It's pretty clearly not the "if anyone beats him it's gonna be me!" sentiment by that point. I'm not sure how I'd describe it purely in terms of physical examples from the cannon, but there's... just so much damn change that happens before he runs into Son again, and even after he does. L...

Some people just still hold grudges. Though it's mainly toward the DB franchise. Quite a few guys I know say they prefer the YYH dub over the Japanese version. I liked the YYH dub, although Kuwabara can get annoying. I just can't see why people literally hate Funimation for changing the show to app...

The music is horrible, too. I mean, they blast this techno beat, the same set of like four or five "songs" constantly. Not only do they replace the DBZ music, they replace SILENCE with it. They actually have a huge volume of songs. It was Ocean that only seemed to have 4 or 5. Though I li...

Re: Why so much FUNimation hate?

Also, why do people prefer the Japanese version. Other than the fact that I don't speak Japanese, I don't like Goku being voiced by an actor with a feminine voice. 1) I speak Japanese. 2) I like Goku's voice. I like almost everyone else's voices as well. 3) I like the music. 4) I like the script an...

That was really good, the Ginyu theme is one my all time favorites because it kind of has a "Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" feel to it with the whistling. If you did the SS3 powerup that would be really awesome too!

Truthfully, as much as I would love a new Toriyama-directed, 2-D animated series or movie or tv special, I'm equally content to let dbz slide off into the "land of Classic Anime/Manga Series". (You know, where the older Gundam series, Sailor Moon, Ranma½, and Lupin the 3rd all hang out.) ...

The script is ridiculously inaccurate, names and terminology are changed, the original music is replaced (unless you purchase those faulty season sets) and the voices and acting are terrible in my opinion. It's just a matter of preference, the English dub and original Japanese adaption are almost l...

I don't really feel old. You all just look young ^^ This series means more to me than I can begin to express, so it's wonderful to find new blood coming into the fandom. Horray for new people! I've been watching the show for about a decade now, ever since about 1st grade, so I wouldn't consider mys...

There's something for the argument about Pic that I'm surprised no one has brought up yet, a scene just a few minutes before that one. When the genki dama goes off, everyone gets blown away. Krillian and Gohan get out of the mess of their own, but Son doesn't- Pic pulls him from the water without a...

Why Watch In English/Japanese...?

Other than the Freeza Saga, I thought Funimation did a pretty good job. Also, why do people prefer the Japanese version. Other than the fact that I don't speak Japanese, I don't like Goku being voiced by an actor with a feminine voice.

I'd like to get something that actually looks like the anime, really like the anime. Not just the characters, but the levels, the attacks, the aura effects.

#17 isn't important enough to the story after the Cell Saga. I see what you mean with the comic relief aspect, but doesn't the show have enough characters, such as Krillin, used as comic relief already?

If Toriyama brought back Ten-san to get a quick shot on Buu, why not #17? #17 can't sense ki. He wouldn't know where to go, even if he somehow dodged the Extinction Blast meant for him. The extinction blasts were meant for humans, with energy signals, and #17 is an android who doesn't have an energ...

I pretty much agree. There would probably be even more annoyance among fans if so many of them weren't so glad to just be getting away from the Tenkaichi style of fighting. I personally am a fan of the Tenkaichi style of fighting, but I like the Budokai style too. I guess i just wanted to see somet...

Burst Limit, recycled Budokai?

From all the trailers I've seen this looks the same as Budokai; even the attacks characters have used were almost exactly the same. Isn't it kind of a bad way to start off on the next-gen consoles by just visually improving a game from four years ago and hyping it as something new?
