I've not been following Dragon Ball for a long time now, but when I found out Claudio Moneta was to dub Goku, I was happy. Guy's a legend and experienced as hell in anime and cartoon dubbing. He's been in Dragon Ball too, although dubbing other characters, most notably the tournament announcer. He had big shoes to fill this time around, having to replace Paolo Torrisi, unfortunately dead now.
Then I found a clip on Youtube, where there is Goku and apparently an evil version of himself. The evil Goku spoke first, and Claudio's voice made a good impression as always. Then Goku spoke. Literally sounding almost exactly like his japanese version, which has to be the most hideous and ridiculous voice I've ever heard on a male character, probably. Damn, that was disappointing. I can't imagine him doing that voice of his own will, the director must have told him to imitate the japanese version and stick with it. So sad. Just let him do his own thing, like Paolo before him? I don't watch DB anymore but I feel for those fans who still do and will want to cry hearing that voice on Goku.
