Kanzenshuu

Based on what little I've searched on amazon, if I had $200 thrown at me then I'd start buying the manga versions that are the most complete and from the same set. I'd support the rest with my own money to complete all the volumes. I'd get them primarily for my sister, since she's more into reading ...

My sister and I were watching clips of bad dub lines a couple days ago. We had never watched the show together like that in over 10 years, so it was a rich experience going from clip to clip hearing bad voice acting and lines. In fact, hearing the voices for Kuririn and the like makes me amazed when...

The Kaioken struggle against Vegeta. That was awesome, and certainly a highlight in that fight. Watching Goku continually pushing himself to beat the toughest villain yet, and by a wide margin. Vegeta obviously had way more life in him that allowed him to tank the hell out of that battle. Nonetheles...

Probably Majin Boo's, Kibito's, or Piccolo's materialization powers. Those would be awesome for every day purposes. Mark up Majin Boo and Kibito's teleportation-to-anywhere technique and that's another useful thing I'd forfeit any destructive beam technique for. The lifespan issue with Kibito / Kaio...

Recognizable characters, the over the top fighting, the drawing style - it all comes together to create a vivid experience. It's a kids show, yes, but it crosses boundaries like no other kids show I've seen. I watched heaps of cartoons and action cartoons were among them, but none of them hit on the...

Considering he was put aside from the battle against Pure Boo, I doubt he would be anywhere close to Super Saiyan 2 Vegeta. Wasn't the main reason for that just for his own safety? Even SS2 Vegeta was getting mauled in that fight. It'd be much risky for Kaioshin to be involved in the battle based o...

Then that means, Roshi has memory problems and said 5 years later instead of 3.

I caught that, too.

I use either SS or SSJ. I say it the same way. Numbers are typically included, or if I'm really lazy I just go SS and hope the person I'm communicating to assumes what scene I'm talking about.

I also pronounce it "Super Say-yan". Thank the dub for hammering that into me since 2000.

Something about Heaven in the DB universe seems boring as hell. I'd assume anything you want is at your call, but we have no way to know (the filler with Dabura itself doesn't seem very cool). Doubt I'd get in, though, as I've led a pretty boring life thus far. Honest living, but boring. I'd hope I'...

I just take it as a complete gag scene. Same way Trunks "taps" Satan on the face and send his skull into the other side of his face and across the arena.

In the manga, it seemed as if Butta and Jheese only ever worked together because they were the two that lost out on the Roshambo, so they had to stand in the background, and later when Recoom was done in, they were the only two to attack Gokuu. I don't think "Purple Comet Crash" is improv...

Butta is the fastest in the universe. He actually isn't. Typing that makes it look like a legit technique unique to him. I think Jeice and Butta are the pair that worked together moreso than having anything special about them individually. Something like that builds more cohesiveness to the group t...

Wait, how are these bad? That's his name in the original. Ten or Tenshinhan. You guys mean "Tien or "Tienshinhan"?

I was thinking about this when watching the Return of Cooler fight with Goku and Vegeta. As much as Vegeta hates Goku and Goku dislikes Vegeta's attitude, there's a dude thing going on between them. A good cop / bad cop duo that makes the ordeals that much more interesting. Considering Vegeta's huge...

Hmm, no. I come from a Pakistani family so I've had asian food all my life. Now if we're talking east asian food then... no. You eat asian food all your life starting at a young age and you associate other asian foods in the pile. Japanese food in Seattle is not uncommon. So good.

"twangs" like the stuff heard in this song

I also forgot to add the slide whistles.

Right, twangs like this and slide whistles like in this.

2010 or 2011. Obviously I remember my 1998/1999-2002/2003 years as dub nostalgia, but I remembered how infuriating those years were to not find anything. I remember drawing my own DBZ inspired fights with friends and all that, and how I went to Pakistan and did the same thing to pass the time. Howev...

I feel that 107 is the real finale of the arc. It has a stronger closing than the previous episode.

When it comes to the movies, I don't even consider them the same universe (not "in-universe", either, but as if they're just "what-if" scenarios). The Bardock and Trunks TV specials though I do consider canon, and whatever occurs in those specials that may create plot holes I mos...

There's no day that'll guarantee me no interruptions for 24 hours, so it'll be really hard time-wise. Even worse is the fact that Z Freeza saga is unbearably long for what it is. Even Kai Japanese would be a hell-haul. Maybe one day I'll pass by the dub again for nostalgia purposes - just to get a l...
