Goku's Voice - ... I dunno. Something about it just doesn't fit. I thought the American voice actor correctly captured Goku's happy-go-luckyness. There was the faint hint of a chuckle underneath his words in the US version, whereas the UK guy just sort of flatpanned it. It's the difference between a "Heh!" and a "Hmph."

Bulma's - I had a hard time distinguishing it from Funimation's at first; I thought it was the same actress just doing a lower tone. But actually, she sounds really... er... coquettish, for Bulma, who's like god-knows-how-old by this point in the series and just saw her guy kill an entire stadium full of people. She doesn't sound very distressed at all in the UK version >_>


In all, I would really love to have Japanese voices/English subtitles with the English music. The Japanese music is lame to me, but I do like the original voices. The English voices come a close second. The UK dub can rot in the firey pits of Hell.

I agree. I did like the way Vejita's voice echoed though in the English version. I also think that the UK version is the same actor that did the original Vejita voice for Funi, but I never really liked that voice as much, unlike the rest of the DBZ crowd. I always prefered the deeper voice that he has during the Buu saga on there, it just seems more Vejita to me.
