Kanzenshuu

I remember being pretty legitimately impressed at the time by Sabat's acting during his rematch with Goku in the Buu arc. The scripting and voices are decent during this time but I just can't get past the music.

Killa is such an inconsequential character that it doesn't really bother me. I mean at ...

Yeah I remember the UUE swearing. I nearly jumped out of my chair at Oozru Vegeta's "DAAAAAMN YOUUU" line.

Interesting that one of the few random uncut DB episodes I watched is the one with the mild swear. Speaking of DB I remember reading somewhere that later in it's Toonami run, the show became ...

Don't ask me why I remember this but I pirated a bunch of random ass DB episodes while I was in college two decades ago and there's a line from a filler episode in OG Dragon Ball where Ten is asking the locations for a Dragon Ball from a man he crippled during his more villanous days and the man ...

Yeah, the CONSTANT talking in the dub is something that drives me nuts, especially when it's VERY obvious that no one else is supposed to be talking. The dub also feels....overly punchy in spots. Too many characters being smartasses.

As someone who has been out of the fandom loop for a long time ...

Maybe Nadolny posted bail? Either way it's too bad. I actually didn't mind her Kid Goku outside of the gravelly voice that a lot of female VAs use when they're voicing little boys. I'm watching some old DB with my kids and I think she captures his ignorant goofy side pretty well



There’s a ...

The dub can be alright nowadays but the "legacy cast" - the guys who have been around since 1999 really bog it down. There's a large segment of the fanbase that would riot if that happened so you know that's not happening anytime soon.

Mmmm I think Schemmel is fine as Goku thoguh his Kaio HAS ...

I dont think it really matters, but Krillin being stronger than Tien is unacceptable imo.

I'm Krillin fan numero uno but him being stronger than Ten (this) is nuts

Honestly? That really cool high pitched demonic scream Scott McNeil would sometimes do as Piccolo. Sounds awesome and otherworldly.

The characters did things in the meantime, yes.
But the story still frames itself like their success depended on Goku's return at the end of the day.

"What a fearsome Ki. Hold on just a little more, you guys, I'm going to get out of this tube any second now!"
- No, this is not Toei filler, this ...

The only thing that really bugs me about the trope is it gets to the point where the B team is so outclassed they just sit around and lament about how useless they are. At least earlier on the characters could put up a bit of a fight and it felt like they were contributing. I'm rereading the Android ...

His Kai score was great. Let the man rip off songs who cares.

They should do a release that has all the grainy old fansubs put on a disc complete with excessive and unnecessary swering.

I'd argue the Funi dub, especially in it's syndication through Toonami era is so rewritten and tailored to the sensibilities of western kids it's practically an American show at that point anyway.



Any 80s cartoon adaptation would be censored to hell and just try to downplay the violence ...

Nozawa is scheduled to make an appearance at the "Nostalgia Con", and this "FGS autograph" company was selling off a limited number of tickets to get a piece of official Dragon Ball merch signed by her. I checked and saw the $3000 USD price tag and my jaw dropped. Is this just late stage ...

Dragon Ball needs more "B-team saves the day" plots. Hey I love Goku and Vegeta but everything comes down to them and their dynamic is played out. I guess Super Hero scratches that itch too.

Anyone notice Kuririn goes Super Saiyan in this? OK so he doesn't have the hair but he has the gold aura.

Does anyone know what episodes were used to fill in the Tree of Might TV edit (Ocean dub)?


I don't recall exactly but I think it was either before or after the Bulma and the crab episode.

It was extremely frustrating as a kid because when they got to the end of the episodes they had dubbed ...

The Saban/Ocean dub ("Seasons 1 and 2") of DBZ has a few instances of blood I remember. Goku wiping some from his mouth during the Raditz fight (though it's less than what it was uncensore) and there's a tiny bit on Tien's mouth during the Nappa fight (probably an oversight). There was also lots of ...

Wearing around weighted clothing all day is really rough on your joints too.

Another dub question - wasn't the UUE uncensored when it aired on cartoon Network? I swear I remember it being uncensored when I caught it on TV back in the day, including some nudity.
