Here's something stupid but it entertains me. Way back when DBZ was running in syndication on our local UPN station, I taped the episode where Piccolo dies while saving Gohan from Nappa's mouth blast. The tape I used was really old and worn out, so that part where Piccolo's getting blasted all to h...

I don't think characters should be representative of a group either. If I did, I'd probably think Dragon Ball *is* sexist, as it would represent women as nothing more than trophies and child-makers for the men a lot of the time. However, I just think that it's a pity Dragon Ball doesn't have many we...

Well, naturally. I don't think I'd relate to any of the characters I do if I wasn't a male, and with good reason. Much of the series is driven by masculinity, wanting to be the best, the strongest. It's an escapist fantasy for boys, with cool looking dudes performing amazing feats we can only dream ...

@VegettoEX I don't think it's right to say that white supremacists have only now been let off their leashes because of the recent election. I think that scumbag would have done what he did regardless of who was sitting in the whitehouse. I also don't believe that Trump is much of a trigger for these...

And I thought that English-dubbed Dragon Ball couldn't get any more inconsistent. Why did Laura Bailey stop voicing Trunks again? I can't seem to find anything that mentions it. EDIT: Found this tweet from Chris Sabat regarding the Trunks and Gotenks discrepancy, linked in the Dragon Ball Wikia of a...

Another misconception! They were actually 4:3 until DBZ movie 3, and then switched to widescreen from DBZ movie 4. At the same time, Toei video started releasing Laser Discs of DBZ movies, which were in 16:9 because LDs were for videophiles (as they preferred something "original", "i...

Damn, I completely forgot this was released on LaserDisc. Congrats on picking this up! I'm not sure how this compares to the Ultimate Uncut releases in terms of video quality, but it'd definitely be at least as good. I wish I had the money to get my hands on something like this, the movies have had...

I honestly hope Goku and Vegeta's next forms will be them in their black, normal hair. It would be quite ironic after all the colors we got, and I would absolutely love it. New SSJ forms are overrated, I would rather see them in their normal look, similar to Gohan's ultimate form. It would also be ...

Why are people still calling Cell Games Gohan "Teen" Gohan? Anyway, I think she's great as Gohan throughout all stages up until he gets mad in the Cell games. Something about her gruff voice seems a bit too forced for me. But I'd take her SSJ2 Gohan any day of the week over Nadoly's raspy ...

While I believe the Kai dub is better translated but the voice actors sound bored at times, maybe since with the original series, redubbing the series for the season sets, and video games, it seems like they just seem bored at times with the dialouge. While the dub of the original isn't greatest (I...

Isn't that line dub only? Funnily enough he actually DIDN'T say that line in the original Funimation broadcast and DVDs, but he does in the original Japanese and Remastered versions. I'm guessing that originally they got Sabat to record the line and then decided to take it out at the last minute be...

Hi Guys! Just wanted to give an update. We are moving along recording the episodes and I am getting better at Goku everyday! Really starting to get to know the character. Remember, we were told to make it our own, and not copy anything anyone has done before, so that is very challenging, but also a...

Does the original manga imply or state in anyway that Freeza is a mutant? I don't think so, also there was interviews or stuff that implies King Cold is a mutant like his son? Yes, in fact there was an interview with Akira Toriyama! Another quick question but why does the Falcouner music play all t...

So the word "Bra" is more objectionable than Videl's fight with Spopovich?

Well, the English dub of the Videl/Spopovich fight was heavily censored when shown on TV, so your point is kind of invalid.

Sounds more like a "I hate the media!" moment.

well i was shown dbz when i was 2 and i loved it! i remember when they cut vegeta's arm off, epic stuff.

The only release of the DB/Z movies in Japan has been Dragon Box The Movies , and the later singles disc re-releases of those same versions, and they were all cropped to widescreen. However, since the movies were animated in open-matte 4:3, with the intent or at least expectation of being cropped, ...

because in all honesty, what person with a functioning brain knowingly names their child Bra? I don't understand how anyone can keep saying this when the direct lineage here is an entire family also literally named the words for underwear. In a series where the villains were musical instruments. An...

I thought Bruce himself never had anything to do with DBZ's score in the first place.
