Sadly, compared to Toei's other long-running series like Pretty Cure & the recent Yu-Gi-Oh!-sequels, Super's quality is 'average' to 'barely-good' at best. But thank god it's not as bad as the most recent Digimon TV-series.

I'm still holding out hope that Gohan will at least not suck too much when Beerus makes his move. The odds aren't great, but I can pray for any little moment of glory .
Hilarious ep with Vegeta. Was nice that he actually kept his promise from DBZ and was willing to endure this family outing. Certainly not anywhere near friendly, but at least he didn't kill anyone. If Vegeta wants to keep his #2 status he'll really need to keep up the training. Luckily his only real competition for that spot is Gohan and he almost always gives up that position due to slacking off the physical training.

...But yeah, he sounds really bad here. Not sure if Yanami was sick or if it's just age (the man's 83, for goodness' sake!) but his performance has been REALLY weak in this show so far. It's honestly to the point where I wonder if it would have been better if they just recast him.

I'm curious, what do today's Japanese kids and teenagers say about adult-Goku's voice? Do they genuinely like it or they don't really care because that's how adult-Goku always sounds?

It sounds blasphemous. Really, this is just the product of the expectation that Goku should sound all manly and shit, but once you're used to it, Nozawa IS Goku. And in a sense it fits much better his childish nature. With Kaio, however, it was actually a pretty bad voice work. It wasn't a matter of the voice not fitting, just that it lacked energy and interpretative quality.

Well, a man has his own opinion after all .

I often see this used as a defense of those who like Nozawa for adult-Goku. But the thing is, adult-Goku doesn’t even sound like a man at all (let alone manly-man, as far as my experience goes). He sounds like my Grandma (which what Nozawa is at this point in her life. A granny). Watching DBZ/GT/Super feels like I’m watching my Nana voicing adult-Goku, which is amusing in itself, but that’s not the kind of entertainment I seek from DB . Heck, even Kenshin’s effeminate voice in Samurai X still sounds more like a man than adult-Goku’s. Seriously, hearing adult Goku’s voice makes me appreciate the local Indonesian-dub even more. The Indonesion VA at least able to bring the inner child in Goku but can still sound like a man, not a granny. I can’t wait for the Indonesian or English-dub of Super. I bet I’ll enjoy it better. Right now, I'm following Jap-dub of Super just to follow the story.

I prefer Schemmel to Nozawa, but I've gotten used to her voice and can't see anyone else voicing Goku in Japanese. Her kid voices are great stuff though.
King Kai's voice sounds like he's on his last legs. I can't remember what his voice was like in earlier years and I'm not sure if that voice is just a part of his character, but I agree it sounds off. |

The thing is, Nozawa was specifically cast by Toriyama. He has stated that Nozawa is how Goku should sound in his mind. And even if you don't like her voice, it's hard to deny she has maintained the same energetic character now for decades, as well a wide range in age of others in the Son family.
