This.

Also Kid Buu's death was more epic to me in the dub, but I saw that first so I probably don't have the same appreciation.

Goku's SSJ3 transformation. Pretty much the only piece of dub music that I actually like.

I like lot of american music from Dragon Ball, but only to listen, because in my opinion it's bad arranged in the series and I'm annoyed that there aren't any silent places between tracks, there is still playing goulash of music over and over

That's how I feel about the score.

Agreed. Also preferred Cell's death in English. Ginyu Transformation playing sounded really great there.

And while due to condensing, I preferred that Raditz told them about Nappa and Vegeta being stronger than him in his last breath. Gave more of an "Aw crap!" feeling.

The Dub fails everything.

Prove me wrong!

Schemmel's SSJ3 powerup scream in movie 12.

Also Dub Goku isn't as much of a horrible person as original Goku.

The dub didn't really do MUCH better IMO...

Chris Rager was really awesome as Mark. Seriously, when I found out he was gonna play Arlong in One Piece I jumped with joy, he's really great...

There really isn't much else to be honest... I suppose now that we have the bricks with the Japanese Music track, the Dub had the advantage that it's mixed in 5.1. Quality much better than the Mono Japanese... But really, I don't like the Dub's tendency to ALWAYS have music playing in the "Original Broadcast" Music track, even when it was DEAD SILENT in Japanese. Those scenes really build tension.

... I guess looking at this from a Dub fan's perspective, Son never "Sounds like a Girl" in English, so for some people I can see that being a plus (Not for me)

And you know what, Cyborg 18 had a pretty good voice, as did 17. And I hated the Baby-talk dialog they gave Boo, but his base Voice was actually pretty good.

And I agree with all the Babidi Love, he was great.

And there was ONE Ad-Lib in The Kid Boo arc I actually thought was funny. It was REALLY DUMB, but it just seemed kinda In-character for Son to say.

When they get out of Boo's innards, and everyone starts popping back to their normal size, they Ad-libbed in Son saying "Hey Look Vegeta, People-Popcorn!" to which Vegeta replies "Oh Shut up!"
Shoot me if you must, I found this Ad-lib amusing and somewhat in-character for Son which is a trait of his the Dub doesn't always highlight.
His Innocent Childlike quality. That's certainly something a little kid would say.

Actually, Vegeta said, "what is he on?"

But I agree. That's one of my all-time favorite dub moments, and it's mostly because it's an added-on line that's actually in-character for Goku.

Hands down...

Vegeta's fisrt SSJ transformation. Why? because of the my favorite dub soundtrack that I loved since playing LOG II

And Damon Clarck's first form Cell

Vegeta turning SSJ in front of Android 19 is better in the dub. Better music, and Sabat belts out one of his best screams.

Maybe the Final Flash scene also, mainly because of the music. Also Cell's death was handled well.

Don't forget the totally adult lines, totally mature, not for kids, VEGETA SAYS PISS! OMG!

In comparison to actors, Ocean did a better job than Funimation.

Better Cell, better Satan, better Gohan, better Goten, Trunks, and especially Vegeta and Piccolo, but both dubs suffer from a severe case of suck.

With Vegeta and Piccolo I could perhaps understand, but with all those other characters? I dunno, I remember those voices on Toonami in this country, and then on YouTube...they were beyond dreadful, IMO. Worse than FUNi's Season 3.

It's confusing when you mix jokes with seriouses in the same list. People would probably take the whole thing as one or the other.

Probably one of the best scenes in the dub, in my opinion.

The Ginyu Force was so much better in both dubs.
