Although the ocean dub was awesome, imo the funimation dub + faulconer music is what made dbz such a global hit, your friends are probably ill informed
I wouldn't say "global". Over here in germany they used pretty good voice acting/actors for the dub while maintaining japanese score and accuracy when it comes to the dialogues. Although Funi offers a good dub they aren't really about to represent the characters to a fully degree. Especially when it comes to Goku.
All of sudden my friends are hating on the old Funimation dub of DBZ
