Yes . As someone who got used to the meh german version (and also the french one , that guy who voiced him realy stood out) , I can say that Freeza is the last thing I imagine with a female voice .
But he's soooo cute:

The way Sean was talking about this new Freeza voice… Oooh, this has got my attention.
@LUFFY#1:
Sorry for double posting but when the hell did all of you lucky birds figure this all out and why did he choose you guys? This is ticking me off alot…I wanna be in the click:getlost:
Rin had her sources, I had my own. Honestly, I'd rather not tell where I get my info as I do pretty much swear to secrecy whenever I am told or shown something. :P
I actually did not even see Kai's dub until AFTER the DVDs/Blu-Rays were released. I haven't even seen the Nicktoons version, yet.
And Robby, my comment to you earlier about Sean confirming a new voice was being used was in reference to the interview linked earlier. o_o Also, everyone going "YOU GOT OWNED!" do not speak for me. I had no intention on "owning" anyone or anything of the sort. I was simply clarifying information that was pretty much officially stated. However, because of everything being wonky, I opted not to exactly give away the info.
Errr…I am good I figured it out anyway, and got no one to correct me saying I am wrong..but without a doubt I KNOW it is Christopher Ayres...
She was great as Genaki on YYH, but just didn't fit at all on Dragon Ball Z. I mean, I understand they were trying to maybe give Freeza the creepy voice, but it ended up as what Genaki is, an old lady. And after seeing Genakai, I could never go back and watch Linda's Freeza
@Brad:
Aaaand we have confirmation that Freeza has a new VA:
FUCK. YES.
For real? This is just…. love! :wub:
You Piccolo fans can't complain. Try being a fan of Tenshinhan. At least Piccolo was still somewhat caught up with the Super Saiyans.
Ten stalled Cell long enough for Goku to show up.
Ten shot Buu's fireball and actually stopped it when Gohan was too afraid to move…
Tenshinhan's got a lot more love out of all the humans. You could argue Kurilin, but he was mainly the series' punching bag.

Nah. That'd be Yamcha.
Kuririn stayed alive the longest of the human Z Warriors. He married an attractive and strong woman, while having a child with her.
What happened to Yamcha?
-Killed by a Saibaiman, which was as strong as Raditz
-Lost Bulma, who later had the son of the guy responsible for his death
-Was the first to experience the enemy's power again, this time with an arm through his gut
-Was far outclassed by everyone, save for Chaozu
-Never married or had anyone go after him. Vegeta had Bulma, Kuririn had #18, and Lunch went after Ten. Yamcha had…Pu'er.
haha yamcha sucks
okay question, if you could have changed something or done something differently in this series what would it be?
I'd say I would have made the support characters (all of them) more important in DBZ) more roshi, bulma, yamcha, and tien I hate when series neglect their support characters who they built up to be part of the story (like naruto and sometimes reborn for example)
Bulma actually stayed useful through most of Z. Though Roshi was also admitting before Z that he was clearly outdone by his own students, which was pretty much acceptable for him. Though Yamcha, Tenshinhan and Chaozu did indeed get the short end of the stick.
It also might've been nice to see Yajirobe do more than bring Senzu after he cut off Vegeta's tail and sliced his back.
Poor Robby. He's so ashamed that he doesnt show his poochie face anymore…

And the real kicker? Pu-erh's a man. :p
okay question, who likes super saiyan 4?
I do. The design is pretty cool, and the idea of combining Super Saiyan and Ôzaru makes sense for a "next level of power."
It was more amazing when CN was still running the Boo saga over and over again. I still think it's cool, though.
If we're talking about the GT form , yeah it looks prety cool . On Goku . Pity he turns into a kid after using it .
Kien-Zen….ha! Thats not accurate right? Oh Well so much for Destructo Disk huh, they really need to decide on what they wanna use, i mean its all fine to me but sometimes it would help to know before hand.
No, the name is just 'Kienzan'…which Strait mispronounces.
hmmmm you would think they would get those kinds of things right….oh well.
I wanted to get my cousin into DBZ since he's started liking anime….... but $40 for 13 episodes, even if it's new that's.... not right, I never really bought anime before though is this how it usually is?
Before it was 20-30 bucks for 3-4 eps. I think 13 for 40 bucks is an awesome deal but make sure you look for low prices and don't pay MSRp. Also coupons are good too.

Is fye a bad place to look at, do you know any places that usually have good deals that I could look at
should I buy on the web I've never been a big fan of that though simply because I don't want people to find my credit card number
and I'm sorry if I sounded selfish there I've just never bought anime before and I'm running low on dough

Try TSRI, they only have Kai for 37$, that is the only store I use for anime. Or I guess you could try Amazon which should have it cheap also.

Buy the Dragon Boxes, they're around the same price with more content. Of course, you'd have to watched it subbed if you wanted a decent representation of the series.
The Dragon Boxes are Z though right?
@Kairouseki:

They are.
But Dragon Ball Z's better than Dragon Ball Kai. :p
How do you figure?
What would I have improved regarding DB? I'd say maybe keep the series more adventure-based with a link to the action and comedy it always had. The biggest problem Vegeta-arc on is that it seemed to forget the idea of sort of balancing the adventure and action sides of DB, thus with the focus on action leading to the characters more tied to the adventure concepts being screwed around with…except maybe Bulma. Maybe also not make the gap of power too stupid and obsessive forcing the humans and others to fall back-seat to the Saiyans/half-Saiyans.

FYE is a terrible place to buy anything new. They're always going to be the suggested retail price and then some. No one outside of FYE actually charges $50 for the sets.
Amazon's a far better choice.

@Kairouseki:
How do you figure?
Music, visuals (none of those terribly 'redrawn' shots), voice acting (as far as the Japanese version is concerned), and I'd offer even pacing on most occasions. Dragon Ball Kai rushes through a lot of events and rarely does scenes the justice Dragon Ball Z did.
Feel like asking, what's a good fansub group to use for DB Kai?
Holy Crap! Holy Crap Holy CRAP!!
I Just WON a free copy of Dragon Ball Kai on Blu-ray through FUNimation's contest with the con news website!
Holy Crap this is so cool!
Fuck. Congratulations.
I'm a bit late to the party, but I'm really looking forward to hearing Frieza's new voice. It's good to know that the guys over at Funimation have learned from their past mistakes when it came to dubbing DBZ, and realize just how miscast Linda Young was for that role. I thought for sure they'd chose Wendy Powell (Envy from Fullmetal Alchemist). That voice would fit Frieza more than Young, but they already confirmed that it's a male. I hope his new voice is as fitting as Sean claims it is.
@Senshi:

God no. Do not want. Envy's voice is fine for him, but definitely not Freeza. It'd just be ANOTHER attempt at copying the original dub voice.

I hate it. fuck GT

hmmm i'd keep it the same up till the begining of the android arc. I would have given yamcha a slightly better fighting chance before gero punctures him. Have Tien fight 19 make the first part of the fight look like tien's got it in the bag than have 19 beat him to have vegeta show up in SSJ form already. flash back would than show to explain vegeta's transformation. Vegeta kills 19. Immediately after this goku succumbs to the heart disease get's taken back to his home and gero makes an escape. During that entire period of time I'll have gero fight each one of the z fighters even if very temporarily. After that I'd keep the rest intact except make the cell games a tad bit longer, hell give cell a power that's alot like the cell jr's but have them be full replica's of himself (not child lookalikes) with half of his power fighting and keep gohan and goku's fights with the real cell intact.
These whatifs can get complicated, because to gain some elements you would have to lose others. For example Dragonball would still be as amazing overall if Toriyama had his way and ended it with the Freeza arc. Goku would have avenged all who needed to be avenged and that would have been satisfying. My fave saga is the Freeza saga anyway.
However we wouldn't have had all the awesomeness of the Cell and Buu arcs. I would have liked to have seen Mystic Gohan destroy Buu, but I loved the original ending anyway.
I never realy liked the Buu arc . I found Buu to be anoying , horribly designed and the whole arc was a terrible send off to Dragonball , especialy how it turned into a yet another of "raw raw fight da powerhouse" .
I loved the original DB more then the Z parts because arcs just became all about fights and not at all about story of characters . The world/universe was never realy explored , as no interesting new locations were shown , as no real intricate plots of twists came around after the WTF moment at the begining and all in all it just lacked depth for me .
Can anyone here even name an interesting new place that was explored in Z ? And before you say Namek , it's literaly just hills , trees and shrubs with little white hutts .
Early Dragonball is underrated for sure, especially when people desire pure action. Volume 9 for example is an absolute gem and is easily one of my top 5 manga volumes ever, the one where Goku and co have to fight in a monster tournament.
The only reason I have for liking them on par , somewhat , is that it has Goku as a
MAN (punches something) .
I do not realy like preteens as heroes in manga .
@No:

The Afterlife. Serpentine Road, Kaio's world, the celestial hierarchy, etc were all pretty imaginative and interesting.
But Toriyama pretty much set the standard for that, otherwise we would JUST have manly men (Fist of the North Star) or bishie men (Saint Seiya) or manly bishie men (Jojo). In any case they would be obviously physically mature men.
It just makes the underdog thing look like a bigger thing really.
Not realy sure how Kaio's plane twas all that interesting . It was fun for a minute yes but…..look at these other places .
Raditz arc : random forrest
Sayian arc : random rocky wasteland
Namek . random Namek
Androids : a few random places
Cell : random places , the vastly white and contentless room of spirit and space and an artificial tournament platform in a rocky wasteland .
Buu : random places ending up in the green and uninteresting god realm .
@ FLG : I just stil hate that kind of shit when a little kid gets in a fight with a realy huge guy and effortlessly floors them due to hype , simply cause it's so overused . I would so love the random guy to actualy turn out to be an arc boss and troll the main character once in a while .
To be fair No maam shonen protagonists tend to train like hell. Historically I know this is a matter of debate, but whether Bruce Lee was as strong as Ali or Chuck Norris doesn't matter, he was still amazing for the body size he had.
Goku was beaten several times, like any decent protagonist. OK some of that was deception or whatever but we all know the bad guys by lore have the ability to cheat. Just makes it sweeter when the hero wins. On that note I gotta leave the library now, should be on tomorrow at some point.

Fun Fact: This guy still likes Naruto.
@JERK:

I like naruto still…..... :sad:
it's not as bad as you guys make it out to be, if I read a chapter before I read your guys opinions it's fine, I mean listen to some one bash enough and anything can sound bad, I do hate sasuke though I hate everything about him, but i think once the fight against killer bee started it got good again, not part 1 good, but good enough
much better than bleach
I still like Naruto, whos keeping track?
