Stab in the Back, New DBZ Dub

My god.. if you EVER thought that you knew what the worst dub in the world could sound like... you know NOTHING!!!

the 'stab in the back' that i'm refering to, is the newest dbz movie dub of movie 9 (no known eng. title, japanese title seems to be 'Bojack'), it's so godaweful, that i consider this dub to be a stab in the back of all the people that have EVER supported the US release of Dragonball/Z/even GT

the eng dub is not released yet as far as i know, it just so happened that luck (or mis-fortune) smiled (or frowned) upon me and blessed (or cursed) me with a sample of the newest release, so yes, i have heard BOTH the english and japanese version and let me tell you... there is no contest between the two options

...i think the best voice actor in this english dub was one of the announcers.. even the random crowd calls were badly dubbed

the ONLY good thing i can say about the english version is that it kept all the japanese sound fx and background music

if anyone thinks they are brave (or foolish) enough to try and sit through this movie like i did, i welcome the challenge, just find me on msn messenger or just PM me and we can work out something

--
i will say this though, i didn't see any kind of label anywhere, so it's POSSILBE that somebody fan-DUBBED the sucker, considering that NONE of the voices sound like the regular english VA's, its very possible

it's also sorta neat to note that this dub actually makes use of child actors for gohan (probably the only child in the movie) ... but sadly uses an even more childlike voice for a character who is simply short... not young

And for those of you out there that hate Goku's high-pitched voice, well FEAR NO MORE! goku is here with an all new deeper voice... beware

Out of curiosity, was it dubbed by Blue Water Studios? I know that guys from England and Canada gets shafted big time with the mediocre dub of Dragonball/Z/GT.

you know what?... that's VERY possible, there were a LOT of accents in the character's voices... my friend, you've given me renewed faith!!!

in that case, i really can't stand to have that version on my computer, so i just deleted it, sorry if anyone was actually gonna try to get it from me, it's gone now, unless you can find where it is i got it from, but otherwise, good riddens

wow... i can't begin to describe the emotional rollar coaster i just experienced in the last hour or so... glad it's over though... for now

Do any of you know when the next two DBGT tapes come out?

... ..
no, but if you ask any store that usually carries it, they always have a binder with the announced release dates, asking them would be ur best bet

i think an alternate solution to buying DBGT vids would be to flush your money down the toilet and then start sticking sharp objects in your ass. its much more entertaining.

any dbz sub by funimation productions is a stab in the back. i remeber watching dbz on the upn network with almost perfected english dubs, ah those were the days, before anime became mainstream.
