I can't watch Super until they start airing the dub. The subs are unwatchable for me.

Haven't watched it. Don't want to until it's dubbed. I want Schemel Goku, not old lady Goku.

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?

To be honest, I do watch it with the sound muted.

Meh. It don't matter to me.

I've got no fucks to give about Old Lady Goku, so it's not an issue which version I watch.

Kind of ironic how people prefer the dub. Usually it's the other way around.

Dragon Ball has had the benefit of having excellent dubs.

A weird thing I've noticed is seething hatred for bot the Japanese and the Kai dub.

For changing voices (which they didn't really do for the most part) and voice acting, which as far as I can tell has greatly improved. Even the actors have said as much.

@LSBK Because people don't like new Gohan's voice, the actors don't sound as emotional as they did before even if the delivery and dialogue is better and it's missing Bruce's music.

I mean compare Gohan killing Cell.

I said most haven't changed. I'm aware of Gohan and I'm just going to disagree with you on the emotion bit. As for the music, all I can really say about that is get over it. It's all online.

Bu that's not really addressing my point because the hate usually isn't framed in those terms, just as Kai obviously being worse just because it is. It's not being treated as a preference thing.

[up] Everything I've read about it has to do with what I said.

And honestly, the music is a big sticking point with me too. They really added to scenes and Bruce had themes for a lot of characters.

I also don't like New Gohan's voice. He sounds too much like Monkey D. Luffy.

And some of the voices don't sound as good as they used to because the actors are getting older.

And? Get over other people being bothered by Kai not having Bruce's music.tongue I was just saying that lots of people think that Z had better music than Kai. It's not the only reason just another reason.-shrugs-

[up]And your point? Whether some people think it's better wasn't my point.

Complaining about changing the original Japanese score with Faulconer's always seemed stupid to me and doing the reverse seems just as stupid.

It's an inherently subjective thing that shouldn't be treated as an objective factor of quality.

Who's being defensive? I don't particularly care one way or the other. Which is why it seems like such a strange thing to get hung up on.

Gohan's final push on the Kamehameha was better animated in the original. What did Kai do? Smudge it with a pencil?

But the reason I hated Kai was that it was the same Anime we had already seen. Most of the filler was gone and I wasn't upset with what remained, like Gregory. I was upset that it was the same drawn out Anime and somehow TOEI managed to make what was supposedly the same animation look worse.

Old lady Goku? Whatever, old lady Freeza is my favorite so what does my tolerance of old lady Goku mean?

I actually enjoyed the Kai dub provided it uses the score made for it rather than the original Japanese score (even if it was mostly plagiarized music).

I have nothing respect for Goku's Jap Seiyuu, but I've been watching the dub for so long, its hard to associate his voice with anyone else.

As for Kai...eh

Can we all agree that Trunks returning to his future to kill the Androids was better in Z than Kai?

I don't remember much of the Z anime. The things that stand out in my memory are pretty random too like Ginyu body hopping between frogs and endless Frieza fight filler.

Well there was Piccolo and Son Goku learning how to drive cars and the one about a girl trying to blackmail Gohan into a date with her when she sees that he wears whity tidies with a giant, cute teddy bear face on it.
