I liked this episode very much and it is such an improvement. Ayers laugh was great, it isn't just a chuckle "hohohoho" in this one. It is a full-blown laugh. Niceeee.

Best line of the episode:

Freeza: "You're dangerously close to making me angry"

Goku: "That makes two of us"... oh shit. They is abouts to knuckle up (grammar mistakes intentional).
"It just says dear Freeza... and then theres a picture of a butt"

I can't believe Kai kept the damn Ginyû Frog filler :/

Was it really that hard to edit around it?

On a different note, the dub for this episode was excellent. The animation, on the other hand, was horrendous.

I don't see the big deal about the Ginyu filler, It gave Bulma a little more to do and Kai made it not outlast it's welcome.

Yeah, that was in Z aswell. T'was an animation error.

You would think they would recolor it, considering what they did to "pre takeoff to Earth" Vegeta.
But who knows? they probably didn't think it would matter that much.

I think its more likely that it wasn't noticed.

They have been pretty damn good about correcting animation errors from 'z'.
Even down to re-adding the Capsule Corp logo to Trunks jacket, that 'z' seemed to miss off with astounding regularity.

I dunno... Peter Kelamis did some pretty crazy, Nozawa-like screams in the dubs of movies 1-3.

Yeah like his Kaioken scream from movie 2 starting at 1:52.

A few Nozawa like scream imitations hardly make him a good English Goku in my book. I really can't stand his surfer/Christopher Walken hybrid speech inflections.

Frieza knows Bardock's name? Since when was this?

I don't hear any of that. I hear some Rob Paulson-imitating, though.

As for tonight's episode, I have much the same opinion as yesterday's. Chris Ayres is doing well, but with Sean Schemmel, it depends on the scene. Very inconsistent. I thought he did better work when he fought Ginyu.

Monica Rial's Bulma is great.

He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

Is it just me, or FUNI slipping in a lot more slang/libertys into the dialogue since the Goku and Freeza fight began?

I bet most of it is TV version only lines.

I noticed that too. What was up with that blue eye right before Freeza elbowed Goku? I don't remember ever seeing that before.
