Re: If Toriyama had stuck to his original plan for the Android saga?
For some reason a part of me says that Cell would still appear in the plot to absorb a pair of Androids, and the Mission becomes a slight twist on what we're familiar with where Gero and 19 are actively trying to get to Cell to be absorbed like they're sacrificial fanatics. No Cell existed purely b...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
He sounds like Plankton to me. I thought I was the only one who found their voices similar. I'm not sure if this is an unpopular opinion or not but I was never fond of Kyle Hebert as the Narrator. Seriously, I thought I was watching a documentary film instead of Dragon Ball Z. I'm glad he got recas...

If Toriyama had stuck to his original plan for the Android saga?
With 19 and 20 being the genuine Androids. No 16, 17, and 18 no Cell. How do you think it would have turned out? Personally I’m glad for the editor’s commentary because 19 and 20 were pretty boring. The only thing I could think of if they had stayed the true antagonist Vegeta’s attainment of Super S...

Re: Filler that the series needed.
, or at least gotten people who hadn't seen pre-Z more familiar with them. I would think the assumption by Toei is most people watching had seen Dragon Ball. The first episode of Z aired like a week after Dragon Ball. Not like they had the foresight that some countries would skip Dragon Ball. I don...

Yamucha becoming the show's punching bag meme is nothing to get upset over.
Tien, Chioutzu, Piccolo, and Yamucha should have stayed dead at the end of the Vegeta saga.

Re: The Shuki Levy score
The Ocean dub's replacement music was nothing but constant, earsplitting noise. Awful. There were no melodies or leitmotifs or anything, just cacophony. Faulconer was leagues better than Levy / Wasserman / whoever it was that composed it. But that's pretty much how I felt about Faulconer's score. O...

Re: Is the criticism against everyone getting the Super Saiyan form a legitimate one?
But would Gohan beating Cell just as a Super Saiyan have even made sense? . Yes? Is there a legitimate reason why it wouldn't? Gohan can't just be a more powerful Super Saiyan than his dad and Vegeta and Trunks? I honestly didn't even notice a difference between saiyan 1 and 2 as far as aesthetics....

Re: How was it watching a Dragonball series as the episodes aired?
I personally have always wondered what this was like for the original Japanese airings. Spoilers from the manga aside, it must have been really frustrating to have the story inch forward at a snail's pace due to the one-episode-a-week schedule. Or maybe the franchise was so popular back then they d...

Re: Is the criticism against everyone getting the Super Saiyan form a legitimate one?
Was there really a reason to invent levels of Super Saiyan? Why couldn't Gohan have just beaten Cell as a Super Saiyan without the whole ascended concept? Super Saiyan 3 was even more pointless. They should have just kept it as Super Saiyan and not had Goten and Trunk become Super Saiyans (also weir...

Re: Is the criticism against everyone getting the Super Saiyan form a legitimate one?
The whole concept of Super Saiyan became a joke when they started introducing new levels. ULtra SUPER SAIYAN! SUPER SAIYAN 2! SUPER SAIYAN 3! Really undermines the whole idea of Super Saiyan being legendary when it's just like stage 1.

Re: Questions for people who grew up with the Westwood dub

Re: Questions for people who grew up with the Westwood dub
On a more positive note, Saffron Henderson is still my favourite English voice for Gohan ever, and I wish I could live in a reality where she was always young Gohan in every dub. She was by far my favorite English Gohan too. Granted she doesn't exactly have much competition compared to Nadolny's sm...

Re: DBS #1 Trend in Twitter Worldwide right now.
That is definitely impressive for something that isn’t a high profile Western show like Game of Thrones. I can’t remember, but was there this kind of chatter over the end of Samurai Jack last year? It seems to be the most high profile anime in the west right now at least? And I don't think Samurai ...

Re: Thoughts on Colleen Clinkenbeard?
Her Gohan voice is grating but even worse is her Kid Goku, that one just makes me want to rip my ears off because of how bad it is. Clinkenbeard made both of these male characters sound extremely feminine as if they were actually girls instead and no, don't you compare this foreign VA to Masako as ...

Re: Pros And Cons Of Each DB Series
[ atleast some pieces from Kikuchi returned retroactivly. To me that was more of a con because it was poorly used it made me hate the Kikuchi score until I actually watch DBZ with it and realized the score was good just limited and poorly used by Kai. Which is weird because even as a kid I loved th...

The Shuki Levy score
What do you think of it? It's not my favorite score associated with DBZ but it works for what Ocean, Funimation, and Saban turned the show into; a Saturday Morning Sci-fi Action Cartoon. There's some cool sounding pieces here and there but nothing incredibly stand out (there is one piece I swear to ...

Re: Dragonball Z Kai Dub vs Dragonball Z Dub: The Final Verdict (I hope)
With the exception of Ginyu transforms and Super Buu's theme the Falcouner score ranged anywhere from sounding like a running washing machine and a bunch of cell phones on vibrate going off. The Yamamoto score had way more emotion, variety, and was just a lot more epic. The Falcouner score never had...

Re: Thoughts on Colleen Clinkenbeard?
I prefer her Gohan voice a lot more than Nadolny's Gohan, although I prefer Nadolny's Kid Goku than Clinkenbeard's. I don't know if her constant role of playing Luffy in One Piece has had an effect on her, but now in video games (especially FighterZ) her Teen Gohan voice is basically Luffy, which w...
