Re: Dragon Ball

For the most part, no. There was some censorship, but that was only due to changes in broadcasting standards in Japan.

Broly's Motivation

I almost hate to open this can of worms, but does anyone else find Broly's whole beef with Goku to be absolutely nonsensical? It seems that we're expected to believe that a newborn was so distressed by another baby's crying that he was able to remember him by name, recognize him decades later and th...

Re: Most absurd claims about Broly you've ever heard?

A few years ago I remember seeing, "Broly is stronger than Omega Shenron," multiple times.

I personally don't even think Broly is even up to Super Perfect Cell's level.

The Dr. Slump crossover was pretty much completely redone if I recall correctly.

I've always liked Giran, not sure why. Maybe it's just because dinosaurs are cool.

Re: Death Battles: Vegeta Vs Shadow

Shadow really isn't even in the same league. It's rather telling that Super Shadow could still get knocked around hy lasers and rubble in the final boss fights of SA2 and his game. Vegeta would have absolutely no problem pinning him down until the invincibility wore off.

Re: Cell in the FUNI dub compared to Freeza

Sabat sounds natural now, I still think he sounded unnatural up until Kai. I meant Schemmel sounded weird in Z, not Kai. My bad if that was unclear. The issue wasn't the rasp, though, not to my mind anyway. I think he's was just not as talented or experienced then as he is now. I see, no problem, h...

Re: Cell in the FUNI dub compared to Freeza

Rasp isn't axiomatically bad, it's only bad when it's forced like Trunks in Kai. Sabat's sounds natural. Some people have naturally raspy voices. And I still think Schemmel sounded stiff and weird up through the Cell saga Well, I would like to hear them as you hear them because I never once would u...

Re: Cell in the FUNI dub compared to Freeza

Just because Linda Young was meant to sound raspy doesn't change how awful it came out. Chris Sabat's Vegeta wasn't on the level of his terrible Drummond impression, but he was still far too raspy up until about when Kai started. And I still think Schemmel sounded stiff and weird up through the Cell...

Re: Cell in the FUNI dub compared to Freeza

Even in the DBZ dub, Cell was in the right....ballpark. FUNimation didn't have a completely accurate grasp on the character, but their take on him was correct-ish, and Dameon Clarke did a good job in DBZ considering what he was given (and a great job in Kai ). Freeza, though? They weren't even in t...

Re: Cell in the FUNI dub compared to Freeza

I honestly think Dameon Clarke's performance goes a long wat in making Funi's Cell more tolerable than their Freeza. He just kind of ran with the weak material and gave a performance that's really enjoyably hammy. Especially in his Perfect form. I love having him back for Kai. With the better materi...

Re: DragonBall Z Abridged

Sigh... I swear, y'all just quit trying after season 2. Funny enough, I feel the same as you on TFS: the last thing I remotely laughed at was the "But you know what they say, Vegeta...and you eat that horse" joke from Goku which is from quite a while ago. I don't know, tbh, guess I'm just...

Re: Question for purists about movie titles..

I've never seen Movie 8, but on the subject of interchangeable titles, could you really call it "Super Decisive Battle for Earth"? Doesn't it take place on some other planet inhabited by those little guys? Paragus was going to conquer Earth anyway, so I would think so. I've always found t...

I do agree, but I think that's just because I'm a sucker for that song in general. One of Kikuchi's best, that's for sure.

Re: Which Dragon Ball game has the most clones?

I disagree that BT1 and Sagas had all of the characters cloned. There were a few characters that had different specials, animations, and mechanics. To me the game that had the most clones was Ultimate Tenkaichi, and I for one enjoyed that game, despite it being the worst DBZ game IMO. BT1 I don't t...

Re: Most memorable BS dub lines / names

When Nail regenerates his arm Freeza says he'll have to, "make a copy of that power." I can't even fathom what they were getting at with that line.
