Kanzenshuu

Honestly, I much rather prefer the Kai treatment to a whole new anime. I don't really like the current style of anime and do really like the fact that they used footage from the DBZ era. It helps bring the nostalgia, and it allows DBZ to retain its older spirit.

Would be such a different beast than what we currently have. I am not big on the current shonen anime, and I think the all the tropes in shonen manga are pretty annoying (DB or otherwise) and just limits the story being told. So I'd enjoy the series way way less if it was a byproduct of our current ...

Depends on the theater that it will get released into. If it ever made it into Arclight or some of the really nice theaters in L.A. I'd definitely have a watch. If it's some local art theater with crappy seating I'd be way less inclined, so I hope that Funimation goes all out in terms of selecting t...

For my wife it was all about starting from DBZ. I was getting the DBoxes at the time and we watched up around the Cell tournament. She really enjoyed the story but thought that the anime took way too much time for it to be very satisfying. That's why when we finally got around to Kai she really real...

I thought it was 69, not 66.

And I can see it being that long if they leave a lot of the filler with the fights intact. Those fights in Z sure took a long time...

Funny enough I was just watching the old Z anime and I have to say that, at least in the Buu arc, I don't really enjoy it as much as I remember. Especially compared to the current Kai iteration that we have right now. Whatever qualms people may have with the Buu arc of Kai and it's misuse of musical...

This episode was fantastic! The score is not only starting to really grow on me (humming it in my car on my way to get groceries) but the new tracks introduced in this episode were fantastic! Really looking forward to future episodes now, especially with the eventual arrival of Buu. I forgot how won...

Kū-Zen-Zetsu-Go!

It actually gets me excited to watch Kai! Something that Dragon Soul failed to do for me. And yes, I can't wait for the full release either!

The wife and I both enjoyed this episode quite a lot! The pace and editing is more than fine for me, and even if I thought things were rushed (which they aren't, for me at least) it would still be loads better than the original Z anime, knowing how long that takes. I can say that I'm genuinely impre...

If we ever get this story (from Toriyama or anyone else) I will blame you and your post for starting it.

First time I've heard about it. But honestly... I'd probably pick these up if they were for cheap at Target or Wal-mart.

This episode ended up being ok for me. I didn't notice any problems with Goku's arrival until I went on this thread so it isn't something that really bugs me all too much. I really appreciate the speed at which these episodes are flying by though. Several months ago I had been watching the Z anime w...

I can't answer any of your questions OP but I'd be interested to know what year the IC started to air DBZ and GT episodes. Sounds so glorious though....

To me, Freeza is the most evil because unlike Daimao, Cell, or Buu, he made the conscious decision to be who he was.

That's something I can agree with you on. Also Freeza refused Goku's sparing of his life and tried to kill him after, something that Piccolo did not do at the end of DB.

Daimao is Kami's evil given physical form, whereas the Piccolo we know and love is his son who was given his knowledge and power, but is his own person. And yet Piccolo is still very much Daimao even as he is his own person. This is referenced very well in Dragon Ball, and I've seen this debated on...

In-universe, Vegeta is a good guy by the end of the manga. This is confirmed at the end of the Buu Arc when Porunga revives everyone who died that day, "except the bad guys." Vegeta was brought back, ergo, he's not evil. I believe Goku even says something to that effect. As I see it, the ...

Daizenshuu 1 was also released in the US . It's got to be supply and demand. Viz won't even do a print release of the full color manga for the entire series, so getting a guidebook translated and released seems even less likely. If you research how often the DC and Marvel Encyclopedia's and "D...

I really don't believe so. I have many friends who enjoy the original Funi dub and there is nothing between us that ever makes things heated. I think it's just the kind of environment a message board can create that makes many conversations so polarized. So for me, this whole fandom divide in the U....
