Re: Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butouden (3DS)
So... has everyone who ordered from Amazon US already gotten their copy? I've still got "preparing for shipment," although they did send me my DLC and Super Butōden 2 codes yesterday. Kind of irksome, honestly. This is why I never pre-order things. If it weren't for Super Butōden 2 , I'd h...

Re: What If: Young Seiyuu for characters
This really isn't fun to think about (and yet it keeps being brought up?), but I have to agree with B . Sakamoto and Park aren't exactly what I thought you had in mind when I read the title of this thread. I suspect that, for the foreseeable future, they'll just continue this process of tastefully r...

Re: Which Dragon Ball Saga had characters at their smartest?
I don't know if they were at their absolute "smartest," but I always really enjoyed how tactical everyone becomes during the early Freeza arc. Kuririn (who essentially becomes the leader of the group for a short while) almost immediately realizes that they're outnumbered and outmatched, an...

Re: Dragon Ball/Dragon Ball GT FUNimation inaccuracies?
We had a similar thread like this not too long ago. Here's an incomplete list of script change highlights from early on in the series. Episode 01 (Written By Eric Vale) After Goku and Uub finish their fight, Dende originally asks if that battle was Uub’s graduation ceremony. Goku says no, and states...

Re: Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butouden (3DS)
"Kuu-Zen-Zetsu-Go" getting replaced is a really annoying loss.
What's the precedent for this? We haven't had a problem with music replacements since they stopped using the Kikuchi BGM for the games. Why now?

Re: Would you mind a replacement score for the Kai 2.0 dub?
As much as I dislike Sumitomo's music in Kai and Super , the show is the show is the show is the show. Dubs shouldn't go around replacing random things within the show to make it "better." The show should give viewers the exact same experience no matter which language they're watching it i...

It's a good song with a delightful music video.

Re: DB done by Archie Comics in MM style?
While I adore Archie's Mega Man comic, I wouldn't really want the same thing for Dragon Ball . I mean, maybe I'd feel differently if Dragon Ball were just the animated series and we'd never had a comic before, but we already have a comic. The comic that started everything. With all the love I have f...

Re: Was the original Dragonball the best dub FUNI ever did?
Saying 25 years instead of 20 is NOT what I would call a significant difference. I actually beg to differ on that one. We have an entire sub-forum for members who discuss in-universe timeline stuff. It's needless confusion for the sake of nothing. None of these are big changes, nor are they terribl...

Re: Was the original Dragonball the best dub FUNI ever did?
In the early 2000s, it was a breath of fresh air compared to Z 's dub. In 2015, it's a lot harder to defend it. With all due respect, I don't see how any impartial, informed viewer could look at Dragon Ball 's dub and call it "the best" of anything. It's not even the best of FUNi's dubs fo...

Re: Who's flanderization in Super is the most disheartening?
None of these have ever bothered me to the point where I wanted to complain about them, but since there's a thread... Kuririn's "Why is it always me?" gag was worrisome. The 2013 and 2015 movies treated him with a lot of respect, and I'd hate for us to regress again. But to be fair, I thou...

Re: Do you ever feel like your love for the series is dying?
I don't think you could ever completely kill my love for this series. I'm too far down the rabbit hole by now. I do sometimes feel like certain parts I've long loved have been stripped away, though. A good musical score, for instance. It's not enough to ruin my fun, but every now and then I find mys...

Re: How did Oolong manage to stick around in the series?
He did get a tiny bit of spotlight during the 23rd Tenkaichi Tournament (as the only one who recognized ChiChi before she revealed her identity). And it always amuses me to think about how he was lucky enough to appear in nearly every single movie (beating many of the main heroes!). It probably beca...

FUNi's trailer pretty much confirms it. "Over 50 minutes of extra features only available on collectors editions and blu-ray versions." Very strongly implies that they'll be the same. You're paying a premium for a digipak, a slipcover, and postcards with the " Fr ie za " spelling...

I going to sit out on the singles this time around. Singles are taking up way too much space way too quickly in this household.
I'm sure we'll get a Dragon Ball Super song collection album eventually. I can wait.

Re: What is it that allows DBZ to appeal to older audiences?
Dragon Ball tells an interesting story with likable characters. That's all it takes. I get annoyed with both sides of the "intended audience" debate. Both the "Dude, it's not kiddy. It's epic and violent. Deal with it." crowd and the "Dude, it's for kids. We've all accepted...
