anyway, these few nights i have been watching dragon ball movies...though in english dub LOL. if there's ever a complete collection of english and japanese dub together, i will get my hands on it. hahahaha.
and although english dub can sound ridiculous at times, it never fails to amuse me. i tried watching a particular ova in chinese and cantonese--suddenly, the english dub friggin looks bloody professional LOL
occasionally i find kid gohan and goten's voices ridiculous, but sometimes they sound quite ok actually. as for goku...actually he has quite good combat voices. but his general speech is kinda outta the world wtf? haha. english dub seriously makes every character completely different from the japanese dub o__O partly cuz they changed the context of what they were actually saying almost completely. i doubt kid gohan would say "check it out!" in japanese equivalent when he's looking at his dad charging up power...like wtf??!
come to think of it, in my surroundings, there aren't a lot of fellow dragon ball fans. in fact, the only fan who's more into it i can even think of is actually my elder cousin who's turning 40 =__= he introduced dragon ball and transformers to me actually. he's another ps game fan who loves RPGs and SRPGs, especially the type with no FMVs (full motion videos) cuz they "are a complete waste of time". and btw i might have remembered wrongly, but he said something about learning japanese because he wanted to play japanese version games. dot dot dot. (btw he and my youngest uncle both learns japanese out of interest and have both been stewards some part of their career lives o.O)
so, it's quite hard to find a fellow 'appreciator' of the dragon ball art. i seriously don't see how dragon ball character designs are weird. in fact my sis and i have an eye on what a 'good looking' saiyan is. just 10mins ago we came to the conclusion that Broly is one of the most decent saiyan character design who looks good in super saiyan form (not the ultra super saiyan form), and that teenager gohan before his final power was drawn out is actually good looking too. hahaha. goku looks best in his normal form or in gogeta.
just in case you're not a dragon ball fan.. some reference! :D
Broly:

yahhh. no matter how many years pass, goku is still my fave from the series!
actually, i think i have a better chance of getting better references by scanning my trading cards. =.=
i drew fan comics of dragon ball before. but when i moved house some years back, they were all either lost, thrown or something. i was very sad for a very long time. it's not easy drawing those muscles leh!!! speaking of muscles, i realised that we somehow watch the whole show without quite caring about the fact that they are overly endowed with muscles. erh whatever. and the show has one of the best japanese dubs ever! due to obviously biased opinion.
anyway, i shall now get back to watching broly second coming. liz is finally off the phone with some talkative weirdo. see ya~~
