Re: At its core, why is Dragon Ball so loved?

It's the delicate combination of a lot of things , the balance of drama/comedy, world building, likable characters, unique Toriyama designs, and the over the top battles. No other show really has everything like Dragon Ball, except maybe it's successor (in my mind) One Piece. Which in some ways impr...

Re: Anyone surprised the original run of Dragon Ball/DBZ/GT only lasted about 10 years?

Only 10 years? That's a long time. It ended at the right time also..until Toei saw dollar signs and decided to pump out the soulless modern mediocrity we have now. I really think GT was a solid last breath for the franchise and was clearly a sign that the franchise had exhausted its potential. God K...

I meant that to defend you. People are piling on you and I felt that was unfair. I meant to be on your side. I think people are really unfair to Falconer fans.
The so called "piling" was more so towards the OP. His statements have been very strange and ignorant.

Re: English version with cool music???

Every time someone pulls the ol “Faulconer music fits Z better because Z is Sci-fi” I die on the inside. How hard is to just say “I like this music better” or “This is what I grew up with so this is how I prefer it” no need to justify with some bs logic that a completely clueless company that could...

Re: English version with cool music???

Where can I check out those different versions legally? I saw some DVDs in the original DBZ web site, but is it not possible to buy the digital version of it? BLUrays and dvds are so old Not really sure what "other" versions you are referring to. He was saying you should give Kikuchi (the...

Re: Are there other shonen you acknowledge as better written than Dragon Ball?

I'm sure it's been stated dozens of times in this thread, but One Piece is absolutely better written than DB. I feel like it takes all the things I like about DB and builds upon them. I guess when it comes to the Anime's pacing(I'm 700 eps in) its probably the absolute slowest long shonen. Every arc...

I agree, unless they announce the level sets reboot these Steelbooks will be my final perfect set
Perfect is not a word I would use to describe this set. It's a mediocre set at best. Will happily stick with the Dragon Boxes over these.

Re: Dragon Ball Z 4:3 Steelbooks

I find it interesting how the extremely vocal disdain for the 30th on this forum has suddenly shifted into acceptance and apathy. I guess Funimation has finally broken the will of the hardcores. At least there isn't anyone on here arguing that these are better than the Dragon Boxes like a certain ot...

It did. It was called Dragon Ball GT.

Weird. I dont agree about GT at all. It feels very much like Dragon Ball to me. Especially Toei's version of what Dragon Ball is.

Re: Super or GT poll

For me, the Dragon Ball story ended with GT. Everything else has just been bonus content for me. GT just feels more like a natural continuation of the Z anime. I just wish it had gone on for as long as Super did. Super feels like a standalone corporate product. It has some fun fights, but ultimately...

There is no improvement, these are the exact copies we got for the 30th set.
Oh I thought someone just posted a comparison that showed that the colors were different.

Re: Dragon Ball Z 4:3 Steelbooks

Honestly if I hadn't been spoiled by the Level sets and Dragon Boxes I would think these looked amazing. Alas, I can't look past the awful DVNR. To me its far too distracting to enjoy these despite the okay packaging. I have the same problem with the Green Bricks, and to an extent the Blue bricks......

Are you sure ? because on the box it says 16:9.
Yup box says 16x9 but that appears to be an error.

Re: Funimations 30th anniversary collectible home video release

They're pretty expensive.. $60 MSRP x 9 is $540. Even if you got em all half off, you're still paying $270, at that rate, you'd have still been better off buying the 30th set since you can sell the extras for a pretty penny. But the steelbooks are way better looking and safer for your discs than th...
