Character #98
Dodoria

Image

Like: He has a great banter with Vegeta before his defeat. He reveals how cruel Freeza can be.

Dislike: Pretty boring character design, kills Cargo in the anime and is very unintelligent.

It was strange. Last year a guy brought his PS2 into the common room and they brought in Sparking Neo and Sparking Meteor and suddenly it seemed like everyone was into DBZ. We played it during free time between classes and Meteor was the game of choice for everyone. It was weird after not hearing an...

I really like movie 3. I have nostalgic memories of being off school and watching it in Japanese for the first time. I like that other characters are in it. Tenshinhan, Yamucha, Kuririn and Chaozu all get there time on screen to do their signature moves. The ending where Goku kills Tullece with a Ge...

Tao Pai Pai

Like: He kills Blue... with his tongue.

Dislike: He is a dirty fighter.

I would love to see a DragonBall Wii Sports game or DragonBall Karting game. I would really like to see something different to a normal DBZ fighting game.

I would really like a look into the pasts of Tenshinhan, Kuririn and Yamucha. I remember the flashback scene where it shows a young Tenshinhan getting his ass handed to him by Tao Pai Pai during the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai and I really think they could add to this. Although, at this stage, I would en...

Re: Will there be a dragonball dragonbox?

I'm pretty sure we will see a DB dbox release why would they do it for DBZ and the movies but not GT or DB. Thats one reason why I'm not get the DB season sets If I were you, I would get the DB season sets now and sell them if the DB Dragon Box comes out. There is no guar a ntee it will come out an...

Re: Interesting notes from the Dragon Ball Wikia

Had I not known it was DragonBall, I would probably have been impressed with the action sequences (they are fairly original). However due to the dire acting and plot, I would dislike the movie just as much.

My favourites would be early Tenshinhan, Piccolo and Goku. For me, they really are interesting both as characters and also the designs of these characters.

See, I'm still not understanding this. Or what made Funimation's film masters much worse. Can't they copy film master to whatever and retain 100% the quality? I mean Toei still had to remaster theirs. So, what's the big deal? Funimation just used an automated process to remaster theirs. Which it di...

I thought it was a lot better than the Z dub in terms of accuracy and keeping the music. Unfortunately, I think they kept out a couple of insert songs and, to be honest, I'm not a big fan of the Funimation dub voice cast. If I was ever to watch a DragonBall dub it would be the Ocean dub. This is pur...

The only point at which Cell could have been defeated is while he is fighting Vegeta and, of course, Vegeta had to let him transform and absorb #18. Aside from any philosophical stand points, I think Vegeta is the most to blame. I think it is without a doubt the most idiotic move in the entire series.

I have to say Pilaf. Everything he does is always an absolute failure. The funniest Pilaf moments are when he interacted with Daimao. Hilarious.

The original DragonBall movies were just retellings. I'd rather have a completely new storyline. This is better than just having the canon story being told again with a few minor differences.

I don't understand why they would take TFS down. It is just a parody. If anything it serves as an advertisement for the show. The footage may belong to Toei, but this is not fair. It's not as if they are posting full episodes up there. Although on the plus side, I still have all the episodes and nea...

Some filler really adds to the story. Goku's training before the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai and, of course, the driving episode are really enjoyable. I don't watch all fillers because I know a lot of them are utter crap. However, when filler is done well it is on a par with the canon storyline.

I would watch a couple of episodes here and there, but at this stage I don't really care. The original version is the one I know and as I am stubborn I would watch that a LOT more than any redub.

It is a great shame that the in-between animators earn so little. This problem is made worse by the fact that the gap between the top and the bottom is gargantuan.
