Re: Funimations 30th anniversary collectible home video release

Sad thing is, I actually remember certain people bad mouthing the Level sets on this forum when they were released. I really think Funi has reached the point of ‘damned if we do, damned if we don’t’. With the stuff Funi do, I don’t think I’ll ever own DB on a physical release. I’ve always held off f...

Re: DBZ Got Lucky...

The Beatles Got Lucky... Yup. There wasn't much competition when they came out that was doing what the group was doing. Not like today where any of these bands could compete with them or do better. The fab 4 was lucky enough to come up with the concept of the boy band before everyone else and had no...

Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" dub seems to be coming...

You havent seen the 4kids One Piece dub. So what? It didn't replace the Japanese One Piece nor Funimation's dub, right? So what's the problem? Whilst I agree with you, I'd just like to say that I think the hatred towards the 4kids dub of One Piece stemmed from the fact it painted a very bad picture...

Re: Vic Mignogna

There's nothing possessive about talking shit to people and not learning to control yourself, he still is like that even ...

Re: Which of FUNimation's Name Changes Bother You the Most?

I've fortunately reached a point where I don't care anymore..

That being said - Tri Beam doesn't have the same ring as Kikoho and Special Beam Cannon is uninspired and sounds like an attack name invented by an edgy 9 year old (I would've been that 9 year old).

Re: Fan Perceptions of Son Goku's characterization: Then vs Now

It wasn't until I rewatched a portion of Dragonball (in the form of Kai: TFC to be exact), that I realised Toei had sort of messed up Goku's character in Super. Goku's always had his fairshare of goofball moments throughout the series, but it's dialled to the extreme in Super. It actually reminds me...

Re: "Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters" FUNimation English Dub Official Announcement and Discussion Thread

I finally watched The Final Chapters all the way through and I can safely say this is a far more definitive way of watching the entire Buu saga. There are moments where it drags - SSJ3 Goku vs. Fat Buu didn't wow me as much as I remember. I began to get burnt out with the Gotenks vs. Buu fight with ...

Re: Questions for people who grew up with the Westwood dub

I just didn't understand the logic of having all these different dubs. I could tolerate going from the Ocean Dub to Funimation, but then it went back to the original Ocean actors sounding a hell of a lot less passionate than they were in their original incarnation. It just struck me as bizarre. I re...

Re: Is Hunter X Hunter the next DBZ blow out?

The glory days of anime on television being HUGE in the west are over. That initial boom of anime in the late 90s and early 2000s was something which could only happen at that point in time, before the likes of websites like Youtube or Crunchyroll as well as fast internet speeds. This target audienc...

Re: Do you think Dragon Ball had too much perv moments ?

I'm not always the greatest fan of distasteful jokes, but it doesn't necessarily merit censorship or people making a fuss over it. I'm not big on Family Guy anymore really, having found more jokes that to me just seemed to be trying to be edgy and going for shock value rather than actual humor, but...

Re: What's your most recent Dragonball purchase?

http://i62.tinypic.com/sd0745.jpg Valentines presents. Some weird flavoured Dragonball soda, and a 4 starred Dragonball. The thing which struck me is how there's a tiny Dragonball Kai logo on the back of the can, and yet it's Buu arc material (they also had a can with Kid Buu). Not sure if they put...

Re: DBZ Memorable Action Show For 90s Kids?

I second the MMPR thing. Power Rangers was truly a worldwide phenomenon. Dragonball Z over here in the UK was really only popular amongst kids who had cable or satellite, which was quite costly back in the day. By the time most people had satellite TV, I believe Dragonball Z was pretty much into the...

Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" dub seems to be coming.

What is the point of an Ocean dub of Kai at this point? Sure, it seemed like a possibility when the UK didn't have Kai, but we now have Funimation's version of Kai on the channel 'Kix'. Isn't it just a waste of time when one takes that into consideration? Unless they would try to get the Ocean vers...

Tell me, when watching the three stooges for example, is your family shocked by the gratuitous violence? What they do in that show, like for example hitting other people with an hammer in the head, is violent, disrespectful of other's well being and much more harmful in reality than nudity or sex. ...

Let's just say I wouldn't want to watch any uncut Dragonball in front of my family. It seems unacceptable the way Roshi is portrayed in the anime, and some of the stuff mentioned in this thread (Oolong wanting to drug Bulma.. I forgot about that..) are pretty disgraceful. I guess the only way one ca...
