More important than Freeza's voice is actually Gohan's voice.
His innocence and vulnerability was the heart that drove Dragonball Z, and making him (quote the Dub's producers) a "tough Milhouse Van Houten" simply dosen't cut it. If anything, the performance in the hopeful re-dub should be more like the soft, gentle and sweet Oliver Twist from the 1950's version of Oliver! The English voice actress of Mikuru (of Suzumiya Haruhi) and Hinata (from Naruto) would be perfect for the improved dub Gohan. Even as a teenager, she could just deepen the voice a bit and still have him sound sweet and boyish, like the "Daniel from th Karate Kid" performance they gave Ranma's male voice in the early 1990's dub. Let's hope Funimation dosen't stuff up the re-do as well.

You missed the point of his post. He seems to say that Gohan's voice is worse than Freeza's voice.
DBK. I really didn't finished or completed watching DBZ. I only watched fragments of episodes, which are not bad. Good to hear they are remaking it. |

Trailer's been released. This is actually SD Project's subtitled trailer, but we're having some problems getting the torrent out, so this'll have to do for now. Yes, the group is still alive. Just they haven't released much...
Actually, speaking of which, how is AnimeSuki going to treat this series? Although the footage does come from Dragonball Z, it technically isn't DBZ, as Toei is pushing it as a new product/series. Not to mention, it's a complete re-edit and rerecording of the series. Just wonder if you guys will post the torrents or not... EDIT: Okay, torrent is out.

That being said, I hope they'll keep the filler-shots and padding in SOME moments. For example, Gohan's transformation towards the end of the Cell-saga was amazing, and I definitely don't want them to change anything about that... Well, except the higher quality audio, but if they replace Unmei no Hi with some other music, I can't possibly imagine the scene being anywhere near as good as it was in Z.

I was referring to how quickly you can READ THROUGH a chapter, not how much time it would take in animated form. But still, there are plenty of chapters that could be accurately adapted into like, 5 minutes worth of footage at most.

Personally, I think 150 episodes sounds okay. Have you actually read the whole manga? If you have, I have a question for you. How many pages did each chapter roughly have? I've never owned the manga and so I'm asking you this question.

Each chapter had about 15 pages each. And yeah, I've read it all... Though it was the norwegian version, which has some of the most awful translations I've ever seen in a professional release. But the actual page-number isn't what's important here. The important thing is that the artwork is presented in such a way that you can get through one chapter in no time at all, and there's very little that actually happens in each one. (I just pulled out volume 34 of the manga... The first chapter can basically be summed up as "Goku and Cell fight. They increase their power. They fight some more. Mr. Satan and the other viewers stare with disbelief. Chapter ends.")
