It's right there on my top-10 DB songs. For me, the Bardock special was totally flabbergasting and that song sealed it with a golden key. Yep. I hate the begining of the full track, though. It's called foreplay :wink: As others have said, the Bardock TV special is truly an underappreciated gem - it...

Re: Hikari No Tabi/Light's Journey
It's a fantastic love song in many, many ways. It sets the mood magnificently for whatever should happen during that song.RoarkVegeta wrote:What are everyones thoughts on it? It makes me want to cry. Because when I was younger, I wanted to be Son Gokuu. And this song fits him perfectly.

To be fair, a good portion of the DB cast *are* (and already were ) the veterans of the industry. Talking about Masako Nozawa ( Galaxy Express 999 ) and Toshio Furukawa ( Urusei Yatsura ) would almost be like talking about someone like Don Messick or (more recently) Billy West over here. These part...

Here, the majority of us hold the Japanese cast in high esteem. It's not just us and it's not just the Japanese version watchers. I give all kinds of kudos to the Japanese cast. I'm sure lots of people around the world have enjoyed them. Thankfully I don't see the extreme degree of worshipness on t...

I have come to appreciate both the English (FUNi) dub as well as the original Japanese dub of the show. (Reminder: ALL animation is dubbed, whether pre-lay or ADR.) I appreciate the English (FUNi) dub even more now that they've done an English dub w/the Japanese BGM. Hearing it in English with the o...

Wow, how long has it been since I've posted in here? Still listening to the Podcast with about 11 minutes to go, but here are some of my thoughts: -- I was stunned at Otakon to find out the announcement, much as Mike and Meri were stunned. It'll be great to see these come out at an affordable price ...

'Tis true, you don't have to buy something to be a fan of Dragon Ball. However, I really like to have some nice tangible stuff to show off, or just to keep for myself, so that I acknowledge to myself (and no one else) that I'm a true fan. Granted, you don't have to go all the way to Akihabara to get...

Why do we tend to drop the Z?
I realize that when speaking of the manga, we tend to call it "Dragon Ball" because that is what it was always called in Japan. However, I notice people here tend to refer to the anime as it aired from April 1989-January 1996 as just "Dragon Ball" also, even though it was called ...

"Dragon Ball Z: The Silent Movie"
Found this on YouTube (and also available on a-m-v.org), it's very cute and it's already miles better than any live-action sequel that may eventually be made from the Dragon Ball Evolution movie.... Enjoy!

I haven't ever cried while watching entertainment ever. I do get choked up sometimes but never cry. If this counts I got choked up during the Bardock Special's ED theme Hikari no Tabi . Coupled with the fact that the Bardock special is kinda depressing and dark for Dragon Ball and that the song is ...

Re: Shedding Tears
We've all done it. In a series as long as Dragon Ball, it's impossible not to get attached to some characters. And the more emotional and empathetic ones such as I will shed a tear every now and then. So which moments have you found "a little something in your eyes?" From what I've seen s...

Here's that original instrumental + dub opening mix I promised. Had to go ahead and actually use the second animation from later episodes rather than the first episodes it appears in. For whatever reason, the quality of the intro was horribly close to VHS quality in the late 20s and 30s compared to...

People here seem to forget that the Japanese have to approve what gets released here before it goes on the market. I would think Toei has an interest in protecting its product... FUNi's releases of anything Dragon Ball releated is R1/R2/R4; since Japan is R2, Toei wanted to minimize any reverse imp...

You are right. It's so silly to fight with fans of other dubs.. All dubs are the same pieces of crap compared to the original Japanese version. It's ironic that you state it's silly to fight with other fans of other dubs, when you yourself are disparaging any other dub that isn't the Japanese dub. ...

As for the English Dan Dan, the one thing that really stood out was that the opening part doesn't have the loud guitar rift and the following guitar part (you know, the part right before the lyrics kick in) is really faint. ... But hey, at least they've been translated. If only DBZ was given simila...

I actually had a Goku backpack, back when the popularity was in full force. I remember how much I begged for that thing... I was at Anime USA and I found a SSJ Goku messenger bag. Although DBZ isn't exactly in the forefront of many anime fans' minds today, I bought it because those particular bags ...

First, let me get this out of the way: I am not fond of Linda Young's voicing Frieza in the show; I think they should have made it closer to Ryuusei Nakao's characterization of the role. After having read yet another tl;dr post about the FUNi voices and how they fit or didn't fit the character's voi...
