On the same note can anyone shed light on the Canadian/Westwood opening theme? As I recall even the Saban episodes in Canada aired with the Canadian opening, which confusingly also contains the lyrics "Rock the Dragon" somewhere in the middle. I believe its the "Dragon, Dragon Ball, ...

what I would give (or pay) for a westwood release in any format, DVD, SD Blu ray, what have you. I have to hold out hope that the right person will come along at crunchyroll or whatever powers that be that own the distribution rights and make it their hobby horse project but until then! I've wanted...

The YTV airings are quite unique, not only were they the only channel outside of Europe to air the Westwood and Blue Water dubs but for episodes 53-167 of Dragon Ball Z, when the Funimation inhouse cast was still being heard on Canadian TV you got a separate cut of that dub than what Toonami US got...

As a Canadian fan we of course didn't have Toonami as DBZ aired on YTV(typo corrected) and the end product was a mishmash of the Saban sub, the original funimation dub and finally the westwood dub from somewhere in the middle of the Cell Games onward. Having said that we were still exposed to "...

Until recently, I had always assumed that the Funimation Singles weren't cropped. Probably cause they're in 4:3 aspect. This was until I decided to compare the colours between the releases, and my gosh... It's pretty bad. I believe that while they are cropped they are no worse that what was broadca...

Story should have ended with Z, that ending was basically perfect.

GT also does well as a lower-quality denouement to Z, it's more or less acceptable.

I do not consider Super canon, would be best if it just faded way but that's not going to happen.

Back in the olden days, you usually knew which character was stronger than which, and that in turn for one thing made it all the more special when someone much weaker than someone else managed to somehow deal damage to the stronger person. We all remember how epic it was when Tien managed to hold b...

One important question though... the ultimate effect these things have is division & confusion even if they do have merit. And, well, why is it "OK" for DB but not for most any other series of its kind? The things is I don't think you can really avoid division and confusion when it co...

Without getting into all the issues with Kai from a quality standpoint (many others can expound on this at length and even a previous commenter covers much of it here) the main thing for me is that even conceptually it is an edited down, largely unnecessary alternative to Dragon Ball Z. The whole &q...

The fights are with the following rule: The fighter on the right has the same power level as the fighter on the left. Ex: Nappa x saiyan arc Yamcha: Nappa had 4000 power lvl so Yamcha would face Nappa as though he had 4000 power lvl. (similar strenght/speed) No transformations allowed. Intelligence...

I never WAS talking about DB specifically, only about the general idea of dub changes = automatically bad. Well I mean, in the context of a thread like this on a site like this you are at least tangentially talking about DB. But I largely agree with you. The question is never really whether one sho...

So I just got my hands on my first Dragon Boxes and I have to say... they are nice. Starting with the packaging and overall presentation - really top notch and puts a smile on your face right away. I thought the Dragon Books would have been bigger/thicker than they are in person but the overall qual...

It's interesting how no one else among the team caught the virus despite frequently being around Goku, implying that the virus was either unique in that it only affected Goku...or it wasn't a virus. It's possible that the medicine that Trunks gave Goku was merely a placebo or had been regulated to ...

There's valid critiques of Buu, but most of the resentment towards it is because of how it treated Gohan, and I think that's because of the anime placing a lot of extra focus on Gohan. In the manga, Gohan's second-stringer status was a lot more apparent, in fact it was the Cell saga that felt like ...

Luckily both Dragon Ball and One Piece have great starts, and Dragon Ball stays good all the way through - OP unfortunately doesn't. Folks that hate the Buu arc will disagree. I can understand some people starting to raise eyebrows during the Buu saga but hate ? There are people out there that like...

It probably shouldn't even be a matter of "when it gets good" in the first place; If it isn't for you, then it isn't, regardless of what the series may or may not become later on. Agree to an extent with the caveat that it really depends on what the first exposure is. Imagine if the first...

I can see what you mean and what you're getting at, at least with the comparison of the two tracks you posted but I don't think I agree. Not sure we even need a middle ground or some kind of compromise on sound, most of the time if you try to make everyone happy you'll end up making no one happy. Fo...

But given Funimation completely rescored the show to sound less kung fu and more Batman Beyond, continuously screwed up plot points and made continuity fuck ups , and downplayed the show eastern roots as much as humanly possible they certainly don't deserve that benefit of the doubt I mean in all f...

It's a unique voice but so is Linda's , same goes for his laugh, very regal and memorable but also love Linda's. I feel Young does the moments of blind rage better but they both have the range needed for the character. It legitimately sounds more like Rita Repulsa to me (and not just because others...
