Kanzenshuu

I own mostly manga: 42 Dragon Ball volumes and Neko Majin. In Japanese: 34 kanzenban volumes Neko Majin Forever, Landmark, TV Anime Guide: Dragon Ball Z Son Goku Densetsu Jaco the Galactic Patrolman For Super I have moved to digital volumes (there really is no space on my bookshelf). I own the Engli...

DB - Kamesennin randomly grabbing women could use some redrawing. Weird old man gags can be handled in some other way, and even Dr. Slump had redrawn art for some problematic parts, that weren't even that funny to begin with. DBZ - If there would be one thing, more technique-based fighting would mak...

Fan art is generally allowed in the manga world to certain extent (for example Comiket wouldn't really be possible if doujinshi based on the existing series would be banned). It keeps the fans happy, and doesn't do that much harm since for example a porn parody generally isn't sold by the same numbe...

Finland Manga The first four volumes of Dragon Ball manga were published in April, 2003, by Kustannus oy Kolibri. It was published in a Westernized left-to-right format. But by mid-May they were taken off the shelves because of a pedophilia scandal regarding the childish nudity of Goku and Bulma, a...

I guess the ground work for the changing clothes had already been established by the fusion forms at the end of Z. Building on top of those, I guess the magical pants seemed logical.

And today we have the changing hair colors in Super. I'm not sure if I prefer that

Dragon Ball is big and old enough that it should be public domain. That is a very, very weird statement, especially when the original creator is still alive. If I would create an internationally successful property, I would be throughly pissed if some external entity decided that they can do whatev...

I think I was about 14 and the manga volume 27 hadn't yet come out in my native language. I had seen a couple of DBZ episodes from the TV and some films on Youtube in 240p or less, and I had got it into my head that Goku's first Super Saiyajin transformation is this kind of a theatrical shockwave of...

As previously said, Jaco the Galactic Patrolman is the spin off that Toriyama created already. It is quite okay, but not at DB's level. What I'm wondering a bit is why Toriyama would even need to create a spin-off. I do not know if he had any grand creative ambitions left after Dragon Ball. He had d...

Movie? No, especially with not Dragon Ball not having an established U.S. film franchise (one-off Evolution just doesn't cut it…) An anime/animation special? Mayyybe… It is cheaper to make, but the series belong to companies on the other sides of Pacific with established and different animation indu...

Glad to have been of help! The service is not perfect, but it works

I do not have experience with any other services so it was not the most well-rounded answer. I think at least eBookJapan has been locked behind a yahoo.co.jp account (for which you need a Japanese phone number).

I use Bookwalker almost daily. They have a Japanese store and a Global store, but the catch is that the same account works on both stores. They even have instructions how to buy from the JP store. There are both mobile and desktop apps for PC, Mac, iOS and Android. Good points: They have more free m...

Two Weekly Shōnen Jumps from the 80s! https://i.imgur.com/uSwXthw.jpg 週刊少年ジャンプ 1984 No. 8 & 1985 No. 19 DB pages: https://i.imgur.com/2xHeCuv.jpg https://i.imgur.com/5nPLkO5.jpg https://i.imgur.com/AwBX0KJ.jpg Wonderful pages, and a differing coloration from the Kanzenban!

Vegeta is taking the opposite approach from Goku, as he did with his Super Saiyan transformation. He will probably not achieve Goku’s strength (I guess that is impssible at this point), but he might become quite strong indeed. The God of Destruction role seems like it was made for him. (Now I’m thin...

I had noticed Toriyama’s tendency to keep the action on one page at a time, but only seven double spreads in fourteen years? :D That’s something. I’ve been wondering if this was a safe-guard on Jump (or international publishers) switching a starting page and throwing the spreads out of whack at some...

Once Piccolo’s full appearance is revealed (and he declares himself as Piccolo Daimaou) at 23rd Budokai, all the spectators run away in total panic. But that the fact that they later forget? Who knows... _{Well Toriyama knows, but he could’ve very well forgotten.}

The latest chapter is pretty nice! Good motives and Granola’s eye promises interesting fights.

The only thing I’m wondering, is the Saiyan Oozaru in Granola’s flashback Bardock? The ape has about the same scar as him. That might bring about a feud or two with Goku later on

I took a cursory check on the manga volumes, and I at least didn’t notice any television cameras until the 25th tournament, on which a TV presenter is chatting with the participants, and Piccolo even specifically destroys all the cameras. The radio at the hospital during the 22nd Budokai could be ju...

I’m wondering if the people ’forgetting’ ki attacks could be because Tenkaichi Budokai doesn’t seem to be a big media event before Mr. Satan wins. Are the earlier tournaments even televised? It seems like a place only hardcore fans, practitioners or random soldiers of fortune would gather. Satan see...

Goku has almost every page of original Dragon Ball to display his cuteness. Upa is another strong contender from the boys’ side. Girls... probably Suno or Videl. In the end, I’m debating between Upa and Goku, since Suno and Videl have a more limited screen time.
