Re: unpopular opinion: kenji yammoto should have never got fired

Related unpopular take: Yamamoto improved a lot of the stuff he swiped, especially that Avatar track that supposedly got him caught. It's really made me reconsider how much copyright law as it exists even makes any sense. Hell knows the human race got along fine without it for a long, long time.

Re: When exactly did the Ocean cast return to Dragon Ball Z?

Comparing the Dutch airdates to the UK ones, it's interesting that the UK chose to just delay airing any Westwood episodes at all, leaving the show stuck in the middle of the Trunks stuff. This is pure speculation on my part, but I think it's possible that Cartoon Network NL wanted to put their brea...

Re: The History of Dragon Ball in Every Country

I can confirm that DBZ started airing on August 28, 2000 in the Netherlands as this is when it first appears in newspaper TV listings. The series premiered with two episodes, and then subsequently would air the previous day's second episode along with a new one each subsequent day, every weekday. Th...

Re: Are these four main women in Dragon Ball really "just house wives"?

Spoiler: Companies are not people. They don't have opinions. Any time they publicly declare they're in support or opposition to something, it's a pr stunt to make customers associate them with an opinion they think is good. That's why some companies will immediately dress up in rainbows during the ...

Super Saiya Densetsu remake project

I've always been a big fan of Super Saiya Densetsu; the card battle system is cool, and I like the way you can go off the story rails and do things like keep most of the cast alive through the Saiyan fights. That said, it does have its downsides; the game is a huge grindfest, the music inevitably ge...

Cool video! I was never very good at this game, so it's cool to see a playthrough by someone who actually knows what they're doing. :D

Re: I saw a fan image of a creepy version of the earth shenlong and don’t know where it came from.

This is kind of a long shot, but could you be thinking of Seiryuu from Fushigi Yuugi as seen in this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwB2DlMHEsY&t=18m (18 minutes in if the timestamp doesn't work) I vaguely recall someone using a screenshot of this as part of a Dragon Ball AF prank a long...

Re: Any FUNi dubisms you still find yourself saying from time to time?

Honestly, I still use a lot of dubisms just because outside of this website, most people aren't going to know what the heck I'm talking about otherwise. That said, I've never used FUNimation's pronunciation of "Bulma" because... well, I don't know honestly--I think when I was a kid, my bra...

Re: Yamamoto is Back

I'm surprised he didn't start a new name. Well, nice to see him working again. Assuming JASRAC works the same way as similar agencies in other countries, the compositions would be listed here under his legal name no matter what. He could use a different name on the credits of an actual release, tho...

Re: Super Saiya Densetsu appreciation thread

I've always had a soft spot for this game. I liked the card battle system and the exploration elements. It's really cool that you can go off the "proper" path by keeping characters alive or going out of your way to do weird things. It gets kind of tedious at times because of the encounter ...

Re: Torishima "Son Goku and Blooma should fall in love"

I wonder if Toriyama's reluctance to do this pairing is why he decided to age down Goku from 14 to 12.

Re: Let's Play DBZ Legend of the Super Saiyan (SNES RPG): How to beat it quickly and easily!

Love seeing... well, love for this game. I always really liked how it had some crazy non-canon stuff like the mimic Saibaimen, being able to take everyone to Namek and making Piccolo fuse with a bunch of different Namekians. Plus, the card battle system was kinda cool. I just wish the encounter rate...

Re: SNES fighting games: content overview

I had absolutely no idea about those unused portraits in SB1. It kind of blows my mind that stuff like this was hidden all along, and somewhat in plain sight considering the debug mode code has been on TCRF for quite a while! It's also interesting that there doesn't seem to be any other trace of the...

Re: Track By Track, the Complete Song Collection Box

This is a pretty cool thread idea.

Actually, what is the deal with a lot of these songs? You've got ...

Re: What's that BGM in the Japanese version? Read the OP!

So while making a collection of various short bits of DB music like eyecatches and title cards, I noticed that the DB title card cue listed on the site is incorrect. d2:14(a) actually seems to be a variant on the eyecatch music with a long gong sound at the end, which I'm not sure is actually used i...

Re: Toei doesn't do the series justice at all.

I'm not 100% convinced the home release for Super will fix all the problems. I mean, Sailor Moon Crystal still had plenty of problems and sometimes the home release even made things worse, like switching Usagi and Minako's hairstyles.

Full disclosure--I am transgender and bisexual. I personally don't think Dragon Ball would stand to gain anything from any new additions to characters' romantic or sexual orientation.
