I'm always skeptical of dubbing, especially something so pun-heavy etc as SZS. Many of the jokes just won't transfer over.
Del Ray made the manga work, though it required like 10 pages of translator's notes at the back and they still lost quite a few of the puns (as far as I can tell), but it was a very good job nonetheless. I'll be more interested to see how they take some of the more visual puns.

I still probably won't watch it though - Yank accents really grate on my ears, for the most part.

Anyway, I am also a Matoi/Itsohiki fan to some degree, and that falling scene is awesome, especially in Goku.
