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...

Im glad someone finally pointed out how stupid Vegeta being forced into violence and serivng frieza is. The saiyanz were already serving fireza and were blood-thursty murderers to begin with. Frieza forcing vegeta into being a cold blooded murderer is a gigantic plot hole

So super busy... 😆

I wonder what Game Boy games the police play if they are so Advanced? 😋

City Hunter: The Secret Service took place after the end of the entire City Hunter TV series.

hating on the rock music for the movies is crazy. That shit made almost every fight sounds so much better.

Are... are they really saying nookie? Ew. 😶

It's hard to really hate one of the other. UC and SEED is Wing to 00. They're reimagining's of their most popular IPs. While I like UC, OG Gundam is just lazily following WW2. OG Gundam has more whiney kids and whiney "adults". SEED has more teen drama. I quite like Rau as a character. Sure he's crazy, but it's fun. And is insanity does have SOME reason behind it. He's not just doing this for Run. Personally i find Char kinda boring until Zeta gundam anyways. Now Kira vs Amuro.... meh... don't like either. Athrun is the fan favourite anyways. Mu vs Ramba vs Walfield.. they all have their moments. And yes.. destiny is the worst. But only after the half way point.

Can you do cardcaptor sakura

I'm glad to have made the decision to watch the original Japanese version of the series instead of the ADV Films dub. Vic Mignogna and Illich Guardiola really ruined Macross for me as Hikaru and Quamzin.

I recently just started rewatching the series. The Animaze dub for Big O was perfect. Fun fact: The late Eddie Jones (who played the ghost at the funeral in the first ever episode of Ghost Whisperer) had a small role in the dub.

Good video, in the dub Goku is pretty much just a Superman ripoff. In the Japanese and the Manga Goku is a more complex character and even makes some questionable moral decisions like letting Vegeta live and giving Cell a Sensu Bean. Thankfully the Funimation cast got to redeam themselves with a much more faithful dub in Kai's dub.

At first I thought this video was a Night on the Galactic Railroad fan fiction. Lol

yeah is awesome.

What I hate the most about the DBZ dub discussion is how people defend the funimation version because "in japanese goku sounds like a woman and her voice is annoying", DUDE HAVE YOU HEAR YOUR KRILLIN AND FRIEZA??

Please Do This With *OG* & *GT*

What is the next review going to be?

The universe for your videos is a better one than ours just from that ending. 🙃

I’m not saying u wrong but ur voice needa do some push ups

The stench of the old dub remains in the Fandom 💯

97 % of the people that don't like the sub haven't even watched it in sub. They complain about goku's voice when in fact they're just too lazy to read.

This video needs 10 million more views

also what about queen emeraldas maetel legend cosmo warrior zero space symphony maetel and the galaxy railways series too.

Julie Ann Taylor who voice in gun frontier. she will play Kei Yuki in the endless odyssey. 8:50

just listen to lex lang voice for Harlock. it is incredible. 5:11

Richard casino voice for Tadashi Daiba is so cool. 9:17

Sabat is still a horrible actor. Does not fit vegeta or piccolo at all and never will. His vegeta sounds like he's gargling

Fuck funimation. If only they never existed

And from what I've read, Takeshi Koike, the character designer for that series, would later replace Yamamoto as the director for the films that follow after it. But there's also a question I wanted to ask, how does both Lupin Zero and Episode 0: First Contact fit into all this?

Tadashi yelled to Kei. (who she bend brainwashed by noo.) by saying GET OUT OF HERE. at 12:25.

Great review! Did you do the second OVA? I thought that was the better episode of the two.

Sailor Moon was my first anime, english dub, of course. And I remember being about 8-9 years old, waking up at 5:30am because that's when it aired on I don't even remember on what channel, because it was well before it was on CN. I loved it back then, cheesy dialogue with subpar delivery and all. I didn't really know any better. The movies were just nostalgic joy when I first watched them. But now I look back at it and cringe. Especially when my niece is into Sailor Moon Crystal and I tried to introduce her to the original dub series. Just... yikes! I think my 'favorite' thing about the original dubs, besides the dialogue itself, was the oh so casual queer erasure. Even in the movies.

Great Video 👍 Edit :- *DRAGON* *BALL* *Z* : *DEAD* *ZONE,* *DRAGON* *BALL* *Z* : *THE* *WORLD’s* *STRONGEST,* *DRAGON* *BALL* *Z:* *THE* *TREE* *OF* *MIGHT* *ENGLISH* Dubs By *PIONEER* Entertainment With *OCEAN* Cast Is Considered To Be Best *DB* Dubs. Maybe Because It Had Accurate Scripts, Uncensored (Home Video), & Kept The Original *JAPANESE* Score.

DBZ Sub VS Dub videos/debates from older fans are really fascinating to me. My first exposure to DBZ was the shitty widescreen version on DVD when I was 5 years old. On those DVDs the default audio track was the Funimation dub with the Kikuchi Score. I loved the soundtrack and for about 10 years I never even knew there was a separate American Soundtrack outside of the instrumental theme that replaces Cha La Head Cha La in that version of the dub. It's an awfully written version of the scene, but the "hope of the universe" speech feels so hollow with the American soundtrack, while Kikuchi's Genki Dama theme fits that triumphant super hero vibe Funimation was going for when they rewrote the scene. Finding out how much things were changed with Z's Dub script while also finding out that the soundtrack originally was one of the things changed makes it feel like I grew up with a strange in-between of the Japanese and Funimation versions. I should also add that the Kikuchi score was a big reason why I wanted to watch DBZ in Japanese. While the dub is available with the Japanese soundtrack the music is in pretty low quality in certain scenes, and almost every vocal and insert song were removed (With the exceptions of Battle Point Unlimited, Solid State Scouter, and the credits themes). Wanting to rewatch DBZ with a more complete and higher quality soundtrack is half the reason I watched the series in Japanese, and it's my preferred way of watching it now.

Glad you enjoyed it! I remember when it aired subbed on the International Channel, oh so long ago, and then I experienced the dub once I got the DVDs (which were among the first DVDs I ever got, back in 2001). It's certainly an interesting cast on both sides. Kōji Tsujitani and Crispin Freeman as Tylor, Shō Hayami and J. David Brimmer as Yamamoto, Yuri Amano and Rachael Lillis as Yuriko, Mugihito and Robert O'Gorman as Mifune, and more... though I will say while I like Lisa Ortiz's Azalyn, her voice for the Hanner twins does get a bit annoying. Oh, and how appropriate is it that the treacherous Prime Minister is named Wang? Because he really is one. Of course, you'll have to follow up with the OVAs. The first two-part OVA, "An Exceptional Episode (Tylor's War)", is in the style of the series, while the subsequent OVAs have a bit of a different tone, due to the change in director and animators, and a general attempt to more closely adapt the novels. Of course, it's frustrating that the last OVA ends on a huge cliffhanger, but what are ya gonna do?
