Re: Dragon Ball Z - Episodes 31-35 - Discussion Thread [Rewatch - Week 7]

The weasel’s last fart General Thoughts: This episode was, slow to say the least. A majority of it is Goku just dodging Vegeta, and charging the Genki-Dama. I dunno, maybe because of how crappy the levels based on this are in the video games, but I don’t enjoy this part as much. I liked how we see ...

Re: Dragon Ball Z - Episodes 31-35 - Discussion Thread [Rewatch - Week 7]

Episode 31: You’re father was an average fighter, but he was a brilliant scientist! General thoughts: Three words: “SAN BAI KAIŌKEN!!!” The fight continues with the 3 times Kaioken, and after seeing his own, royal blood being shed, Vegeta snaps, and fires his Gyalic Hō, or Garlic Cannon. Goku does ...

Re: Dragon Ball Z - Episodes 26-30 - Discussion Thread [Rewatch - Week 6]

Episode 30: Finally! Goku vs. Vegeta General Thoughts: What a great episode! So many awesome moments, Goku’s Kaioken against Vegeta, Vegeta’s powerup. The fight is amazing. This is also Lunch’s last appearance until the Buu arc, and is it Just me, or do you want to give her a hug. She just seems so...

Re: Dragon Ball Z - Episodes 26-30 - Discussion Thread [Rewatch - Week 6]

Episode 29: Goodbye Nappa, hello Ghost Nappa General Thoughts: Alright episode, however it has many flaws. The cutaway scene with the gang at Kame house is unneeded, and unlike last episode’s it didn’t have the same charm. Also the weirdest piece of music choice for that scene was used. To answer A...

Episode 28: Now that’s better General Thoughts: Despite the fact I’ve seen it so many times, I still get chills from Popo’s “Kami-sama! KAMI-SAMA!” The par with Urunai Baba is something that I have surprisingly forgotten about, as it is one of the few cutaway scenes that 8 actually like! Entertainm...

Episode 27: The Legend of Ebisawa General Thoughts: Fun episode. A lot of famous moments, Piccolos sacrifice, first Kienzan etc. It also has the best Chichi moment, if not the only good one. Entertainment Factor: Entertaing episode. Kept me hooked the entire time, despite its flaws. Animation: Leas...

Re: Your Dream Composer

Queen! And before you say anything, listen to Bohemian Rhapsody, Innuendo or Who wants to live forever and how beautiful they are, and unlike a certain composer, they actually know how to make GOOD synth rock.

Stand-out moments include Nappa’s rampages against the army, the reporters and Goku’s arrival. Entertainment Factor: Somewhat entertaining Animation: As already pointed out, animation...

Re: Dragon Ball Z - Episodes 6-10 - Discussion Thread [Rewatch - Week 2]

#7: Clickbait Title! Firstly, change of format. Although I’ll still be making my own titles for these episodes. General Thoughts: This episode has almost nothing going for it. It feels very disjointed, and as much as I love many of the scenes, it’s as if nothing happens. The scenes with Kuririn at ...

Okay, I’m being way too harsh here. it’s not as bad as some other episodes (*COUGH* *COUGH* Ep. 39) The scenes of Gohan’s training, as well the scenes in the Other World don’t look too bad, however, as pointed out by gaberparadiso, they were animate...

Re: Dragon Ball Z - Episodes 1-5 - Discussion Thread [Rewatch - Week 1]

...a “ChiChi Scene.” A scene that is incredibly pointless with a very minor character/characters lamenting over talking about a character/ characters, which can sometimes take up a whole episode (Ep. 137, correct me if I’m wrong, has long flashback)... Just realised it was episode 128 that I was ta...

Re: Dragon Ball Z - Episodes 1-5 - Discussion Thread [Rewatch - Week 1]

Thoughts: Such a cool fight. I love it so much. It’s a fight were you can remember every detail of it, and this whole episode is animated beautifully. Goku looking down into the crater. The grass flying up as Goku and Piccolo charge towards Raditts. Goku’s Kamehameha. Gohan destroying the Saiyan spa...

#3: Blue-haired Raditts! Thoughts: Better than episode 2 in some regards, but worse in others. It takes a whole episode to get from Raditts taking off with Gohan, until the fight between Goku & Piccolo and Raditts starts. However, I must admit that it doesn’t feel as long, and drawn out as episo...

Re: Dragon Ball Z - Episodes 1-5 - Discussion Thread [Rewatch - Week 1]

There is a lot, but it's well done. Raditz has a reason to tell the information. He's not giving it just because the author feels he needs to impart the info to the audience, unlike say Cell's exposition dump when we first meet him. Raditz is trying to recruit Goku, so it makes sense that he would ...

#2: Exposition Everywhere! Language: Japanese, again, which I will be using for all 291 episodes. Thoughts: Too. Much. Exposition. I can handle dialogue heavy episodes, but the amount of Dialogue in this is ludicrous. Unlike episode 36, episode 2 is just a small reunion, and then for a majority of t...

Re: Knowing the story in advance: let's polish it

Maybe make ChiChi a fighter. Would this affect her role as a mother in anyway? Well she could attempt a fight with Goku! Chi-Chi being a fighter only seemed to come up when Goten mentions that she trains him while Gohan is at school, which I thought was fun. I think by saying "make her a fight...

#1: Dragon Ball Episode 154? I started watching Dragon Ball with the Abridged series. I never grew up with it as I was too young during its original run here in Australia, and Kai has never aired on an free-to-air channel. I thought it was good, and I eventually caught up to it by watching clips on ...
