Re: Shunsuke Kikuchi has passed away

RIP.

He had some great scores. I love his fight theme, and the "Genki-dama" theme. Also, that music when Goku does his "I am SSJ Goku!" speech. Amazing.

Thanks for helping make DBZ that much better.

Re: English version with cool music???

I gotta say, AND keep in mind I say this as a Kikuchi fan...Let people watch Dragon Ball the way they want to watch it. You wouldnt like it if someone forced you to watch the version they prefer. Nor you would like that pushy person at all. Well I mean this is a discussion board..... if we'd all ag...

Re: English version with cool music???

...Are you criticizing the Japanese score for having general fighting music that's not tied to any one character or moment? Because we can play that game with the Faulconer score or hell, basically any long running TV series in any genre. The Faulconer score, especially during the Frieza saga is he...

Imagine watching star wars with a different ost. Same thing here. Kikuchi is dbz . As john williams is star wars. No debate. You dont even understand db if u think that. Disagree. DBZ music is Hong Kong 70s-type music, while DBZ is Sci-Fi. It fits DB which is martial arts based, but not DBZ. Star W...

Re: Does it feel odd for anyone else to see Goku and co. using cell phones?

heh I was thinking something similar while watching Falcon and the Winter Soldier. In the show (no spoilers), they use Windows laptops/iPhones alongside all this advanced technology. I just thought it was funny to see 2020 technology alongside all this future technology. It reminded me of Dragon Bal...

Re: How would you remake and rewrite the Majin Buu Saga?

I don't understand this TV special argument. It has nothing to do with the arc's quality, because it's OUTSIDE the arc, it happens 40 years before or 20 years after. If anything, it makes the arc look unfinished because it requires an outside source to help finish it up and tie its loose ends. But ...

The fact you keep bringing up only his magic candy abilities shows that he did not. It also shows that a magic based ...

Re: How would you remake and rewrite the Majin Buu Saga?

Most fans agree he's a genie, Toriyama himself has said he's based on a genie. You're the only fan I've seen who outright argues that he's not. EXACTLY what I am saying. He should've went full bore in making him a genie. Not hold back. It's a cool and unique idea that would work in DBZ. And looking...

Re: How would you remake and rewrite the Majin Buu Saga?

Majin Buu was just a "been there, done that" bad guy, and I do think that was a problem, and I think the audience saw right through it. I like the idea of Buu, just not the execution. He could've been something cool and unique. As mentioned earlier, each saga was a GREAT escalation from t...

That's the problem. He's just another "Omg he's so strong we must upgrade to beat him!" again. And Cell wasn't that why? Amalgamated bio warrior=Good escalation; but evil genie with borderline reality warping abilities="Just another super strong dude"? Your logic doesn't make se...

Re: How would you remake and rewrite the Majin Buu Saga?

The Boo saga has a lot of problems, but this isn't one of them in my view. I disagree that the series was about escalating the whole time. It happened from time to time, but not deliberately. Toriyama wasn't trying to top anything, he was just trying to come up with different ideas each time. If th...

Re: How would you remake and rewrite the Majin Buu Saga?

The problem with the Buu saga is escalation. The Pilaf Saga, it was a simple doofy bad guy. Then it escalated to an entire army for the RR Army Saga. How do you top the strongest army in the world? Go outside the world and bring a Demon King into it. But after that, you have to look past the world ...

Re: Why Toriyama thought Gohan wouldn't make a good main character

the thing that makes Goku a good main hero is that when he is involved, you know everything is going to be alright. You need to be CREDIBLE as a hero. Gohan is not credible, Goku is. Like Gohan says, when he saw Goku walking towards Freeza, they had hope. Hell, the entire Android/Cell saga is about ...

Re: What do you prefer? The more battle orientated style of Z or the adventuristic aspect of DB?

One of the reasons DBGT intrigued me so much was due to the concept: travelling the galaxy for the Dragon Balls. I thought they were going to combine the adventure elements of DB with the action elements of DBZ. It ended up being a disaster (so much so Funimation just outright skipped a lot of it) o...
