Same here. That's why I bought the Japanese digital full color versions and making my own English version for my own personal collection. Not to send out to scanlators or anything. I'd recommend you do the same.

Re: Official "Show off your Dragonball Crap" Thread

Sure I might, what release are they from? They're from Shueisha's digital Full Color release of the series. You can pick them up on the Japanese iTunes for only ¥500 each. It's a really good deal. I recently bought them all and am making my own personal English versions of them to tide me over unti...

Re: Your preferred English Dragon Ball Manga release and why

Owning the manga in about 7 different formats, I'd say you can't go wrong with the 3-in-1s. The price is the best bang for your buck. Next I'd say are the 1-16 of DB and 1-26 of DBZ graphic novel releases. Only for the better paper quality and that you wouldn't have to wait to get the whole series.

Re: The way Akira Toriyama draws facial expressions

I don't see the difference with other manga art styles. Really? I started reading Naruto and can't stop comparing Kishimoto's artwork to Toriyama's. It's kinda wonky and takes awhile to get used to. Kishimoto has a sort of Seinen style more than shonen. But Obata is right behind Toriyama as my top ...

Re: English names

I just see it a lot. Hate for people who like dubs, hate for people who like GT, hate for people who watch the anime and don't read the manga, etc. Is it actual hate , though? Are these personal attacks, or critiques of the dub? I ask because I see a lot of dub fans take it personally whenever the ...

We had a thread a while back tallying up forum-goers' language preferences . 28 people identified themselves as preferring one English dub or another (versus 61 for the Japanese), yet there was surprisingly little bloodshed. Maybe I just live in an idealistic fantasy world, but I see people complai...

I kinda get his original point. Or at least what I interpreted it as. For me, it seems like a majority of the users on here are Japanese purists. Be it the anime or manga. I've seen many instances of someone referring to Satan as Hercule or some minor name difference like Freeza vs Frieza (who gives...

You do realize that the size of the original Jump releases is even smaller than the paper they actually draw the manga on, right?

Re: What's your most recent Dragonball purchase?

Just picked up vol. 7 of the 3-in-1s. I like that they have the chapter numbers continue on from the traditional "Z" part and not start over again at 1. I just hope they release the Full Colors with the later arcs... Question, does your volume have this error? http://s30.postimg.org/lgpbi...

Re: Viz's Print Edition of the "Full Colour Comics" Discussi

Toriyama had to have cared at one point...the reason VIZ started publishing manga right to left instead of flipped was because Toriyama said he wouldn't let them publish Dragon Ball if they flopped it.
