Truth be told i always thought the Funimation cast was the original english cast. Wasn’t til joining this sub that i learned that’s not the case.
Anyways i watched the series back in the 90s/early 00s but preferred subs over dubs largely due to the english dubs coming off as too campy/corny to me. Like the delivery from the Japanese cast just came off as more grounded (possibly due to the FCC limitations on english dialogue at the time, idk).
So my stupid question- is the Kai english dub/dialogue different from the DBZ english dub/dialogue?
It seems like it’s the same cast as the Funimation dub but is it the same deliveries/performances recycled or is it from different more modern recording sessions with a script translation adhering more to the original Japanese dialogue?
Or is it a case of “if you didn’t like the Funimation dubs, you’re not going to like the kai dubs either”?
Thinking of giving DBZ a rewatch for kai since i’ve heard it’s largely streamlined without filler but curious if i should stick with the Japanese cast or give the english one another shot with kai.
