Re: FUNimation to put DBZ on Blu-Ray

I recorded the part of Funi's panel where they started talking about DBZ Blu-ray. Sorry for the shakyness in the beginning. I was raising my hands in the sky too :mrgreen: As did I, in HD no less, heh: http://youtu.be/WlHxtQbAePI I apologize for the schlub that was marking out next to me ("Kak...

Re: FUNimation to put DBZ on Blu-Ray

Sigh Why does Funimation always give DBZ the cheesiest trailers. :roll: Will make judgements when a high quality version of the trailer comes out. And the trailers for the Dragon Boxes weren't? Granted, they riffed off the original Japanese trailers for their Dragon Box releases, but yeah, those ca...

Re: Dragonball Kai (FUNimation English) Dub: General Discuss

They should have hired a different voice actor for Piccolo then. If stuff like that happens use a new actor. Simple but then I bet Sabat doesn't want to give up that role for somebody more "fitting"? Scott McNeil's phone line is probably not that busy :lol: Chris Sabat said at Anime USA l...

Re: Dragonball Z Kai - Part 4 Cover

Complaining about the cover art is utterly pointless. I tend to agree with this sentiment, Mike. I'd rather complain about the fact that they're sticking to 13 episodes, when the Freeza arc ends at Episode 54. Why FUNi didn't want to add 2 more episodes to their set is beyond me (other than comprom...

Re: DragonBall Z Kai Cable TV Version (NickToons) Edits! *Ep 28*

Wow, why would they change a whole line just to change one little word from "jerks" to "punks." Seems like a pointless edit. Unfortunately, they were told to change it by Nickelodeon's standards dept. Moreover, whoever told FUNi to change "jerk" completely missed the o...

Re: Why Z Kai?

Please excuse the brief '90s flashback: Because Toei said so. (And that's the bottom line.) It's simple, and makes sense when you think about it. If Toei thinks it will make more sense to put the Z in, outside of Japan, they will do so. As for me, I just ignore the Z and just call it Kai. (Like how ...

"Right Now Another DBZ Fan Is Born"

This cute moment happened at Anime USA this weekend , while the AMV room was playing my DBZ video from 2008 ("Earth's Last Hope"). One of our Katsu staffers came in with toddler in tow, and as they were watching, the little one walked toward the screen mesmerized by the larger-than-life i...

I think I might have all of you beat, since I'm well past age 21. :) I think Mike and Meri once discussed this on a podcast episode a long time ago. I still like Dragon Ball (and Z/Kai) because I haven't yet seen every single episode yet. There's still more things I need to discover. Oh, I know the ...

There's an ad in RightStuf's latest catalog advertising for Z Kai Part 3. I figured I'd take a picture of it and show it to everyone who doesn't get the catalog. Yeah. If by "anti-hero" they meant "badass guy who turned into a grumpy and easily irritated uncle", then yes. I alwa...

Re: "Not 'til the fish jumps"

In the dub of the show they say "Is it over?".....Not til the fish jumps".....Okay, its over" and then the movie ends. I thought that was just absolutely hilarious, so I wanted to get people opinion on it. I'm late to the party, I know, but I always thought of it as a little oma...

Re: Bardock Appreciation Thread

Interesting to see someone else's take on the Bardock TV Special and Bardock himself. I guess because I have a soft spot for badasses, Bardock turned me on so. But looking at it from your perspective, his fate was cruel AND justified. For the death and destruction he and his race caused, he and his ...

Re: DB relationships

As for my thoughts on yaoi... I love yaoi, but eh, I don't think DBZ is that romantic or even emotional of a series to begin with. I can appreciate the canon pairings, but Toriyama isn't necessarily the best writer of them. Goku/Vegeta is kinda cute, but Goku is also so non-romantic, so ehhhh. So G...

I'm more of a bara fan myself ("Bara" from "Barazoku" which used to be a semi-prominent gay magazine years ago in Japan), and I like a decently-written fanfic or doujinshi of DBZ characters, especially when these authors/artists actualy have an idea as to how gay people make love...

Re: Dragonball stuff on regular television

I do remember on an early episode of CSI:NY, in the opening segment, the camera is taking a revolving shot of three supporting characters in a conversation, and there's a fleeting shot of SSJ Goku on the side of a truck. The clip is on YouTube somewhere. :)

Re: "DragonBall Z Kai" TV Broadcast Talkback

I don't recall any spiced up dialogue in Full Metal Alchemist I do. (citation needed) To my knowledge, other than the occasional mild expletive (but no major four-letter words), they kept the dialogue pretty much faithful throughout. Maybe it was because FMA was more of a serious shounen show than ...
