When I was in Japan, pretty much everywhere in Tokyo's Akihabara (probably spelt wrong, but it's alternatively known as Nerd Town ;P) sold Dragon Ball merch. In fact, one of my enduring memories of my entire travelling around Japan experience was seeing Goku's mug a lot more than I expected - you w...

Mandarake in Nakano, Tokyo is very good. You can pick up kanzenban and tankoubon for very cheap, and even find most of the Dragon Boxes. Then they've got all sorts of figures, including those One Piece X DB and DB Creatures figures. Lot's of cool stuff. And some creepy stuff too... Sweet, I'll chec...

Japan Trip

I will be going to Japan soon with a friend. I will be in Kyoto for a couple of days then go to Tokyo for like ten days. You guys have any recommendations on stores or whatnot to check out in Tokyo that is Dragonball related? Even if it isn't any sort of suggestion would be great. I hope this is the...

Movie 12 : Fusion Reborn

I am really confused. When does this take place? After Vegeta blows up, and after SSJ3 Goku fights fat Buu right? Well where is he in this movie? If this is after his death then why isn't Mr. Satan with Fat Buu or why is he not mentioned? Why is Vegeta unwilling to fuse, and why don't they mention p...

To be honest I like the new box art much better because the one here is very cartoony and too colorful. This one is nice, simple and cool looking! Hopefully its fully uncut, no holding back.

Hey Kenisu3000 i appreciate and respect your opinon. I recently got a change to watch the episode where Pikkon and the big blonde haired guy fight in the tournament in Japanese with no subtitles whatsoever. You were right it does sound like something from the 70s, although it reminded of something o...

And when comparing this scene you mention with the original japanese version of it, it's hard to agree with the statement above. I agree. I've watched both. I wanted to rip my ears out when I heard the BGM (as well as all the unecessary, crappy dialogue) compared to the Japanese (especially at Goha...

Haha ya well i see I'm the one of the few here who likes Faulconer. The reason i guess i like is work is that i grew up with that version of DBZ and never actually had a chance to experience any other dubs or even the original. :wink: Oh and i know i sound like a broken record but i have to ask this...

Thanks for your opinion guys, i truly appreciate it. Oh and "VegettoEX" I was wondering if you were going to have maybe a podcast where you have live music reviews that covers all the way from Original music to Faulconers? I (and my cast-mates) really don't have enough interest in Faulcon...

Where do I tell you to not talk about Bruce Faulconer? You're totally making things up, now. I completely dislike that style of music, and I have zero-interest in watching the dub, nevermind throwing myself into its music. Why is this such a problem for dub fans? I don't care that it exists, and I ...

Re: Bruce Faulconer vs. the rest...

Personally, I like Faulconer's stuff. There's a lot that seems innapropriate for the moment or just doesn't fit, but, oh well, what ya gonna do? Music wise, it's still pretty good. All I know is that duing the Kid Buu saga (dub), when Goku jumps up to SSj3 and the music was playing, I just knew the...

Bruce Faulconer vs. the rest...

First of all let me start by saying i understand no one here really likes the dubbed music but please hear me out. Or at least make me understand, why is the original music better? Maybe give me some recommendations. Personally, I think Falcouner puts a lot of emotion into all of his songs...boy do ...

Superman is NOT a nerd. Are you kidding me? Writing for a newspaper does not make you a nerd. It's quite obvious the first person almost anyone thinks of as a nerd disguised as a superhero is Spider-man! But ya, don't mean to make this into a big argument, just sharing my findings, that's all. :)

Maybe it has something to do with me not listening to any of the Japanese soundtrack but man I love Faulconer's work. He puts so much emotion in every scene of every episode. It really makes me feel for the characters. So as you can tell I love all of his work. Some being : Pikkon's theme, SSJ3 Asen...

Clever Spiderman reference in DBZ...

If you watch "Gohan Goes To High School" Episode 185 where Videl, Gohan and Videl's friend are talking about the golden figher and all of a suden Sharpner says "...who in the world has heard of a little book nerd secretly being a super hero?" I found this very interesting. Whethe...
