As Robo (An awesome member of the forum that hasnt been banned but just stopped posting altogether) once said Funimation is SHITTY at coming up with natural dialogue that sounds good. It's always people talking too fast and without any naturalism in acting or scriptwriting. And he thinks this about...

Speaking as someone who exclusively watches everything in the franchise in its original Japanese and hasn't touched the FUNimation dub in well over 15 years since I first tried out the Japanese version and realized how much better it is (despite being 14 at the time and having up to that point exclu...

I got 22/30, it's definitely a fun quiz, most Dragon Ball quizzes are either way too boring, or just have false info lol, and the ones that are a bit harder are just kinda like Arbitrary Number based, rather then like, actual useful knowledge about this series, and I think yours was mostly like, pr...

Out of the five Kaiô and five Kaiôshin shown in Dragon Ball Z, how many were depicted in the manga? It should be four: Kaio of North, Kaio of South, Kaioshin of East and Dai Kaioshin. I guess you're counting Old Kaioshin as well, but he isn't a different one if we take one tidbit about him into con...

Damn, I even managed to stump a longtime member like you on that many? I'm starting to think I might have created a monster lol (But even then, you're still one of the top scorers by far )

Yeah but Super and GT aren't really compatible imo and I like Super more so I'm picking that as the canon one. Super and GT are both separately compatible with DB and Z/Kai. And quite a bit of filler in DB and Z/Kai isn't compatible with the rest of the story, and the movies especially we all know ...

as a fan of ONLY the Japanese version, all terms and names in my quiz are based on it > starts the quiz > sees that the second question is about English VAs > shakes head > closes quiz Then you VERY much misjudged me, and WAY too quickly. Play the whole thing, you might be surprised lol Also, I set...

I don't think it creates a "new canon" unless you want it to. I personally choose to view DB's canon as whatever Toriyama was most involved in, so mine goes: DB manga (all of DB and Z) -> Battle of Gods movie -> Resurrection F movie -> Super anime starting at U6 tournament -> Broly movie ...

Like I said, I tried to make it as challenging as I possibly could lol I can see the number of people and the average results on my end, and the highest anyone else scored so far was 21/30, and even then, that was only two people out of the 16 plays that weren't me total. Three got between 15 and 17...

After hunting high and low across Ye Olde Interwebs a few weeks ago to ascertain if there existed a quiz about Dragon Ball that was 1) well made, and 2) more than just super easy, general knowledge about the series itself and going through dozens that were too easy and/or poorly written and/or fille...

That would definitely make sense, considering Funimation's EXTREME over-emphasis on Z over every single other part of the franchise has been so highlighted and prevalent over the last almost 27 years that even Tōei, which normally doesn't pay all that much attention to its properties outside of its ...

I always wondered... what was the reason that Tōei decided to call Dragon Ball Kai Dragon Ball Kai despite it strictly being a "remake"/refresh of the Z anime that skips past the entirety of Dragon Ball, and yet they instructed Funimation (and I'm assuming every other international distrib...

Them going to Heaven is an interesting theory that makes sense, but it's still kind of weird to think that they would want to go there instead of stay in the Kaiōshin Realm (which again, as the Old Kaiōshin proved, they can stay in after they die), considering Kibito made such a HUUUGE deal out of &...

I guess we'll either just never truly know, or perhaps one day Toriyama will come out with another little mini-interview published in Saikyō Jump/V Jump/another reprinting of the manga/another guidebook with an answer. Though considering the content of some of his previous answers of that nature (Bo...

The idea that the deceased are unable to die again is anime only. Admittedly, it makes perfect sense and is a much more intuitive conclusion than what Toriyama presented later, I'd go as far as to say that if he hadn't estabilished his own rule about the dead dying again, most of the fans would bel...

Majin Boo most likely killed them again after they died, making them disappear forever That's an interesting theory and one of the only few that might make any sort of sense, but it does still present another problem, one that I alluded to when I mentioned "how, when, and why the deceased are ...

I was having a discussion with a friend the other day about how WILDLY inconsistent and contradictory the "rules" of the Other World were in ALL FOUR anime series, meaning DB, DBZ, DBGT, and DBS (because Tōei just could never get their shit together I guess lol), in particular when it come...

Has Steve ever said anything one way or another about why he chose to use "Yama" over "Enma" in his subtitles for Funimation's DBZ DVDs? I know that Yama is the Chinese name for him, and that he originally stems from Buddhist afterlife beliefs that aren't strictly Japanese OR Chi...
