New year, new intro! And an outro! Nice! Also: You totally can't tell who your favorite character is by the special music you may or may not give them! :p

While your points are good, you CANNOT discredit my boy Trunk's "IF THEY SET THAT ANDROID FREE.." line. That delivery was perfection, even if it had to follow up after two very awkward lines from Vegeta and Krillin

am element of the show existing in America that you're DEFINITELY not getting is that it has to be marketed as "Cool" to the youth. All of the music and every other gripe you cried about is that way 9/10 so that it can give off an aesthetic of something badass or heroic for kids to want to engage with thus pushing the TOY, videogame, movie, CD sales and more in other media forms. It was Americanized and successful. it's nothing to cry about at all 😂😂

"We're supposed to be terrified" of the first SSJ transformation in the show??.....🤦‍♂️ okay I've seen enough. FRIEZA is obviously supposed to be terrified but they clearly gave it a cool theme in the dub because WE'VE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE. IT WAS NEW. You think extremely 1-dimensionally and leave room for NO change/development. Example: in my other comment about u crying that "Goku is supposed to be a dumb character" when referencing him stopping krillin from finishing off Vegeta, that dialog was MADD SLOW in the OG sub saying "it makes my heart jump when i see someone like Vegeta. I want to fight him again" vs Eng dub sparing him BECAUSE WE MAY NEED HIM IN THE FUTURE (ACTUAL FORESHADOWING). So You want goku to STAY DUMB and NOT grow ANY kind of actual common sense. One dub gave him ACTUAL CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT and grew ONE BRAINCELL from since he was a kid...and u crying about it 😐 🤦‍♂️😂😂😂

i KNOW you not complaining bout SQUEAKY VOICES. The Japanese original has TONS of squaky ahh voices that are annoying af to listen to. You simply wanna cry about something 😂😂

i am NOT seeing your point here. The scene of Goku stopping Krillin from killing Vegeta in the Japanese original is LEGIT STUPID AF. wtf kinda dumbahh point was that??? "we NEED him to be DUMB AF 24/7 with NO CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT SINCE HE WAS A KID" so he can't GROW and show MATURATION?? 😂😂😂

Sunrise and Gainax are my two absolute favorite anime studios.

16:00 The video was going well until you have to suck off too much to the miscast who is Masako Nosawa as adult Goku. Not wanting to listen to Goku in Japanese is not a problem for American fans, it is a problem with all fans on the planet outside of Japan. Being a miscast has nothing to do with acting, you can be the best actor on the planet with the best performances on the planet as that character in that show, but if your voice doesn't fit the character in the show, it doesn't fit. I highly doubt that you would say that Chris Ayes' performance in Gantz is bad, but I'm sure you know that his voice doesn't suit Kai Kurono at all. Anyway, z's dub sucks, watch the kai dub and that's it. It is not necessary to have self-hatred and suck off to the Japanese too much.

R.I.P. Gainax. Definitely one of the greatest anime studios of all time.

Dude I always play Xenoverse 2 with japanese dub, am i wrong for that?

I'm shocked these don't get more views.

The intro of the channel looks like it's from the 2000s, it brings back memories.

The English dubbing is good anyway

Idk which is worse, either this or the 90s french dub. Because the latter one messed up a lot of the terminology to "simplify" the series to a youger audience. For example, they called the saiyans space warriors and changed some techniques's names to a more descriptive and utilitarian ones (masenko->magic beam) The worst of all is that this version was used in almost all Europe, polluting the spanish, portuguese, catalan, galician and polish dubs for instance.

Blame Saban for this!

Super’s dub is better!

Well actually Fukuda wasnt married until after seed

The only english dub that's good is ocean dub, especially in the first 3 movies. Funimation dub is so dry and bland in all versions kai, Z etc. The voice acting in ocean dub is 1000 times better and the voices fit the characters more as well as the intense sound effects. James Ian Corlett or Peter Kelamis as Goku is leagues above sean. Brian Drummond as Vegeta is flawless chris sabat is very overrated. And Scott McNeil as Piccolo is truly iconic. Also David Kaye as Recoome is way better than that horrible voice in Funimation by chris sabat.

To be fair, the original dub’s version of the scene where Kuririn lets Vegeta go at Goku’s request-the version where they’re voiced by Terry Klassen, Brian Drummond, and Ian Corlett-is somewhat passable. It sort of hacks together FUNimation’s made up “Show him mercy, Krillin; we’re better than that” reasoning and the original dialogue, wherein Goku tells Kuririn the made up thing, then says “Yeah, but I admire his super strength, because you see, I am also a Saiyan.” The uncut redub just goes with the made up thing, and it’s infuriatingly annoying. Were they just allergic to making a good script?

fills me with visible disgust when someone tells me DBZ is "one of the good ones" for english dubs. It's one of the absolute worst. Funny to me that it's always an opinion held by people who only watched dubbed anime and/or very little anime outside of what they saw on Network American tv (Toonami/Nick) so many years ago

Linda is the better frieza lol the other voices are garbage

U think the ocean dub is better then funimation dub

There is a misunderstanding among fans of the English dub. They believe that the English dub (specifically the dub starring Chris Sabat, Sean Schemmel, etc., and with music by Bruce Faulconer) made Dragon Ball Z a success in the West. But DBZ was already a hit with Western audiences during its early English dub with Ocean Cast. Even before then, it has been a long-standing favorite in its native Japan and other countries, contributing to its global appeal. So, given its popularity worldwide and the change in the English dub in the middle of its run, DBZ would've been a success no matter how the English dub was made.

Sorry dude it really sucks.

I love this Dragon Ball Z movie!

This is my favourite way to rewatch the Dragon Ball Franchise everytime i get the chance: 1. I start with the OG DB in the English Dub, i love the english dub in there; Stephanie Nadolny did an excellent work on Kid Goku being a Country Naive Wild Child. While Sean Schemmel on the other hand did a 180 turn on Adult Goku making Goku sound like a Super Hero like Superman, Batman or Captain America. 2. I kick off Original Dragon Ball with the Course of the Blood Rubies instead of the very first Arc (Hunt for the Dragon Balls was ''meh'') , then i move on w/ the 21st Tenkaichi Budokai > Sleeping Princess In Devil's Castle Movie > Red Ribbon Army arc & Fortuneteller Baba mini arc > 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai > Piccolo Daimaoh > Path To Power & Mystical Adventure Movies > 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai. 3. Time for ''Z'': Dead Zone Movie w/ Ocean Dub > Saiyan Arc on the original DBZ run (not Kai) SUBBED > World's Strongest Man & Tree Of Might Movies also w/ Ocean Dub. 4. Namek Arc in the Kai Version, just that i skipped the Gyniu Force (never liked them, nor the concept) and watch the Bardock Father Of Son Goku OVA instead, go back to Kai when Vegeta caughts Dende, Gohan & Krillin summoning Porunga, the Elder Namek dies & Frieza finally approaces. 5. I'm the only fan who loves Garlick Jr so i rewatch the Dead Zone Movie this time Subbed cuz i like to rewatch the Garlick Jr Mini/Filler Arc next. 6. I switch back to the first episodes of the Android Arc from the OG Z run because of the Banger Future Trunks's Music theme song, then i keep going w/ the Kai version. 7. After episode 65 of the Kai version i watch The History Of Trunks OVA & Super Android 13 Movies. 8. I keep going with the Cell Arc but on episode 92 i skip it and switch back on episode 184 of the original Z run because of the Banger SS2 Gohan Transformation. 9. Close up the Android & Cell Sagas w/ the Kai Version (Subbed of course) and finally i tune into the Bojack Unbound Movie................... and that's the end of Dragon Ball for me. I like the Afterlife Tournament but no so much, and i don't even wanna start with the Majin Buu Arc; i just hated how come they ruined Dragon Ball's ending that way.

this video has to be a troll right?

The Animaze dub is better than the streamline dub.

Boo-boo take

It’s absolutely great. What do you mean You’re tweaking you’re tweaking you’re Hella tweaking. It has the most legendary Bruce Faulconer score.

The dub still holds up!

Ur voice sounds like the type of guy to hate the dub 😂😂😂😂

Hmm... maybe I'll add this one to my watch list... Though broody isn't my usual taste.

People can hate the funi dub but it's what got most of my generation into DBZ, where the translation was bad or not. I figured by now in 2020 whatever that we know the old dub is bad. But hadn't we just accepted that and that's kind of it's charm? I go back and watch DBZ from time to time, to relieve my childhood. If I need an accurate version, I'll read the Manga or to an extent Kai cause it's more accurate than the old dub. People really need to stop just hating on it simply because it doesn't get everything right. If you don't like it that's fine, but it was literally one of the main reasons it took off here in the states on toonami. Most people my around my age, 30, fell in love with dbz on toonami and as they got older realized it might not have been the most accurate portrayal but it is why we loved dbz nonetheless. And yes im the dub guy but I also appreciate and enjoy the sub just as much. It took my longer than I care to admit but watching the sub I never felt like, holy shit I can never watch dbz again cause its clearly just trash. That'd be stupid.

The z dub is garbage. There’s some moments that I do like but yeah, it had some changes, but Kai is the most accurate ever like if you don’t want to watch Dragon Ball Z in Japanese go watch Dragon Ball Kai, English dub the actors even say that they sound much better than they did back in the day

there's a reason a lot of the games that followed the Z story is accurate to JP version and not the funi dub version cus the og dub sucked. even the English VAs thought it was bad THANK U FOR TALKING ABOUT THE SSJ2 TRANSFORMATION It's my fav moment too, and while i like the narrator at the end better than Kai and the pacing was better than Kai's sped up version, The inner monologue made no sense and was really stupid because Gohan and 16 NEVER FUCKING INTERACTED BEFORE. Unlike Kakarot where they had a few gameplay scenes or whatever that was added in but even that was a nothing burger. so that inner monologue of Gohan's wasn't earned and should've been silent. I'm glad the Kai version kept it silent

I just prefer the iconic voices.

Let's make an analogy: hot dogs are my favorite food, but I can't deny that they're of poor quality, especially the sausage, and I don't even get mad when people say they're bad or rubbish, because I know that and I like it better that way... I don't know how people don't understand things, the dubbing is terrible, but that doesn't mean you can't like it or think it's better, but you can't deny that it's terrible.

Black lagoon is next?!

Sigh. That could have been me doing terrible dub work if only I showed initiative towards any of the things I ever wanted to do. :p

The dub and the sub are two completely different shows, it's why the Western audience has an entire different perception to the series than the Japanese and Eastern audiences do.

This video is such a joke lmao the ENG dub is way better

You can make up tons of reasons as to why people prefer the Dub but at the end of the day the only truth is that certain people prefer certain things different. Its called an opinion. Which judging by the comments seems to not be something that a lot of you understand.

The difference between the shows is that the eng dub sounds more like a typical saturday morning cartoon but with more violence while the original sounds like a Kung fu movies x Godzilla and Star Wars. The right way to get into it is to look at it as a "strange vintage release" also the way they talk in the show makes it more serious rather then the "americanized" way of speaking. Vegeta sounding like a '"biker idiot" rather then a noble with a superiority complex, Bulma is almost ok , Gohan is more formal and polite in original which makes his SSJ2 more "rude" when compared , Trunks is also formal and polite

Why do you they other characters accents, but not the Japanese characters? You know how you'd be able to tell that the main character is actually japanese? By giving him a Japanese accent. :p

Borrowed this series from my local library a few years ago. It was an easy watch and lots of fun. Feels like elements of this show partially served as an inspiration for Martian Successor Nadesico.

My brother and I absolutely loved Star Blazers when we were kids. 2199 felt like a very touching tribute that could be enjoyed by veteran fans of the original, as well as newcomers to the franchise. You can tell that, along with the excellent animation, a lot of thought was put into the writing where they tried to address some of the original's plot holes. I agree with most of your points about characterization. As much as I appreciated the more diverse crew of the Yamato and the greater attention paid to the Gamilons overall, my biggest complaint has to be the treatment of Leader Dessler. He was such a cool, interesting antagonist in the original series. Unfortunately, he's written a little differently in the newer version and not fleshed out nearly as much. His subordinate, Dommel, received much more character development this time around. It's another one of those writing "trade-offs" you were talking about and IMO probably 2199's most glaring weakness. Nonetheless, I would still highly recommend this series to just about anyone.

Admittedly, I haven't seen ant Dragon Ball since the original ending. And some of GT, but the less said about that, the better. So... watching Vegeta perform broke my brain...
