I find this clip rather interesting.

I believe it's in this order.

Japanese
American(FUNimation)
UK(Ocean)

Weird how they changed it.

I love the UK's voices though, apart from Vegeta's, he's is lame.

UK:

Vegeta's Voice - Terrible. What is he, Commander fing Cobra? Sssssss. Sssssssssssss. Look at me, I have a snakey voice, so I MUST be evil! SSSSSSSSSSSSsssssssssss.

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 grew up with them, being from the UK and all.

<.<

Yeah, watching both the English and American dub, I noticed a big diffrence. Not just with the music and dialogue, but actions. Also, the English version censored blood gushing from character's mouths. The jappanese version I havn't seen, but from the clip I already see the dialogue, music and scenes differ from the other versions. I wanna see the jappanese dubs. I'm intrigued now, looks interesting. Anyone know a website that shows them?

In UK Vegeta's sreams echoed...why? lol

Isn't that his original voice? When he first came to Earth? I haven't seen that in a while but I think it is. And Goku's voice sounds like it belonged to Ryu or something lol.


Oh yeah I loved the Japanese fight music lol

Same here. I still prefere the UK's themes though. I can get the american themes on the net, but I can't seem to find the UK dubbed themes.

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.

[Mowgli]

Oh I hated the original voice too lol I just wasn't sure if my memory was good or not.

Well you have to understand that DBZ was originally made in the 80s (and in a completely diffrent county) so you can expect quite a diffrence in music styles.

EDIT2: French voice acting is also terrible. I got to see it when our television station brodcasted one or two French episodes instead of the original Japanese. Lame...
