Nozawa fits into Dragonball 100% perfectly. She's not a great voice actress by any stretch but she is Goku. I usually despise dubs of all sorts, but I'm pretty ok with the Dragonball one overall, but it's not something I'd ever choose to listen to given an option.

Funky Valentine posted:Nozawa isn't great but she sure as hell gets "innocently naive manchild who happens to be a combat god" across better than Schemmel. What I've gathered from a few things I read is that Schemmel came into the role with the idea in his head that Goku is a superhero. Which, at the time he got the role (Ginyu Force battle), was exactly what Goku was. Swooped in out of nowhere to save the day, protector of the innocent, all that stuff. Of course, after the Frieza Saga, Goku's superhero mode got to take a backseat for a while, and his goofy side emerged again. Schemmel still seems to mostly see Goku as a superhero, though. I think he does fine with the goofier stuff, but him trying to do serious time Goku is a little like Bale throwing on his gravely Batman voice.

I mean, I mentioned it earlier, but it doesn't get any more perfect for the role than the actual mangaka picturing you when he draws the manga. There's genuinely no argument to be had for Grannyku not being the epitome of Goku and right for the job. (The source for it's here: http://www.kanzenshuu.com/translations/akira-toriyama-masako-nozawa-special-talk/) Non-believers should bow down to our elderly overlord.

I don't mind Granny Goku, but I don't particularly care for it either. It's the Abridged crew I hear and prefer for most every character at this point. I don't know any of their names, but they knock it out of the park regardless, and whoever does Goku does a good job both as a heroic figure and a goofy idiot. Often at the same time. I don't even know what his proper English VA sounds like off hand.

There's genuinely no argument to be had for Grannyku not being the epitome of Goku and right for the job. I don't think the voice in his head would suddenly change when it's been the same for like 30 years. Also, considering he wanted Goku to make a drastic change from kid to adult, it only makes sense that his voice would also mature.

They are obviously set up for it, dubbing episodes like normal would be easier than what they already do. I also think they would do a better job with the lighter tone of Super.

I think Granny Goku works better overall than any of the Western dub Gokus. We're just used to those voices, is all. Goku on our side of the globe is Superman almost, original Goku is child-like hick that just so happens to be incredibly powerful. Also, I don't think the VA does a bad job with him at all, I don't know why you're saying she's bad - you want bad, listen to her Gohan. Gohan is really meh,

Why are there so many people who say they grew up watching the original Japanese Dragonball voice cast? Do all you guys live in Japan or what? People talk about how they grew up watching Nozawa but for me and I'm sure a ton of people like me we grew up watching Schemmel and the rest of the dub cast, so for us, they are the characters. As far as we're concerned, they "suit the characters" better than a bunch of women that voiced the characters as kids and never got replaced. I've gotten used to Granny Goku from watching Super subs though so it doesn't really faze me anymore.

I get why people will say there's filler, the stuff in between the main arcs with more standalone episodes, it's the same thing you'd expect from filler. The tournament definitely wasn't though.

Nozawa's performance has always felt samey no matter the mood. Schemmel has a relaxed Goku voice for the lighter moments, and the tough voice for when fight's go down, which works better for Goku's "light-hearted fool who only really cares when fighting is happening" personality.

People generally use filler to mean "episodes that have nothing to do with the main plot with low quality writing" regardless of whatever the term actually means. Technically DBS can't have filler, but there's definitely been some one-off stuff that wasn't great, like that three episode fake Vegeta thing. Even then, that arc was just bland and not offensively bad or anything. On the other hand, that ep of where Piccolo let Goku pretend he was the real grandpa for a day was probably the best ep of the show.

Goku doesn't take fighting seriously though. That's his thing, it's hosed him over a bunch too. (Cell, stalling against Kid Buu to give Vegeta a crack, The laser beam in Return of F where he lets his guard down) He enjoys it, it's fun to him. It's getting more and more to the point even where it's how he introduces himself to people. He only takes it seriously when things are totally hosed or the few circumstances when his loved ones die (Krillin, Goten/Chi-Chi in the Zamasu fight), at which point Nozawa puts on her serious Goku voice too.

Ammat The Ankh posted:Why are there so many people who say they grew up watching the original Japanese Dragonball voice cast? Do all you guys live in Japan or what? Unfortunately, there was a good chunk of time when the English dub had only caught up to the Freeza saga, and, understandably, it took time for the dub to work its way through DBZ. In the mean time, I wanted more, so I searched out the original show in Japanese, and found some websites that offered VHS fansubs. From that point on, I preferred the original Japanese cast and their interpretation of the characters. For example, listen to Japanese Cell. I thought the Japanese voice actor for Cell, Norio Wakamoto, did an outstanding job. I loved to hate him. He was everything a great villain should be! Vegeta, Piccolo, Krillin, Mr. Satan, and many others have suiting voices that I really enjoy, too.

Nozawa sells the different Gokus really well for me. Adult Goku, young Goku/Gotenks, Goku Black. She's really loving good at it. That said, I haven't really been feeling her DBS Gohan much. Maybe it's because of the show's writing of Gohan as more or less a non-character.  Dias posted:My favorite thing about DBS filler is that by definition it's impossible for DBS to have filler. I mean Goku vs Arale is pretty much filler. It's good filler, but you could remove it from the series and nothing would change (the same can't be said of the King Kai episode since it results in a state change for the Dragonballs and it informs us on the character dynamics between Beerus and Bulma with regards to time travel). e; Jedah posted:From that point on, I preferred the original Japanese cast and their interpretation of the characters.

Wakamoto Cell is THE reason DBZ sub wins over the dub. They could be equal in everything else, but this would totally tip it over on its own.
