Re: How long would it take Goku to master a new martial art?
Good points. It's difficult for me to argue. I suppose we'd just be getting into semantics, personally it's difficult for me to separate power from skill in Dragon Ball, they come as one package and most of the time, a stronger fighter is also a better martial artist. I still see characters like Fr...

Re: How long would it take Goku to master a new martial art?
IMO Goku is only a fighting genius on Earth. The worst Saiyan is on par with the very greatest humans when it comes to natural talent, that makes sense considering the Saiyans are the greatest fighters in the universe. When Raditz shows up, despite the fact that Goku has trained all his life while ...

Re: Why Does the Japanese Version of Dragon Ball Sound So Awkward?
I believe Steve Simmons chose that translation due to the fact that it sounds like what Cell actually said, which was "shimatta," a general Japanese oath. Basically a little in-joke. He only says "HOLY SHI-" because Final Flash cuts him off. Simmons must have thought it appropri...

Re: Has the series ever had good guys who become bad?
The previous Kami was never evil. Garlic Jr. was evil, and the "Nameless Namekian" had some evil in his heart before his good half became the God of Earth.Polyphase Avatron wrote:The previous Kami is still the best example I can think of.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I don't like Piccolo's cape or turban. I like the look on paper, but the anime really overdoes it. The wind is always blowing it, it's insane the amount of turbulence this thing must cause. Furthermore, the episode near the beginning of Z where Piccolo shows up at Kame House, he's literally playing...

Re: Funimation Buu release guess?
Okay so for the original Kai, Funimation announced in February 2010 that it would start being released in May 2010. That's 3 months from announcement to release. And if we're predicting that The Final Chapters will start airing in December, then 3 months before that would be September. So would it ...

Re: Does the Kai soundtrack make a big difference to you?
I don't care about faulty products in the first place. What Yamamoto has done, wasn't only his fault in my eyes. TOEI seriously f**cked up. They are in charge of the product and Yamamoto was recording the music in advance. Don't tell me, that you won't recognize that piece of music is similar to a ...

Re: Is Black really trying to kill all humans?
"People." "People" doesn't work, it could apply to gods almost just as well as non-gods. The unfortunate fact is, there is no succinct translation. No single word exists in English that can properly convey what "ningen" means in this context. So there's no use trying t...

Re: Does the Kai soundtrack make a big difference to you?
I'm not a fan of the Yamamoto score, not really of Kai's Kikuchi either, I typically stay away from Kai because the score doesn't fit my tastes. Kikuchi's original score, that's what my ears want when I'm watching Dragon Ball. I even prefer GT's original score to Kai.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Edit: I want to interpret for a living. Once I'm finished with school, I plan to learn both Spanish and French, so I'll probably try more dubs in the future. In that case I'd recommend you check out the French Kai dub and the Latin American dub or "Audio Latino" as people in Latin America...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Simply put, the casting choices, while better than the old Z actors, is still poorly done. Are there any Non-Japanese dubs of anything DB related that you do like? Not specifically English, anything really. I've never tried any other than the JP and English. I do like dubs of some other anime. &quo...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I don't like the English Dub for DBZ Kai. Not sure how controversial that is It's an unpopular opinion on here but a fairly widespread one outside of this website. Why do you feel this way might I ask? Is it just English dubbed Kai you dislike? Or English dubs in general? Simply put, the casting ch...

Re: What version did you start off with?
I was one of the people who got into the series at the end of the video game boom. I saw the show during one of its re-runs around the end of Toonami (before its revival). The first time a watched a significant part of the series was when Kai started airing (on Nicktoons I think it was). I watched m...
