It is possible for different voices to be great or even better. I would most likely hate Goku’s jpn voice even if that was the one I heard first…same goes for teen/adult Gohan. Dude was about 18 or so and sounded like a 4 year old japanese girl…get outta here with that.
no offense i don’t see how the dub suffers when they stop showing dragonball. on tv
I used to think Dragon Ball was good until I started watching real anime.
You don’t need three or four episodes to do one fight. Yeah, those fight scenes were ridiculous, a bad guys sits back while the heroes “train” or level up against lesser opponents.
Meanwhile the bad guy says like three lines the entire episode and before you know it we have a lame-ass To Be Continued. It took me a few months to to realize this and say to myself, “what the fuck was that?”
i’m with ya that the only one i really want buy , and maybe the other down the line.
I’m still angry about Yamcha.
Agreed. But still… You can’t say an actor is good just because he managed to turn in one good performance…
What I mean is that back in 1995, the first 13 eps and the first movie of Dragon Ball were dubbed an aired on syndicated TV. Most of you never saw it because it was on at like 5:30 on Saturday morning. It didn’t do too well (I wonder why…), so FUNimation skipped ahead to the more action-oriented Dragon Ball Z (Dragon Ball was more comedy and gag-oriented up until the Piccolo Daimao saga)
It’s literally skipping from Chapter 2 in a book to Chapter 17 (The corresponding chapters of the manga.)
Hi. 1997 called, it wants it complaints about Dragon Ball Z back.
also, were not in Japan. so why the fuck would you want to watch it like that.:wonder:
I just dont feel there is enough emotion compared to the US voice
and plus im not japanese.
i have to say that the japanese narrator shows the difference btween the two versions
but the goku’s japanese voice is deffinetly db fan service
i dont like the things say about dbz, i dont understand the negativity, theres no anime like it, or anything as a matter of fact
the greatest scene in all of dbz is gohan going ssj2 in japanese.
Can someone explain to me how the Cell story arc ends? That’s where I stopped watching.
I remember something about Cell trying to absorb the androids to get stronger?
lol jesus…where do we start? you should just wiki that saga…cell saga is like 3 sagas in one.
androids/cell/perfect cell/aftermath
Always felt they fucked up the Majin Buu sage. . .I mean first Trunks/Goten were supposed to save the world, and be the new generation but fail…then Gohan gets his powers unleashed and has to save them and then he fails after the drawn out 10 episodes of him getting to full power, and the father son thing they played out…then the Goku/Vegeta ultimate fusion which ends up not working. . . .to the final battle againest Kid Buu that ends with a spirit bomb . . . always felt they should have had Gohan ended it myself. . .
There wasn’t supposed to be a Buu saga originally. Wasn’t supposed to be a Cell Saga either IIRC, since I heard that Toriyama wanted to stop after Frieza(but the fans wanted it to keep going or something).
As far as the sub/dub issue goes, I watched them when they first started on CN with some friends in college, but then we got some imported tapes of sub DBZ and watched ahead lol. I liked both versions of it because they were different interpretations of it(Dub was very hard edged and tense all the time, while the Sub was more…humanitarian and showed more drama). I guess it’s mostly due to the music.
Anyway, which release of the DVDs would I need to get the Ocean Group dubbings plus the original japanese track?(since the dubbing in the new ones suck. :sad:)
Tien is the best. No joke.
The humans became useless after the Cell Saga. I hated that shit.
“Feel my Wolf Fang Fist!!!” - Yamcha a.k.a. the best character in the series.
one of the many reasons db>dbz
Only human i can think of is Uub. . . .and that’s DBGT. . . .maybe 18 if you count her
Cell probably was the best villain of the series, buu (fat buu) was the funniest
my fav saga was the cell saga followed closely by the buu saga, it woulda been better if some of the ideas for buu werent rip offs of the cell saga like him bein able to regenerate and comin back to life after near death…but overall i enjoyed both of em
i didnt care for the garlic jr saga
i really dont count ubuu as human since he’s a reborn buu. umm 18 is an android.
Yeah. . .well Uub does have human parents. . . .and I always thought 18 was wished to a human/ she was once a human and Dr. Gero changed her to an android. . . that’s how she could have a kid. . . .
