Does anyone know where this image is from?

I found this image awhile back, and I'm still confused on where it came from. It has to be from DBGT or at least the end of DBZ because of the outfits presented (ie. Goku's bluish outfit), but I don't remember this from any episode. Or maybe it's just me ... can anyone verify where and what episode/...

tarsonis, yup... I feel the same way, too. The American version just gives me a weird feel compared to the Japanese version. The music interprets into the whole presentation and makes me view the American DBZ as a different anime-type series, but the Japanese is so satisfactory. I guess that's just ...

I just realized something that made me like the Japanese much more than the American. Again, it's back to the music, but I was watching some Funimation DBZ DVDs where you can switch back and forth between the dubbed and original versions, and I noticed that the American version always has music in e...

Oh I see.. Cool. I wish the Chinese version retained the same voices. :-)

Since we're on the discussion of voiceacting and dubwork... I've always wondered about something. Does anyone know if the same actor/actress who did Goku's voice in all the DBZ episodes and movies also does the same as ADULT / SSJ4 Goku in DBGT? I have never seen Japanese DBGT episodes, but in the C...

I don't mind the dub of either versions. Infact, the only thing I love is the music. I am absolutely in awe of the music in the original Japanese scoring of DBZ and GT. It captures the mood and feeling extremely well. I can listen to all of the soundtracks forever. Even the Butoden games (esp. Butod...

Oh I see. Hmm... I have never seen the openings of the Chinese versions of the DBZ episodes. I only have seen openings of the DBGT Chinese ones.

Huh? Chinese theme song? Whatcha' mean? I probably haven't heard of it. But if you're asking if the theme song is different for the Chinese version, it's not. They just use the same opening and ending song which is in Japanese.

VegettoEX is right. "Dub vs Sub" arguments are ridiculous. What I am trying to determine is the overall presentation and production that the Japanese and American versions give to us. So we can view as a total package in each of our individual's eyes and we will view it differently forming...

I agree that the Japanese voices can get annoying. But that's just coming from my viewpoint. It's not that I don't like Japanese voicework because I don't UNDERSTAND it. That would be an unfair judgement because you base your views then on the fact that you lack the language instead of why you parti...

Hmm...it seems Toei has indeed released DVDs of everything. I managed to find the Chinese version of the DBZ Episodes, and they're all still being released on DVD Box sets. But unfortunately, they're Region-2 DVD discs, and I can't seem to find any being sold right now in the US either--only Hong Ko...

Original Japanese or American version?

Hi everybody! I just wanted to know how many of you prefer the original Japanese version (or similar) or the American version. I grew up watching the Chinese-dubbed Japanese version with the original composition of music and uncut episodes of DBZ/GT and also the movie series. For me, I favor the Jap...
