To be fair, Norio!Cell has two Evil Laughs: an Evil Guffaw that works quite well, and an Evil Chuckle that doesn't.

I love Damian Clark as Cell. The Lat American dub is alright, but Cell, unlike Freezer who has a unique voice, shares his voice actor with at least 5 more characters, among them, Cooler. The only thing I do absolutely love about Lat Cell is his first form with that voice... It gave me a funny feeling when I was a kid. Just Kidding, of course. Damian made the three forms voices more unique, giving a proper sense of perfection to it.

Also, Turles and Bardock are better in english than in Latin America or Japan. There, I said it.

I do notice that Latin America LOVES Dragon Ball.

Here's the timeline Toei released for the FT Saga.

It's in Japanese, but I'm sure there's translations out there.

[up][up]Latin America's 90s kids grew up on DB, Saint Seiya, Sailor Moon, Captain Tsubasa, Slam Dunk and the like.

For some insane reason, though, anime never endured on tv even though it's always been popular.

That bubble burst almost everywhere in the world and it was mostly Japan's fault for screwing up licensing and out pricing themselves via lofty expectations because of those few hits.

Only certain areas of Europe and some Pacific countries kept their steady wave of anime on tv.

I would believe that if it weren't for the fact that they weren't even airing much cheaper licenses. In this regard, the USA had a much better selection. Yeah, a lot of it was overly violent garbage, but Latin America didn't even get that even though the teens of the era were totally into it.

It reached a point where we would've welcomed Mad Bull 34.

I remember watching an anime on Scifi channel called MD Geist, it was incredibly violent and incredibly boring. Latin America pretty much got a better deal when it comes to Dragon Ball and I do appreciate that they gave Goku a deeper voice than what they did with Nozawa.

For every MD Geist, there was at least one Oedo 808. Wait, was it Oedo 808?

The one with the legendary dick-biting vampire, I mean.

I'm honestly surprised I've never seen a vampire film use that joke before.

For some reason I'm reminded of Family Guy.

A dick-biting vampire is a joke they'd definitely use.

Personally, I think that the Banana line has it beat.

Gets double points because they say through the back of the head and she clearly shoots his torso (the scene itself makes no goddamn sense whatsoever).
