Dragon Ball's English dub, ESPECIALLY THE Z ONE, makes me want to rip my ears tbh, Freeza's voice is especially bad.

@Dragomer: Eh, really? Also grew up with a different dub here, but... I actually think the English dub is solid, especially nowadays, just that it's a big departure from the Japanese and in many ways is its own thing. For example... I am not a big fan of Christopher Sabat's Vegeta and Piccolo, but that's mostly because of how different they are from their Japanese counterparts (and the dub I am biased to =P) but otherwise I think he's an excellent VA and really like his other work not filtered by that issue.

I grew up with the english dub, so I love the voices, but I do agree the Vic situation made it really hard to like the dub knowing that while the voice acting is good, the people behind said voices are pretty shitty

I would say the opposite. Kai and Super are by far the best parts of the English dub, the actors actually knew how to act by this point so they voices fitted somewhat better and the translation got a really good improvement (even when they kept many earlier mistakes for nostalgia's sake). Also, Kai didn't have the Falconeer music, and that alone is a massive upgrade from Z.KLOL506 said:

Even in Super i'm not a fan at all and i'm personaly stunned that some people prefer that 'Falconeer' stuff to the actualy japanese music when DBZ has freaking amazing stuff in japanese while the american stuff was meh at best.
I had never heard of it before interacting with the american fanbase.

@Dragomer: Of course, I was just sharing personal thoughts on it. If you don't like the english dub, that's perfectly legitimate as well.

Well, while I stil don't think it is a good dub by that point, at least it is decent, with some acceptable voice acting and relatively solid translations, unlike the simply bad dub the Z one was, because that dub was just bad , not "so bad it's good" like the Italian, Portuguese and Castillian/Spaniard ones.Dragomer said:
I fully agree there. I can't even process that awful heavy electronic is even a Dragon Ball music, when Z had really great orchesthal music. And let's not even talk about the full blown cringe that Rock the Dragon is...Dragomer said:

Zamasu is voiced by Shinchiro Miki which in a hell of a VA. Can't remember Jiren's Japanese VA, but his english one is Patrick Seitz isn't he?

Ryuusei Nakao's work as Freeza is simply perfect, I don't have enough words to praise his performance.PaChi2 said:

Oh yeah, it just nails perfectly both ends in Frieza's character: the otherwordly and menacing alien and the affable and soft spoken façade hiding his true evil.
It's quite telling most dubs have to choice one of the two ends, either the freaky alien voice or the soft spoken bad guy voice

Um, there are 2 Spanish dubs, the very literal Latin American one and the "so bad it's good" Castillian/Spaniard one. Which one are you talking about?
- 3,616
- 2,408
Latin American or Spain? The Latin American pretty much tried to go for the soft spoken ******, but if an interview with his VA is to go by, the director told the VA essentially: "well you went with classy, bombastic, freaky alien imitation, and sassy, no make him sound pretty macho"

The Brazilian VAs for Broly and Future Trunks are amazing, on par with the original

That has to be a depressing life if the only way people can be united is either rejecting everything but their own "truth" or hating something or. It's why Star Wars is the most pathetic fandom of all. (InB4 someone says the fandom has a right to be pissed)Dragomer said:

The dude who went 'it's a joke if you can't tell' can't spot an obvious joke it seems
They not only have a right to be pissed, they are right to be pissed.

... What does Toei have to do with anything? We're talking about dubs, the only dub they have control over is the Japanese one.Zamasu Chan said:

The only Star Wars fandom that I felt went too far/were too damned salty are OT purists that attacked the PT relentlessly and unfairly judged it as the worst garbage to ever exist. Is it flawed? Yes. But worth the level of pure hatred that it attracted? No.
