Kanzenshuu

The Saiyaman stuff, his Next World training with the Elder Kaioshin and the Z-Sword among others had some potential but then his character arc pretty much petered out after that point.

I still don't see any of this as his character arc petering out. The culmination of Gohan's throughline in ...

It really feels to me as though Toriyama didn't fully think through the long term ramifications of the "passing the torch" aspect of trying to succeed Goku with Gohan in the Cell arc, and then come the Buu arc after trying to make him have a meaningful role more or less fumbled then he effectively ...

I think it's odd (and kinda funny) in retrospect nearly 20 years later how FUNimation had only went so far with the partial re dub for the orange bricks. While the preceding re dub a few years earlier made sense for the first 67 episodes for the UUE broadcast (and sadly canceled DVD release) which ...

The Funimation dub did add a bit about Yamcha taking another girl on a date instead of Bulma’s vague “Yamcha sucks we’re through” bit in the manga and Japanese anime. That might have informed fan’s perspective on Yamcha having a precedent for cheating (although iirc the dub insinuated Bulma blew ...

No, he did not.
What did happen was Bulma getting increasingly jealous of other women giving him the slightest bit of attention and accusing him of infidelity, even though she happily kept fawning over other men like Jackie Chun, Blue, and Adult Goku.

Well...my absence from the site has now finally ended as of today. For some reason my account had been inaccessible since the middle of last year after i'd last posted and i finally went ahead and reset my password thus things are all good again. So, i decided for the first post back i'd do an ...

Well, it's a good thing we have fans out there (SOM.etc) who have filled the gap and provided the best available fan restored version of the original three DB series. Much the same as those passionate Star Wars fans and groups producing the highest quality possible of the unaltered versions of the ...

As for me personally, a lot of the stuff i have on physical media (and in Dragon Ball's case, the OG anime run of shows, movies, specials.etc and what i do have of the modern DB material) is because a vast majority of the things i like in terms of favorite shows and films isn't readily available on ...

Yes, it was basically said that the reason why FUNimation transitioned to in house dubbing back in 1998/1999 after the syndicated Z broadcast run ended (right at the point where Goku's fight with the Ginyu Force started) was due to them wanting to do things more cheaply that continuing to outsource ...

Resurrecting this thread after about two months to show off my latest Dragon Ball gets to ring in the new year, both of which are manga acquisitions this time around. I got Dragon Ball VizBig Volume 4 and Dragon Ball Super Volume 20 (They didn't have 19 which was the next one in line that i need) at ...

I mean, repetitiveness aside, is it that big a stretch?

Well, no, aside from both stories having a lot of the same things happening "for the first time", and thus being incompatible as is, it's not that big of a stretch.

To be clear I'm not saying that the incompatibility is a huge deal ...

Good on them for sticking to their guns and refusing to put out Selecta Vision's substandard Dragon Box upscale, as this shows they actually care about doing a release properly and not just folding to Toei's blind, out of touch demands as other companies releasing the series likely would.

Man, this makes me feel old. I can remember when video stores (Blockbuster, Movie Gallery.etc) were still a thing in the late '90s/early 2000's and big box stores like Wal-Mart, Kmart (RIP) Target and others still sold VHS copies of movies. It's surprising to see now about 20 years after VHS went ...

Well, just saw this a bit ago myself and thought it was a decent introduction for this series made to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the franchise (as we're only a month from the exact 40th of when the manga premiered in Weekly Shonen Jump back in 1984) and when comparing to previous first ...

I'd get the GT singles if there was a good deal on them, I bought most of the Z singles so may as well.

I have the UK green bricks though and happy enough with them. The singles don't look that much different, all things considered:

Well, we actually did kinda technically get the GT Dragon Box over here in the form of FUNi's original single discs/box sets, as the video source for those were more or less ported from an intermediate set of masters from before they had underwent the clean up process Pony Canyon did for the ...

I think it's such a surprise that they've brought Nadolny back to voice Goku again in this new series, given whatever had apparently went down back in 2009/2010 between her and the higher ups at FUNimation that led to her not being the voice of young Goku and Gohan any longer from Kai (and video ...

We know Tiffany Vollmer left FUNimation altogether and moved to a different state, and that Linda Young apparently wasn’t able to keep up with the more fast-paced dialogue they gave Freeza, but in the case of Nadolny, all we have to this day is speculation. Some people think it’s because of ...
