I'm sorry for saying such slanderous things in the past. I did not know the error of my ways.

Recently I started watching it out of boredom (and disgust for Funimation) and it's actually... really fucking good. There is a quiet ambience to it that really adds to the show. The dub by comparison is obnoxiously noisy and chatty. There's not a quiet moment as the soundtrack plays nonstop, and the script... no real nice way to say this, it's a joke. Not even close to an accurate translation as they consistenly changed lines and added in little adlibs and jokes that weren't in the original.

The sirens during the explosion are haunting, gives me chills everytime I watch it.

The only thing I don't really like is Goku's voice. Other than that, it's great!

English dub of final explosion is so much better

What kind of example is this.

I don't deny this. I spend a lot of time thinking about a 20+ year old show, lol.

I will admit in this case both scenes are done well. I just prefer the Japanese.

LMAO, what the fuck are you smoking, tc?

The Japanese version was boring as fuck. Funimation improved that scene with Bruce Bruce Falconer. I'm glad that they did away with that shitty circus music.

What's worse is she voices all the Go's. I know they wanted Goku to retain his childlike innonence or whatever but I just don't care for it.

Of course it is. This isn't even debatable.

Also imagine liking that trash American sound track.

RaTATATATATATATATATATA honestly would rather shoot myself than listen to Japanese Goku. Probably the absolute worst voiced character in any sub out there.
You got me tc merry Christmas.

I've never watched the sub, but it sounds like it uses the same kind of music as the original Dragon Ball and that's cool.

I still could never watch it because of Goku's voice. That is indefensible. In the original series I can kind of undertand it since he's a kid in most of it, but once he became a teen and later adult the voice needed to change. It's ridiculous. Imagine dub DBZ Goku having DB's kid Goku/Gohan voice. It would be laughable, but of course original Japanese stuff gets a pass.

OP, if you're watching a sub of the JP and not watching it raw, how can you say you "enjoy the original" in earnest?
