Re: Any Tips On How To Draw DB Characters?

If you wanna learn to draw Dragonball, in particular, then draw a lot of Dragonball. Keep drawing, and keep learning from them, so that you're always getting better. Basic drawing skills are always good to know, so try to learn perspective, shapes, angles, etc. And, for character art, anatomy will h...

Re: Computer animated DB film?

I think it would be a great idea!...if its in capable hands. I don't mind it going off-story, either. I mean, I can enjoy the movies and specials just fine, and those change quite a bit. Just look at the Path to Power movie. The recent Astroboy movie was enjoyable, for what it is. A Dragonball movie...

Re: Favourite character

Definitely, Son Goku, particularly when he was just a runt. But every other person has picked Goku, so I'm gonna go with a couple off the wall favorites. Tao Pai Pai, because he kills people with his tongue and flies on objects he throws! He's such a badass, and that particular volume of the manga i...

Re: Fans know more than Toriyama ?

Well, actually we know Toriyama came up with Cell after his editor wasn't pleased with any of the prior androids. True. But perhaps he drew a grasshopper or cicada type monster for a design that didn't bear any fruit. Then, afterwards, dug it up later, like it, revised it, and threw it in. Who know...

Re: Fans know more than Toriyama ?

Akira Toriyama has probably forgotten more than the combined fandom will ever know. Especially little things that never come to realization because of not being able to find a place for it. For instance, perhaps he had a whole backstory laid out for Yajirobe; he did seem to be Goku's gluttonous, cow...

Re: Where is this cel from?

It looks like an eye-catch, but I don't remember any like that. Perhaps its for a commercial. I have a DBZ VHS fansub from the Buu saga, and it has a commercial of a Dragonball desk on it. I'm sure there are tonnes more merchandise out there.

Re: Dragon Ball vs. Naruto?

I've liked all of those four big shonen series at some point; Dragonball, Naruto, One Piece, and Bleach. They all have their good points, but are all fairly different. Dragonball, for instance, is a humorous, spontaneous, happy-go-lucky adventure around a zany, magical world mixed with martial arts....

Re: Did you watch DBZ without any spoilers?

I wish. Curtis Hoffman summaries spoiled everything for me. Of course, I did read it from the beginning (save for what was already shown in America), and it is kind of like reading it in novel form, so perhaps not so spoiled. Also, soon after, I read the scanslations (from Suushinchuu, or Wuken, I t...

Re: Who has the most haxxed abilities

Aside from everything else that has been mentioned, Tenshinhan's Shin Kikoho is pretty overly powerful. Piccolo, who is many times stronger than Tenshinhan, could do nothing against Cell's second form with his most powerful blast. Tenshinhan, on the other hand, held him at bay, giving the others a c...

Re: What are some weird assumptions that you've made?

Back in the old EGM's ('93 or '94?), they had DBZ Super Butoden in the import sections. They mentioned something about Cell killing Goku, and I thought that was the last of Goku and hes just making a cameo in the game like future Trunks. And back when the original 13 Dragonball episodes were release...

Re: The Saiya-jin warrior Radditz

I, for one, think Raditz is pretty badass. He is, afterall, the first villain to bring about the death of Goku (though the honor of killing him went to Piccolo). The only other person who was able to do that was Cell, through a similar means, self-sacrifice on Goku's part. It would have been cool to...

Oh yea, at one point in high school, back in '99, I knew the words to Hironobu Kageyama's English versions of CHA-LA HEAD CHA-LA, We Gotta Power, and Bokutachi Wa Tenshi Datta.

I see it coming down all over town and its chaos,
