Re: What was your first introduction to Dragon Ball?
A pretty bog-standard United States "Stand by for Dragon Ball Z!" introduction with the Ocean cast in syndication. I could not tell you when I first saw it, I did see the 3-episode cut of Tree of Might, which I read aired in 1997? Frankly the only things I remember from that moment in time...

Re: DragonBall Z Abridged
Naturally Scott would think to mention the "There's a site too?!" joke, I love it. Was Namekamania the first episode to have as elaborate a promo trailer as it did? For its convention premiere of course, but it is the first of its kind I remember, and I did appreciate the enthusiasm. No on...

Re: Pioneer Movie Trilogy box scan
That is a seamless clean up, don't mind if I use Goku as my new phone background! It took me too long to piece together that its Goku flying through the darkness to get Garlic's castle. If only Shenron emerged from the clouds below like that in the movie, it would probably jump near the top of the l...

Re: DragonBall Z Abridged
I have enjoyed this very much so far. They spoke on all of this broadly with the TotallyNotMark tie-in videos, but this is minute-by-minute and even more minute, and there are still a couple of jokes I wanted expounded upon that got cut off by other comments. I never knew that Scott got his Dragon B...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super : Super Hero" Home Release Discussion Thread
FUNi never got on the 4K Blu train even when a Japanese equivalent existed, that I remember. Might be too early in the buyout for the decision on this one to be telling? I'd be surprised if Toei rendered the film at that resolution to begin.

Re: MistareFusion's Dragon Ball Dissection! (Updated 5/23/22!)
Funny enough I can forgive the leaps in Wrath of Dragon mentioned in the video as necessary or simple shortsightedness, but the one that always gets me is how Hoi figured out the other music box was one Earth (were the destinations hand-picked?), that Earth had Dragon Balls, and how he came to his i...

Re: “Z Movie Villain” as a Trope
All of the usual talking points- about a 1-hour runtime being too short, Dragon Ball not giving much backstory for a movie to work with, keeping it simple for the uninitiated the movies are trying to win over to Dragon Ball appeal, etc.- given to explain the kinds of villains we got make perfect sen...

Re: Episode #0490 (06 March 2022)
I too double-took at the episode drop. I appreciate the Dragon Ball basement mining but we miss the long takes! "Goku Experience RPG", eh? Who knew Kakarot was an honorary Tales game, what with that series " *Moral of the Story* RPG" subtitles. What's next, does it have a Z enkai...

Re: Bonus Tangiental Content: Small Videos + More
I work Saturdays and end up either forgetting or working too late to catch these, so I appreciate this. I support putting the Dragon Ball basement to good use if it is your regular workspace. The way you audibly leaned away from mic when the Killa news dropped is what made it. "That posh gay (K...

Re: MistareFusion's Dragon Ball Dissection! (Updated 12/11/21!)
I didn't like it on the first go around, of course, but subsequently I see Toriyama having boxed himself in with Gohan here. He had found his new toy with Fusion, but he had committed to Gohan for so long, since before Fusion was even on the table, that he was obligated to make something of him. So ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot" Official Discussion Thread
Still haven't bit on this one yet, the difficulty toggle drop may have made that advantageous. I'll be curious for the comparisons if they are not up already.

Re: MistareFusion's Dragon Ball Dissection! (Updated 11/22/21!)
Thinking of how much is made of Goten and Trunks being intended to be "normal children" (well, close enough) with Dragon Ball powers, the next generation of super warriors that has the power without the experiences our previous characters have had, that cannot take the life-and-death battl...

I knew we'd be going past the end of the manga for a while but this is really putting it into perspective! :lol: Stalling for GT indeed. Chiming in for last week for a moment, I love the "You can't kill Buu inside Buu" sequence. To actually going inside Buu's fantasy bubblegum demon body a...

Re: Legacy of Goku games in Japanese
LOG2 International has long been a curiosity to me too, would be intriguing to see how they reverse-adapt an entire script- that must have been a job. Fujimoto clearly having fun with those impressions.

Re: Is Dragon Ball bigger in the West than in the East?
I was under the impression that some products sell better abroad than in Japan due to market share size, but more broadly I'm inclined to say no. This does open a conversation about how Dragon Ball continues to get interest with kids in different regions over the years.

Re: Advanced Tenkaichi 2 in 2021
Having completely skipped the Raging Blast games (never had PS360 if you can believe it), I was surprised to see how much the Xenoverse games made me miss the Tenkaichis even as they fixed a lot of my issues with them. They made the combos smoother and more visually connected, added the jump/backdas...

Went through this in almost one go yesterday, I cannot help but like. It is a Goku centered story after his long absences in the Cell arc, a deliberately lighthearted pallet cleanser after spending almost thirty TV episodes under the shadow of Perfect Cell, and it brings Goku back to his old tournam...

Re: Funi's Kai dub and accuracy
It sucks that there was no consistency with the attack names. From what I have heard Kai's dubbing was chaotic apparently there was at least three different Funi Dub tracks being recorded. Uncut, Edited and CW. I recall this being the case too. For whatever mix of time, circumstances, and creative ...
