Re: I've been thinking and honestly One Piece seems superior to Dragon Ball?
I mean if you like it better thats fine, but they seem a bit different to me to compare like that. one piece is a detailed drawing of a novel series at this point telling the tale of how luffy becomes king. db is a comedy action series that while it has some adventures isnt a grand epic like one pie...

Re: I've been thinking and honestly One Piece seems superior to Dragon Ball?
You know how unnatural the fight between Freeza and Goku was in Z ? imagine that applied to every fight and every moment in One Piece. Thats why i stopped one piece after the white beard vs marine war thing in the anime. I tried switching to the manga but its really not any better. it has a lot of ...

What version/release of DB/Z have the most accurate colors?
The dragon boxes have tint to them, as do the selectavision from what I've been able to see so those are out. Funi's [color] dbz bricks all have that washed out/bleached look. their blue DB bricks have other weird color issues too. The level sets crush blacks. The madman/funi single vhs/dvds(and UUE...

Re: Boycotting DB related company - did you do it?
It's not Funimation it's Sony that caused that anime to get cancelled since they own Funi now and I know a guy behind the scenes. Sony is crazy with censoring I mean look at their Betamax days. Or look at how they're dealing with mature content in their games. They allow explicit content and nudity...

Re: Do you actually believe that we are currently in some second Dragon Ball golden age?
I mean... kinda? Yes I know that golden age generally refers to its first big popularity boom(which even the dates of that could be VERY heavily discussed). But I dont know if DB has ever been quite this big in terms of numbers of fans. There all us ancient weebs who watched the ocean dub, toonami, ...

Re: If we get another home release, it needs to be in 4K "UHD"
But also ... physical media are slowly dying. it REALLY isnt. Its shrinking yes, but no where near dying. its still healthier than laserdisc was in japan, and laserdisc was very much profitable there. I cant see it even doing that in the next 20 years if studios actually are serious about pushing 8...

Re: If we get another home release, it needs to be in 4K "UHD"
Ideally id love that. iirc 16mm tops out at just under 4k worth of detail. So a full 4k release of db-gt would be the end all be all if done properly

Re: Is being attracted to a Dragon Ball character considered weird?
Characters are designed to be appealing in one way or another. There are many aspects of a character that some find conventionally attractive. Others may find different details they like that may not suit the “norm.” So to answer the thread’s main question, yeah. Maybe it’s weird to some. But we’re...

Re: Craziest Dragon Ball-related opinions, rumours, etc.
But any suggestion that there was any kind of sudden shift in the seriousness of the show/manga, its characters, its writing, etc. that happened in the Saiyan arc is really nonsense. The Saiyan arc played with some stuff the show hadn't done before -- we saw the afterlife, we had much more extensiv...

Re: Craziest Dragon Ball-related opinions, rumours, etc.
It's not an exaggeration. Plenty of people think it's a superhero story. In the early 2000s sure but not so much anymore. Even back then a good chunk of people didnt see it as a justice league like super hero show. Probably partially because other than the saiyans and krillin everyone was knock dow...

I doubt it, aside from them being co-students at the crain dojo and becoming best bros there, chiaotzu looks way too much like a kid. Like i get hes old technically, and based off of those weird doll things but he looks 11. Heck hes smaller than gohan at age 11. Thats just.... i dunno old people wit...

Honestly its a pretty ok and nostalgic dub, especially the title and break cards. honestly the only part I'm not fond of with it is krilin's voice.

Re: State of the Dragon Ball/Dragon Ball Z Broadcast Audio?
Regardless of what a handful of us here have access to. It needs to be on an official home release, and we shouldn't be satisfied until it is. Agreed. Though I also still wouldn't be satisfied unless there's none of Funi's shitty DNR or cropping either. Many of us would agree with you, I'm sure. I ...
