I like the classic look they’re going for. New VAs for Zenigata, Fujiko, and Goemon. The voice of Jigen is the only one left of the original cast. I hope this special doesn’t suck as much as the past few have.

My pick: Toshio Furukawa
Reasoning: I love how Toshio Furukawa can sound snarky and arrogant one minute and really serious and sharp the next, depending on Piccolo’s mood. He’s got that devilish feel to him. However, it’s not a "character voice"; it sounds natural in every scene. As far as the English dub(s) are concerned, Scott McNeil’s Piccolo edges out the competition by having a wild flare to it, while still remaining solidly rooted. In comparison, Sabat’s Piccolo seems a little bland and the others just sound plain bad.
For those interested in hearing what Colleen Clinkenbeard’s going to do with my favorite scene, here’s a sort of "preview". It’s how she does it in Ultimate Tenkaichi:

Pretty good. Too bad Willingham’s Cell is so awkward. I’m sure the scene will be better with Clarke’s Cell.
Between this and the Gundam: The Origin series coming out, it’s a fine time to be an anime fan.
Personally, find the Blu-Ray footage too dark, but otherwise the remaster looks surprisingly solid for a Funimation release, even if I prefer the Dragon Boxes.
VA for Son Goku, Son Gohan, Son Goten, Bardock, and Telluce!
I know this is probably old by now, but… BRIGHT NOA, EFF YEAH.
