I watched the Saiyan Saga on Crunchyroll for the first time a few days ago! The dub did an excellent job explaining the plot and informing who the characters are without info-dumping. But when compared to the sub, it feels like a different story, especially when you watch the final episode. Goku feels different in … Read more
