Re: AB vidéo has given up on continuing their Dragon Ball releases on Blu Ray

Damn it. At least we got the first 68 episodes from them before this happened. I can only hope that Toei or Funimation will eventually do a native HD scan of the original 16mm film for the series at this point. It's a real shame that the best release we have for the first series is an unfinished ...

Re: Series character designer Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru says a Dragon Ball remake is possible

I remember the first time I watched Dragon Ball. It was specifically the first series, and I was watching it dubbed on some awful, now-defunct pirate site. I greatly enjoyed the first fifty episodes, and I still possess some fondness for the original Funimation dub of Dragon Ball despite its ...

Re: Was it a mistake to continue after the manga ended ?

This is a very simple question. If you like GT/Super/Daima, then it wasn't a mistake. If you don't, it was a mistake. No one will be able to come to an "objective" conclusion here. If we're only taking into account the artistic value and not the financial value, then there will be no clear answer ...

I think the green tint looks better. If that makes me the object of mockery by nostalgic people, so be it.


I have been a Dragon Ball for many, many years, and this is the first time I've ever seen someone say that Boo Kai's green tint is an improvement. So, uh, kudos to you for having such an ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima: Episode 20 - Official Discussion Thread

After weeks of putting it off, I finally decided to actually watch through all of Daima just in time for the finale, and what an average finale it was. The animation was great as per usual (that shot of the Kamehameha breaking through the magilite was particularly spectacular), and some of the gags ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima JRPG?

That'd honestly be amazing to see. I'm not sure if Daima would be the best choice for a JRPG yet; these first two episodes haven't really given off a "playable" vibe or whatever. But I would love to see a Dragon Ball JRPG again, especially a turn-based one, we haven't gotten one of those since... I ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Daima" Crunchyroll Home Release Thread

If Daima ends up having an untypical length like 20 episodes instead of the average 24 - 26, then I could see Crunchyroll not bothering to do their usual "parts" home media releases and instead just doing a full season Blu-Ray.

Re: Will Steve Simmons return to sub Daima?


Well, Toei's "dub names must be in subs" mandate only applies to character names and it has not been extended to attack names, which is why Simmons's subs of Broly and Super Hero use the original Japanese attack names instead of the Funimation names. But what if Toei mandates the use of dub names ...

Re: Will Steve Simmons return to sub Daima?

Are you sure Steven Simmons didn't do the subtitles for Broly and Super Hero? According to ANN , he did the subtitles for those two films. I'm inclined to believe them since I don't recall the subs for Broly or Super Hero reading as stiffly as Toei's in-house subtitles usually do. They do use dub ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima: Episode 1 - Official Discussion Thread

Even if Kibito and Shin do fuse again, why wouldn't they just go back into Boo to unfuse? It seems strange that they'd use a valuable wish on the Dragon Balls for something they could do easily enough with Boo. That's the main problem I have with it. I'm guessing the writers will just say something ...

I don't think most people on Kanzenshuu care for something like this, so you're probably not going to get too many 'Yes' answers.

I'm pretty sure Nadolny said the reason for her losing her roles was because of a bad breakup with a higher-up at Funi, which makes me doubt she'd ever be able to return. Maybe the Crunchyroll buyout and takeover had some staff restructuring and that higher-up left? I also read something about her ...
