you're a dumbass but if you like the original Japanese BGM, you're a weeaboo.Piccolo Daimaoh wrote: In terms of which score is better, I'm not: "OMG TEKNO ROCK MUZIK HARDCORE" or: "GLORIOUS NIPPON MUZIK DESU". I'm sort of in the middle and undecided.

Exactly. That's why it's my favorite anime. I'm a huge fan of the old skool kung fu movie genre.The Time Traveller wrote:If only Dragon Ball Z was old, cheesy and had martial arts...mystic trunks wrote:It sounds like an old cheesy martial arts film.
I is confused... Do you mean Kami or Kame-Sen'nin? Or perhaps you're just talking about Turtle.cRookie_Monster wrote:I believe it was written back in the Garlic Jr Saga when Kame was telling his back story. Errr...welll it was definitely Kame telling his back story, probably Garlic Jr saga...
It's been a million years since I've seen that story arc, so I have no idea what the back story that you're talking about even is.

Well some of the music sounds like it should be in Death Note, so all the songs like that are too serious and "hardcore".cRookie_Monster wrote:One of the biggest complaints I hear you guys make is that the Faulconer Productions dub takes itself too seriously and is always trying to be hardcore....then you can't take it when it lightens up and gets silly along with the show's sillyness.
Wasn't I just wathing Kid Buu's death scene accompanied by a baby lullaby?? Fact is DBZ is a weird quirky show in addition to being an action cartoon. It's what gives it character and keeps it relevant to it's DB roots.
Exactly the same here, although I didn't mind the happy/silly songs that we had like Grand Kai Blues because I think they portrayed the characters well (from what they appeared like in the dub anyway).linkdude20002001 wrote:I do like a lot of the songs from the dub, but there's just as many that I can't stand.
I...still don't see how he's a clown outside of the voice you guys gave him. Unless anyone with a white face is a clown, which would include Freeza, Perfect Cell and Chiaotzu.cRookie_Monster wrote: #19 was a clown, and even had silly clown voice in the dub.
When on Earth did this happen? I've been lurking here for awhile and I've never seen this said. The closest thing I've heard to that is people being exasperated with Vegeta's overuse of the term "clown".jjgp1112 wrote:Oh yeah, believe me, some of the contradictions from the dub critics are kinda annoying.

As for the running up and down snake way thing It just wasn't "hilarious" to me, I wasn't doubting the scene was silly.

Freeza, Cell and Chiaotzu all have pointy things on their heads too. (Well okay Chiaotzu has a puffball but still.) Everyone and everything is brightly colored, it's Dragon Ball!cRookie_Monster wrote:The pointy thing on his head?

Did the back and forth scene make you laugh with the Japanese music?

What's also weird is that a lot of people compare dub Goku to Superman. Goku is way less serious than Superman. Sure, dub Goku has his Superman like moments that aren't present in the original, but both versions have the same, silly Goku that we all love.jjgp1112 wrote:Oh yeah, believe me, some of the contradictions from the dub critics are kinda annoying.

Sillyness doesn't matter. They completely changed his motivation from "guy who likes to fight" to some sort of champion of justice. I think that's all people are talking about.Piccolo Daimaoh wrote:What's also weird is that a lot of people compare dub Goku to Superman. Goku is way less serious than Superman.

Well he is a bit more like a superhero who fights for justice in the dub, but it's pretty much the same Goku who likes to fight in both versions.Bussani wrote:Sillyness doesn't matter.
