Ayres' Frieza was my favorite. It's hilarious how much he sounds like Little Kuriboh. Really, I was just glad that they kept the OVER 9000!!! line without spending too much time on it.
The very best, like no one ever was. Check out my Spider-Man fanfic here! [1]Ya know, watching Kai made me realize something I've never thought of before. (maybe I'm just slow)
Freeza wanted the Dragon Balls so damned badly...and yet he never once mentions then when he goes to Earth. Why the fuck didn't he plan to make himself immortal there? It be a great bonus in addition to gaining his revenge on Goku.
Did he even know there were Dragon Balls anymore after Namek? XP
Long live Cinematech. FC:0259-0435-4987He should've. If he intercepted the transmissions from Vegeta's or Nappa's Scoutes about the Dragon Balls on Namek then he should have gotten info from Raditz's Scouter, same as Vegeta and Nappa did.
Also watch this video:
Goku vs. Frieza takes OVER 4 HOURS!!!!!!
..seriously though, that's insane. Imagine 4 hours + all the Ginyu/Bulma filler and Gohan returning to fight Frieza and God knos what else.
I wonder how long Goku vs. Frieza clocks in at in Kai...

I will be finishing the Kai Frieza Saga tonight I hope. Then tomorrow I can finally get started on what I've really been interested in seeing - Kai Android/Cell Saga.
I gotta admit, I never much cared for Nadolny's Gohan (absolutely love her Kid Goku though) but she has one helluva scream for when he turns SSJ 2.
Clinkenbeard has her work cut out for her to top that.

Apparently it's 250k according to the wiki. It said it was stated on the battle power page. Whatever that means.
edit: It says Frieza is over 1 million in his third form.
Yes it is. Granted at that point the Super Saiyan concept wasn't fully fleshed out so they didn't know how much stronger it would make Goku.

Well I just finished the Kai Freeza Saga.
1. Clinkenbeard is a better fit for a really young Gohan than Nadolny. She does drift into Luffy far too much at the beginning but I think it got better. Scenes like Gohan telling Chi Chi to shut up were a lot better with her.
2. The music is interesting... I'm used to Faulconer and, as sub fans love to point out, music is always playing in Funi's DBZ. The silence ddi give certain scenes more weight in Kai. I felt the Japanese score was decent, if not amazing. Certainly has nothing on the Dragon Ball OST.
3. Ayres' Freeza is amazing. Nuff said.
4. I preferred Brice Armstrong's Ginyu to the new guy. The new guy was just trying to replicate Armstrong's Ginyu.
5. Doc Morgan was a fantastic narrator.
6. The lack of filler was a real relief. Last time I tried to re-watch Goku vs. Freeza I had to skip entire episodes out of boredom. Even still, they did keep some filler, like Bulma and Ginyu and Gohan fighting final form Freeza. I wonder why.
7. Sabat's Vegeta and Piccolo are certainly a lot smoother. His Piccolo is now just his Zoro. I like it. The intense growl voice worked for King Piccolo but not for regular Piccolo.
8. Monica Rial's Bulma is really overrated. Or maybe Tiffany Vollmer's Bulma is just underrated. I don't dislike the new Bulma but I don't get the praise. Her voice sounds a bit...nasally at times?
9. Watching Kai Freeza Saga hit me over the head with the nostalgia hammer. But even still, it was only nostalgia. I have no real love for the Freeza Saga. The Cell Saga is the one I revisit the most and the one I think had a host of legitimately great new voices coming in. As such, Kai will have to impress me a fair bit to make me prefer it over Z. I already noted my disappointment with Clinkenbeard's Eighteen and I'm interested to see Vegeta's Final Flash or Gohan going SSJ 2.
EDIT:
Trunks, that heartless fiend! King Cold was defenseless and begging for his life. He vowed to change his wicked ways and offered him a whole solar system.
Why'd ya do it, Trunks?

While true, the sheer abundance of titties in Bleach dwarfs the number of titties in DB.
Hell, Bleach's female cast is just flat out like two or three times larger than DB's at the very least.
Also i must admit that there is one voice recast I am enjoying immensely and that is Ayres' Freeza. I'm actually enjoying Freeza as a villain for once.
