Have you noticed (Of course you have) that Funimation tend to exaggerate? I mean... muscles and stuff. Too much. Yeah, they're Z fighters and they're mighty and strong, but I think it's too much. Don't get me wrong, I love DBZ, but this is too much, I think. Maybe all animes are like that. The bigger exaggeration is with The Powerpuff Girls, the size of their eyes. (Half face each eye. Still a great show though.)

FUNimation has EVERYTHING to be blamed about except for that. I guess Mr. Toriyama or Toei wished to exaggerate strength like that.
FUNimation has butchered everything on DBZ. They just COULDN'T leave the dialogue alone on "uncut" videos, they had to make it cheesy kiddie dialogue. As if that weren't enough, they put in horrid music and replace the great theme songs with horrid introductions.

I don't think it's too much muscles, I think it's TOO MUCH DRAGON BALL Z. Heh, I'm not a fan... It got kinda old after .. well, not even awhile. For me, at least.

Not too much for me, I only started liking DBZ a month ago or so.

If the Japense version was translated directly, I bet the show would be better...

ah, but remember, its America and Cartoon Network is in America. Cartoon Network: the kiddie program. Ofcourse you should expect things to be edited. DBZ can't be aired cut and in english...because there is swearing and stuff. Ofcourse, they also edit the drawings of some animes aired.
Funimation...yes, i suppose they should be blamed. I don't blame anyone because i don't bother with watching anything on Cartoon Network anymore.

Dragon Ball Z is running on to long........ A basic episode........
Threaten badguy, bad threaten back, good guy get mad, good guy screaming at the top of his lungs with cool light show, end episode
now don't get me wrong, the show is ok.... but they should have ended it along time ago.

Believe me, you don't want it to be translated directly from Japanese. That's why I never watch DBZ on TV, I downloaded every episode from 009 - 070. Go to the "Subs or Dubs" topic to see why.

I don't like DBZ, everything is exaggerated...I mean, the planets are like flimsy little paper fold ups...and as much as half an episode is gloating and threatening! It's a great concept, but terrible execution.
