Know what annoys me most of all? The voices.
Gohan, he sounds like a baby. Goku, he sounds too tough, it doesn't suit him. Piccolo, he sounds too.. robotic. Krillin, this is the worst. He's the same age as Goku (I think), yet he's voiced by a little kid. Why the hell do they do this stuff?
And what's the deal with Goku's little staff thing in the opening credits?
But! One thing I like is the music in the opening scene lol, "ee dai, cuckoo mon, dah dah dah, fly awayyyy (fly awayyyy)" I love it lol.

If you ever have the opportunity to listen to the "head-cha-la" theme, do so. It's ridiculously catchy.

Krillin, this is the worst. He's the same age as Goku (I think), yet he's voiced by a little kid. The dubbers hired to do the movies were obviously idiots. They saw Krillian and thought: "Aww, cute little bald kid! 0.0" When, in actual fact, Krillian's just short for his age. Cha-la-la! Head-cha-la! Hoi-si-ka-ra-hai! Dammit! Stop wriggiling! ;D

Actually, Krillian is a year older than Goku.
And as for the staff, that was used in Dragonball when Goku was a kid, and it was associated with the early episodes of DBZ, around the Saiyan Saga.
But speaking of voices, in DBZ: Budokai 2 on the PS2, all the characters have the same actors as the American cartoon, which is alright because it adds to the atmosphere.
However, on the GC version, the one I have, they're dubbed in Japanese, claiming that it's "A new feature - EXCLUSIVE TO NINTENDO GAMECUBE!" and they sound rubbish. Goku is really whiny and high pitched, and Vegita, the guy with the coolest voice in the series, sounds like a homosexual - totally inappropriate!

Vegita, the guy with the coolest voice in the series, sounds like a homosexual - totally inappropriate! Lol. I can imagine that "Kakarott, I will go further than you ever have!" Lol. @ Dave and Azel: Toonami of Europe did something utterly pathetic and stupid. From the Saiyan to the Trunks Sagas, they simply got tapes from Toonami of America. The Saiyan and Namek Sagas were dubbed by Pioneer. Then, by the Captain Ginyu Saga, Toonami of America hired FUNimation to do the dubbing job, and continued to do so all the way through. Zero, I don't mean to sound rude here. But what was your point? (If things aren't simplified I get confused.. very easily) Edit- Yes!! Dragonball GT is back on!! Cool!

@ Dave: Wha-? You and Azel were wondering why the voices and music were changing throughout the series. I was answering your curiosties.

Zero: Ah right. Lol. Thanks for explaining. I don't remember any voice changes, though I only really started watching it around the Cell saga. No! The Frieza saga on Namek, yeah, that's the one. Turbo: GT isn't amazing, I'll agree. But it's just a thing I have.. when I start to watch a programme, if I like it I have to watch every episode. Like X-men and Spiderman for example, I've watched the Spiderman cartoon all the way through at least once now, and I've tried watching it in the past god knows how many times. I just need to see the episodes where Venom first appears. It's so annoying how I missed them last time round. I missed the first one, because Jetix screwed me around. They normally put on at 10:30am the X-men and Spiderman that will be shown the next day at 6am. So I watched it one day, and didn't tape it at 6am because I had already seen it. It turns out, I never. And I missed the first episode. The second one I taped, the 3rd one I set the video timer to record, and I had it on the right channel, reminder set on the digibox and everything! I forgot to turn the video off. The timer only works if the video is off. And with GT, they took it off air back in January. Annoying, because it was on the last couple of episodes too. Vegeta was going to turn into SS4, and Goku was facing this fire dragon, and its brother (an ice one) was attacking pan. THEN THEY TOOK IT OFF THE AIR!! RRRR!! But it's back now... it's on the Baby saga, towards the end.. but it's back. Lol. Sorry. Rant over.
