Thanks!
@Spoffle.
Possibly I'm looking back and not realising it, I may also have skipped some filler, not sure now, I'm also not up to date with Shippuuden having only seen to about where a certain character 'croaks' (not wanting too be too obvious incase anyone else is watching right now and isnt that far in), that said, even the longer fights in it I don't remember lasting more than a few episodes. Even in DBZ Kai, the Freeza fight is...20+ episodes?! Or so it felt like.
That's just insane. Naruto may have had filler, but it never had any single event/fight drawn out that far that I remember, even if it had longer arcs that took ages to go anywhere, at least smaller stuff happens even if nothing too important. Obviously excluding filler arcs, as DBZ Kai is meant to have had the out-and-out filler removed anyway.
I honestly reckon the voice actors for DBZ must have cracked up laughing given how much yelling thier roles consist of at times.

Beck also has a very good dub, as does Black Lagoon.
Beck especially suits the english, as some of the songs were in english with heavy japanese accents in the original dub, so it's smoother on the ears arguably.
I never noticed just how drawn out Naruto was until I caught up to the airing schedule, and when I had to watch it weekly, it was just painful. I was quite a few years late to starting Naruto, so I had a good few hundred episodes to get through so I never noticed as I could watch it at my leisure.
