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 Dub Uncutted Itself

 * 1) Bad voice acting:
 * 2) *Vegeta has a deep voice accent. His Redub Funimation voice actor, which is provided by Chris Sabat, is extremely annoying, unpleasant, grating and irritating to listen to with the worst offenders being crying, screaming and nagging which make the character more unlikable. As a result, Chris Sabat wasted his talents on him.
 * 3) *Android 19 (Remastered, Orange Bricks, Dragon Boxes, all Blu-Rays) doesn't include that, except for the very last scene he's voiced in for some reason
 * 4) *The echos is missing on the Orange Bricks DVD, 30th anniversary and Season Blu-Ray, the Remastered dub sets. (Also Dragon Boxes)
 * 5) *Recoome (who's supposed to be rather dumb)
 * 6) *Super Buu, Meta Cooler, and Frieza (3rd form) talking in an upper-class manner.effect is missing on the Orange Bricks DVD, 30th anniversary and Season Blu-Ray sets, the Remastered dub. (Also Dragon Boxes)
 * 7) *The Funimation dub of Goku I Am Speech to Frieza is insulting and disgrace the Bible.
 * 8) *The Funimation uncut dub rights to the entire franchise expiring.
 * 9) *Goku was also a victim of flanderization, as he became more idiotic, more annoying and lazier, and acts more childish. Goku was dumb, lazy, and childish in the original Funimation dub.
 * 10) There were some very unnecessary and unfitting dialogue changes, like when Frieza beats up Vegeta and kills him
 * 11) There were unnecessary and annoying Z sound effects put into scenes.
 * 12) The 2005 and Remastered uncut dubs are easily some of the worst English dubs of DBZ (outside of the Big Green and Speedy dubs, of course), due to their bad voice acting and the unoriginal soundtrack
 * 13) Laughable (or, in worse cases, cringy, and/or even downright offensive) dialogue that poorly translates from Japanese to English, including (but not limited to):
 * 14) * "Hey Piccolo wake up. It's time for school."
 * 15) * That's one bad dude"
 * 16) * "Look out Krllin, that guy isn't my father. Look out?!"
 * 17) * "Krillin in the house!"
 * 18) * "Holy comosos, look that thing. my gosh that's one whopper of a lizard!."
 * 19) * "Flaming fishsticks"
 * 20) * "That's it buckaroo, ride em ' cowboy!" Pop goes to weasel, which is only a stupid insult
 * 21) * "Hey, Moptop." This line, in particular, could be seen as name-calling towards, their looks, which by 1999 was uncalled for
 * 22) There are some incredibly inappropriate and even disturbing moments (often involving Bulma, Vegeta, Goku, and Master Roshi) such as:
 * 23) *Master Roshi touching Maron's breasts to her.
 * 24) *Frieza licking Vegeta´s blood while he's torturing him.
 * 25) *Vegeta giving Krillin a middle finger in Namek.
 * 26) *Recoome giving a middle finger at Goku.
 * 27) *Krillin sleeps in Bulma's underwear and slap his face.
 * 28) *Cell absorbing Piccolo's arms
 * 29) *Dr. Gero & Android 19 toturting Yamcha in West City
 * 30) *During The Cell Games, Cell was forced, to puke out Android 18, because Gohan, as a Super Saiyan 2, kicked Cell VERY HARD in the stomach
 * 31) *Spopovich crushing Videl's ear
 * 32) *Frieza impales Krillin very BADLY, and Terrible Dialogue in the Remastered uncut Funimation dub
 * 33) The 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 its lack of popularity in North America compared to Ocean Group/Saban Dub.
 * 34) Goku's voice sounds too old to be a 14–16-year-old. He speaks with a strange bored accent, and his voice was made even worse in Funimation's redub, to the point where he sounds like a bored man addiction.
 * 35) Terrible redubbing voice acting for the most parts.
 * 36) The Next Time on Dragonball Z episode preview segments, which were so out of place and were only made to meet certain though they could've aired it on cable so that it won't happen, making the segments even more inexcusable. On top of that, they had very little (or nothing) to do with the plot of the episodes

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) It launched the careers of the voice actors who were working on the show.
 * 2) Brian Drummond, Scott McNeil, and Ian James Corlett did phenomenal jobs at voicing Vegeta, Piccolo, Goku, Krillin, and Gohan.
 * 3) 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.
 * 4) The Ocean dub has since gained a cult following and is enjoyed in a "so bad it's good" way.
 * 5) It's not as bad as the atrocious Speedy Video and Big Green dubs.
 * 6) It introduced the West to Dragon Ball Z.
 * 7) Brian Drummond does a good job voicing him and is an improvement over Chris Sabat voicing him
 * 8) It later spawned the Ocean dub, Pioneer dub and the episodes 1-53 and the movies 1-3 which was far better received and considered an improvement.

Reception
Dragon Ball Z (Remastered Uncut Funimation Dub) received mixed-to-negative reviews from viewers, parents, and critics, with the main criticisms being the poor voice acting and childish tone. It is often regarded as the worst dub. It currently has a 5.1/10 on IMDb.

Not even Cartoon Network was happy with the show. On January 14, 2006, they cancelled it after only one season.
