(While I don't write his name that way myself, I do like to spell out "Hatchan"~) I'm guilty of that, but mostly because it's subbed like that, also...I don't know the dub equivalent (I hate the DB dub) do they just refer to him as "Android 8" or #8?. If I wasn't so lazy I'd bre...

I think writing "Juunanagou" instead of #17 is a little excessive, to me thats just as bad as writing "Torunkasu" and "Seru".

My friends hate anime and they hate subtitles, not to mention manga and comics. Sure I copped a little flak over the years for my love of animation, but I realized long ago that I'll always love it, so theres no point being self-conscious about it. Besides, the people that were criticizing me, watch...

So long as you only play 1.23 (The open beta is terrible), and download the wealth of user content to stop the game looking like total ass.

I used to play on an Australian server up until 6 months ago or so.

The scream made the scene that much more epic. Get goosebumps every time. Heh, I wonder who really did the scream...it was never confirmed anywhere, right? I personally hate it, I think it sounds like a bark... But whatever. Agreed, I would have much preferred a regular lung destroying scream by Mr...

Ditto. It was a fun movie, and not something I'd particularly expect to hear Toriyama cite as one of his favorite movies alongside a big classic like Alien. "Never give up, and never surrender!" :) All my friends hate that movie, and I really enjoyed it, I am now totally justified in my l...

I mean even in NA and Australia, I assume that since we're talking about Funimation, don't like their dub. You would be surprised. I live in Australia, and 90% of all the fans I've met here are dubbies. (although I was able to show my sister the light when it came to DB, she still loves Chris Sabat...

I hated the story, and the story mode so much that I just downloaded a completed save (100% unlocked etc)

1999 Thats when the dub came to free to air Australian tv, I got hooked around the Namek saga and never looked back. I got into the japanese version when I switched over the audio track on one of my Buu saga dvds, (I loved the acting and the music) then after I got the UUE's I just couldn't go back ...

How's GT too expensive? Getting the "Lost Episode" volumes and the rest of the series' box-sets costs less over-all than the GT Dragonbox did. I don't really see how it costs a great deal, not much more than an even $200. That's counting the first LE volume w/t box-set and Goku Jr. specia...

Good point, maybe after a certain amount of damage the Genki Dama could dissipate, regardless of weather you're in base or SSJ?

I don't collect figures.

But I would love to own that Bulma figure, the majority of figures I see just don't represent the characters accurately enough for me.

All would be forgiven if they kept up with the UUE's, so I'm a little bitter about the widescreen (after dropping 100 bucks or so for the first UUE set), but there's nothing I can do about it. They did do a good job with Dragonball (at least in Australia) and GT (apart from the fact GT was too expen...

What comes to my mind when seeing the genkidama is, that in BT2, the collected energy vanished when you transformed to SSJ or something. I always thought this was kind of weird :? That always annoyed me, even if you revert back to base form, it's still gone. Though I can understand it as being a li...

I find that funny, and sort of agree although I know (well I hope) that isn't the actual intent of some people.

As I said before, standing up for ourselves as fans won't do shit, the nine year olds have spoken.

I think the sets are pretty crappy. There is no denying that, it's a flawed product, but I'm buying them because I have to, it's not the old days, FUNimation aren't going to listen to hardcore fans and videophiles, they can sell these things just fine with outright lies and misleading advertisements...

Re: Piccolo's age?

I've never really thought about it before, but what is his (assuming he is a he) age? Now that I think about it, it seems logical to think he is 4 years older than Gohan: He is born Three years later is the budokai One year later Gohan is born Four years later DBZ starts. As someone who saw Z long ...
