Miroku being Light's dad is such a hilarious image in my mind.

I just can't get over the horrendously wrong pronounciations.

Keioken!

Kameamea. You son of a motherless goat, you pronounced it correctly not two seconds after, the assholians bow down to your fuckwittery, how the hell do you manage to do that!?

It's five fucking syllables long, you assmuncher, not fucking three. Neither of the Hs is silent. It's "Ka Me Ha Me Ha". It's not the Hawaiian King, it's Japanese for 'Turtle Destruction Wave'.

It just pisses me off so much, and it's even worse because the same people who pronounce it "Kameamea" in casual conversation turn around and then pronounce it correctly immediately after. I've seen Lanipator do it, I've seen Kaiserneko do it, I've seen pretty much every English voice for anyone who's ever used a Kamehameha do it, how does this keep fucking happening?

Because sometimes people slur words, especially ones that they normally do not use when they speak, perhaps?

I will say that I miss Jeice's Space Aussie voice. But his Space Irish voice isn't bad.

Also I liked "Vegeta, NOOOOO!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

[up] Well I have to pick a dub to choose. I'm going through DBZ with my friend soon. We started at Dragon Ball and we're barely at the second arc but I still want to choose the coolest one.

This is pretty badass.

Actually out of all those dubs, bar Abridged, I prefered the Kai one the best.

It didn't linger where it didn't need to and the voices were better done, I think.

I prefer the manga over any version of the anime but, out of the anime versions, I like Kai the best. The Funi dub of Dragon Ball is pretty good too, though it could use its own Kai version.

That Funi video and Ocean video that were shared were virtually identical, except that Vegeta sounded worse in Ocean.

@ Light and Miroku

Well, if Light had a lecherous monk as a father, he probably wouldn't have targeted criminals. Sadly, I can't see how the Death Note can be used to pick up chicks. Unless he used it t make them like, have sex with him and then die and I'mma just stop right there.

[up] Yeah, Early Funi DBZ might as well have been done by space aliens for all the resemblance it has to later Funimation work.

I still maintain that Funi's Dragon Ball dub is legitimately good however and I love Stephanie Nadolny's Kid Goku.

Jesus Christ, Vegeta's Ocean dub voice was terrible. He sounds like a snotty middle school brat that sticks gum in little girls' hair and tattles on everyone.

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?

I hear that Ocean using Frieza's voice as a woman is less than admired in some circles.

Ah bah but. Ocean Vegeta created the "Over 9000" meme.

He also did a way better scream when he found out someone touched his balls.

Brian Drummond AKA Ocean Vegeta is awesome.

Sadly, we can only work with what we are given. It doesn't matter if you gave Leonard Da Vinci a steaming pile of shit, even he couldn't do anything with it.

This is the kind of stuff the Ocean group were working with.

By the way, speaking of the dub... this is going a while back, but the idea of the "Z Fighters" as a "superhero team" was an invention of the dub? Never knew that.
