Re: Anyone on the hunt for a Madman 'Saga of Goku' set?

I have that set. What is so special about it? Just The Japanese title cards? Funimation did not have the right to distribute those episodes in the US until they released the blue bricks. At that time, the only way to have the "complete" series was to buy the edited Ocean-dubbed version of...

Re: Super Hero is proof it's time for a live-action DB movie franchise

I certainly agree Dragon Ball is fertile ground for a live action adaptation. So many of the marvel and dc films have showcased they have the tools in the toolbox. And then things like The Matrix and Kill Bill already fill the "Live action dragon ball" hole for me personally. And I agree S...

Re: Anyone on the hunt for a Madman 'Saga of Goku' set?

Probably worth it! If it makes you feel any better I think I spent like $70 for "King Piccolo Saga Part 1" new and sealed by itself a few years ago. I think these sets not only look great on the shelf but they've got that specificity of being the exact versions of the episodes I watched on...

Re: Anyone on the hunt for a Madman 'Saga of Goku' set?

I finally got it! Been checking eBay periodically for years and last Saturday I finally found the set used on eBay in great condition for the low price of $27. Of course triple that to ship it from Australia to Texas, but I'm very excited. Been wanting to complete my shelf with this for years. I kno...

Re: What do you look foward to the most from the Buu Arc of

I'm looking forward to hearing the new English Dub. Kyle Hebert is one of my favorite Voice Actors and it will be interesting to see his new performance as Gohan now that he has more experience.

Re: Does anybody actually think that DBZ got better post-Nam

I in-fact do think that the Dragon Ball Z manga and anime series get better after the character leave the planet Namek and return to Earth. The Trunks plot twist adds a lot to the mythology in my opinion. I enjoyed the transition from alien sci-fi to time travel and robot sci-fi.

Hey Desire, I remember when you went on the podcast about this, you mentioned that a few folks were trying to send Toyble a note of appreciation from the english speaking fans. Did that ever get sent his way? Still really enjoy this manga, agree that its still the best bit of fan fiction out there. ...

Re: Techincally Kai is completely pointless.

It's a shame, I am so behind the concept of Kai as a filler-free adaptation with enhanced and re-animated sequences. However, I was underwhelmed by the re-animation and thought the editing wasn't all that effective. Since I haven't purchased it yet, I'd rather just invest in the Z blu-ray sets. I wi...

Re: Elder Kai, the hermaphrodite!

I was thinking about the Elder Kai/witch fusion just a few hours ago! I agree that he is male since he became the dominant half of the fused body. It did make me think about Gohan, though. When he received his "mystic" power up/transformation, did some of those abilities come from the magi...

Re: Underrated English Voice Actors

I think Kyle Hebert is the most talented and was underrated as the older Gohan, especially when those episodes were first aired. I also think the entire English FUNimation cast of the main cast are underrated. From a production standpoint, I personally think Nadolny should have been kept as young Go...

Re: Toyble DBAF [Sept 25, 2010] pg 175-191

It's a widespread and pretty much baseless rumor. I think the Funi dub of GT contributed to it at least a bit by having Vegeta say that he was unable to transform into a Super Saiyan 4 when possessed by Baby because at the time he "wasn't a pure-blooded Saiyan" or something like that. The...

Re: Toyble DBAF [Sept 25, 2010] pg 175-191

I guess I'm just surprised by how much it's NOT bothering me that Goku is returning as the main protagonist. This just feels like such a natural continuation of GT but it's better and is returning to some of what was good about the first two series'. I love Uub (his fight with Bebi was one of my fav...

Hey everyone, hope you're doing well! I agree with a lot of what you said Piccolo Daimao. I love the movies, I've watched them quite a few times back to back. I like that there is a lot of work and focus put into each one, especially in voice over and animation. I also like that they are not in the ...

Re: DB Movie One Comes Back To DVD, Says Otaku USA, Rightstuf

Don't be surprised though if they re-dub movies 2 and 3 as well, sell them all as singles and then release the four dragon ball movies as double features. Knowing funimation they will do that and still sell those movies once again as apart of the dragon box. Personally I will probably get the singl...
