I read like, ten posts in three different threads, and I already hate that forum. The general feel is "Everything past Frieza sucks balls."

Where's the season 8 advertisement with Chris Sabat? I always get a kick out of those.

Re: Silliest defense you've heard of the live-action movie?

3) The movie's an adaptation of Dragonball, not Dragonball itself, which means it need not bare resemblance to it's source. In what universe is that a silly argument? That's pretty much the definition of adaptation. It stems from the word "adapt" which means to change to fit an unfamiliar...

Hard to say once Power Levels got so huge, Scouters became useless and we stopped getting numbers around the Trunks Saga.

I found a website YESTERDAY that had some of the mangaka's messages translated, and I can't remember for the life of me what the site's name was.

Anyone wanna list popular DB fansites for me?

Budokai Tenkaichi 2, Movie 13, and the first Ultimate Uncut DVD with episodes 1-3 of DBZ two Christmases ago.

I am in a DB rut.

Yeah, Dragon Ball is not special in that regard. A lot of FUNimation dubbed anime has their script altered. Sometimes slightly, sometimes not so slightly. Desert Punk's dub isn't extremely faithful to the original for the sake of comedy, as it is a comedy anime. And if you've ever watched Shin-chan,...

Viz is a whole 'nother can of worms. Their manga is edited to hell, but their anime is fine, for the most part.

I just watch the show and enjoy it for what it is. I think that's really what everyone else should do and not be so offended by crap that, at the end of the day, isn't affecting them. Whatever the hell FUNimation or ANY company does to ANY anime isn't literally destroying the original version of th...

Thoughts on FUNimation's treatment of Dragon Ball

Personally, I never found FUNimation's alterations to the Dragon Ball series annoying or frustrating. When I first learned of what changed, I found it more concernable as to WHY those things were done in the first place than anything else. However, due to FUNimation's involvement with various anime ...

What was the point of Burst Limit?

Apparently, it's Budokai 1 with Budokai 3 gameplay and Budokai Tenkaichi graphics.

Is it really worth purchasing or should I just enjoy Tenkaichi 3 with it's slew of characters?

I remember the dub had Bulma say they hadn't met in 5 years. Of course, that's either a dub mistake or FUNimation is implying they met once inbetween the fight with Buu and the last tournament. 10 years and 5 years, respectively. Confirmation on the last one? I could've sworn the timeskip between Z ...

Back when Dragon Ball Z had a magazine, and had GT toys in a catalog, I thought "Son Gokou" was Gohan's son. And I thought it was pronounced "GO COW!" I can't remember if it was Beckett DBZ or Dragon Ball Z: The Magazine, as they were two different zines. I miss those things. The...

Overall, I guess Dragon Ball, but I'm not committed. The Red Ribbon arc, from the Red Ribbon Saga all the way to the Fortuneteller Baba Saga was my favortie storyline, but the Buu Saga is pretty close.

What's the problem here? Decent looking font for the movie titles, a character relevant to the movies on the cover... Are we complaining about two shadowed obscure figures in the background some people won't even notice?

It just seems like buying it earlier means nothing now that it's packed with something else.

I guess that's why we have eBay.

I don't have a problem with this set, but I really hope they don't pull this with Fusion Reborn and Wrath of the Dragon. I already bought Movie 13, I don't want to buy it again just to get Movie 12.

Same deal with Season Two of GT and the special, which I also bought by itself.

But I guess that's Dragon Ball for you.
