"Ginyu Force, go! Ginyu Force, go!" sounds more natural and fits notes better.penguintruth wrote:"GO, GINYU FORCE! GO, GINYU FORCE!" is the same amount of syllables as "TOKUSENTAI! TOKUSENTAI!"
It should be "Geee-nyu", not "Giiiin-yu". Can FUNi please pronounce Ginyu correctly this time?B wrote:Toooo-ku-sen-tai!

Easy. Make it happen.

Langenscheidt Pocket Japanese Dictionary wrote:Japanese has five basic vowels, usually referred to as short vowels. Which are romanized as a, i, u, e, and o. these are pronounced approximately like the "a" in "father," the "ee" in "feet," the "oo" in "mood," the "e" in "met," and the "o" in "fort," respectively. they are all pronounced in a relatively short, clipped manner in contrast to the so-called long vowels, which are produced by drawing out the sound of short vowels to approximately twice their normal length. In the hepburn system, the long vowels corresponding to ā, ū, and ō. The hepburn system writes the long vowels for i and e in two ways: in words borrowed from languages other then Chinese, they are written with a macron as ī and ē; otherwise they are written as ii and ei, respectively. (The actual pronunciation of ē, or ei, varies considerably: some speakers pronounce it as an elongation of the short vowel e, others as a sequence of the short vowels e and i.)

Wait. I think you're confused.Puto wrote:I wasn't aware that "begin" and "bring" had different i sounds to begin with. I mean, I think some people pronounce it "breng", but I was under the idea that "bring" was the normal pronounciation.
Agreed. Although FUNi really won't be bothered to change it.MR.Mark wrote:Ginyu, Geenyu, sounds almost exactly the same when pronounced fast anyway.
I'd RATHER they pronounce it correctly, but it's not even a small problem if they don't. I'd just like accurate representation.Piccolo Daimaoh wrote:Agreed. Although FUNi really won't be bothered to change it.MR.Mark wrote:Ginyu, Geenyu, sounds almost exactly the same when pronounced fast anyway.

Sorry. You'd think with myself reacting the same way I'd be able to mention it. Then again, maybe I just block it out every time I stop hearing it?Gaffer Tape wrote:Aaarrgghh! Why didn't you warn me Kaio was in this episode? I know I should have seen it coming, but that hideous voice takes me by surprise every time. Makes me want to vomit! I guess I'm too used to Yanami for this, but I honestly did scream in shock when, after I was minding my own business watching Goku train, that bloated high-pitched lard voice appeared out of the aether!

Kentai wrote:Son Gokuu is a fascinating character anyway, because he is - at face value, anyway - an idiot savant. The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. 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.
It sounded fine to me. The only thing that stood out to me was his "Yo! Goku!" and when he said "dude!" once, but those were just the script and wasn't nearly as bad as "Yo dude! You da bomb!". He didn't sound surfer at all when he delivered those lines, and there isn't really anything wrong with saying dude, since it's still a somewhat relevant term in modern dialect at least, as opposed to "da bomb!" and "mondo cool!".penguintruth wrote:What the hell happened to Sabat's Yamucha in this episode?

Yamcha certainly didn't have any dumb lines, but he had lost his surfer accent in the Saiyan Arc. Now he has it again.Metalwario64 wrote:It sounded fine to me.

I also love how Goku said "If I wanna be strong enough to take on... whats-his-name, then I'm gonna hav'ta train harder!".
I just looked on DB Wiki (okay, not the best place) and it says that Enel (J. Michael Tatum) is doing his voice. Is that true?Gaffer Tape wrote:I do have to say that Zarbon's new voice is full of sexy. Much better than what came before.

I warned you about judging his Yamucha early.penguintruth wrote:What the hell happened to Sabat's Yamucha in this episode? It was almost as bad as in Z again.
Still I wouldn't say it was that bad, though I wasn't very impressed either. Why did Sabat even bother to keep Yamucha for Kai? With all the filler cut out there's little the character does anyway, meh, they should of recast with an actor that had a Ted Cole quality to his voice.
Fully agreed, Sean captured the spirit of the original performance there for sure.Mewzard wrote:I loved how excited Goku sounded when he talked with the others, so child-like and enthusiastic.
