Re: Is Super Goku REALLY all that dumb in comparison to Z Goku?

Goku not knowing what that people kiss on the lips was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. He had two kids and knew enough to appeal to Elder Kai's perverted tendencies. But we're supposed to believe he still doesn't know that people kiss each other on the lips and that Chi-Chi never kisse...

Re: Does anyone have a problem with how Fat Boo sounds in FUNi Dub?

I'm torn on Fat Boo's dub voice. Whenever he's supposed to be having a conversation, I think the voice sounds terrible and I can't take it seriously. But whenever Boo is supposed to be goofing off in the middle of battle, humming for example, I think it works well in showing how much fun he's having...

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

Personally I like most of Sumitomo's music. Some of the tracks sound a bit too Faulconer-esque for my taste. I don't remember which thread it was where some users speculated that Sumitomo's tracks were intentionally sounding Faulconer-esque to appeal to the western fanbase, but I can actually kind o...

Didn't Vegeta learn to sense ki all on his own? Seems he did it fairly quickly too.

Probably Goku and Chi-Chi never kissing on the lips according to Super despite living together for the better part of a decade and having two children.

Re: Reasons For Why Gohan Acted Like He Did In The Cell Game

The user Cipher made a great post breaking everything down: I don't think Gohan's characterizations in the Cell Games are nearly as out of whack as other people make them out to be. For one: Gohan is okay with fighting. We know this. He enjoys doing it with his dad and Piccolo, after a time. He volu...

Re: Is the Kenji Yamamoto score worth it?

I think Yamamoto's score is definitely worth it. It's part of what makes Kai, Kai for me. Without it, it feels a lot less fresh and a lot more like Dragon Ball Z (if that makes any sense).

Re: Brilliant (but subtle) writing in Dragonball

Future Trunks is normally quite pragmatic in killing his enemies, but takes time to fool around with Freeza and his army before finishing him off. Keep in mind that Trunks has spent nearly his entire life fighting to survive in a world besieged by two Androids he's completely powerless against. Fre...

Re: Majin Boo arc - Your opinion?

The arc definitely has its good points, and I guess it does manage humor better than the Cell arc, but I really don't like how Toriyama seems to be going for a 'having the new generation step up to defend the world' theme with Gohan, Goten and Trunks but then just throws it out the window so Goku ca...

Re: Z's Episode 120 Better than Kai?

How are we supposed to reply?

In the thread title you ask a question, but in the OP you say the Z dub of that episode is better than the Kai dub like it's a fact. Which, needles to say, is subjective. I personally far prefer the Kai dub, and Chris Ayres as Freeza.

Fair enough. How about Grade II Trunks against Grade I Vegeta? This time it's a little more even.

Re: The All-Purpose "Versus" Thread

Future Trunks (Super Saiyan Grade III) vs. Vegeta (Super Saiyan Grade II) I think that, since Gokuu believed that he couldn't defeat second-form Cell with SS Grade II (and the last he'd seen of Cell was his second form; he couldn't sense Perfect Cell, Vegeta or anyone else outside of the RoSaT), Tr...

Re: Do you like Dragon Ball Z Kai or the original Dragon Bal

Kind of a toss-up. Z had a special magic to it, the voice actors were phenomenal. But I really like Kai, and after having it be my first real exposure to the franchise, it just feels so hard to watch Z at times. The padding techniques really stand out after watching Kai. The constant pans, focus on ...

Re: Dragon Ball Kai Limited Edition Complete Collection-Madm

Isn't it a little early for a complete series collection? The season sets aren't even done yet. Granted, I guess no one would buy this after already getting the seasons sets. And the parts don't stay on shelves long from what I've seen, so maybe this isn't such a bad decision after all. I'll skip it...

Bought part 8 of Kai. I was considering waiting for the inevitable "Season 4" but my impatience got the best of me. That and that I find the season sets annoyingly less ornate than the individual parts. That and I had a Best Buy coupon for $20 so the DVD only cost $3 :3 I'll probably buy p...

Re: English-friendly Yamamoto episodes beyond 52?

Extra odd because 53-63 were the first Englis...

Yes, and they're not Jinzoningen, either: they're Kaizoningen. That was my point. Viz's translation is accurate here and it's Gero/Toriyama who were using the terms oddly. Androids/Articifical Humans might be an odd term, but I'd rather that than cyborgs. The fully robotic 16 and 19 could still kin...

Re: Kuririn & Tenshinhan's PIS in the Cell arc

Kuririn would've killed Vegeta if not for Goku's interference, so it's not as if he's adverse to killing villains. He doesn't really strike me as any less moral than the others. There's also Tenshinhan, who seemed pretty damned determined to kill Nappa to avenge his lover's death. Besides, a sharp w...
