Really? Kids that young are still exposed to it? I can't stress this enough, but DB is common knowledge in Japan. Once a series ends it's not like America where nobody is exposed to it. You can't go to Blockbuster and get Eek! The Cat or Taz-Mania but in Japan if you go to ANY bookstore, there's 1-...

The main market is the now-adults who grew up with it as others have pointed out. Yes, because nothing screams 'adult' like the new DBZ plastic lunchbox set and notebook pack. DB continues to be aimed directly at children as it always has been, and, ironically, enjoyed by all. I was thinking, does ...

Nope. I doubt anything will ever top Dragon Ball because Dragon Ball is/was Dragon Ball. It's practically a rite of passage in Japan. I'm continually amazed by the fact that at least one kid in each of my classes can tell me how many times larger Porunga is than Shenron. I mean seriously. If you wan...

I think that the knowledge about Bebi creating Myuu is not common knowledge anymore, cause I sure don't have any idea on this. You've gotta be shittin' me. Things certainly have gotten less....'hardcore'. That has its positive and negative side of course but wow... Did you guys watch GT? Or was thi...

Wait what? Bebi creating Myu isn't common knowledge????? Oh man....my time has truly passed. Yes, the real info should indicate it's the rainy season in Namu's village on earth. I say this without looking at my Daiz some several thousand miles away but I can see how I made a mistake like that. Unles...

The content will be precisely the same, there's no question about that, but that was a translation I made YEARS ago and is truly sub-par work. I'm sure you can juice it up without adding superfluous facts. Regardless, so long as the subject, verb, noun order isn't EXACTLY my own work (as it was on W...

What to do with the timeline
I personally think this fits better in the already existing DB Wiki thread but my post was BLOWN THE FUCK OVER so I decided to ask in a more direct way to the remaining DB community: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_Dragon_Ball This looks pretty damn familiar to this: http://www.thegrandline...

Now I know we hear very little about Toriyama, but do you hear a bit more about him where you live? No. Dragon Ball is madly insanely popular. Even when not in merchandise everyone still talks about it. Raditz' power level is common knowledge amongst the general population of youth and at least one...

The Daizenshuu are crap it seems. ALmost every thread on here seems to have manetion of them and then a contradiction of some sort on the next line... It can't be to overly reliable. Definatly not something that should be taken to seriously. Yes, contradictions that extend as far as....Raditz power...

Guess you didn't catch on, but I was making fun of you. Anybody who says PWNED and are over thirteen years old should be punched in the nuts.
