Re: Aspects of Dragon Ball that never cross your mind...

Where the Android saga would've gone had Toriyama's editors not decided that the Androids looked too stupid lol

British Comedian Bill Bailey promoting DB... Sorta :P

I noticed this forum has an interest in Dragonball popping up across the world, so I thought it might be pretty cool to show screenshots of the absolutely hilarious Bill Bailey on a recent episode of British quiz show QI, sporting a Dragonball T-shirt.

Re: In my opinion, the best-written part of Dragon Ball was...

Oddly enough I'd actually say the Android Saga. Purely because it is such a good example of a serial writer having to completely alter the direction of his story, and doing it so well. Everything is paced so well, with each twist coming off like it was planned (aside from one or two slight... "what ...

Re: Kai Episode 51 (4 April 2010)

I can see why they kept in some of the filler. On a personal level, I quite appreciate it, I was always fond of the Gohan filler against Freeza, it just boosted up his character even more in my eyes. Before I realised it was filler, I really liked the idea of him choosing to face Freeza on his own ...

I was under the impression Nadolny's take on Goku in GT was all wrong, since she indeed speaks like a child with an adult mindset.


Although this was more of a choice of the Director than the actress necessarily. I love Nadolny. Not a scratch on Nozawa, but I adored the voice she used for Goku in ...

I thought that too. When I first saw it, it stuck out like a (beautifully animated) sore thumb.

My initial impression was that the episode it was from had been directed by a guest animation director, it's common in modern anime to have someone of prolific talent come in for one episode or so, to do ...

Was Bulma's Seiyuu always this... Bland?

I remember people commenting in the first episode of Kai that her voice was emotionless despite her shouting about Yamcha. But here, it's just so dull. She's meant to be sobbing over the loss of her friends and yet sounds like she couldn't care less. Even ...

Possibly. Judging by the Eye-catchers, they regularly change depending on where we are in the arc. I can imagine that the Title card will change when they either arrive on Namek, or things get really busy on the planet. Because at the moment, it's all very space-focused, with the namekian ship to ...

It's a nightmare Goku has when he's recovering from his heart disease. I don't remember exactly what episode it's in. It is pretty "dark", but that's the point. I think it was one of the better moments in the series but I wouldn't call it the "best DBZ scene ever."

Yeah, that's just because it's ...

Personally, the more video I see, the happier I am. So I love that the movies are in 4:3, I don't give a damn what the director aimed for in 1990, or how it was intended. I enjoy the full footage.

And as thus, I'm not a fan of the show being cropped. But I can't say it's a big bother to me. It ...

I disagree to some extent on your term "selfish". He fights for more legitimate self-interested needs, but isn't necessarily selfish. Selfish has nothing but negative connotations.

However, yes, FUNimation basically made Goku into a lot more of a hero figure, who fights on the side of justice ...

Indeed, because that was in the manga. So just like in Toriyama's original story, Lunch vanishes with a mention.

Strange about Gohan's suit, could anyone shed anymore light on this? On the live stream, this looked like a really enjoyable episode, though I missed the preview, so I didn't get to see what happens next episode.

And stuff like Piccolo and Kuririn splitting into three people to fight Nappa.

I wouldn't call that significant filler though. Aw hell, now we're just getting into semantics.

The next obvious filler that'll be absent will, yeah, be Nappa VS Military as well as Piccolo&Krillin's 3-way split ...

I didn't say anything about not being allowed to express our opinions. I only said that I choose not to, but that doesn't mean that I don't have one.

Another (separate) point being made was that Kai is in no trouble of being canceled because the ratings are great!

However, it seems that some ...

The Saiyan arc had better pacing because they focussed most of the filler in the Saiyan saga on throwaway filler eps that you can just ignore should you so choose. They didn't stretch out canon material for it. Like, if I wanted to I could watch a much better version of the Saiyan Saga right now ...
