If Dragon Ball Super is part of that, that is going to be HUGE.
Though... they didn't simulcast Kai so who knows if they'll get it.
Isn't DB Super for September?
EDIT: Nope, guess not. July 5.

I remember when that show was announced as traditionally animated. A lot of people lost interest when it became CGI.

From what I've heard, the 2D animation stuff is going to be a web series of some sort(?).
I can see why they went for the CG/realistic look to appeal to international audiences.

Frieza's voice sounds like a fan dub

That's Chris Ayres, the voice on Kai.

Goku shouldn't be voiced by an old lady, but Frieza should be.
Goku shouldn't be voiced by an old lady, but Frieza should be.
Makes zero sense. Especially when you hear Ryusei Nakao's performance, he sounds nothing like an old lady.
I do think someone younger should play Goku, to reflect his innocence and naivety a bit more.
Also, why won't Oda allow a young man to play Luffy? He's 17, the woman voice really only works in Japanese. Clinkenbeard does a decent job but still...
I don't think he/they actually understand that though.Also, why won't Oda allow a young man to play Luffy? He's 17, the woman voice really only works in Japanese. Clinkenbeard does a decent job but still...

I should correct myself. It's not Oda really, it's more Toei.
You're right though, they probably don't understand that English vocal range is much more different.
Women are fine when playing young boys or early teens. But once you hit 16, a man is a better option.
Someone working with Funi stated they wanted Eric Vale to play Luffy, but Toei said "no".

Because voice acting in Japan, especially for long running characters like Luffy or Goku, are legacy kind of things and those voice actors are the character until they die. Voice acting is a way bigger thing in Japan then pretty much anywhere else.

DIO has been voiced by a lot of people over the years but Koyasu is the best, this is me putting him over Norio Wakamoto who voiced DIO in the Drama CD
And I love Wakamoto

I have the same complaint for Naruto.Makes zero sense. Especially when you hear Ryusei Nakao's performance, he sounds nothing like an old lady.

He constantly sounds like someone losing their voice.
I'm not usually one to weeb over Japanese voice acting, but the JoJo dub can't possibly touch Koyasu's Dio voice. Even if they got literally the best possible person on Earth to do the voice, it still can't come close because Koyasu was literally made to voice Dio.
I agree. Same with Sugita as Joseph. I'm not expecting any of those voices to be topped, but I'll be satisfied if Ben Diskin and Patrick Seitz(if he's still voicing Dio) does a decent job.
Seitz was just an odd choice. And I really don't know why he wasn't just doing Luke Valentine again, since that's by far the most fitting voice for Dio in his reportiore. Unfortunately, Crispin Freeman is basically an impossibility due to union stuff.I agree. Same with Sugita as Joseph.

Good point... voice actors in Japan are treated like actual celebrities instead of second class citizens like the West.
Now I'm wondering what they'll do when Nozawa dies. Not only is she Goku, she's also Gohan, Goten, and Bardock.

I think MasakoX is a better Goku than Sean.
Yes, I said it.
There is likely no male voice actor who could pull off a convincing Luffy voice.
I've heard clips of Vale as Luffy, and it was.....ehh, not very good.

I know in that brief fake-out they did before Hellsing Ultimate Abridged, KaiserNeko played Luffy. It was just one line so not enough to gauge.

Not necessarily. I'm sure there are male voice actors who can deliver a high-pitched, young voice.
But most of them are probably kids themselves and will outgrow the role.

It has less too do with the pitch and more to do with how much the voice fits the character.
Example: Franky's Japanese and English voice are night and day, but both fit the character well enough.

Hmmm...not sure what to think.
It works for a parody dub, I guess.
And it's time for me to watch Hellsing Abridged.
Agreed. I think if Funimation tried to replicate the JPN voice (i.e what Aniplex did for some of the females in Kill la Kill, though they pulled it off amazingly), it would've sounded rather annoying. Some voices don't translate well if you speak them in a different language.It has less too do with the pitch and more to do with how much the voice fits the character.

I mean, imagine if they tried to replicate JPN Goku's voice in English.

Kazuki Yao sounds awesome... but he doesn't translate well.
Franky's supposed to be a tough yet flamboyant pervert, and having a really nasally voice in English won't convey that.
FLCL is the go to example of a sound alike dub, though KlK is very good at this as well.
I still can't get over how spot on Nonon is in the dub. It is eerie!

It's fine. I think the Japanese cast is pretty much flawless, I think every character is picked by Oda himself. It might be the same for the dub, the dub is pretty good too.

Okay. Hellsing Abridged is hilarious.
