Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
Honestly, this would have worked better for me if he'd been vague about why he can't lose and his teammates explained their crisis after the battle. It is a little sudden as-is, but oh well. Only a fancomic.

Re: Dragon Ball Z "Seasons" On Blu-ray: News & Discussion
That's what TV settings are for. If the encode is good, it's not that hard to brighten it up a little bit. It won't be perfect, but it would likely be a step up. People have done wonders with the Star Wars blu-rays by starting with basic color correction processes. It kills me that the cropping is d...

CLIPS OF STANDOUT TRACKS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbxj23oO0qk That sounded really good. I can't help but think that the second track's beginning sounded like something straight from the Yamamoto score (in a good way, of course). If this is what we have to look forward to in terms of the mor...

Re: Dragon Ball Z "Seasons" On Blu-ray: News & Discussion
I believe FUNi has downloadable copies of them on their websites They do but it's just so much nicer to have the physical copies of it, they're pretty much the best thing about the Orange Bricks. Which, I might add, no longer come with the books. It's a budget-conscious/environmental choice they ma...

Re: Major Metallitron?
I think that was done in the interest of alliteration. Strange as it may be, if they had to change the name and rank, that didn't go over too poorly with me.MoltenMan wrote:It's weird how they couldn't even keep the rank the same. Sergeant, Major, agree on something will ya!?

That might explain why FLOW's arrangement for Battle of Gods was so different. I hope not, I prefer the original.jpdbzrulz4sure wrote:Yeah, he just arranged it.

Re: Buu Saga Kai
I was rewatching episode 100 and noticed that this time they didn't even have enough money to redraw flashing shots. In the scene where a bus hijacker shoots police cars with a machine gun, the footage suddenly gets jumpy. They seem to have dealt with it by simply dropping some frames. I haven't no...

Re: Why do Kai haters say the the dub sounds boring?
I wouldn't go as far as boring , but I've always gotten a bit of a transliteration feel out of the Kai script. I think it could have used more adaptation -- no, I don't mean Woolseyisms. I mean a tightening of the script so that it sounds more natural in English. Although I have no specific instance...

Re: Is DragonBall a Masterpiece?
It's a masterpiece in some ways, but only related specifically to its genre. DragonBall perfectly encapsulates many the tropes that go with shonen -- and it's easy to see why the tournament structure, power levels, the dim-witted but well-meaning protagonist, emphasis on friendship, etc. are part of...

Re: Viz's Print Edition of the "Full Colour Comics" Discussi
I've always been of the mindset that it was out of consistency with the then-still popular TV edit dub of the series. Even though it was over when they got there, a lot of their subscribers/buyers probably still had fond memories of it. I'm fairly convinced that's the reason why VIZ went with Zolo o...

Re: 'That' Question.
I think the consensus is that said opinion is held by people few and far between who feel the need to have their voice heard in every thread ever -- much like, coincidentally, youtube commenters that prefer the dub. Most civil folks have come to agree to disagree, so to speak. However, the view that...

Re: Will you buy the Majin Boo arc when it's released on BD/
The question I wonder is if they will release Buu Kai in parts, or if they will be in seasons. I'm sure it will probably be the same as it has been: parts first, seasons later. It's too bad Funimation has no idea what "season" means. Sure is great we have you around to remind us of every ...

Re: Purchase Advice: Battle Stadium D.O.N. gamecube or ps2
For the record, if you have a wii, it's very easy to go region-free. You don't need to buy a freeloader, there's homebrew software that does the work for that now. So, based on that alone, the Gamecube version is more economically sound. Can't comment as to the gameplay differences between the two c...

The UUC DVDs have a full version of this ending on their English track angle, as well as a version of the opening featured on TV extended to Cha-La's length. You're not missing much.

Re: Kai Episode 99 (06 April 2014)
It's interesting to see how much just a little colour correction makes to the overall quality of the footage. http://i.imgur.com/tJsEoD3.jpg Apologies for the lazy screenshot. Funny how much better this simple balancing looks. How does the rest of the episode fare with these kinds of adjustments?

Re: Toonzai lines? Did Schemmel do most of them?
As I understand it, Schemmel convinced 4Kids to work with Okratron after only doing a few of these dubbed-over lines and any replacements from there on were in fact done by the usual actors. I wouldn't be able to pull out a source, though.
