I feel like the "martial arts" sound was better suited for Dragon Ball, but this is better suited for DBZ.

elaborate. I'm new to /a/
I prefer the manga's soundtrack
Holy shit the US had a different soundtrack? This sounds really bad.
Too lazy to turn off my trip, but anyways. Can anyone tell me the current pricing state of the RTD edition? I bought it two years ago, and haven't really kept up with it, but I noticed on eBay some guy selling it for a whole grand. Is it really worth that much to people now?
No, you are not the only shit eater, unfortunately.
>>136300857
>Am I the only one who prefers the Bruce Faulconer score?
No. Jesus, sweet christ no. And we need a lot less of you kinds of people in the world, honestly.
Funimation butchered Z with it's Power Rangers tier marketing and dubbing. It wasn't until Kai did we get a dub of Z worth watching. Faulconer's soundtrack butchered everything great about Dragon Ball's atmosphere.

SSJ3 transformation was at least 1million times better with Bruce Faulconer than original Japanese and I don't give a fuck how weaboo you are, you can not deny this truth.
>>136300857
>Am I the only one who prefers the Bruce Faulconer score?
/a/ is literally /v/ nowadays
>>136302752
>It wasn't until Kai did we get a dub of Z worth watching
This
Kai is the definitive way of watching Dragon Ball Z. Some will argue that its not "complete" because of the filler removal, but I doubt that if you ask any nostalgia fags to sit down and watch both version, that they would prefer the one with middle school level color "correction", and high school level voice acting.
>>136300857
No you're not, in fact I might not have gotten into it initially without the dub music. Of course everyone on /a/ is going to lose their shit if you say this, but the BF score fits the scenes far better, especially the transformations. /a/ is just contrarian by default and has a katana shoved up their ass so far they even think in kanji.
I always wanted to ask this, but why's the picture in Kai shacking so much? Was DBZ always like this?
Tried to watch the first episode of kai, felt like I had seizure
>>136303226
>implying you fedora Faulconer worshipping faggots aren't the ones dual wielding katanas in your mommy's basement
>>136303006
I re-watched entire series dubbed, Dragon Ball through Dragon Ball Z, through the fall and winter of 2014, and I liked it better than any anime that has come out in the last 15 years. In the earlier episodes, some of the SOL scenes sound a mite awkward, but by the beginning of the namek saga the voices have the perfect emotion for the scenes, and when BF score starts at around ep 50-60, the scenes seem to flow better music wise.
>>136303336
>American VAs
>American score

>>136302752
Z was already butchered when Funimation got it. Shit on their dub all you like, but don't act like Toei's Z was good.
>>136303226
>contrarian by default
So you're honestly saying people should prefer god awful, cringe worthy techno tracks with literally no melodic composition, composed in a tiny little office studio on some late 90s software, over memorable, fully orchestrated tracks composed with real instruments?
Jesus fucking christ, this is a joke. You have to be joking, or 14 years old, or something.
>>136303226
>Not liking BF score
>Contrarian
/a/ isn't the sole opinion on the matter. This has been a hot topic for a long time now, here or otherwise. In case you forgot, there are many versions of DBZ out there, most of which do not have the BF score tagging along. It shouldn't be surprising to see people react poorly to Bruce's 90's shit.
Speaking of 90's shit, when is the last time you actually watched the original Funi run? I've noticed over the years that whenever someone comes along spouting this nonsense, they almost always refer to the same two or three scenes, especially the ssj3 transformation. It bugs me to no end that most of them do not remember the rest of the BF score. It was always playing, no matter what scene was on screen. How the fuck can you excuse this? Between that and the original voice acting, the original is nearly unbearable at times.
Honestly, go anywhere else on the internet and ask about this shit. It's the BF faggots that screem the loudest.
>>136303529
>techno
clearly this man has never heard a single BF soundtrack. He probably only watched the few bad dubbed scenes in order to justify his hatred.

I watched the entire funi run, Dragon Ball through DBZ, in 2014, and it was better than any show I'd seen in the last 15 years
>>136303776
Dragon ball is truly a masterpiece.
>>136303719
That literally sounds like some fucking PS1 boss battle track from a shovelware game. It's noisy, it's cluttered, and the piano repeats over and over again until you have to pause the video so you can hear yourself fucking think.

Here, have three scenes that are infinitely better in the Bruce Faulconer dub:

You can't use the term autism to describe someone else, when you're defending that literally Power Rangers tier soundtrack.
>chaotic personality
what the fuck? There's nothing ''chaotic'' about Vegeta. He's serious, uniform and silent most of the time. He isn't Broly or Majin Buu, he's literally the complete opposite.
>he thinks PS themes aren't fucking amazing
I've never read something so stupid in all of my life. Not only did you not even read what I said, but this is just proof you're a nostalgiafag
>''REE IT CAME OUT DURING MY CHILDHOOD THEREFORE AUTOMATICALLY GOOD''
Fuck off you little autist. You can't replace an orchestral score with fucking midi files without at least one sane person voicing his opinion.
>>136303866
PS era had the greatest videogame music of all times.
>>136304329
Except I explicitly said it sounded like SHOVELWARE, not quality OST.
>>136304283
>literally Power Rangers tier soundtrack.

Don't use that word until you know what it means.
>>136304250

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdTqEGHl0-I
Yeah, you're right, I shouldn't compare them, Power Rangers actually sounds better than the Faulconer swill.
The original is far superior. It actually tried to incite some kind of emotion.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83zmSBp3WzI
Kikuchi is an award-winning composer, Faulconer is literally a nobody Funimation grabbed off of the street, who STOLE the credit from most of his employees. You do the math.
>>136304634
Is that second song an actual track on the show? holy fuck, they really did not give two hecks about the OST
>faulconerfags will defend it anyway
>>136304440
Except is objectively isn't in the slightest. Especially the SSJ3 transformation.
>>136304440
>banging on pots and pans with spoons
>trumpets like I'm at my little sisters quinceañera

Kill yourself compa
It's too fucking loud at times, the original soundtrack allowed for subtle moments, at times it suits the battles but others it just seems out place with the tone, it just sounds too 90-ish the original is timeless
>>136304810
The Super Saiyan 3 transformation is infinitely better done in the japanese version, what are you smoking?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWPAHbrK1ak
>>136304862
I like both songs in that transformation but fuck the jap voice is still terrible for Goku.

Look at that fucking scream (4:05)

To be honest, I think Kai beats them all by a lot.

>>136302752
>Funimation butchered Z with it's Power Rangers tier marketing and dubbing
The only reeason why aniome was ever good once.
>>136302845
Take a good look at this pleb
>>136305033
seriously wtf is with kings kais va sound like hes half asleep
>>136306279
To be fair, he's nearly 90. He's been both King Kai and the narrator for the Dragon Ball series since the 80s. He's sort of a national treasure in Japan.
>>136306364
And he has been sick, he was replaced in Super and is in the hospital undergoing treatment.
Holy fucking shit. The original Funi dub is the only reason anime was ever good once. It was a diamond among a pike of shit, and Dragon Ball Z went on to become an international phenomenon because the dub was good. The music, the voices, the dialogue. It was amazing. But now, in a time when whomever is the biggest special snowflake gets the most praise, people bitch and whine about how "the dub ruined anime" "Falconers Ost was shit". The show, and anime itself, would be a little-known and dying or dead niche hobby which was only known in Japan. But I'm sure that you moefags on /a/ would be happy with that.
>>136301831
The only good songs are the android, trunks and cell saga.
>>136307936
Breh, you would think otherwise if you were to watch it again. Why funimation decided to add their own shit is a mystery. Those fucks act like it's their show (creatively).

of course /a/ thinks the japanese version is better. Why did you even ask?
>>136304250
Americans shit talk the jap granny when their dub sounds like this? It's fucking garbage all around, misplaced soundtrack, supporting characters all sound like shit and Goku is completely out of character.
>>136307936
>Dragon Ball Z went on to become an international phenomenon because the dub was good
How deluded can you be?No one but the Americans got that butchered version. In other places there was actual progression from DB to DBZ since it was aired in the correct order with the original soundtrack and the correct names. No Hercule or Tien shit.
>>136300857
>dub
Are you that OP who said he can't watch DBZ in japanese because muh shitty dub music?
>>136303529
The nip score simply serves its purpose. Not memorable or even accomplished. Can't handle electronic sounds and guitar anon? What are you 75?
>>136303226
Except some retarded amerifats here and there, nobody likes BF's OST, don't delude yourself.
>>136304440
>original is infinitely better
>doesn't post the scenes because he knows they aren't
Good retort.
I liked the Cell and Super Buu themes
>>136309537
always reminded of this
https://youtu.be/qlrYSUg_q9E?t=6m36s
It's been ages but does anyone know which OST track plays when Gohan goes SSJ2 and shits on all the blue fags in a movie/ova?
The only good music coming out of DBZ was the guy who sang shit like Dragon Power. He practically carried the music single handed.
>>136304862
That's goku's voice? Pfffffffhaha
Kai >
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aovcg4CgaBI
>>136300857
your not alone and dont let a very loud vocal minority here get to you. both scores are good for their own reasons.
I prefer the dub, but I always watch it with the Japanese soundtrack. The faulconer music is fucking irritating because it's ALWAYS playing
>>136314036
You mean Gohan's Anger? That made this scene really good and better than the original Japanese.
https://youtu.be/_ocrerkTcFg?t=130
Although I will admit that the new OST that played in Kai definitely took it up a notch.

>>136318151
>vocal minority
See, this is why dubfags come off like dipshits here.
Can we agree that Super's tracks are shit, none of them match the scenes
Nah, faulconer soundtrack and the dub is the best way to watch DBZ.
Goku's nip voice sucks ass and the music is boring and slow with gay trumpets and stuff. The Faulconer soundtrack for the transformations and hype moments was way better only retarded weebs think otherwise
Dub isn't that great.
But the soundtrack is amazing.
I really wish I could get jap voices but a faulconer score when i watch DB super
>>136309537
As i have already stated, i just watched it in 2014. And it was better than i remembered. Maybe you should watch it again, and remove pre-judgement thoughts from your mind.
>>136318964
Here's the thing though, did you watch the original VHS with Ocean's voices for the first season or did you watch one of the re-dubs they did for the 'uncut' DVDs and those orange bricks?

No, honestly anyone not being a contrarian faggot memeposting >dub would enjoy it. Just stop browsing /a/ if you want a valid opinion
What's with those farty synths this guy uses in his music, just sounds like fart trumpets pooting over FL Studio string synths and midi guitars.
>>136318593
I don't remember the songs. Everything about Super is so lackluster, senpai.
>>136300857
I don't care what any other anons say, there were a lot of great tracks from Faulconer. I concede that a lot of them went from super serious to rediculous on a dime but that made sense to me as a kid. I feel if a fan did their own cut of the tracks then it could be a bit better.
serious shit during the spaghetti western staredowns and silly shit when it cuts to bulma or the zcooby gang doing something plot related.
to this day the scene where goku and ginyu power up for eachother is fucking GOAT just because of that goddamn theme. so based.
>>136304250
I always thought with the crazy hair and glistening bodies that everyone was into 80's synths so I never really found it out of place. DB was perfect ost and DBZ just stepped it up to adrenaline levels.
DBZ music will forever be sick nasty guitar licks and bassey synths. 90's bruh.
Funi dub is literally the only reason DBZ was good. Gave the little girl voice actors and bland trumpets some soul.
