That. Would be horrifying. It's too maniacial. Boo just doesn't understand. He is simple - not creepy.

Re: Why do so many American fans hate Kai?

God. I love a good ole argument. :D

But seriously. My view will be biased because I love Kai just so much more.

I would assume that some people don't because:

-Occationally odd pacing. Sometimes it jumps ahead of itself since they took some of the filler out, even from the fights. Sometimes it ...

Re: Mike's Upcoming JPNS Toy Releases Thread

Damn , Figuarts Goku looks fantastic! The painfully long wait was worth it. Perfect colors and sculpt... except...

- He comes with five right hands and four left hands
- He comes with four faces
- He comes with some sort of 'Kamehameha effect parts'

He doesn't come with a screaming/yelling face ...

Re: Mike's Upcoming JPNS Toy Releases Thread

Oh wow, that's not nearly as bad as I was expecting. I'm used to looking at the really nice figures and seeing that they cost upwards of $100. I might actually be able to convince myself to order this Goku figure then.

Course, it'd be easier and cheaper still if RightStuf were to carry it, as they ...

Re: Do Saiyans murder their own families?

Now, I know I have a bad habit of applying the real world to dbz. But, I think vsauce's video Are We Ready For Aliens ( at the eight minute mark) explains this perfectly. In short, we cannot apply human conditions and psyche onto aliens. I agree that that idea is almost completely impossible and ...

Re: Could Dragonball/Z work as a serious show?

I don't think that a show being 'dark' means that it has to loose it's comedic parts. They just exemplify a different type of comedy. But not one the Toriyama would have written. The example that comes to mind is from

However, some of the premises of the series are already pretty dark. I mean ...

Re: Favorite voice for Vegeta?

It's a tough call between Ryo Horikawa and Chris Sabat as they both play the character so so well but so differently. I lean more to Sabat because I love the way he says "Prince of all Saiyans" and "WHAT CLOWN!?!?"

I agree with Sabat's use of derogatory statements. He was born to be a bully ...

Re: Female Dragon Ball fans

My problem is that I don't know anybody at all who likes DBZ. Not a soul. My husband will watch TFS with me. It short and frankly hilarious. But that's it. He certainly doesn't want to discuss the show in minute detail. I can't say that I flaunt my interests. I only have two shirts ( one is huge and ...

Re: Dragon Ball Z - No actual character development?

Unfortunately, most of it has to happen within our own minds as there is limited characterization to work off of anyways. But I completely agree that it exists. However, I like that some characters' (mostly Vegeta) moral affiliation is not always clear.

Is Vegeta an asshole? Yes. Is it because he ...

Re: What's your most recent Dragonball purchase?

So difficult to find a poster for Dragon Ball that isn't terrible so I was very pleased to find this:

Supposedly something early from Japan including a very badly translated passage from the start of Vol. 17.

I agree - they all look like something a twelve yer old yo would have scotch taped to ...
