Kanzenshuu

Awesome cels!! I passed by the booth selling those a couple times, but he was always swamped with customers, and didn't feel like fighting through the mob... Anyway, I got to meet theoriginalbilis in line for Minaguchi & Furuya's autograph and it was nice to chat with a fellow Kanzenshuuster whi...

Yes, that is the first opening and the second ending themes on Movie 1. As I mentioned earlier, these sequences are cropped to fit the movie's widescreen ratio. I love the original ending of the series, but I have a particular fondness for ending 2. I love the party/festival vibe

Toriyama did a couple big race storylines in the manga, and the movie is sort of an adaptation of that.

Movie 4 is interesting, because it's kind of an adaptation to a manga story, but the characters are recast, sort of like actors playing the parts of "The Hoyoyo Gang" etc.

I always got the impression that the Tenkaichi Budoukai was relatively secret, or at least "elite" in the way that only the biggest martial artist enthusiasts knew about it. And then by the Buu arc, thanks to Mr. Satan's HYPE powers, it had "sold out" to some extent, cameras and ...

And Discotek is especially quiet publicly, right? Not necessarily like they're trying to hide anything, but a number of times on ANNCast, it has been said that they've reached out for interviews and the Discotek guys aren't really interested in speaking publicly. They just keep their heads down and ...

Sorry if this was already answered and I forgot, but are you watching each episode once in Japanese and then once in English? Or are you just spot-checking the Eng dub?

You're doing some important work here, Herms.

Finally got a chance to watch Movie 5! Here are some thoughts: First of all, not a big fan of that intro theme. Maybe it would grow on me if I watched a season of it :eh: Anyway, I think I still stand by my assessment that my favorites of this set are movies 2 and 4. This one was still pretty great ...

No cosplayers at my showing that I saw, but plenty of orange Goku gi t-shirts.

On the second film of Dr. Mashirito, were those white (skeleton-ish looking) robots supposed to be a reference to the Stormtroopers? Yeah, Toriyama frequently would draw Stormtroopers in the background of Dr. Slump. If I recall correctly, one of the policemen trying to stop the "Hoyoyo Gang&qu...

That looks pretty good! I wish they had gone this route.

That Godzilla packaging is nuts! Stacked discs? Wow :wtf: Well, I've watched movies 1-4, and so far 2 and 4 are my favorites. 2 has really fun sci-fi setting and some really funny stuff with Mashirito, but I think 4 may have a better story overall? 4 feels kind of more like a DB/Z movie, it's funny ...

Yeah I must admit my first thought when seeing the packaging was, "This certainly is a bare-bones release, isn't it?" But that's fine, because all I really want is for this to be able to make profit so Discotek licenses more, and if that's achieved by cheaper packaging, so be it! Either wa...

There's a pretty funny line in that "desu" intro scene where Goku is flustered and says something like "It is an honor for you to meet me!" and Beerus calmly responds something like "Certainly" or "I'm sure" That went over well with the crowd I was with.

*snip* I was in a Georgia showing too! Although in my experience, everybody IMMEDIATELY recognized Pilaf and the instant he and the crew showed up he received amused gasps and laughter. They were roaring throughout all of his antics. Yeah, my theater had a similar reaction. I was impressed! It was ...

there was at least one Lupin III thing I watched that not only had a bunch of seiyuu from Dragon Ball in it, it kept having the same sound effects too. It was...weird. :lol: Dragon Ball seiyuu in Lupin III you say? Well, I was shocked to hear Yasuo Yamada's voice coming out of Mashirito in Movie 2!...

Just watched movie 2 and I loved it! Dr. Slump Movie 2 makes me wish DB could get a villain with a musical number like that. Funny that you mention that, because it made me immediately think of Vegeta's Bingo song in BoG :lol: there was at least one Lupin III thing I watched that not only had a bunc...

Really looking forward to going tonight! I'm bringing a couple casual DBZ fans, so I'm really curious what they'll think of the film. I'll report back!

As long as the films were originally made for widescreen and no 4:3 versions exist IIRC, the Japanese VHS release was in 4:3. So I guess I don't know the full history of these movies. Were they all theatrically released? Are some of them OVAs? I guess I assumed that some of the shorter ones were li...

Got mine in the mail today and watched Movie 1! So fun, but I've seen it before a couple times via fansubs. Nice to get to see it with such good translation though 8) REALLY looking forward to 2-5, which I'm pretty sure I haven't seen. One thing that I never noticed before, but I'm assuming is not u...
