So are you implying that just because this is the internet is ok to be careless in how a comment structured? By the way just to clear any misunderstandings I was not attacking Kendamu but merely pointing out the fact that people take religion seriously and one should be careful in how we handle said type of comments. That's all.Big Momma wrote:dragonfist wrote:Let's not deviate the topic to anything religious since we don't know who might be offended by comments. As for me I'll just say: The Jew did it!
This is the internet, my friend.
Those lingering old fashion beliefs leads to unnecessary censorship like this. Viz basically has to do this to prevent some angry mother from calling in and complaining about how there are a few panels with breasts in them. Not that she's ever actually put more than an ounce of brain power into thinking about it. Rather, because those are the "values" that she's been taught her entire life without question.Big Momma wrote:@Kendamu: I do understand what you were saying, and I do agree. Those beliefs have a huge impact on the media today, despite how we don't see those beliefs enforced/acted upon in most of society.
In my opinion the Vizbigs are a superior release and I don`t agree with the bulky notion. They are very easy to hold and read. Or maybe its just me who is used to holding big books. If you are used to "small" books then I understand why it troubles you. Me, it doesn`t trouble me at all. I find their size brilliant. The size of the art is awesome.Rory wrote:I bought volume 1, and was not impressed.
1)They're too bulky, it's an uncomfortable read.
2)Still some greyscale images? Fuck off.
3)MORE censoring? You've got to be kidding
4)Doesn't look impressive when lined up, unlike the Tankobon.
The Tankobon is just better in my opinion, and I have all of them. So I may as well stick with those.
No...I was saying that, if religion ties into the topic at hand, there's no reason why we shouldn't be allowed to talk about it. I know you weren't attacking Kendamu, and I wasn't attacking you. Also, I'm one of those said people who take religion seriously.dragonfist wrote:So are you implying that just because this is the internet is ok to be careless in how a comment structured?

You`re welcome.dragonfist wrote:Gotta say rereboy thanks for this review of the VIZBIG release. Bummer I already have the tankoubon format. Can I ask what do you mean by author notes in the content?

I think it's obvious at this point that the Kanzenban will be released once the Z Bigs are all released. I could see it now...
"COMPLETELY UNCUT AND UNCENSORED! READ IT THE WAY IT WAS MEANT TO BE READ! DRAGON BALL AND DRAGON BALL Z PERFECT EDITIONS!"
A cookie if you can catch the joke.
Well, even if Viz releases a perfect edition (with everything done properly) after the Vizbigs are done, the Vizbigs will still have one advantage over that perfect edition. The price.Raki wrote:Unless people outright stop buying their manga, Viz will never change.rereboy wrote:They are finally doing things right.

I get'cha. And, as you can see, I'm not trying to be offensive. I just figured that if people are going to question long-time censorship standards that all they have to do is look at history to learn why we censor what we censor. It's not a perfect way to look at it but it'll give you some answers.dragonfist wrote:So are you implying that just because this is the internet is ok to be careless in how a comment structured?

Sorry for any confusion stemming from me pointing out what I thought was a very ambivalent comment specifically pointing out a single religion concerning censorship in any given country. I have learned the hard way to keep myself from singling out a particular religion (nasty experience), of course not on this board mine youKendamu wrote:I get'cha.

Actually I read someone say on this board that he had two versions of the manga and that in one of them the nipples in Yamcha`s eyes were less noticeable like Viz had reduced them or something.SSj Kaboom wrote:Speaking of nipples, there's something that's amused me for a while now.
Look closely. Those aren't just bugged-out eyes on Yamcha. Seems Viz's nipple-filtering isn't as thorough as they thought it'd be. Either that, or they didn't think people would catch it.
That made it onto the Cartoon Network airing, as well.SSj Kaboom wrote:Speaking of nipples, there's something that's amused me for a while now.
