Re: Dragon Ball Z "Seasons" On Blu-ray: News & Discussion
Amazon has new copies available again, but they ship in 1-3 weeks and are back to the 44 dollar list price. Don't know if it's been mentioned, I've been wading through screenshots.

Re: Watching Kai more often then the original DBZ
I've been doing the opposite....watching the filler episodes of DBZ, and re-reading the manga for the rest!

Re: Gohan might be still stronger than Goku
I thought I had read in the past that Toriyama kept wanting to make Gohan the focus but the fans always wanted more Goku, so he kept bringing him back front and center.

Re: Gohan might be still stronger than Goku
This just makes me wish there would be a new, post-GT continuity series with Gohan as the main character, where he starts training again and officially IS the strongest.

Re: What were the DragonBoxes' original Retail prices?
I'm pretty sure I paid 45 bucks at Best Buy for DB2.
I sold it for 255 dollars. Yeah, I sold it. I needed some extra cash and if I only own those Namek episodes cropped, so be it. I kept the first box, however.

Re: Dragon Ball Z "Seasons" On Blu-ray: News & Discussion
I don't think this has been answered yet, but if it hasn't, the ending theme is indeed double-zoomed still.
That's really uncalled for. What a shame to true DBZ fans.
I don't understand what the issue with the end credits is, why it's double zoomed.
However, it's not like I don't have access to ...

More generally, he's just an embodiment of everything wrong with DBZ, everything a hater can point at and say "See? This is why this series sucks".

Re: Manga Inconsistency's and Plotholes.
It's already a poorly written story, so going deeper to find more faults just seems like beating a dead horse to me.
Why do you bother posting about something you hate? I'm completely serious when I ask this. It'd be like me registering on a One Direction forum.

Also, I hope season 4-onward get linking covers with new art as well.

I watched Broli's film (#8) yesterday and seriously that was one of the worst things of Dragon Ball that I could've possibly seen, he's not only annoying, but repetitive and unbearable to watch which almost made me want to turn this off before the film came to an end though since I've never seen ...
