Dragon Ball Z (Remastered Uncut Dub)

Uncut refers to certain English dubbed episodes of Dragon Ball Z which were not heavily edited for content. This can refer to episodes in either one of two dubs: The first dub this can refer to are the episodes of the Ocean Group dubs including and after episode 108 (equivalent to episode 123 of the original Japanese dub; see below for clarification). The second dub this can refer to is the entire Funimation dub if including its broadcast of the 67 uncut episodes in 2005.

Why This Remastered FUNimation Uncut of Dragonball Z Dub Sucks
The Dragon Ball Z Remastered Uncut dub by Funimation was critically panned and generally considered to be its worst anime dub, as well as one of the worst anime dubs of all time. It also played a role in DBZ not being as popular in North America compared to Ocean Group/Saban Dub where it has a massive following. The heavy amounts of unedits and uncensorship that 2005 Uncut Dub of Funimation DBZ had to apply in order to make it suitable for children's television significantly and permanently damaged their reputation
 * 1) They're an expurgation of one of the greatest anime franchises of all time, as anything offensive or extremely violent is censored out in order to make it unfriendly show
 * 2) Most of the great music the anime had is replaced with generic, western-oriented music and music from the Nathan M Johnson music
 * 3) The redub is very over-the-top, as violent scenes (like Vegeta punching Goku in the face) are uncensored and death is barely even mentioned. In one episode where Goku was temporarily dead, the dub changes it to "Goku was sent to hell".
 * 4) Bad voice acting with hammy deliveries, with oddities like Vegeta having a deep voice accent and Recoome (who's supposed to be rather dumb) talking in an upper-class manner. Goku also sounds like childish men for some reason.
 * 5) Some of the uncensorship is very questionable, like when Gohan's tears were uncensored out when he was kidnapped by Raditz, Hercule being renamed to Mr Satan or when Master Roshi drinks mugs of what is supposedly water.
 * 6) Some animation errors, thanks to the censorship.
 * 7) There were some very unnecessary and unfitting dialogue changes, like when Frieza beats up Vegeta and kills him
 * 8) There were unnecessary and annoying Z sound effects put into scenes.
 * 9) The Remastered Uncut (the late Funimation dub) was really awful and it shared the same flaws as the early 2005 Funimation dub (unoriginal soundtrack and Z sound effects). In addition, it only covered the Android and Majin Buu Sagas. The rest of the series was skipped (even the remainder of the Ginyu Force Saga, which the early Ocean dub stopped in the middle of).
 * 10) The theme song (while unfair) for the late Remastered Dub has the words "Summon the Dragon!" being repeated over and over again as its lyrics and will get you on your last nerve immediately.
 * 11) On the first episode they cut out the previously on Dragonball Z so people won't know what happened when Goku defeated Piccolo
 * 12) The remastered dub or blu-ray seasons set ruins the image
 * 13) Their physical DBZ home media releases are not very good:
 * 14) Their awful Dragon Ball Z DVD releases. They keep on cropping a 4:3 image to 16:9 and using digital noise reduction, which ruins the image.
 * 15) Their infamous Dragon Ball Z 30th Anniversary, Season Set Blu-rays, and Orange Bricks set received a ton of fire before its release.
 * 16) On Twitter, they teased Nintendo to add Goku from Dragon Ball in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate back when it was still in development. Seriously Funimation, Goku is not a video game character and he'll never join anyways. Plus, Akria Toriyama owns the rights to him.
 * 17) Daman Mills having sexually harassed and indecently exposed himself to a then-15-year-old boy named Duncan. Shortly after the accusations were made, Daman Mills forced Duncan to rescind his accusations by threatening to sue him.
 * 18) The Funimation soundtrack from Mark Menza (no disrespect to him) is nothing but generic American music, much like the Remastered dub of Dragon Ball Z
 * 19) Though the Remastered Funimation dub is still bad, for some reason, the voice actors that reprised their roles sound more phoned-in than usual, especially Stephanie Nadolny, Sean Schemmel, and Chris Sabat. Even Sean Schemmel as Super Saiyan Goku sounds kinda tired and slow.
 * 20) Chi-Chi (Dragonball Z) and Laura Bailey (Dende, Piccolo, Mr. Popo, Future Trunks, and various Dragon Ball Z Funimation Remastered Dub characters) do poor jobs voicing, Linda Young, and Frieza, Schemmel, Sabat sounds very annoying and unconvincing as a woman.
 * 21) Evolution, and also worse than the old 2005\Funimation dub of Dragon Ball Z
 * 22) Their Dragon Ball Z Ocean/Saban dub is better and has only been shown to be a huge improvement over the godawful Remastered Funimation dub
 * 23) The voice acting in the Remastered Funimation dub is bad and worse than 2005 uncut dub.
 * 24) The Remastered Uncut dub and 2005 Uncut DUB are easily the worst English dubs of DBZ, due to their bad voice acting and Nathan M Johnson unoriginal soundtrack
 * 25) There are some incredibly inappropriate moments (often involving Bulma, Vegeta, Goku, and Master Roshi), such as Master Roshi touching Maron´s breasts to him, Frieza licking Vegeta´s blood while he's tourting him, Krillin sleeps in Bulma´s underwear and slap in the his face
 * 26) Also the Funimation Remastered and Ulitmate Uncut Special Edition dub's Theme song is awful Reception
 * 27) The original Remastered and Uncut Funimation dub is infamous for how horrible it is. In fact, there's even a page for that version on Horrible Dubs Wiki. Thankfully after 67 episodes, Cartoon Network dropped the licensing once Toei legally allowed them to, and Ocean Group Dub took over. Not only undoing the damage 2005 Funi Redubbed left upon it, but continuing to present after that.

Redeeming Qualities
 * 1) It launched the careers of the voice actors who were working on the show.
 * 2) Brian Drummond and Scott McNeil Ian James Corlett, do phenomenal jobs at voicing Vegeta and Piccolo. Goku and Gohan
 * 3) * Phil Parson's performance as Nappa can also be unintentionally unfriendly to some.
 * 4) It spawned the Ocean dub, which was far better received than the FUNimation Remastered dub.
 * 5) Stephanie Nadolny's performance as Kid Gohan.
 * 6) While it still has some problems, the Remastered Uncut dub of the Majin Buu saga is a slight improvement over their take on the Android-Cell sagas, as the production wasn't rushed, the voice acting improved, and there is some original music composed alongside with the stock music from other productions.
 * 7) Some of the voices are more fitting in this dub, such as hiring actual children to play Pan and Uub.
 * 8) The "BLT Ocean Group" dub of the original Dragon Ball and the uncut Pioneer dubs of the first three DBZ movies had lesser flaws and better voice acting than the stupid gosh-awful unfair Funimation Uncut Remastered dub
 * 9) At least the Ocean Group dub have a decent amount of fans who enjoy it, and they can also be enjoyed in a "so it's good" way.
 * 10) It's not really as bad as the atrocious Speedy Video, Funimation Remastered Uncut or Big Green Dubs.

Trivia

 * Funi's DVD releases of Dragon Ball Z (the Uncut Special Edition dub) are long out-of-print and hard to find.
 * Brian Drummond would later voice Fake Vegeta in the Funimation dub of Dragon Ball Super, which essentially makes Vegeta from the Ocean dub appear in the show.
 * It spawned quite a few hilarious memes like the legendary "IT'S OVER 9,000!" meme.
 * Sean voiced Goku at one point and tried to reprise his role, but he got turned down.
