Didn't Vegeta3968 leave because he had some conflict with Masako X?

...Speaking of Season 1 Yamcha, anyone know exactly why Vegeta3986 was fired?

Kaiser mentioned on his tumblr that it was combination of schedule issues and his less than stellar voice acting.

What caused the Naruto Abridged split though has never been revealed.

What about the lady that voiced Chiaotzu before Megami33 replaced her?

[up]Interesting enough, when i was searching for the tumblr post I found this one as well.

I'm not sure about Chaotzu's original VA, but Kaiser mentions that they've done some recasting on characters to get better performances for the direction they wanted to take them. That's why Lani took over as Master Roshi.

Yeah, I think Lani does a better Roshi than Masako.

Either Lani or Taka might be the best VA among the cast as a whole.

Remix does a great Android 16 and Kami. Little Kuriboh's Frieza and Narrator are also fun.

Who voiced Android Trucker Hat, again?

[down]Indeed.

[up]No clue, i think someone completely new.

General Ivan as Cooler and Dr. Gero was also really good.

I'm glad they ended up firing Vegeta random numbers, I never enjoyed his voice acting all that much out of maybe Cui. The quality drastically improved once he was let go.

Kami, Raditz (With the keep your eye on the birdie joke -cringe-), Cui, Yamcha and a few others.

[up][up]Yeah, He did surfer voice for Yamcha and a stereotypical oldman voice for Kami.

Oh man, Ivan's amazing.

Definitely. He also does professional dubs as well, being Gekko Moriah in One Piece and Ichiya in Fairy Tail.

[up]It was a creation from the Ocean Dub I believe. The gag is the Lani wanted to use it's original Japanese name, but then Vegeta hijacked the mic.

That earlier talk of Vegeta Numbers made me think of this scene with Launch.

Yeah, the new voices for Kami and Roshi are a lot better.

I want to see an expanded Raditz moveset where he goes from days of the week, to weeks as a whole, to months and holidays.

Maybe it's called Double Sunday because he can destroy entire empty office buildings with it.

He also knows City Evacuation Blast.

One thing I've noticed about Ivan is that both Cooler and Gero sound very similar to each other. However, he still does a good job regardless, and the voice he uses does fit both of the characters.

Also:

That said, it's why I don't like horror movies. No matter how much they're Asshole Victims, if you give them even a hint of being human, I always just wind up feeling sorry for them instead of how I should be feeling. I think it was TJ crying over Wombat that killed it for me. That was the difference between that and, say, Semi blowing up the islands he was talking with a few episodes later, which I liked.

See, I did actually feel sorry for them (though I felt more sorry for all of the other innocent people), but I still found it extremely funny. I don't think those feelings are mutually exclusive, and I would reject the premise that they are.

Also, 44's ending wasn't an attempt at straight drama - it was Black Comedy. Very, very Black Comedy, as is common with Cell, and DBZA villains in general.

Oh God! Natural light!
