Thoughts on the DBZ dub?

Was randomly thumbing through some of my old DVD's and I came across one of my blue bricks.

I remembered that I saw all of DB subbed because the dialogue for the dub was pretty horrendous. I also remember this being the case for GT most of the time, and of course, Z.

What are your thoughts on the Z dubs?

They due tend to be pretty trashy. The FUNi DB dub was better than that of their DBZ and GT dubs (although that isn't really saying much), and the uncut version of Kai is more tolerable than what they've done with any other part of the franchise. The FUNi dub for the pre-Kai stuff was pretty horrendous for a variety of reasons, although I prefer it to Ocean dub, considering that many of the voices in the Ocean dub sounded even less fitting or more annoying than the FUNi voices.

As for the other dubs, there's the Blue Water dub of DB and GT, which whilst I can only say what I remember from watching it on Toonami as a kid, I at least know it's script was far more accurate than FUNimation's, especially for GT. Then we have the Big Green and Malaysian dubs, which are only really good in terms of comedic value, at which they stand head and shoulders above the other official dubs.

^ Easily the worst script considering they translated it into French from Japanese and then into English again for some unknown reason. I think Big Green may have done the same.

Anywho, I agree with CC for the most part. Blue Water did strike me as having a good script, the voice acting just wasn't all the way there. Then again, the script did have some horrible lines as well like Vegeta telling Super 17 "DON'T COUNT YOUR CHICKENS YET, METALHEAD!"

Smh.

Guessing it meant to say "blessings" rather than "chickens"

It probably has more to do with the phrase "Don't count your chickens before they hatch", but butchered in a similar manner to what Big Green did with "Let that child alone".

I grew up with Funi and to be honest it's my favourite. I do recognize that the Japanese original is better but I really don't want to categorize myself with the scumbags at Kanzenshuu that bashed off Sean Schmememememel off their forum if that is what happened.

I like the Funi dub, and I quite honestly don't get what's so bad about it. I've heard other dubs that were pretty darn funny (Not Funi) and that includes Jap. Casting a girl Goku is never a good idea for Z.

Oh yeah, I guess that makes sense.
