Re: Funi's Kai dub and accuracy

It sucks that there was no consistency with the attack names. From what I have heard Kai's dubbing was chaotic apparently there was at least three different Funi Dub tracks being recorded. Uncut, Edited and CW. I recall this being the case too. For whatever mix of time, circumstances, and creative ...

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 54 - DBZ 75-79 (CURRENT WEEK)

Watching these again I have to appreciate how much thought Toriyama put in to preventing the Dragon Balls from resolving the Freeza fight before it begins. Porunga can grant 3 wishes, but in exchange he can't quite do everything, and he certainly cannot intuit the unspoken details of your wishes! :l...

Re: MistareFusion's Dragon Ball Dissection! (Updated 12/31/20!)

There have been so many "topical" episodes for the Buu arc so far, but then Buu's continuous story swerving really invites it. I didn't expect the Videl vs Spopovitch video to open with "Do you ever realize the Tenkaichi Buodkai has no rules?" :clap: I've always appreciated just ...

I've been following the rewatch threads a bit but have never posted and just want to say I appreciate Robo and KBABZ doing so much with the trivia sections, they are worth the stop by by themselves. I do agree with Slug being the first sign of the initial DBZ movie formula wearing out its welcome, a...

Re: The Path to Piccolo's Redemption

The question for me has always been how much of his own man Piccolo Jr. is- and his ceding his tournament loss to Goku and the resulting detente has never struck me as something old King Piccolo would have settled for. And in that case, if Piccolo isn't a 1:1 of his daddy, then suddenly we have a ch...

Re: Can we talk about the Funimation Movie Soundtracks?

I need to give the dubs with the licensed music another listen, but I recall thinking they didn't fit with Dragon Balls bright and round aesthetic, even if some of the movies that used them were in very dim battlefields! I do like some of Mark Menza's tunes for the later movies, Gogeta's theme, the ...

Re: Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3 Competitive Tier List

I do appreciate Budokai breakdowns, as I always found the games so stiff (until Shin Budokai, at least) and all the characters being built from a handful of skeletons so obvious that I couldn't find meaningful ways to compare them.

Re: Anyone else think BT2 had one of the worst story modes of any of these games?

There is something to be said for Tenkaichi 2's being "thorough to a fault", the few characters it was lacking aside. In glut of of endless Dragon Ball games that is a small honor to take. T3's looks a lot smaller at first, but all the optional scene transitions packed into each fight make...

Oh good timing, I finally got around to this and Path to Power last week.

You think the cut to Krillin on the buffalo is going to be a reprieve ...

Probably wealthy but weak, or at least not superhuman, aliens that use him to get what they want.

Re: So, did DBZ Movie 14, and everything after scratched your DB itch?

The notion of an "itch" really has two different meanings; what you want in a Dragon Ball follow up from as a story, and the feelings and experiences that that brings, to go with however you remember experiencing the original stuff at the time. For the latter, having brand new Dragon Ball ...
