For any of you toy collectors out there, you might already be familiar with Funko 's POP Vinyl figures. They are bobble-heads designed like urban vinyl figures: Very round-ish, big heads, and big beady eyes. Here's a typical looking one: http://www.entertainmentearth.com/images/AUTOIMAGES/FU2277lg.j...

Yeah, I found it randomly when looking for a checklist of this series. I think it's the only site on the net with scans of every card...

I recently picked up a hobby box of American DBZ Artbox Series 1 trading cards (1996) from eBay and ended up with a whole bunch of extra cards that I don't need, so I thought I'd see if anyone here would be interested in any of them! Here is the checklist/images of the cards in question ("Serie...

Viewing Update: So, I recently purchased the Season 1 set of DBZ Kai (the newer version with the Kikuchi score)! I mainly wanted to see how the editing held up in Kai (along with the Blu-ray visuals), as I've heard a mish-mash of good and bad things about it from various people. I figure the only w...

Okay, after some pondering, here's the list of my favorite DBZ (FUNimation-previously-defined) sagas : 1. Cell Games 2. Frieza 3. Majin Buu 4. Perfect Cell 5. Fusion 6. Vegeta 7. Imperfect Cell 8. Kid Buu 9. World Tournament 10. Trunks 11. Babidi 12. Captain Ginyu 13. Androids 14. Great Saiyaman 15....

Nice! :) Any plans for the manga? You should give it a read if you got the chance! Not to mention, you can always rewatch some of your DB stuff in Japanese. It'll give you a whole new perspective on the series! Yeah, I think I'd like to read the manga next. Thinking about either picking up the firs...

Viewing Update: I'M DONE! It took almost exactly one full year, but I have obtained and watched every DB/Z/GT episode, movie, and OVA. I feel...accomplished, yet sad that I'm out of DB things to watch. However, I'm happy that hopefully I'll get to see Battle of Gods at some point in the not-to-dist...

Viewing Update: Well, I'm now done with both the Baby saga and the Super 17 saga. As for the Baby saga, I actually liked it quite a bit! I thought Goku's tail-stretching was a great side-story, and I'm glad that Baby had an actual goal. Some villains' goal is just "destroy everything", wh...

Haha, that is AWESOME...I had no idea there were so many of them! If I were an MMA fighter, I would totally throw out a Kamehameha...

Ronda Rousey! :thumbup: She apparently has a "cartoon crush" on Vegeta, and used to record DBZ on VHS and watch episodes over and over again. One of Earth's real life greatest fighters who is in love with the Z Fighters...pretty cool! She talks about it in an interview here: http://youtu.b...

The Ozaru is a lie! (And yeah, I agree...I think they're just toying with us, ha...)

Viewing Update: I finished watching the BSDB saga the other day. I see why Funimation originally compressed it into a single intro episode for US TV airing. It starts out a bit slow up until about the Luud fight, but then I felt like it picked up a bit, especially once they get to M-2, leading into...

@geektacular That's because DBGT has better animation teams than DBZ had. When DBZ was animated, the best animators were pretty busy animating the movies two times a year so the animation quality tends to drop, while DBGT has most of the best animators animating the episodes which is why some of th...

They did used to have "saga" box sets (DVD singles in a pretty box). However, even still...a saga is essentially a story stretching over a long period of time, so there's only one saga: the entirety of Dragon Ball. They could've released then as "The Saiyan Arc, The Namek Arc, The Fr...

Yeah...I assumed that was more of an American thing in how Funimation chose to release them vs. the actual Japanese airing, just because they'd have to be doing it weekly to release THAT many episodes in that time span, ha. I think they should have just released them explicitly by saga and dropped t...

I will say that after finishing all of DBZ, my absolute favorite single DBZ moment was the Kamehameha battle in the final Cell/Gohan fight. When Goku is yelling at Gohan, and he just can't seem to make any ground, then Vegeta comes from out of nowhere with a distracting blast and Gohan gives it one ...

Aw... No debate? Hahaha. Just kidding. I get enough of that with my friend Dakota everytime we talk about anything related to Japanese cartoons. Anyways, as long as you like a version of Dragon Ball, then you're cool as far as I'm concerned. 8) Just don't be like this one guy I knew that would yell...

What makes you decide if an English dub (is good)? For me, it needs to be accurate. I honestly can't consider their "reversionings" as "Dragon Ball". I mean, if you change the dialogue the author wrote, then it's not really the same thing anymore (not that I'm saying animated ad...

Thanks for the in-depth answer, Bussani! I suppose spiritual power, with intent, does have a bit of a precedence in the DB universe to manifest physically, so I guess it can just be chalked up to that, as you described. And yeah, I guess it makes sense that the arm raising is more or less just "...

Just wondering, do you watch the dub or do you watch it subbed? I've been watching the English dub. I know that a lot of people prefer it subbed since it showcases the original voices and dialogue, etc., and I considered it. I sort of wanted the traditional North American experience, like people wh...
