@baby-boo:
They better show Goku at home with his family.
This, please. Goku is my favorite character but it wouldn't kill Toei/Toriyama to have him more scenes with his family. Perfect time for bonding scenes with Goten and Gohan, maybe playfulness with ChiChi
It'd be neat to have Pan and Bra cameos* down the road. (the latter looks exactly like Bulma and is Vegeta's daughter, you can't downplay that)
*is this series post Buu before Battle of Gods and the Tarble OVA? or post Buu following the manga's ending with Uub?
@Atuin:
I so remember watching Dragonball Z during my childhood. Watching the dub first has made me appreciate it more then the Japanese voice acting. Goku in the original Japanese sounded wrong on so many levels. I had never heard it before until the crossover with One Piece and Toriko. I was like :o omg he sounds like one of the Chipmunks!
I believe Toei decided to keep Masako Nozawa as Goku when his adult appearance came around (Piccolo Jr.), because fans were used to her performance as the lead? Plus she had voiced him for what, over 100 episodes by that point?
As someone who grew up with the dub as well, hearing Nozawa as adult Goku was definitely jarring, but it reflects his childlike personality and simple mind. I personally feel that no other seiyuu can be Goku at this point….so, here's hoping she lives to be as old as Doctorine (cookie if you get the reference)
On the other side of things, I don't think the voice fits as well for Bardock and to an extent, adult Gohan.
