Topic: The different animation styles in the DBZ series

I'd like to know the name of the other animator(s), besides Akira Toriyama, who worked on the series. And which of the two animation styles was Toriyama's? This statement implies that Toriyama did actual animation work on the series, which never happened. Hopefully, I'm reading that wrong, but that...

Wow, actual news on movie 2 and 3! I thought I'd never see the day. :P


Well, I like the idea of this box set better than when they released DB movies 2-4. At least this time around, you're only going to get one repeat at most.

yet they forget about real recent stuff (Buu, Gotenks, 'Mystic' Gohan, Gogeta, and Dying while Dead). Er... huh? Buu and Gogeta are plainly in the series, and Gotenks was very specifically mentioned. Mystic Gohan... ehn, we already know from the Buu saga that he slacks off in times of peace. Same t...

When Goku kills Super 17 he's in his base form, yet just befor he kills Super 17 , he was on the ground saying how he barely had any energy left. How could he have the power to defeat Super 17 in his weaked Base Kid form, when he wasn't strong enough to beat him in SSJ4 ? :roll: Then, later, when G...

You're assuming that everybody dislikes filler because there can't be any progress with the story. If written correctly, filler can be almost as entertaining as the main story. Theoretically it could be better than the main events. However, it's almost always written poorly, existing only to slow e...

To touch upon a few points made in this thread... logic seems to hold no ground (spinning fan blades? oh noes!) Meaning? This is Dragonball, where logic never holds any ground. Vejita, who had made amends with Goku, was put back into conflict with him just for lack of a better use. Does this refers ...

I dont think our kids (By "our kids" I mean our generation's children) will care for DBZ unless there was a newer version that didn't have such dated animation. 10, 20 years from now what will our kids think of a show thats 30 or 40 years old? Probley not much. Well, how do kids nowaday f...

Don't get me wrong, I can see why people would long for a "proper" dub of the series. The "what-if" questions that it brings up are certainly intriguing. I just don't see the need to dwell on the issue when it's plainly apparent that it won't happen at any point in the forseeable...

I'm surprised (well, maybe not) that there are those that actually thinks the manga version of "five minutes" is possible. Even if one accepts that the characters are so fast that the entire fight lasted only seconds(and we never see anything else to indicate that fights in this saga or la...

I'd also have to go with the whole "five minutes" thing. Even in the manga, it's impossibily streached out. Though(and I'm not sure a lot of people understand this) the point was most likely to make fun of the series' tendency to streach and pad things out in general.

A delay for over a year... Well, if it is for Dragonbox footage, that would be great and well worth the wait. If not... er well, I guess I'd still pick it up anyway. Really, all this talk of Dragonbox footage is all speculation and wishful thinking. I'd urge waiting until more information comes out ...

Trunks gives us the impression that he caught it off of someone I don't see where this is coming from. :? Where's the source of this implication?

How can someone make a cure if only one person has had the disease or virus and has already died? The makers of the cure would have had to test the cure on patients that have the virus in order to make sure it works. It's possible that they did make the cure just for the purpose of helping Goku whe...

Well, there's nothing saying that it wasn't from Yardrat. For all we know, Goku could have been the first one to have it and had it spread to everyone else. Of course, he never really goes anywhere aside from his house, Kame House, and the temple, but I guess viruses don't really need an excuse. Bu...

I've always thought that Goku contracted the virus during his stay on the planet Yadrat. It's an interesting idea, I'll give it that. But the problem is that there nothing to imply or suggest that the viris came from Yadrat or any other planets Goku may have traveled to. I firmly believe the viris ...

Erm... the same way someone can catch a cold. Really, there's nothing to suggest that there was something "special" going on with that virus. Goku just got unlucky in this case.

I would like to note that this question was somewhat answered in the podcast.

Hey wait, there's your filler-less Dragonball series right there! :idea: :P HAHAHA! So true! I've always liked that episode of GT though.
