I have always wondered what inspired FUNi to reach the "Linda Young version" of Freeza

Okay fine, the Pauline Newstone/Linda Young Freeza.

Watching these again I have to appreciate how much thought Toriyama put in to preventing the Dragon Balls from resolving the Freeza fight before it begins. Porunga can grant 3 wishes, but in exchange he can't quite do everything, and he certainly cannot intuit the unspoken details of your wishes! :l...

There have been so many "topical" episodes for the Buu arc so far, but then Buu's continuous story swerving really invites it. I didn't expect the Videl vs Spopovitch video to open with "Do you ever realize the Tenkaichi Buodkai has no rules?" :clap: I've always appreciated just ...

I've been following the rewatch threads a bit but have never posted and just want to say I appreciate Robo and KBABZ doing so much with the trivia sections, they are worth the stop by by themselves. I do agree with Slug being the first sign of the initial DBZ movie formula wearing out its welcome, a...

Hopefully not. Do we know what format FUNi received their Dragon Box footage in?

The question for me has always been how much of his own man Piccolo Jr. is- and his ceding his tournament loss to Goku and the resulting detente has never struck me as something old King Piccolo would have settled for. And in that case, if Piccolo isn't a 1:1 of his daddy, then suddenly we have a ch...

"Wait, you're telling me I can watch the entirety of Japanese Dragon Ball Super tv show and read the manga, in my language, the day it hits shelves in Japan... for free? With the very real possibility that I my get my fill and not actually purchase the product afterward?" With the caveat t...

I need to give the dubs with the licensed music another listen, but I recall thinking they didn't fit with Dragon Balls bright and round aesthetic, even if some of the movies that used them were in very dim battlefields! I do like some of Mark Menza's tunes for the later movies, Gogeta's theme, the ...

I do appreciate Budokai breakdowns, as I always found the games so stiff (until Shin Budokai, at least) and all the characters being built from a handful of skeletons so obvious that I couldn't find meaningful ways to compare them.

There is something to be said for Tenkaichi 2's being "thorough to a fault", the few characters it was lacking aside. In glut of of endless Dragon Ball games that is a small honor to take. T3's looks a lot smaller at first, but all the optional scene transitions packed into each fight make...

As one who somehow finds little fun Mario Kart and much prefers Diddy Kong Racing's priorities, I appreciate that analogy. :clap: Bojack's an enjoyable movie, but it's always been top of the middle at best to me. You have the very novel first act, great artwork all around, and some of the widest use...

Oh good timing, I finally got around to this and Path to Power last week. Goku and Krillin were great start to finish, the movie communicates a lot with a little and all the jokes at Krillin's expense in particular land squarely. You think the cut to Krillin on the buffalo is going to be a reprieve ...

Probably wealthy but weak, or at least not superhuman, aliens that use him to get what they want. We just don't need to see any of them since its just a motive for the pirates and mercenaries our characters are actually fighting. It does strike me as a deliberately dark notion whenever I see that ma...

The notion of an "itch" really has two different meanings; what you want in a Dragon Ball follow up from as a story, and the feelings and experiences that that brings, to go with however you remember experiencing the original stuff at the time. For the latter, having brand new Dragon Ball ...

I had become so accustomed to DBD's well-deserved absence after December that I double-taked when I saw the upload alert! :lol: Is there one thing that made it so clear to you that Dragon Ball's "civilian" side had changed so much? The breakdown on how out of place a secret-identity bearin...

Is that Cooler's Revenge cover art a Toei illustration or a Funimation pan? I forgot how nice it looked.

Mike, we don't pay you, we marvel at you. Granted, now you have given us even more to marvel at. The level of detail some of these guides are going for is something I would never had expected. But it makes a lot more sense in light of having so many new er (in the scope 20 years, of course!) contrib...

The Amazon Video Japan presentation of the movies just makes me sad now, because when they were coming out it looked like the movies had finally gotten "their due"- some of them at least. Then the blu-rays hit and they're a more benign version of what Funi's doing.

I do not recall FUNi explicitly mentioning cost as a barrier to the Level sets, and when asked point blank in the Kanzenshuu user questions segment (where would I find that? I've found it again before but don't know what category is falls under) the respondent again said it was a number of things. T...

I was and firmly am in the mindset that Dragon Ball ended in 1995~6 and the all subsequent material is just extra, so that really dampens any desire of mine to get too flustered about anything. The social element of taking in new Dragon Ball material at the same time the world over is probably the b...
