But I knew right off the bat that who Nozawa voiced when I first watched the Japanese version.
Of course you did, that's kind of the point. You have to look for acting differences, not meer voice differences.

Saying TienShinHan is kinda mouth full I know they did that in the first Dragon Ball Series.

I was just a young kid. Back then it all sounded the same to me. Still sorta does. It's not like there are huge, vast differences.
There's notable differences in how Nozawa performs each of the characters, at least as far as Gokû, Gohan, Bardock, and Tullece are concerned. 'Vocally' (as in, in terms of seperating them as completely different voices), there is little difference. In terms of tone and the way she performs, however, there are huge differences.
Seriously... Bardock too? It just doesn't work for me.

Not to come off rudely, but if there's been such a large (small?) gap between the forming of your view on the subject and any actual research into the subject, it might be a good idea to freshen up on the subject before trying to discuss it. I'd certainly have to do the same if we were speaking about, say, the release history of Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings books. Not to insinuate I am any sort of expert on Nozawa's acting, but I'm certainly familiar with it.
It doesn't work period. Nozawa was miscast as Bardock simply because Bardock looks like Goku, even though his character is nothing like Goku so he can't have the "childishness" excuse that Goku has. And you can't use the excuse of Bardock being his father when his brother Raditz didn't have Nozawa's voice. Come to think of it, Shigeru Chiba would probably have made a better Bardock.
Look, I've watched plenty of Japanese Dragon Ball/Z/GT/Kai and I do notice the different tones and acting she uses for certain characters, but I said I think the differences aren't that huge. It's my opinion, so please don't tell me that my opinion is wrong.
Uh... Obviously recent memory? What I meant was when I was a kid, I couldn't tell the differences between the voices at all. Kids don't really dissect and pay much attention to things like that. But now that I'm older I can tell the differences, but what I'm saying is I don't think that there are as much differences as you make them seem to be.I'm sorry that's how you're perceiving this. I signified in my post I wasn't clear on whether your views were based on childhood (7-10? 11?) memory or recent memory. I understood the words "Still sorta does" as recollecting the self-proclaimed 'young kid' memories, rather than stating any more recent dealings. If I misunderstood, then that is on me. I apolgize if my mistaken assumption came off as insulting or to diminish the right you have to hold an opinion. Everybody has that right here.
What you said pretty much gave off that vibe. Not only that, but it was insulting. Just because I have a different opinion, you assumed I wasn't familiar enough with her voices to tell the differences? I don't see what makes your opinion more valuable than mine. Then you told me to actually take up research on it? Come on, man.Let's be honest though, if I was going to say "your opinion is wrong" I'd have outright said that.[/ice breaking joke]
Jacob, no offence or anything but these guys are do have a point. Nozawa wasn't the first choice Toriyama had for the character so really, while you can say she is the definite Japanese voice, how do you honestly know what Toriyama originally planned?
I'm not really sure what this is in reply to, so I'm not really sure how to reply. Toriyama picked her from the audition tapes. Yes. Is this somehow suppose to connect back to the discussion about the actresses ability to seperate the six characters she plays? I'm really not sure what you're getting at here. Not even that connect backs to myself supposedly telling other's what to think.
By all means, let me know if there's something I'm missing here so I can admit to being wrong (or not).

I have to admit though. Despite not liking her Freeza, I feel sort of bad that she's getting replaced all of a sudden. I hate to see her reaction after all this.
