Re: How high would you rank the Garlic Jr. Saga?
Of course it has the same problem that any filler arc does where you know that it can't possibly have any lasting ramifications on the main story, but overall I always liked it. Always good to see Piccolo get the spotlight he deserves. As an adult it has a fairly specific appeal to me. I love to bin...

Re: Why did the dub keep Hercule's name in Super Hero?
I didn't personally mind either, in a movie all about throwbacks it was a little throwback for a lot of us dub-diet fans here in the US. Though it is funny, we're on something of a generational cusp. I took my ten year old son to see it and he's only ever watched the uncut English dub, so he doesn't...

Re: Why did the dub keep Hercule's name in Super Hero?
I thought that was very odd too. The only thing I could think of is that there may have been some consideration that this particular product was going to be seen by an abnormally high number of people (sure enough it was), and since he was only being referenced and not featured the writers used both...

Re: Pioneer Movie Trilogy box scan
That's awesome, thank you! Always had the singles of these so I may have to give this a try. Any material you recommend in particular for recreating them? Just glossy photo paper on cardstock?

Re: Nickelodeon & Nicktoons airings
Always really fascinated by this time period. I never had a good enough cable package to get Nicktoons, but I used to occasionally catch a GT episode when I would visit my sister a couple towns over. I had no idea they aired so many of the movies.

Re: Dragon Ball GT Ending; Moving or Depressing?
I really do enjoy the ending myself. I wouldn't call it depressing, but it certainly is melancholy. I think that actually suits it well too. I've always thought it had kind of a "last day of school" feeling.

Re: What DragonBall means to you?
Like a lot of things I'm a fan of, it really has to do with the community sense more than anything. My entire social circle in school was into it. Something you share with friends will always stick with you and keep you wanting more.

Re: Anyone see the BLT dub during its initial broadcast?
I didn't catch it durring the original run. In fact I don't think it was airing on any of my local affiliates at the time (I didn't have cable, only broadcast tv and I would seek out any and all animation). So like most folks I started with DBZ, and didn't even realize it had been produced until pro...

Re: Why Won’t Toei, Bandai, etc. Release the SDBH Anime West, Again?
It's surprising how many people watch it fansubbed on YouTube. It makes sense what others were saying that it was meant to promote a game which is only available in Japan so probably no reason to release the anime in countries that don't have the game. It's released for free in Japan online so it a...

Re: Has anyone heard anything else about the Frontier Enterprises Dub?
I've actually read about this on the Lost Media Wiki. Really fascinating, but the general lack of information and age of the product make the search that much more difficult. Your best bet may be to turn to the lost media community on the wiki forums, or through Youtube. They've been able to find so...

Re: What's this clip from?
I'm a fan of some filler, but I always found this stuff to be especially awkward. Filler, in an all filler arc, that has absolutely nothing to do with A-plot. It's so far removed that is barely even seems real.

Re: GT had a good conclusion for Goku
I had such mixed feelings about GT for years, because unfortunately I let my first exposure be the disastrous first Funimation version. To be honest, the franchise had almost fallen off of my radar by that point anyway, so it really struck me the wrong way. It wasn't until I started randomly picking...

Re: Cell defeats Gohan and the Z Fighters - What's next?
I think this would be an interesting alternate future to explore, much like Trunks' alternate reality with the Androids. Maybe he stays on earth until Babidi and Dabura show up to awaken Buu? Maybe he wakes him up himself? Eslseworlds and What-Ifs are some of my favorite things in comic books, I'd l...

Re: Are there characters in the show that remind you of anyone?
I think that's one of the corner stones of long term success with any series, create strong archetypal characters so that every reader/viewer can see someone they know somwhere in the cast. Maybe that person is even themself. It comes in little bits. 17 reminds me of my brother, Yamcha reminds me of...

Re: Funny unknown tidbit
Ah yes, the game with the Scottish man with the gaping flame vagina. Good times. Makes me want to watch the AVGN Jaguar episode more than anything honestly, but very interesting that they referenced Dragon Ball seamlessly here. Like, before it was even a cultural phenomenon. EDIT: Just noticed that...

Your personal misconceptions?
Inspired by a recent post about "Kami teaching Goku to value life", I had a thought. I'm sure this is a topic that pops up from time to time, but what are some of the misconceptions you had personally in the early days of your fandom? For instance, when I was first watching Z on Toonami, I...

Re: What are your thoughts on parents trashing on the DB franchise?
My folks were always skeptical about stuff from another perspective. They didn't really care about what I watched in terms on content, My dad used to let me watch Robocop and Highlander and stuff with him, but they were always worried I'd get carried away with a fad. They always seemed to think if I...
