Kanzenshuu

Everything in Z up to the end of the Namek is better experienced in Kai. But after that OG DBZ is the definitive edition. And yes i'm a Bruce Faulconer stan, like how is it not better than the original. I mean I kinda see the point in that the music doesnt take that many breaks. But the up sides to...

Also, has Sabat ever said why he gave Jeice the Australian accent?

He looks like an asshole, what more do you want?

Four notes: - Bulma and the Crabs is particularly infamous among old-school dub fans. This is because the show went on hiatus (I THINK because the cast switched from Ocean to Funi's internal cast?) and repeated the original run multiple times. The Crabs episode, being almost pure filler, did not sit...

As Vegetto said, the science-fiction elements are almost never a focus. 90% of the imagery in Dragon Ball doesn't even have science fiction in it. Goku's an alien, yes, but we the audience are only informed about it and it's not a defining aspect of his personality or livelihood. Capsules are used f...

Man she's 43? I had no idea she was that old. I guess I wrongly remember her in the early 2000's when she first started voicing Videl and Goten and she was only in her 30's then. I laughed when I read this and then looked at jjp1112's signature. Congrats Kara! Your Goten is fantastic, I love him! O...

I don't think that the dub names like Turles and Burter are the result of any attempt at conveying the puns in English. More like Funimation using whatever names they happened to like. Also you say "recently", but unless I'm mistaken Kanzenshuu/DaizenshuuEX/Kanzentai has been using the 'Tullece' sp...

Two pieces of Trivia I think Robo should include: The UK dub of Tree of Might has Tullece directly refer to Goku as his brother. This caused confusion for a long time with American fans where Tullece does not do this. Turns out "English Dub" is far too broad a term! Tullece's name is a pun on the le...

Still quite busy with IGN guide work, but I thought I'd share a fun anecdote: when I was at Weta, I was talking with a pair of fellow Dragon Ball fans (just as likely to shout Rock the Dragon as they were Head Cha La, they were awesome) and I pointed out that the Rock the Dragon intro used barely an...

Suno was boring. Say one interesting thing about her other than “nice” and “had a crush on Goku” had she and Goku gotten hitched she would have been window dressing. Oh Suno, easily! While we didn't see her for that long, she has this immediate fascination and chemistry with Goku that I felt would ...

That's not the point, you shouldn't be exposed to that sort of thing at that age.

Should, or shouldn't don't matter.

The only thing that is important is that that happened, can't be undone, and that I enjoyed every moment of that part of my life.

When I was eleven years old, I didn't mind seeing hot anime girls, nude breasts, etc...

That's not the point, you shouldn't be exposed to that sort of thing at that age.

As for the fanservice stuff, Bulma was at least 16 when Dragonball started and in some places that is the age of consent. At least she wasn't a 11-12 year old. Besides we see kid Goku's 12 year old penis all the time in Dragonball and nobody minds. It doesn't matter what the age of consent is in a ...

Vegeta's turn to good does happen progressively. On Namek for example he's willing to work with his former enemies and even has a tearful plea to Goku, although he's still villainous. Android and Cell are interesting because he's sort of in a grey middle-ground: he has a ruthless attitude, but for s...

For me it'll always be the opening pink dress, perfectly encapsulating her youthful beginnings. Personally I actually liked the afro look. It's certainly better than that unexplained wild Yunzabit hairstyle! But I think Toriyama knew they were a bit radical, hence why they were only there for a coup...

It seems at times there was no rhyme or reason for what frames were and weren't redrawn for Kai, and some of them i could actually understand given that apparently the equivalent original shots from Z on the film prints when Toei and Q-TEC were scanning them in for the remaster didn't look too hot ...

Really gonna represent Bulma with just four images? IMO her range is much broader than that considering every arc or two has her age just a little. In OG-DB for example she goes from sprightly teenager to a young woman by the 23rd TB, and this progresses through Z as she becomes a mature mother. Thi...

So is this release just the orange brick footage with all its flaws, but in 4:3? I have the Dragon Boxes, but I still have nostalgia for the Funimation soundtrack and can't bring myself to buy any of the crap that's out there. Unless this is closer to Dbox quality then the old 00s singles are proba...

Definitely. As much as I enjoy Super it is a series seriously lacking in story. When you have as many characters as Dragon Ball does a good story depends on utilizing as many of them as possible. These first two arcs are really engaging because it gives development to all the characters regardless ...

I'm totally with you! It's actually something I started years ago, but haven't touched recently. It's definitely on my list of things to work on next though.

Awesome, that'd be amazing! : )

Oh... oops.
