Mozilla Firefox Favourite Manga Dragon Ball	Funimation got a lot of things wrong with original "dub". If incosistent and immature dialogue wasn't enough, they changed character origins, character names, music and the overall atmosphere. I feel like Funi and Ocean fans alike should watch English subs of Japanese as well, looking beyond the voices you don't prefer. You should get an idea of what the original Dragon Ball Z is. Japanese FTW!

Favourite Manga dat boi	I've always liked the Funi dub because it's what I grew up with, but I've recently begun to appreciate the Japanese version more since I started watching every other anime subbed. The Funi dub may have a lot of nostalgic value for me, but it got a lot of things wrong with DBZ, so I can't really say it's the best. I plan on rewatching the show in Japanese and see which I like better overall.

Favourite Manga dat boi	I actually think it's kind of cool and unique to see a character like that, with big muscles and a high-pitched voice. It's kind of cute and different from the norm, which makes it sort of appealing in a way. I get sick of hearing the same old mid-ranged Japanese male voices for every single character. It's nice to hear a change, especially when it's such a unique one.

King Cold, Dabura, Buu, Mr. Satan, Cell, Piccolo, Trunks, 17, 16, etc. I could add that Frieza doesn't sound like a Granny and King Cold doesn't sound like a pedophile. How much of the Japanese version have you watched? Edited by Ani-Nation, Aug 19 2011, 04:17 AM.

How much of the Japanese version have you watched? Agreed. I must say that I like Trunks' Japanese voice way more than his English one. It just makes him sound... sexier. You forgot King Kai. His voice is drastically different. Not sure which I prefer, though.

Favourite Manga dat boi	Thanks for using Trunks as an example! <3 Love his Japanese voice. I honestly had a hard time listening to the English dub after watching the Japanese version. Frieza's voice is really grating to me. It makes me want to cringe. Seriously. The music was cool and all, but it wasn't as "authentic," if that's even the right word to use. Everything about the English dub in that scene just seemed a little over the top to me.

Mozilla Firefox Favourite Manga Dragon Ball	Horikawa Ryou-san is my favorite. He has the best voice of all of them. Brian Drummond can capture Vegeta's anger, Chris Sabat (only in Kai) captures his borderline arrogance, but Horikawa is absolutely the best. He captures the essence of Vegeta, there's a reason why Toriyama-san handpicked most of the Japanese cast

Ocean's voices are not really my type. Funimation is more happy while Ocean are some boring,serious voices. Japanese sounds werid , like all characters screams like a girl lol.

Especially Freeza, Cold, and Trunks.
