It was crazy. I was hosting an anime art gallery some friends and I had set up, and he walks in, all, "hey, is there any, like, DBZ?" and I said no, but I really liked the series, why, and he's all, "Yeah, I'm the VA for Goku." And then we talked. >__>
I saw the dub ... hmm. I saw the dub first, because I knew the show by the time I was watching it in Japanese, but it's probably true that I've seen a good 80 percent of the show in Japanese, and only about 30 percent in English. I don't think Schemmel does a bad job, I just... Nozawa, she's just such a good voice actor, and I think it suits Goku (and Gohan, and Goten) so well to have such a weird voice. XD;
Oh, the villains were definitely cooler + cheese, in general. Buu is one glaring (shining?) example - the silly childish voice is so much better than the super-deep Japanese one. And - uh, Zarbon. He's better in English, too. And about half of the Ginyu Force (except for the one with the weird accent). Hmm. *is thinking this out*
