"Dragon Ball Kai" FUNimation Home Video Release News & Discussion

Hmm, so the only confirmed recasts are for Bulma, Puar, Chaozu, and Gohan. I'm actually curious to hear Colleen's take on Gohan if you ask me. As for the box, it's simplistic, yet I like it. Almost close to the JPN boxes minus the colors they use.

We'll be spared terrible dialogue, likely, but that doesn't necessarily mean the dub will be good.

Still, some ppl are acting like FUNi is just going to get the old dubs they did and place them in the new series. I get it if its out already, but...The new dubs are not out yet. And, why listen to the dubs? Half of these ppl that are complaining about the dubs, hate the dubs to begin with. So, why keep on complaining?


I got a little mix with Goku's FUNi VA. I personally like the ocean dub Goku VA. He sound pretty young. But the Goku ocean dub VA can't play serious Goku unlike the FUNi VA.

Kurrin I just love. Don't change him. He's pefect.

Vegeta....Hit and miss. But don't change him.

Piccolo, same with Vegeta.

Freeza...I'm in a mix here.

Those are legitimate complaints, however.

Well here is what I think on most of the cast.

Son Goku- I think he was great in the original dragon ball dub, I actually think the original dragon ball dub was the best dub of all 3 series, so if he uses that voice I will be super happy. I just hope he doesn't to much like Z.

Kurrin- I actually think this guy did it right, just a ton less corny jokes and what not and don't act more like the JP counter-part he is good to go.

Vegeta- Now, this is my favorite character if they can make him sound like a prince I don't care how much roles Sabat has.

Piccolo- I think Sabat does just fine with this one. But like all the others no corny jokes

Freeza- Do I really need to say any thing, she is a terrible VA for this role.

EDIT: @Jacob, I guess you are right if they do make better script ajdustments I will thank Funimation personally.

And before FUNi release the DVD ppl are already complaing about the new dubs that hasn't been out yet. Wow, thats....Thats pretty fast.

I've now completely given up on FUNi ever doing anything right for the dub of DBZ. I felt Kai was the best chance for a complete top-to-bottom new experience, but they want the same old thing. The fact they want a different narrator for each series shows they know nothing about the Japanese version, where Jouji Yanami has been the narrator for EVERYTHING without the need to scream DRAGON BALL ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ at every opportunity.



No, a lot of secondary characters were replaced.

Go to daizex -__-"

It seems ppl are little bit jumping the gun way to soon. I mean, ppl were complaining about the add "Z" and now ppl are complaining about...About...VA? Wait, how did we got here? Sorry, I'm getting little confuse here. What are we complaining about again? Everything what FUNi did or everything what FUNi going to do?
Either way, complaining about what FUNi is or isn't going to do is not going to slove the problem in hand. So far as we know, FUNi got the series, dubing it and bring it this year.

To me it seems as if Funimation is just not caring about us fans, they just want that main crowd who don't give crap about how the show is seen they just like the cast. Why are they always trying to aim releases at them? Because there about 10 times more fans in that crowd than the crowd that actually gives a damn about the original show.
