Re: Do you consider the Boo saga better than Super in general terms?

Boo saga stomps anything DBS has done besides a better villain which is Black, not to mention the interactions and personalities of certain characters such as Goku and Vegeta's, the OST's and fights were very memorable in comparison with my experience with Super which only had a few stand out and t...

Re: Super: Yay or Nay?

Sure, I get it. Production-wise it was a nice episode (which was, of course, emphasized by how bad some of the previous ones had been). But ultimately it was the exact same thing we have seen a gazillion times before in this very same show : it was a perfect example of a run-of-the-mill, going-thoru...

Re: Super: Yay or Nay?

I think nothing better epitomizes what Kunzait_83 is saying than what happened, a while ago, in one of the episode discussion posts in the Super board. It was one of the final episodes of the Champa arc. Every once in a while, after watching an episode, I take a look at its dedicated post, simply to...

Re: Dragon Ball Super to Simulcast on Crunchyroll, Daisuki, AnimeLab

I see Vegard Aune is reporting a similar problem so... is anyone from Europe actually able to watch the show on Daisuki? Since they just uploaded the first 10 episodes I decided to give it a try, but they simply refuse to load. Not just Super; everything I've tried on that site doesn't work. The pla...

Re: Dragon Ball Z Kai on BD from Kazé [updated 21th november

Quick question for those who own these Blu-ray sets: I've seen some reports claiming that, for some reason, they are encoded as 1080/50hz instead of 1080/60hz. Do you know if this is true?

Re: Why do people hold Ultimate Gohan or Gotenks so highly?

There you go! You're starting to see where I'm coming from. Thanks for considering that stance, at least. But I was merely saying what I've been saying all along. Both Fat Buu and Super Buu have the two Kaioshins inside (and, as explicitly stated by Kibitoshin, the result is a weaker Buu, because o...

Re: Why do people hold Ultimate Gohan or Gotenks so highly?

There is also the issue that Goku felt that neither him nor Vegeta could fight against Evil(Super) Boo and that after Boo reverts from Buff Boo both Goku and Vegeta think he is more manageable. The only half-reasonable explanation for the former is that Goku was referring to their size (and that ha...

Re: Why do people hold Ultimate Gohan or Gotenks so highly?

Fat Buu was the result of Buff Buu absorbing Dai Kaioshin, who suppressed him indeed. And how is that any different to what I said? Pure Buu became Buff Buu after absorbing one Kaioshin and then he became Fat Buu after absorbing the other one. The result is the same: Fat Buu is the result of Pure B...

Re: Why do people hold Ultimate Gohan or Gotenks so highly?

My personal take on what Kibitoshin's explanation is supposed to mean: when he's talking about Buu losing strength and becoming more gentle after absorbing the two Kaioshins, I think he's obviously referring to Fat Buu. Fat Buu is clearly supposed to be the result of Pure Buu + Both Kaioshins (if no...

Re: MangaUK Licenses Dragon Ball Z Kai for DVD & Blu-ray

This is beyond ridiculous. A release of Kai with the Yamamoto score... in 2015? Not only that, but apparently it's half Yamamoto and half Kikuchi. Unbelievable. Whose fault is this, anyway? Although this is a MangaUK release, the reviews say these are Funimation-authored discs, so I'm not sure who m...

Re: Why do people hold Ultimate Gohan or Gotenks so highly?

So, I suppose saying things like Goku was lying when he said he can't beat Evil Boo isn't "grasping at straws" ? Or Goku was only referring to his Super Saiyan 2 when he said he can't beat Evil Boo ? I'm not grasping at anything: I said both options make no sense, didn't I? What I think i...

Re: Why do people hold Ultimate Gohan or Gotenks so highly?

This discussion is impossible to settle, no matter how many pages are written about it, because of one simple reason: the evidence supports both positions, and neither one makes complete sense. Goku's statement about not being able to defeat Super Buu on his own puts him unequivocally below Gohan's ...

Out of curiosity: throughout these last episodes, have they kept any of the anime-only lines about Pure Buu being "the strongest Buu"?

Re: Kai Japanese Track

Why bother with a vastly inferior version of the show when you have the original easily available. It's not particularly hard to skip through arduous moments of filler - especially when you've seen it all before. But they're not arduous "moments" of filler: as I said, they are more than 4...

Re: Kai Japanese Track

Quite frankly, I've never quite understood the whole "Japanese Kai is pointless. Unless you're interested in the English dub, you should skip Kai altogether". I've never understood it because the removal of 40 hours worth of filler doesn't seem trivial to me (and Z's atrocious narrative pa...

Partial dubtitles, huh? That's peculiar.

It's a weird case: you can find a whole section which is translated perfect...
