lol, It's all good. This is the only site where I've ever seen grammar rules. Then again, I'm on like 50 rap boards. As for the video, the guy who uploaded it seems to favor the Ocean version, and I have no idea why. FUNi's is always better to me. I'd like to see a dub comparison of FUNi's and Ocean...

Out of curiosity, what's innaccurate about the DB/DBZ wikis? I never noticed anything, but I must not have looked hard enough.

Hmmm...well if FUNi didn't want to bother with royalties, how come Bridge and Blue Water did? Weren't they just as small as FUNi at one point?

Yeah, true. I guess most of their target audience wouldn't dig the Japanese BGM too much.

Reasons For FUNi's Change of DBZ Dub BGM?

If I'm wrong, let me know, but basically, the Japanese BGM is in many ways synced with what happens. A lot of times, when they cut to a scene, the music would start or change right on cue. Since the US (most likely) edited the series more heavily than any other country, it would be hard for them to ...

She knew what she was getting into when she married him. Besides the fact that he agreed to marriage when he didn't even know what it was, then having found out, *still* did his "duty" and made good on the promise, I'd be inclined to disagree. I don't know many people that would do that. ...

^Really? I actually have yet to see that. I only got up to the episode where Kurinin died. Well, again, the ending of the Freeza arc wouldn't be the same as we know it today. When Goku opted to stay on Namek to ensure that Freeza was disabled/killed, we can pretty much assume that it was a self-sacr...

Yeah, GT's ending was better than Goku dying with Freeza or flying away with Uub with no explanation never to be seen again. Besides, I understand the hero of the universe dying in the end is a powerful idea, but the way the Dragon Ball series evolved from Goku being an innocent little boy with kick...

Second, I don't know how you can call the Freeza arc anticlimactic. It's clearly the climax of the entire series, and it actually wraps up all the storylines very neatly (if ended properly). The events from DBZ as early as the arrival of Raditz all build up to the legendary Saiya-jin and the final ...

Why would this NOT be legal? This is a project made simply for Skitz's own personal use. He owns both sets legally and isn't planning on distributing them for profit...

Just so everyone knows, I know this has been discussed many times. I just had to see if everyone agreed on that conclusion. But damn...it just seems too good to be a kids show.

Is Dragon Ball REALLY a Kid's Show?

I mean come on, guys...

Really?

Really, really, really?

REALLY?

...cuz I just can't bring myself to think that. It's just got too many non-kid things, unless the Japanese view of one is COMPLETELY separate from ours.

Toriyama was seriously planning to end it at the Freeza saga? Damn, that would only make DBZ 107 episodes. How would we find out what happened to Goku? The decision to lengthen the series was good in my opinion, but if they switched the Freeza and Majin Buu sagas, I wouldn't mind that, since Freeza ...

If "excuse me, Mr. Hot Pants" and "Don't piss off the god of love" make their way onto the set, I'll be a happy camper.

By the way, was there a difference in the dialogue for the two English versions on the Season One set? I thought they only changed the music.
