Late 90s translations were hardly the best in the business and we've come a long way with it since then. Funimation used to be a small company with only so much talent which is why you have ADR director Chris Sabat voicing half of the cast and the myriad of translation issues like Over 9000 and Gohan being 11 by the end of the Cell Saga. Now they put out one of the best dubs DBZ has gotten in the Kai dub and Freeza no longer sounds like chain smoking granny.

Also yes, I know the Ocean Group did the Over 9000 thing originally, but I'm sure Funimation also had this kind of problem with that line too.

gently caress you old school freeza loving owns.

Yeah whenever I caught kai on tv I always wound up quitting after like 10 minutes because I just spent the whole time going "Thats not Gohan/Bulma/Freeza/Cell/Hercule!"

I've been rewatching Dragonball from the beginning, it's like like going back and listening to early Eminem and realizing why your 12 year old self loved it. It's legitimately good. Incredibly strange too, episode one you have Goku's baby penis front and center and then the villain wants to kill a dog with a chainsaw. Episode two Goku sees a vagina for the first time and screams into it as loud as he can. I'm glad they managed to tone down the baby penis, now it only happens once or twice a season during flashbacks. That's still way too much baby penis holy poo poo.

dragonball is much better than eminem

Oh my lord.

Spoilers for F: Goku loses against Super Frieza, Vegeta steps in and does a good job, but Frieza destroys Earth and Vegeta dies because of it. Whis takes Goku back in time three minutes, Goku eats a Senzu Bean, and destroys Frieza with a Kamehameha.

Honestly, it doesn't sound too bad with the expansion on the quick recap.

Before he goes Golden, Freeza gets his rear end kicked

He goes Gold and starts winning.

It becomes clear that Golden Freeza has the same weakness as before(he has an issue with stamina fighting at max power)

Goku tries to take advantage of this but gets beaten by Golden Freeza (though part of it was being caught off guard by Sorbet)

Vegeta steps in and gives Goku a senzu and then fights Freeza instead.

Vegeta is winning but then Freeza blows up Earth thus killing Vegeta(Goku survives because he's over hanging out with Whis while watching Vegeta fight and he made a barrier)

Whis uses his power to go back 3 minutes in time so Goku can finish Freeza off with a Kamehameha before he gets to blow up Earth.


Settle down, nerds.

How do you feel about the parts in Dragonball (a "good show" in your opinion) where an old man pervs all over a 15-whatever year old Bulma? Or that part where she flashes her lady business at him?

Or the old man getting the crazy lady to prance around in underwear?

Im sure theres more, its been a while since Ive read Dragonball.

I dont really care about "little underage schoolgirl anime" but youre clearly holding the series you enjoy up on a pedestal.
