Blu-ray. 4:3 aspect ratio Audio: Japanese (broadcast audio) Latin American Spanish dub, English dub. Z release includes Remastered English dub with Kikuchi score and Original Uncut English dub audio with Johnson/Faulconer score All the correct opening and endings (I think only Original Dragon Ball ...

Really, just a color corrected HD Dragon Box with all the uncut English dubs and an English redub of the Ginyu-Cell Games portion of Z. All of the Japanese AND English TV/Promo material.

This is all super fascinating stuff, but as always, I wonder if the real story is somewhere in the middle, or at least muddled a little bit. We've been repeatedly told that Dr. Slump 's popularity started taking off wildly once things like tournaments and longer story arcs were introduced... which ...

Goku used to kill anyone, that is until he met Android 8. Android 8 taught Goku that killing isn't the right way to solve a problem. Then once Goku trained with Mr Popo and Kami, he stopped killing villains. However Goku told Future Trunks that sometimes some villains needs to die. Goku isn't 100% ...

Goku's thing has always been, "Well if shit goes wrong, I'll just beat them up again." Most of Goku's recklessness isn't from apathy of the consequences, he's just sure he can handle those consequences, and that's been consistent since early DB. And again, why do people always leave out th...

This special is painfully dumb. Somehow it's even WORSE than the DBM classic "everyone dies!" specials, in this we're watching some truly egregious character assassination to try to explain something that only gets worse the more you try to explain it. The future timeline doesn't need mor...

Popped that man's head like a weed

SOme of these spam posts that have come up for dating sites I'd ordinarily write off as bots but they look to be coming from legitimate accounts with decent posting history. Are some inactive accounts getting hacked?

I think it's just the cost of escalation and the most iconic (and more importantly, marketable), series-defining moments and characters coming in much later. You can't even blame it on Funimation presenting the series out of order because even Japan puts Z front and center and treats the Kid Goku ye...

I think the perception that media is more political has more to do with a lot of shows and movies these days being much more heavy handed and performative with the political overtones than in year's past, because modern writers - or maybe not even writers, just the executives that have an increasing...

Minor pedantic correction. The Funimation release does have the second ending. They don't have the first ending The two endings are nearly identical but the second ending is updated to include Kuririn and Lunch and omits some scenes in its place like a cross dressing scene between Bulma and the boy...

Also, here's the Toonami bumper tribute: https://youtu.be/EgUDezBUq88?si=gEl7NYhV_Vf2J1R9 I was kinda hoping they'd do more, like have TOM say a few words, but I guess it was so short notice they couldn't do much else in time. Is it just me or did Stan Lee not even get this big of a reaction after ...

Fucking hell, man. My father passed away a little over a month ago and this almost hit me just as hard. Rest In Peace, your work changed more lives than you can count

Why would FUNimation get film masters back in the 90s? They barely had any money & were just getting started. I don't understand why they'd get film stock at the start. It makes more sense to me that Toei just sent either digi beta tapes, or VHS tapes of the show for them to dub over, then FUNi...

If the specials never existed the story would've been finished years ago probably lol

The specials are time fillers in between the Gogeta Jr/Asura taking breaks. If he didn't do the specials we'd have nothing for months

After Toriyama came up with Cell, Kondo wasn't keen on the design and said he should have a transformation. And then he hated Semi-Perfect Cell's design and wanted something better for his Perfect form. He also pushed Toriyama to keep escalating the scale of the fights. I think he and Toriyama also ...

Not necessarily saying it's a fault... But an oddity unless there's some logical explanation to it. I just drew attention to it because the realization coming after Vegeta not sensing any killing intention yet mentioning later on such is specific for SSJs comes off, apparently, as contradictory... ...

good post To add to this, a key part of this arc and something that greatly differentiates it from the Buu arc is that while a lot of the story developments are triggered by characters making horrible decisions, all of the bad decisions in this arc are driven by established flaws and quirks in ever...

Some character don't serve much purpose to the narrative other than window dressing and that's okay!

Nobody Goku fought in original Dragon Ball was as strong as Vegeta. In his own words all that training he did in the afterlife and he still couldn't compare. Why would Goku keep Tao or Daimao or Piccolo Daimao's children alive when he became much stronger than that? Piccolo Jr already set a precede...
