Re: Losing interest in Dragon Ball
I too thought this thread was going to be about losing some love for Dragon Ball as you grew up and noticed more of its flaws; or maybe something about how now that Toriyama's gone, any new Dragon Ball content seems even more unneeded than it already was. But instead it's a thread announcing that yo...

Re: Would a complete DBZ English redub be necessary?
Even if there hypothetically were to be a full English redub (it won't happen), those name romanizations are not the way to go about it. If you're basing them off of the English spellings in the show, then it feels arbitrary to use something like Piccoro instead of Piccolo, yet not use Kulilin inste...

Re: What's the video source for DBZ on BD from Kazé in Germany? Anyone has screen captures of SV and DBZ 30A BD releases
I'm fairly certain it isn't 30A footage, since there's no fake grain over the footage from what I can see, also it doesn't look like it. I'm not too familiar with the Selecta Vision upscale, so it could just be that, but even if it's a new upscale entirely, it doesn't look particularly worthwhile.

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)
I'm starting to wonder if Daima will be released all at once or release weekly. We know there will be a Fuji TV airing, but that doesn't discount it from getting a batch release on streaming. I'm hoping it's weekly since that builds discussion and hype, also it's easier to keep up that way. I still ...

Re: DRAGON BALL Z in 4K60fps with FRAME INTERPOLATION
It'd probably be best to just post a one minute clip or something, since posting a full episode does count as piracy. Also I don't think most people are willing to download a 17gb file without knowing how good it looks first.

Re: DRAGON BALL Z in 4K60fps with FRAME INTERPOLATION
I'll be honest, I really, highly doubt your upscale looks any good at all, especially with interpolation, and I imagine a lot of the members of this forum feel the same way. Though, that's not to say you can't upscale the series for your own viewing pleasure, just that there's almost certainly going...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 103 - Official Discussion Thread
I don't know if this really needs to be spoilered, but since the chapter isn't officially out, might as well be safe. I've seen a lot of controversy on Twitter and other sites about Goku forgetting Pan and I'm really conflicted on the whole thing. If it is just a pun about Pan's name meaning 'bread'...

Re: (Fan)-Colored Manga
There is no fan-colored version of the manga, you could probably find some fan-colored panels or pages, but that's it, no random fan would waste their time coloring 42 volumes of manga for no profit. Officially, however, there is indeed a fully colored version of the manga, it was licensed by Viz, a...

Re: TOEI's HD upconvert of Dragon Ball?
If this is actually real, then I'm betting it's just going to be an upscale. Toei's Sailor Moon Blu-Rays were also upscaled despite them presumably still having the original 16mm film, so I don't see why it would be any different for Dragon Ball.

Re: AB Video to release OG Dragon Ball on Blu-Ray
If you don't want the Japanese voice acting, what exactly do you want from the broadcast audio that your preferred dub doesn't already have? Music? Sound effects? The only reason the broadcast audio is coveted is because it's such a higher quality version of specifically the Japanese performances. ...

Frankly, out of all the details that were part of the Dragon Ball Magic "leak", I did not expect the "being turned into a child" aspect to actually be true, especially not applied to (presumably) most of the characters. I don't particularly like the idea in theory, but I'm cautio...

Re: Dragon Ball Magic? *RUMOR*
It's certainly an interesting concept for a show, especially with the GT aspects of turning Goku back into a kid, but it's kind of hard to buy into any rumor of a new Dragon Ball series after the numerous times the predictions turned out to be wrong. Also, Dragon Ball Magic doesn't sound like a titl...

He's boring. Goes from crybaby to badass to nerd. His hair looks dumb and his face got a awful change. Saiyaman is cringe toddler fantasy. Nice low-level bait, anyways, I also find several things weird with this, like his hair and his face, Gohan's hair has barely changed since the cell arc, unless...

Re: "Zenkai" - 全開 or 全快? (Also, questions on origins of the term in Western fandom)
Sorry to bring back this discussion, but I noticed that Goku uses the word 全快 on page 13 of chapter 283, when he shows to know that Vegeta's power increased after almost dying and recovering. Goku's sentence is: 死にかけて全快してから力がグンと増えたはずだ This is the translation from viz. https://i.imgur.com/79sBKGa.pn...
