on note of the jap dub, imo it is far superior in every way to the funi dub, phat, you posted your example.... let me post 1,
Funi: buu just absorbed vegetto, he's flying around, he's hungry so he goes to the nearest city, and eats sum cakes, then flies off and throws a few ki blasts at buildings
Jap: buu just absorbed vegetto, he's flying around, he see's a city, starts flying through it and throws cars threw buildings, flys threw the builing, uses eye beams blowing up parts of the city, and throws ki blasts, and overall just destroys the city
you see thats the kind of stuff which people think dbz is just a stupid cartoon for, because the real intentions of the creators are changed, and thus it looks stupid. The dailogue in the jap version is much less baby talk where i dont need to be told what goku's going to do 50 times before he actually does it. Those stupid flashbacks that the characters have sometimes when its totally unessecary, and waists 10 mins of the show are not in the jap versions. I dont know why people dont like the voices in the jap version, they all have real personality, unlike the all mono sylabical tone deaf funi actors. Swearing is another issue, i myself find it dissapointing that vegeta doesnt talk like in the jap version, the swearing is always at the appropriate times, it isnt like he wants to swear evry other word, you see swearing is realistic, i dont know about you but if you thought the world was gonna explode, and we were all gonna be killed, i wouldnt say "darn it is there nothing we can do?" i'd be cursing and shouting my head off.
You see if you saw naruto full or dumb phrases, baby talk, un-needed flashbacks, edits in the animation, and all other changes to the show which funi did to dbz, yoiu wouldnt want to watch it as much, as 10 mins of evry ep would be useless crap you dont give a **** about. Naruto is fortunate it hasnt been mutilated by a huge corperate company out there just to make money, and to change the perception of the show. I dont know about you but i almost always prefer original versions of anything, because i feel that the creators intentions are communicated in the best way possible, and it shows you evrything with the original purpose behind it, instead of changing things that makes some situations stupid, because you arent fully aware of why or how it is ment to happen, scince changes in script do this a lot, i dislike many things because they have been changed, just take a look at 2 different subbed versions of 1 naruto episode, some of the differences in the translation, totally change the meaning behind some of the things they say. Personally if i compare dbz jap to naruto, i perfer dbz, if you compare the funi dbz to naruto, naruto wins hands down, you have no idea how much i hate the funi version.... but when you dont get jap eps easily its a problem, cuz ive lost a lot of interest in dbz cuz i cant find any jap eps. but yeah thats my opinion.
. I don't know maybe I'm cheesy but I always liked when they used the word fool, it made them sound more intelligent then calling them ****ing *******.
