Your favorite DBZ Voice Cast

[Poodcanine]

There have been two different Voice Casts during Dragonball Z. Which one was your favorite? Or is Japanese your favorite?

[Behonkiss]

The first cast was Canadian, actually.

[Umino]

The Japanese cast. ;)

Is there a way for me to edit my poll, so it says "Canadian" instead? I don't see any "edit" button where the poll is.

[CookieS]

I like the latter voice cast, but maybe that's just me.

[Jimmy Kudo]

The Funimation cast.

Heh... at first, I didn't like the Funimation cast...., but then I guess they just kinda grew on me. :sweat:

[Shift]

Mostly I like the Texan dubbing better, though I could never get used to the newer King Kai and Captain Ginyu.

[Djm912]

I'd have to say I prefer the pre-Funimation cast. That cast had Brian Drummond, who I'm "OMGWTFBBQYMCANAACP teh pwnage and awesome!!!!onehundredeleven!!111" about.

And I can't forgive Funimation for the Ginyu Force.

[Chuquita]

Depends on the character; I like some of the japanese voices for some of them and the Funi voices for others.

[Kazuya Prower]

I miss the voices from Seasons 1 & 2.

It's variable. Between the two casts, I prefer more of the Ocean Group cast's VAs. I remember when FUNi began its move to TX. It's still tough watching the Freeza saga with the FUNi cast. I'll admit that they sound way better in the uncut Saiyan/Namek sagas. They really have improved.

I still liked hearing Drummond's version of Vegeta better, and I still think Scott McNeil is "the man" to do Piccolo. Dave "Squatch" Ward is still a lot better than FUNi's version of King Kai. Sonny Strait's Krillin sounds a lot better now, and it sounds like he stopped trying to do Terry Klassen's version. So, while I still like the first cast, FUNi has really stepped up.

Actually, King Kai was played by Don Brown. Dave Ward was the Ox King.

Are you serious? Then, I must have looked at a source with incorrect information.

[Dogasu]

The Japanese cast is by far the best. Kaio-sama doesn't sound like a baffoon, Freeza doesn't sound like an old woman, and Majin Boo doesn't sound like a retarded child.

[Zach]

Canadian cast.

On a side note, the Saiyan and Namek sagas are the best ones in the series.

[bigddan11]

I'm under the impression that this probably should have been done in the Anime forum since it's not a talkback for the show, but I have to say FUNi. Once they stopped trying to impersionate Ocean Group, they really gained their own identity and excelled with the Cell Games.

I do feel that Stephanie Nadolny's uncut Gohan though is terrible, and the Ocean actor was better there.

[Beat]

The Spanish cast owns both of them.

I agree. Saffron Henderson did a better Gohan than Nadolny.

[Poodcanine]

I agree. Saffron Henderson did a better Gohan than Nadolny.
I very much disagree I think that Stephanie Nadolny's Gohan is very good, better than Saffron Hendersons.

To be more specific, In the Saiyan and Namek Saga Henderson's Gohan was good. I think her Gohan would have also been good in the Ginyu and Frieza Sagas. However, when Gohan is older, like in the Cell and Cell games sagas, I think Nadolny's Gohan would be much better.

[Yash]

Ocean cast.

FUNi cast grew on me but I miss Brian Drummond, Scott McNeil, and Ian James Corlett.

I haven't seen enough of the Japanese version to make a fair judgement. I haven't seen the Spanish version period.

[Vidfreak]

Ocean with out a doubt , although Funis own cast has gotten good as time went on.

[Poodcanine]

So which do you like more, the Canadian Frieza or the FUNimation Frieza?

[CyberCubed]

So which do you like more, the Canadian Frieza or the FUNimation Frieza?

The two Frieza sound nearly identical. :/

[Arxane]

I prefer Pauline Newstone to Linda Young. While both made Freiza sounds more like a woman, Paula at least made Freiza sound more sinister and cruel more easily, whereas Linda sounds unnatural at times.

[RADRAD]

Saban's Canadian cast is eternal in my mind. Brian Drummond's Vegeta, Scott McNeil's Piccolo, it's all good in that.

[anime_guru]

The Spanish cast owns both of them. I agree! The spanish cast was the best...they didn't make piccolo sound demonic...though scott mcneil did do a good job with that, still spanish was better than the japanese voice acting cast
