Sometimes these differences were minor but often times they were completely different. Just comparing practically any line in an episode and it is and it is almost always in some way different to what was being said originally. I don't know exactly how inaccurate but i am willing to guess that it is isn't even close. Now there are many business related reason as to why this dub turned out the way it did and it is a "product of its time" But i don't think any of it really excuses the shitty quality on display here. Even so i am always of the opinion that everyone should try to give the original a look. So i am not a dub hater and i understand why some would want to watch something in their own language. In fact it is usually pretty interesting and it has value. Not on the first viewing obviously, but i don't mind seeing different interpretations of scenes in different languages after the fact. Usually i alway stick with subbed, because that is the way the show was intended to be seen and it did come out about a decade before Funimation got their hands on Dragon Ball, so i am always going to prefer not just DB but any media in its original form, regardless of country of origin but i am open to watching things dubbed. So i guess it makes sense but it is also sad in a way because their first exposure to DBZ was something that arguably shouldn't even be called DBZ. Nostalgia or something else? I remember back in the day when it was airing many DBZ fans HATED IT and rightfully so but the kids who grew up with it didn't know better.

But i have seen many comments over the years praising this dub. I guess there was the infamous 4kids One Piece, dub but that is usually recognized as a joke in the community and nobody ever recommends that someone watches that version over the original.

Because i don't think anything has been this bad since. I just wonder if a dub of this quality would to be released in this day and i age and wonder how it would be received. Like WOW! I have never seen such a mishandled dub as this one and one that that bizarrely gets praised by a not so insignificant number of people, despite it seemingly doing EVERYTHING in the worst possible way.
