Slightly off topic, I know music is a matter of taste, but I'm not sure why so many people praise Faulconer's work on the series. To all of you american in this thread, I suggest you to watch either the japanese version of DBZ or some European dub with subtitles if you can't bear Son Goku's girly voice and you can get your hands on it (I believe most european dubs kept the original soundtrack, at least the French and German one did).
The American dub is really... cheesy. The voice acting is strange (especially the kids who sound like they have been smoking tons of cigarettes since they were born, well this one is not specific to DBZ but characteristic of most US dubs I've seen so far, but still...) and the soundtrack not very good. I was introduced to it few years ago and I just found it hilarious, but that just my opinion !
Yeah Because of the movie's announcement I watched some DBZ movies on youtube. It was the first time I watched DBZ with American dub and it sounds sooo strange. I was like WTF? They sound like manly porn actors and what about that music?
Comparison:
American sounds so strange to me, but I guess for Americans the German dub will sound kind of girlish.
German sounds gay :D American is ok, but i wouldn't watch the whole series in English. Original Japanese is the way to go for.
Imagine watching American cartoons (cartoon network for example) in Japanese, they would sound really bad i guess. That's because American and Japanese cartoon styles are very different
I personally like the English voices, don't sound like any problem for me :S If you have watched any other sort of Anime with english on you will notice most of the charachters voices get re used alot, Shaman King has most of them in, even some Pokemon voices too.

Even a DBZ thread is not safe from Europe vs USA arguments
First I thought this was fake again like this Hoshi thing, but this seems to be real and if Toriyama himself takes part this cannot go wrong! I am super excited!
