Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 51 - DBZ 65-69 (CURRENT WEEK)

With how "Questionable" Season 3's quality is, it still goes to show the strength DB still has. Even when stuck with a terrible dub, with arguably worse writing than a lot of others children's shows at the time, and even worse than Saban's previous diluted scripts, something about it was ...

Re: A potential 4K release of DBZ...

Second of all, the anime itself wouldn't really benefit from being in 4K in the first place. It was printed on small film, meaning that at a certain point you're not going to be getting any additional detail by scanning it in at a higher resolution. Only the movies would benefit from that because t...

Re: Your opinion about Dragon Ball AI Project (DBAI)

Yeah I can't say anything unique here. DB AI Project is hot flaming garbage and it should never be taken seriously. It's no better than the swill Funimation has pumped out onto shelves over the years. Also for your own sake don't get involved with the people that surround the project , and unironica...

Gine was cool for the novelty factor. I did like her female Saiyan armor design, and yes it was kinda cool to see Goku's mom. That's the only thing I like about DB Minus though :lol:

Oh boy Bardock Special time. This is the perfect opportunity to go on a pointless nerd rant over some Japanese cartoons. In all seriousness though. Of all the retcons Toriyama has done to DB over the years, the erasure of this special with DB Minus will be the most disappointing, aggravating, and an...

Re: Was DBGT canon during its original airing?

Back in '97 when it first aired? Yes it was. It was conceived, developed, and marketed as the direct anime-only continuation of DBZ. It is canon to the original anime timeline. Now this will be pure opinion and from me, so take it as you will. With BoG + Super in the mix. I do not think that's the c...

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 49 - DBZ episode 58-62 (CURRENT WEEK)

Funny Funi-ism In the original edited Funimation dub Vegeta refers to Bulma as a gorgeous girl, I’d say this is foreshadowing but considering this is the company that gave us “Your father was a brilliant scientist” and “General Tao was the heart of the Red Ribbon Army” I doubt anyone at Funimation ...

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 49 - DBZ episode 58-62 (CURRENT WEEK)

Agreed. Ginyu Force steal the show, and for such one-off characters to make such an impression is quite impressive. For the most part they strike a balance between being kind of goofy but still cold-blooded killers. This theme that was created for them for DB Kai is such a jam, even if the language ...

Re: Dubs shouldnt bend over backwards to please purists. Subs shouldnt plase Casuals

Some of the things people say about Super's dub, both here and elsewhere is a little exaggerated. This isn't nearly the kind of full on rewriting and inserting of terrible jokes and dialogue left, right and center that was done by script writers back in the days of Barry Watson and co running thing...

Re: Could a Roshi movie/special work or be fresh?

I dont think it would work. Roshi is a character that works in small doses and isn't interesting enough to be able to carry a story himself.

Re: Dragon Ball on MeTV's Kids Block? Yay or Nay?

On another note though, kinda sad to see MeTV act like the last bastion of classic cartoons on cable TV. Ever since Boomerang became Cartoon Network's dumping ground in 2015 it barely lives up to it's glory days. Like the only lick of classic cartoons you'll see on that channel any days is an hour l...

Re: Dragon Ball on MeTV's Kids Block? Yay or Nay?

......the shows they’re using were popular Saturday Morning cartoons from the 60s in the US. It’s meant to appeal to boomer nostalgia. Dragon Ball wouldn’t fit with that channel in any way. If there would be any sort of anime on that block we would probably see Speed Racer (Mach GoGoGo) and Astro B...

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 48 - DBZ movie 3 (CURRENT WEEK)

FUNimation’s in-house dub of this movie is pretty wonky. The best explanation I can come up with for why they used the TV dub’s script as the basis is that they wanted to try and set it apart from the Pioneer version. Anyway, as I believe I said in the Movie 2 thread, out of the first three DBZ mov...
