Live and let live. At least things seem to be getting better.

Uhhhhh.........

That's not Saffron Henderson. As a matter of fact, that's not even the
new voice. That's EX playing a trick on us. Either that or someone
playing a trick on EX.

heh.

Pretty funny, though.

Although I would have waited until April fool's day.

This is great news! It seems my patience with FUNimation is finally beginning to
pay off.

Ms. Henderson will always be the best American voice for Gohan. Now, let's hope
that this is the start of a good trend. Maybe we'll see Ian Corlett return as Goku
(though the current VA is doing an excellent job as well), Scott McNeil return as
Piccolo (the current VA is just not the same), and Dave "Squatch" Ward return as
Roshi, King Kai, and Ox King (Ox King's current voice? Heh hehehahahahah....).
Believe it or not, I love Vegeta/Vegita/Vejita/etc.'s new voice. The new voice
makes Vegita sound a lot older (his performance in Wednesday's episode, "Trump
Card," was the best so far). Brian Drummond's voice seems to portray a younger
Vegita. Even Kuririn's voice has gotten better. The new voice actor makes Kuririn
sound older as well (but I will take Terry Klassen back any day). I am probably
one of the few who actually likes Freeza's dub voice.

The only thing left for FUNimation to do is hire a voice director who knows how
the attack names are pronounced.

I don't know, Chris. The WAVs do sound a lot like Saffron Henderson. The
quality of the recordings is pretty bad. I'll wait until someone out there
can verify this.

VegettoEX playing a trick on us?! Let's hope not.

It would be nice.

>(though the current VA is doing an excellent job as well),

I'm rather split on this. In terms of how his voice sounds, it's better than
Kelamis's and is around Corlett's. He show's that he has promise of being
great one moment and making a 180 degree turn the next line. His scream is
really cool, not counting that first one in Ginyu Assault. I just wish that at
times the Voice Director would go back and redo a couple scenes before it
becomes 'final', because he does show promise. Have you noticed he sounds fine
while he's talking to himself and when he gives the preview for the next
episode? Or at the end of 'Frieza's Boast', where he says, "Looks like you had
to use your hands after all". That line was perfect, yet look at he said his
lines while talking to Vegeta's spirit in this latest episode, as it sounds
like he's trying too hard. He's just such a mix of good and bad...

>Scott McNeil return as
>Piccolo (the current VA is just not the same), and Dave "Squatch" Ward return

>hehehahahahah....).

These two would be a God sent gift. I have gotten used to the new Piccolo
though. When he's not stressing, he actually sounds pretty good.

I have to agree with you, as I was pleasently surprised at his performance in
this episode.

>. Even Kuririn's voice has gotten better.

I also have to agree with you on this. For me it's now kind of weird to hear
Terry Klassen as Krillin when i go over the movies or some old tapes.

>I am probably
>one of the few who actually likes Freeza's dub voice.

Even though I wish they got a man to do his voice, this one has given a
good(not great, but it hasn't been terrible either) performance so far.

Yeah. So far, I hear Kamehameha pronounced as Kame'a'meha. It's like that one
'h' isn't being stressed as it should.

-Ronin Summer, part 1
For some reason the Sailor Senshi weren't as glad to see their traditional
rescuer as they normally would be. Perhaps it was due to the fact he was making
a total fool of himself on national television. It might have something to do
with his challenging someone who'd just wasted two of the Negaverse's finest
military commanders just few minutes ago. Or it could be that he'd been late
for the scheduled last minute rescue, which wasn't a good thing. Especially for
the ones who were supposed to be rescued. Either way, to say they were quite
miffed with him would be quite an understatement.

Ranma rolled his eyes heavenward for a moment and then interrupted the cliche
inspiration speech. "Lemmee skip the preliminary stuff and cut to the chase
scene. Are you by any chance an Alien Intelligence? A God? A Demon? Some
powerful supernatural fiend I've probably never heard of? A mage with a bad
taste in overpriced wedding garments? One of those master psychics that have
lost more then a few marbles? Or are you packing any 30th century firearms?
Carrying a weapon of considerable magical power by any chance?"

"Um...no."

"Then stop bothering me and go get a real job."

Tuxedo Kamen facefaulted, unfortunately for him he was leaning toward the wrong
side of the roof at the time. The watching Senshi winced as he hit the pavement
with an audible splat.

Heh, not to me. Maybe I'm wacked out on glue or something, but it sounds
like some kid with a PC microphone doing those wav's.

We don't have long to wait, anyway.

Note that one of the wav's is the line "You tell 'em Krillin!" (or
something like that). Kuririn dies on Monday's episode, meaning we will
hear this line either tomorrow, Friday, or Monday. If these are indeed
"advance bootleg copies" they sure aren't very timely.

I'll bet anybody here a thousand bucks that's not Saffron Henderson.
There are so many reasons why it can't be true.

You know, when I was watching yesterday's episode, I could have sworn for a
minute that it WAS Saffron Henderson... but then I heard the other voices. I
remembered that all of the VA's were new, and I went back to my mind numbing
homework : P

I agree with Chris. Saffron Henderson works through the Ocean Group and I think
they only do contract work, right?

Oooo goody.

-hasn't actually heard the voice, as he can't get on the web.

Welpers, I guess I'll hold off on the sekkupu.. you still can't come out of The
Land Where All Little Children Sound Like Saffron Henderson though, Laura. I
want to see how you feel about her after this.

I just heard them and they sound fake. FUNimation would never have no music for
that long.
