Re: The new arc will (may?) settle an old debate: Tenshinhan vs. Kuririn

I think the reason that this debate will always be kept alive, and essentially the problem with it, is that if we were not told Krillin was the strongest human, it would be easy for us to definitely pin Tien as the strongest. From the first time we met him in DB, to the last time we saw him in RoF, ...

Re: Any examples of bad voice acting in the original?

Are we really qualified to determine if there was ever bad voice acting in the Japanese version? I feel that unless you know Japanese, you don't know whether proper tones, emotions, or projection were used. Unless we actually understand how Japanese people speak, the only thing that we have to judg...

Re: DragonBall Z Abridged

I really loved the music placement of the Burst Limit and Fusion songs. Great job, those two games have a fantastic soundtrack, Burst Limit especially.

Re: Why is the physical manga so DARK?

Thank you all for the helpful responses on this thread. I can't believe after all this time of publishing these mangas year after year, no one at Viz ever thought "Wow, some of this really looks like shit." Or...I guess they did, and just figured editing for the online version only cost mu...

Re: Why is the physical manga so DARK?

For starters, it's dark because it was coloured originally but Viz didn't want colour pages in its manga. My only guess for why the online manga is lighter is that they received complaints from readers of the physical copies and so they touched up the online version. Maybe later print editions have...

Why is the physical manga so DARK?

I finally got my hands on all 26 volumes of DBZ. Regular Viz editions, not big or 3-in-1. However, I'm sort of disappointed. There are some pages that are so dark I can't even make out some of the characters. For some reason, I can't find a single other person that has complained about this. I thoug...

Re: Why does the Dragonball Manga Box Set(Vol 1-26) Cost SO

Definitely by no means a bad deal, I'll try for a day or two more to see if I can find the collectors edition though, and if I can't, then I suppose we'll definitely be in touch.

Bare with me here, are you selling the collectors box with the mangas inside, or are you selling just the mangas and no collectors box? Was just a bit confused by your post. Also, I'm good on the Dragonball (1-16) ones, the collectors box of that just came in the mail yesterday and was cheap and eas...

Still having no luck in finding a box set at a decent price. Everywhere I look it is sold out. I tried contacting that animewild.com site which shows they still have it. However I have sent about three emails in the past two weeks asking if they still actually have it in stock and they aren't replyi...

Re: Nicktoons to Air DBGT in North America (Confirmed)

I think what annoys me most about his music is that every song sounds exactly the same. It's always this eerie, drowning guitar. All of his music sounds like it belongs in a zombie horror survival game, and it just does not fit GT at all....some examples: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=773BXOKltIg&a...

Re: Nicktoons to Air DBGT in North America (Confirmed)

Aww yeah, turn kids on with DBZK, and then turn em right back off with GT. What an awful decision. It would have made 10x more sense to go from the Cell Saga with Kai all the way back to the beginning of Dragonball. At least kids would know what the hell is going on instead of there being a complete...
