Re: Official "Show off your Dragonball Crap" Thread

Kind of an interesting thing I often forget about it, I've had this booklet since I was a kid. Came from a Pojo Collector Card World magazine, for those who remember those. I used to love those magazines. This booklet briefly covers DB/DBZ for a western audience, mentioning films (namely fusion reb...

Re: Who saw the Japanese version as a kid?

People in this thread have reminded me that I also had all three Dragon Ball PlayStation games as a thirteen-year-old (super cool kid right here), so that was another bit of exposure to the Japanese voices. I didn't really think anything of it. Besides having a SNES well past 1996, we were a PC hou...

Re: Why don't you like the Japanese version?

Um... you are kind of shoving it in his face. You're letting others dictate how much you enjoy something? If you're ingesting a medium of entertainment and can't stand to continue because you're thinking of how other people like it so much that they're "shoving it in your face," you're no...

Re: Who saw the Japanese Verison as a kid?

Wow that is a very interesting story. You must be close to my age since I was born in May 4th, 1991 and you must be the very few people who saw DBZ on syndication as kid back in the mid-late 90's given it seems like most people who saw it on syndication at the time was teens and adults. When I saw ...

Re: Who saw the Japanese Verison as a kid?

Reading through your responses, it's clear to me that I am no longer of the "young" or "modern" audience of Dragon Ball. ...I'm 25, so maybe that goes without saying, but it's still a shock considering how I remember the fandom during the early 2000s so vividly. Just gonna put it...

Re: Am I the only one who wants Grandpa Gohan to appear again?

I agree that his sendoff was great, but I also wouldn't be opposed to seeing him again, depending on how they do it. I always thought it was a missed opportunity not to show him watching Goku during the afterlife tournament filler arc. Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. In hindsight, Toei was see...

Home Release Guide's Future

jamiljamtheman started a thread on the different versions of the DBZ Movies released in North America and after reading his question and seeing the responses, I wanted to go look something up. I was sort of bummed out when I went to go fact check when the 1999 FUNi dub VHS tapes first dropped, as I ...

My Jump Festa 2017 exclusive desk calendar just came in. It's gorgeous. In addition to the cover card shown in the first image, there is one card for every month. Aside from the gorgeous Toriyama art (and one Toyotaro piece in November, not pictured), every card has little fun trivia bits on the bac...

Re: Viz's Print Edition of the "Full Colour Comics" Discussion

Makes sense. It looks like it's cropped around a centimeter below the others (or my Volume 2 is actually above, will have to compare at home with Saiyan Arc 1 and 3). It doesn't affect the art inside thankfully. That would drive me absolutely insane . I go nuts over shelf consistency and having som...

I had never even considered hardcover... that would be swell. I could imagine the Kanzenban or Full Color releases looking gorgeous.

Re: Things that grind your gears
