It's an alright series, but our version is crap!, 26 June 2004
Author: son_gokuu from Harrogate, England

Dragonball is an alright series, full of comedy, action etc. I live in the UK and it is poorly dubbed, in fact it's so bad is our dub, there is no way to describe it. Like DBGT it has been dubbed by Blue Water. For one thing we have an appalling opening theme which was just the French version complete with music that sound the Teletubbies or something, the picture quality is crap, unlike FUNimation they haven't bothered to clear the picture up or even brighten up the colours. Last but not least the voices, they all sound horrible. We should have used the FUNimation version, as it's all better quality. I only watched a couple of eps of our version and decided I'll be better of getting the FUNi DVD's.
