Re: Dragon Box dreams and predictions

Only one I can really think of is for DBox the movie to release with the TV Specials in tow, so not much. My Dragon Box pipe dream is that they've delayed the Boo-arc boxes so that they can give that portion of the series a redub in lieu of one for the soon-probably-cancelled Kai. Alas. Glad I can t...

Re: Bardock Special: Director's Cut

Can't believe this is actually coming together so quickly! Where would it be hosted, if anywhere?

I can't say I'd like a Broly ending myself, as he's just so disconnected from the rest of the Sayain story, ridiculously convenient back-story and all.

http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/5699/094small.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us Didn't know Tsunade was in Dragon Ball. Oh wait... Anyway, plot seems pretty standard, which is fine, Marron is ridiculous, and I really want to know where all of these supposed traces are coming from, as I can see some.

Re: Dragon Ball Memories

Buying Legacy of Goku, beating it, and realizing that it sucked sans a couple soundtrack choices (Someone remix the ending, please). Buying Legacy of Goku II, beating, and get swept up into how epic the Cell games were and the sheer improvement over the first game. Staying up later than I should hav...

Re: Underrated English Voice Actors

If you can't justify a performance beyond, "I grew up with that", then you have no argument. Plus, it doesn't hold water to me even on a personal level. The first Goku I heard was Peter Kelamis (I didn't start watching DBZ until the early Namek/Freeza arc). But he's no Masako Nozawa, even...

Re: Parts of the story you would change?

1) The manner of Piccolo's (first) death. "Wait a minute, why didn't I just grab him?!" Killed it for me. How did it kill the moment? I found it perfectly reasonable for Piccolo to do what he did. It's based on instinct. Piccolo saw the kid who he'd been caring for over the past year in d...

Re: Underrated English Voice Actors

Kent Williams. Love his Dr. Gero and Tao Pai Pai. Those are two voices I arguably prefer FUNimation's take on, although they're very similar to the original Toei voices as well. I can't always speak for the quality of the script, of course. Agreed. His Gero has an almost Faux-Freeza quality as he g...

Re: Newbie to Dragon Ball! My experience...

You know... I think that line has become a Japanese meme... That's probably true. The first result you get after googling "のことか" is the quote itself. :P And it's the second suggestion who get, when you typed "クリリン" on Google Japan. First response I get when typing in "Are y...

Re: Goku - what he's really like

I don't know about boring, I always thought it was one of the things that made Goku a little more intersting then yourot your run-of-the-mill super hero. I wonder if this is also a cultural thing? A lot of shonen heros share a similar trait, always looking for new challenges, getting excited at the...

Re: A Perfect Dub

I always hear that, "If a dub is way too much like the Japanese track, it sounds unnatural." Nobody's ever given me a good example of this. That Yu-Gi-Oh! uncut dub they did back in the day (which was quickly canceled after about eight episodes) is a good example. Sounds like they just st...

Re: Favorite English Evil Laughter

Duncan Brennan as Babidi hands down. I really hope he returns in the Kai Dub (If Kai gets that far). I know he was Mr.3 in One Piece, so he still is active with FUNi. Agreed, probably my favorite in the dub as well. You really get the sense that he's the sort of villain who enjoys the suffering he ...

Re: Parts of the story you would change?

Except that Gokû already went through a moment of anger at Kuririn's death during the Daimaô arc. They could've used someone else this time... but I guess part of why he's that angry is that with it being his second death, Kuririn could presumably never be revived again. I recall Goku explicitly sa...

Re: Breaking Point

I've yet to have such a breaking point. Watching it again on the Dragon Boxes, the Freeza saga and the other three redubbed arcs are different things in my mind. Not that I won't admit it's varying amounts of jarring to go back to the dub after watching a few episodes in Japanese, of course. :roll:

Re: Dragonball Kai (FUNimation English) Dub: General Discuss

Eric's acting I think is of the same quality as always, that being good. The voice is what's irritating, but I'm assuming it's because that's just how it's "developed" over time and through all of the recent video games. At the same time though, it's not THAT different than what it used t...
