Re: Toonami Rewind Block On Fridays.

I wonder if a Toonami channel would work in the US, like what the UK and Ireland had from 2003 to 2007? I know historically Cartoon Network has liked the perk of royalties that come with their original programming, but does anyone watch the main channel anymore? Might be better at this point to jus...

Re: Toonami Rewind Block On Fridays.

but like someone else said (I believe Dragon Ball Ireland), if Japan is airing Daima on Fuji TV, why not elsewhere too? Yup, Daima will be airing on Fuji TV . I could be wrong but if its coming to traditional TV in Japan I don't know why other territories would be any different. It may premiere exc...

Re: Toonami Rewind Block On Fridays.

I was about to PM you but the site didnt work and I couldnt. Thank god you already knew. I think this is a great way to bring back hype (Both word of mouth AND ratings) to Adult Swim and Toonami. I think this was a terrific decision. And I think you might actually get a kick out of Sailor Moon, it ...

Re: Toonami Rewind Block On Fridays.

Sailor Moon is trending on Twitter along with Toonami Rewind. This tells me this broadcast is getting the word of mouth hype it needed to succeed. Saw that myself. I even tweeted as I watched Rewind. Never watched Sailor Moon before today, but my older cousin had VHS tapes of it. Don't think I'm go...

Re: What is the best GT video game experience?

Probably Budokai Tenkaichi 2 and 3 especially 3 since there are more GT matches i dont remember if Budokai Tenkaichi 1 had GT matches Budokai Tenkaichi 1 had a couple for Baby-Vegeta and Super 17, plus a random match where Future Trunks battles Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta, but that was it.

Crunchyroll is re-releasing the Dragon Ball Super Complete Series steelbook set

Just wanted to let everyone know that Crunchyroll is re-releasing the Dragon Ball Super Complete Steelbook Set on July 31 so if you missed your chance to get it, here's another one.

Re: Kai is overdue for a new home release

I think we all know the biggest hurdle to a new release of Dragon Ball Kai... Crunchyroll can't use the Kenji Yamamoto score, so it's doomed to be inferior to the old Parts for more fans. As Cure Dragon 255 suggested though, there is a way around that, which would be a MASSIVE selling point for a n...

Kai is overdue for a new home release

Funimation/Crunchyroll have re-released DBZ MULTIPLE TIMES while ignoring the other series and even recently, Super got the steelbook set and double-season sets. Obviously, this has been discussed already, but something I find truly odd is that despite Kai being 14 years old now as far as the dub go...

OMG IT'S MECHA 3000! AWESOME! Great to see you again bud! Hey, man! Good to see you again too (or read from you again). Always nice to see Dragon Ball still have a presence on TV, as discussed on your Toonami Rewind thread. Hopefully, episode 590 gets released physically, but if not, it just proves...

Re: Toonami Rewind Block On Fridays.

Honestly, this is awesome, if not also slightly irrelevant in 2024. As a 13 year old back in 2010, it sucked not to have Naruto Shippuden and Dragon Ball Z Kai airing on Cartoon Network together. Sure, we have them airing on Saturday night Adult Swim Toonami, but teen me would've LOVED for Kai and S...

Did the dub of One Piece Episode 590 ever get released physically?

I know it's on Hulu, but I'm a physical media guy and would love to own this because it could always get taken off streaming. And considering it is also a DBZ crossover, it'd be a shame if it just stayed streaming-only.

Toonami doing Kai marathon in honor of Toriyama

https://x.com/ToonHive/status/1767260662453903849?s=20 Pretty cool although some people wanted classic Z episodes. And also, I feel like dedicating all of Toonami to Dragon Ball would've been better with random episodes of Dragon Ball, Z, GT, Kai, and Super. But hey, it's better than nothing and pro...

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.

Nice to see that seemingly in light of the news, Wikipedia finally updated Toriyama's picture from him sitting kind of less dignified (not like that's an issue, though) like a giddy kid at the SJ American launch TO him in his late 20s smiling wide in a more dignified black and white photo similar to...

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.

Is it just me or did Stan Lee not even get this big of a reaction after his passing? I never thought Akira Toriyama's death would impact people more than the guy who helped create Spider-Man and revolutionize Marvel overall.

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.

I don't think its at all an exaggeration at this point to cite Toriyama as one of the single most influential and globally impactful Japanese Manga artists of all time. Top 5 without question, alongside Osamu Tezuka, Go Nagai, and Leiji Matsumoto. No doubt about that. Shotaro Ishinomori, Runiko Tak...
