OK, now this REALLY pisses me off. If you have this episode of the English version on tape, do me a favor. Listen to the voices of Zesshin (the leader of the kids) and his (apparent) second-in-command, Boon. Listen closely. Recognize either of them? Yep, Zesshin is voiced by the same actor who does Tenshinhan, and Boon by the same actor who does Vegeta. There's a difference though. THEY ACTUALLY SOUND LIKE GOOD VOICES!! Rather than overacting and putting on some stupid, artificial "character" voice, they are speaking naturally, and sound like real human beings.
You know, it would be one thing if both of these guys just sucked 100%. But what burns me most about this is that both of these guys have GREAT voices, and if they were just allowed to use them as is, rather than trying to sound like a "character,"they would both be perfect for Tenshinhan and Vegeta! They sound great, and so much more realistic, when they are speaking naturally. What the hell is FUNimation thinking?? "Yeah, your voice sounds too... uh...how do we say this... good. Could you perhaps make it sound really stupid for us? You see, we're trying to ruin this show in whatever way possible." God, these people drive me insane.
