Hey guys, just got here myself. Pretty crazy stuff. It's like Japan Saban'd themselves.

Any word on when Funimation is bringing Kai to the US, yet?

Yeah, I'm not seeing this 'distinction' Toriyama or most the people in this thread are referring to. Unless it's something utterly lost in translation in the Viz version of the manga, I don't really understand what the anime or movies do that isn't an established character trait he's already shown i...

One of the hot topics of discussion for Dragon Ball Z: Fukkatsu no F is that Vegeta should have gotten the final blow against Freeza, instead of just giving it to Goku again . Fans are rightly tired of Goku hogging all the spotlight, so I've taken the time to write up a list of other great character...

Choose: it's either the true continuation of the manga as if writing for new published pages, or it's self-contained movies which is never what we would have seen in the manga, which is therefore a false vision of what a continuation would be like. Or the third option, the Goku and Friends approach...

I distinctly remember BOG's summary didn't show everything, so I've decided no matter my reaction to it once it shows up that there's probably still more to see. Everyone will be looking for something different, and would write the summary differently. Yeah. These spoilers are nice for us who can't...

Since some folks have done movies, I'll throw in some of my favorites... Sleeping Princess Mystical Adventure Return My Gohan! World's Strongest Man Super Battle for the Whole Earth Ten-Billion Powerful Warriors A Final Solitary Battle Galaxy At the Brink Rebirth of Fusion The Path to Ultimate Power...

This made my eyes glaze over. They aren't seriously going to do more than one or two more of these, right?

Even though within this period there are definitely highlight moments (and a small handful after it), I think the best stretch of Dragon Ball starts with episode 17, "With Life At Stake! Milk Delivery" and goes with a fury of awesomeness til Trunks shows up. For those who like TVTropes, Mi...

Hey man, no reason to immediately jump down my throat. No, the Dragon Box and Kai are not the 'true colours' nor do they match the Japanese broadcast. The Dragon Boxes have significant colour shift due to aging film so you can't label it as 'Japanese Broadcast'. Kai has its own colour palette that t...

IIRC, everything Funi has put out, apart from their import release of the Dragon Box Z, has been from the original masters purchased from Toei animation back when Gen Fukunaga first had the crazy scheme in his brain to bring the show to American shores. Their "remastering" processes can o...

Dragon Ball Z Movie 3 and Dragon Ball Movie 3, Super Decisive Battle for the Planet Earth and Mystical Grand Adventure, respectively. DBZ 3 is absolutely everything I love about early DBZ rolled up into a single movie. You have parallels and subtext out the wazoo, which you get so rarely in a DB/Z p...

To be perfectly fair, the movie was marketed in general as a much more serious tone then it had. So if some fans went in expecting that based on the marketing it isn't entirely their fault to have those expectations shattered by a decidedly different tone. This is exactly it. It was sold to us as T...

-If you aren't watching it in Japanese, I don't feel like you're part of the discussion. It's like a fan of the Lord of the Rings films trying to discuss the vast canon of JRR Tolkien's works with a Tolkien scholar, as if the two were actually seeing the same thing (hint: they weren't). -Takao Koyam...

Naive at first, and then just relaxed as he gets older. He'll never not be ignorant of some things, but he's learned to roll with the figurative punches on those things and leave them to his betters (Chichi, Gohan, Bulma, Kuririn).

On this note... someone to wish back Kouhei Miyauchi, Daisuke Gori, and Takeshi Aono.... ;____;

A spin off series starring SSJ Bardock back in the ancient past, traveling through space as a lone gunslinger type. Sci fi western with Bardock as the protag. Fuck yeah.

Goku and Vegeta are always best when they're bros.

87-91. What's not to love about these muscles?

I don't like the Funi dub, and I didn't really care for BoG. These two things don't feel related though, as I didn't watched BoG dubbed, and haven't seen much of the franchise dubbed.

Dragon Ball is not mine. It's his. He created it. I follow his words no matter how they conflict with my understandings. I always overwright my old "canon" with newly given info. "As a passionate believer in the democracy of reading, I don’t think it’s the task of the author of a boo...
