They turned Mr.Popo into a bad ass, I wonder what the series would be like if Mr.Popo was the way TFS portays him.
It's the TeamFourStar Thread with DBZ Abridged and Pokemon things

I'm still waiting for them to get back to the subplot where Raditz escaped.

@RobbyBevard:
Its cause Lani, while doing a voice, is talking normally. Acting, if you will. Chris puts on a fake voice is still doing an over the top character, even 10 years later.
The scariest part is, all the abridged guys are doing imitations of the Funi cast… and doing it better! (YuYuHakusho abdridged had much the same going for it... with one guy doing ALL the voices... and sa perfectly spot on Yuuske and Kuwabara.)
I mean, yeah, the Funi group has gotten better over the years, but its kinda sad when a ragtag group can do the same voices on the same characters so much better and so naturally in such a short ammount of time.
Goku, (especially Goku) Vegeta, Piccollo, Krillin, Gohan, Nappa (But again, playing it totally different)and arguably Bulma are all as good or better than their Funi voices. Some like Freeza and Dodoria and Zarbon and Dende are over the top for comedy purposes, but are pretty great too.
Yamcha and Tienshinhan are whatever, but they're disposable and they knew it, so it doesn't really matter... and they were pretty good too all the same. And Mr. Popo....
What the hell are you talking about? I will give you Schemmel, who is an awful voice actor, but Sonny Strait and Colleen Clinkenbeard are fantastic voice actors. Hell, even VegettoEX praised Strait's Krillin. Sabat's current Piccolo is also just him using his natural voice so I think you're massively underrating the FUNi (Kai) cast.
-
And I haven't watched any of dubbed Kai.
Just the reruns that were on tv for years, (which included the redubbed first seasons that they did not all that long ago) and the video games. They've been not very good and very over the top for a very long time, I can't imagine Kai being incredibly better than what they did for the first 8 years.
Who's Colleen Clinkenbeard?
But, allowing for personal preference. It doesn't change the fact that a ragtag group of fans are doing at least as good as guys who have been doing it professionally as their careers for ten+ years.
-
@RobbyBevard:
Who's Colleen Clinkenbeard?
She's Luffy.
Oh in DBZ Kai? She's Gohan. -
So not the voice that was Gohan for all those years then?
Haven't heard her in either role, so I can't judge. But, anything is bound to be an improvement on that.
-
Clinkenbeard took over Gohan in their dub of Kai (and video games starting with this years releases). Apparently Nadolny wasn't asked back. Or Vollmer (FUNimation's Bulma for 1999-2009). Sabat gave Bulma to Monica Rial (FUNimation Tashigi).
But yeah, TFS can thank its great voice acting to Kaiser Neko. Kaiser was raised on the original Japanese version so he's not afraid of defecting from the FUNi dub's archtypes. MasakoX also modeled his Gokû on Masako Nozawa (big surprise, I'm sure) so that also explains why he isn't doing a painful and over-the-top performance.

@RobbyBevard:
Yamcha and Tienshinhan are whatever, but they're disposable and they knew it, so it doesn't really matter
Actually, listen to Yamcha during the Season 3 days and Tenshinhan during the Seasons 1 and 2 days. TFS' voices were meant to imitate them, judging by Yamcha's surfer lingo and Ten's overly stiff acting.

@robby: In case you want to hear a short clip of Clinkenbeard's Gohan, here it is.

As for TFS vs. Funi cast, yeah, I think TFS is definitely better at what they do than Funi. However, if TFS was to play the characters straight and do actual dubbing of the show…well, I could be wrong, but somehow I doubt it would work (except for maybe Lani).
-
Nappa's voice in TFS is beyond amazing.
-
@robby: In case you want to hear a short clip of Clinkenbeard's Gohan, here it is.
Okay, that's IS quite a bit better than what they'd been doing. New Gohan voice is improved, definitley. And Krillin seems to have leared to act between the season 1 redub, the last video game, and now. What the hell. Goku is still pretty bad though.
However, if TFS was to play the characters straight and do actual dubbing of the show…well, I could be wrong, but somehow I doubt it would work (except for maybe Lani).
I'm sure they'll eventually dub an episode seriously just to see what that would be like.
But yeah. Lani is awesome.
-
Just a reminder for the Ginyû Special Squad:
Takahata101 (Nappa): Ghurd
Gan (Tenshinhan): Reacoom and Jheese
Kaiser (Trunks, Kaiô, Greggory): Burta
Antfish (Dodoria): Ginyû -
Even though Freeza got a new, much better dub actor in Kai, I think Kuriboh's Freeza is fantastic.
LittleKuriboh is pretty much the greatest English Freeza ever. Not that that's really saying much, considering how Linda Young was… yeah...

WHOA! that gohan sounds like a little kid…which is what he was suppose to sound like all along, I seriously need to start watching Kai.

I couldn't stand Linda Young as Freiza.
-
While it's the next episode preview, still a good display of Freeza's new voice in Kai's dub:

I must be the only one who likes Schemmel here. And Gohan and Frieza's older voices more.
Oh well..

What, no love for Chris Ayres? I know LittleKuriboh is the best Freeza voice, but-

Well…..I actually kinda liked those three voices, but the re-dub of Kai and TFS make me see the much better voices.

oO
Damn, that's a good voice. -
What, no love for Greg Ayres? I know LittleKuriboh is the best Freeza voice, but-
Greg Ayres plays Ghurd. Chris Ayres plays Freeza. :p
-
@Yuugi's:
Greg Ayres plays Ghurd. Chris Ayres plays Freeza. :p
facepalm
Whoops. Heh, my bad. I meant Chris. ^^;;
-
Am I the only one that thinks dub Kai Freeza sounds like a terrible fan dub? =\
-
Did anyone hear that TFS is making an announcement about One Piece soon?
-
According to the description, this is part of an upcoming Team Four Star project. Please keep your excitement until an official announcement.

Lani has such a nice singing voice.

That was horrible….just horrible.
We still have TFS's 'ghost nappa' & 'make a man out of you' to fall back on though.

New episode is up.

Honestly, one of the best episodes in a while. Loved the Wheel of Death bit, as well as Guldo.
-
And it was awesome.
Love the bit at the end where they show what Vegeta was really saying.
-
Loved that they used "F" for Freeza's Scouter. For those who might not get the joke:
Anw6b4Eo6wwIt's a heavy metal Japanese song dedicated to Freeza, while trying to not outright make a connection with Dragon Ball (while also blatantly doing so at the same time).

Spaice Austrailia .

best episode since the first season

I love old spice commercials

New episode is up.

That was wicked awesome. I especially loved the fact the frieza wanted his ringtone to be [f] by Maximum the Hormone.

Well, we've gotten our announcement… it's not exactly what we expected.

@Nomur:

Actually, it is what we expected. Its why I closed the OP Abridged thread when the announcement was first made and was cautious about reopening it, it seemed like the sort of prank they'd pull.
As for Hellsing? I'm pretty indifferent to it.
-
Good episode. I feel like there were a bunch of times where I started to smile watching the Ginyu Force, ready and about to laugh… and then nothing funny would happen. So hopefully they step it up with their ridiculousness next episode.
-
" i'm a real fucking vampire"
-
The dog biscuit parts killed me. That and space Australia.
-
Go Space Broncos.
-
Looks like Toei did their usual pulling of an episode to evaluate and bring it back within a month. So if you missed the chance seeing it on YouTube, might wanna check TFS' site for the recent DBZA episode.
The Hellsing Abridged episode was fucking priceless, though. I'm kinda hoping they do more.

That Leprechaun joke was killing me

Same here. Of course, it probably doesn't help that every time I hear that accent, the first thing that comes to mind is Scrooge McDuck. I'm officially fucked up.
-
I don't remember scrooge mcduck sounding like a catholic vampire stabbing bad ass
-
Abridged Anderson is better than canon.
-
it was very good , i laughed a lot
-
I watched and loved it. I especially loved the part with Ghost Nappa and Vegeta. This was hilarious but a special about Vegeta being visited by 3 ghosts on Christmas would've been even better.
-
Just the concept alone of that Christmas special was ingenious. Loved it.
