Re: What's your most recent Dragonball purchase?

Every time I tried reading the manga at school, be it the kanzenban or even the original jump comics, I've always gotten stares and comments like "you actually like that?..." keep in mind they never saw the Japanese version raw, subbed, and only knew of it as it aired on Cartoon Network. ...

Re: Dragon Ball Z "Seasons" Coming To Blu-ray (Updated 12/31

Can anyone give me an honest assessment of these Blurays compared to the Dragon Boxes or Level sets in terms of quality? I am OK w/ them being 16:9 IF and only if the video quality is worth it as I have a 55" Plasma. Honestly (and many would disagree with me on here) if you want an HD experien...

Re: Did Power Levels ruin strategy?

Power levels and raw output of power definitely ruined fighting strategy and surprise with confrontations in the series. Even with BOG you see this becoming a problem with the story having to expand the universe so future battles with even more powerful people can take place. I think there has to co...

No,don't put yourself to the level of that morons. I don't know if I agree about speaking toward others (especially fans of Dragon Ball) so disparagingly.

Re: Why does Kanzenshuu never criticize other dubs of DB?

I can't say the staff of Kanzenshuu even really say much about the english dub either... For going in depth about other dubs, people from various contries would need to go on the podcast, or maybe it could be done in the wiki in works. Such a task would be quite formidable but so very interesting. ...

Re: Why does Kanzenshuu never criticize other dubs of DB?

Same reason no one criticizes changes made to foreign dubs of US cartoons. Americans have the "we don't care what those foreigners do" mindset. I don't think it has anything to do about us "Americans" not caring about what "they" do or do not do. We just aren't equippe...

Re: Why does Kanzenshuu never criticize other dubs of DB?

I think the point you may be missing is that we are on an English fan site. We aren't (most aren't?) equipped to judge dubs that we can't understand. I'd say most here can only speak English, right? So why criticize an English speaking community for focusing on an English dub...?

Many would agree (and your laughter agrees) that such a measure would be excessive but honestly if Freeza really is the product of an asexual parent it would make me like him more than if he actually ends up having a mother revealed. :P

This almost makes me want to make a roleplay account called "Lord Beerus" for the sole purpose of proving that guy wrong. Should I do it? I would do it if you are already in the process of thinking about it. I think making an account called "Lord Beerus" is a fun way to combat t...

Re: What are funny but dumb things you've heard a DB fan say

The whole Beerus vs Bills things serves to remind me of the current state of Dragon Ball fandom and how ridiculously heated things can get between various sides. I think everyone does need to calm down a bit though (on all sides!). The more heated conversations become the more dangerous they become ...

Re: Freeza "born from his father alone"

Well I'll be damned. Very interesting stuff to know (even though it comes out a bit vague in the interview/translation). If Freeza actually is the product of an asexual reproduction it would really fit his character.

The funniest/most entertaining thing that happened to me regarding Dragon Ball was when my friend at University mentioned to me the "new series" of Dragon Ball that was coming out. He was so sure of himself he decided to bet me 5 dollars that he was correct. Sadly for him his claim did not...

Re: Inconsistencies created by filler

Yesterday I came across the one dragon ball inconsistency in episode 33 of the original Dragon Ball anime. It was quite amusing to see Kame-Senin's explanation in the episode and I loved every second of it! I wonder who decided to come up with this (inconsistent) origin of the dragon balls? :think:

Re: Goku's mother...appearing soon?!

I just get the feeling they're going to try to explain Goku's personality through his mother, instead of the time-tested tradition of him having fallen into a canyon and hit his head. Much of his personality comes from BRAIN DAMAGE. That rock he hit his head on is his mother. I want to see Goku vis...

It's very cool to see how excited people are on here even at the possibility of Vegeta being the protagonist in a DBZ movie.

Re: Goku's mother...appearing soon?!

I'm quite excited to see Gine and I think it can only help the Dragon Ball universe. I doubt she'll play a large role in any future stories (being featured at the very end of a gag manga after all) so why not? This is a mystery that I don't mind being solved.

Re: Next DBZ Movie Featuring Vegeta?

Would that decision ultimately lie with him though? Thanks for sharing, I think it'd be refreshing to see a film where Goku isn't in the spotlight. One would think that Toriyama would have enough clout to decide the protagonist of the next movie (if indeed there is one) but with all the politics an...
