I really like Little Kuriboh as Frieza, honestly. He's better than Frieza's real VA's I think.

I've already gushed about Cooler, especially since his Final Form voices mimics Bane so well.

TFS gave Freeza and Cooler both something denied to them by previous dubs: fucking class.

I'm really enjoying Ayres' Freeza in Kai to be honest. LK is great though. I definitely prefer him to Linda Young.

As Young was the only main voice I ha a problem with though, I can't say I prefer any TFS voices. I know Kaiser Neko really dislikes Tiffany Vollmer (Bulma) so I'm guessing he at least thinks whoever does her in TFS is better.

[up]Didn't Chris Ayres and Little Kuriboh start voicing the character at around the same time?

I can't tell, are they using the touched-up Kai animation or the original?

So many of the best abridged series are ones where I only followed the manga, so their interpretations of characters' voices are in some cases the first ones I was exposed to for a sustained length of time. To me, Masako X is Goku's English voice, and that's that.

For Adult Goku? I guess he works... I never liked Adult Goku anyway so I just haven't paid much attention to his V As.

Apparently Goku's (well, everyone in the Son family I think's) voice-actress in Japanese really puts a lot of people off.

While looking for Kai videos online I did get a glimpse of her as Gohan going SSJ 2 in the Cell Games.

I completely forgot that crab thing was there in the original anime too. How fucking pointless was that.

animators seeking any means to fill an episode which basically was just Vegeta getting his ass handed to him for 18 minutes?

I caught up with season 3 (eh, sorta) episodes.

I really like this whole Nail being Piccolo's brain roommate.

Regarding Trunks, my God, he is strong. I didn't know anything about him other than he is Vegeta's son from future or something like that.

I really hope I'll enjoy Nail and Kami being Piccolo's brainmates. I just hope Nail isn't revealed to be a figment of Piccolo's lonely imagination. Considering Super Kami Guru and Dende both sensed him, I hope that shows that won't happen.

What the hell is the inside of a Namekian's brain like, that they have apps and the internet? Maybe that's how Guru knows about Batman. Brain Hulu.

But then why did he want a TV?

[up][up] Trunks is pretty strong but just wait until you see what Goku can do now. he'll finger Trunks but good.

He wanted to share the show with the others. Or he was worried about his data usage.

Huh. So in the original series, Vegeta was the one flirting with Trunks.

He was all ready to strip, but was shy about being stared at. Vegeta's playing hard to get!

I was always a fan of Goku's very first VA, Ian James Corlett.

So in canon he gets flirted by his dad and in the parody series his mom. What a happy family.

In this one his mom flirts with him and then his dad accuses him being attracted to him. So he gets awkwardly uncomfortable parental incest insinuations from both of his parents.

Yeah, Trunks's internal screaming was genius.
