SSJ2 Goku vs. Kid Buu is a great piece of animation.

If actors ever start opting in to AI generated vocals for official projects and get residuals for it, it wouldn't really matter what any of us think. I could also see this technology reaching a point where specific voices could be layered on top of real performances recorded by people experienced in ...

Good riddance.

I would go see them all again if there were subtitled screenings, it's bullshit that they didn't have them before.

Why would they bother? The truth is that Kai is an obscure footnote in the franchise's history. For all of its positive attributes, it's poorly received by most of the western fandom and would likely just confuse anyone streaming the various Dragon Ball series for the first time. I've heard Kai was ...

For what it's worth, at my local theater the dubbed RPX showing for August 18th had as many as 55 seats reserved (could have exceeded that, I can't see the seating chart any longer), seems pretty good for higher ticket prices in a small area! However, the standard subtitled screening barely had any ...

I also think Romi Park would be excellent in the role of Goku, though somehow Gohan and Goten might be tougher for her. I'm open to multiple performers stepping up for all three.

I seriously hope they don't revert to doing fake widescreen again for future releases. There's already been two in that cropped format and it took them a while to come around to doing another 4:3 version after the Level sets came and went in 2011/2012.

I think 16:9 DBZ is a thing of the past, 4 ...

I would rather contribute to a Kickstarter for a better home release of Z.

Aside from that, standards change over time. Just because we were ok with square pictures back when we had SD TVs and some people are still ok with that, doesn't mean most people are ok with watching a show that has huge black bars on both sides of the image, effectively not using a 4th (or more ...

So, as everyone knows, Saban cut it's syndication part to focus on Fox Kids, meaning that DBZ was halted, later, it found it's home on CN, and the rest is history, however, how different would the show be if Saban still kept the show on Syndication/ Moved it to Fox Kids , how they would have ...

Nah. If the Ghibli english dubs prove anything, it's that successful actors talents do not always translate into voice acting. It is a different beast altogether. With the exception of Spirited Away, most of the Ghibli Dubs are mediocre.

Not to get too off-topic, but what makes you think so ...

In hindsight, it's interesting to hear these dubs feature both Sauza with a foreign English accent and Cooler with voice modulation, albeit throughout the films instead of just in certain forms. Could be a coincidence, but it makes me wonder if Funimation ever got a hold of these back in the day? I ...

Since the Levels came out, I've almost always purchased Funimation Dragon Ball releases used. I've purchased other series and movies released by them here and there from Right Stuf, but not much.

The complaints I've seen are that it's too prententious for a shonen and that most of its villains/arcs are recycled from other works which, imo, are fair criticisms. Personally I love how navel gazy HxH is. Reading it, I really got the impression that Togashi is trying to work out his own feelings ...

Toriyama (or his editor at the time) already got cold feet with Gohan once, and I see no evidence of anything like that ever being tried again. As someone upthread mentioned, there's just no discernible interest in that type of direction for the character.


I know a lot of DB fans have mean things ...

The Ocean dub of Kai will finally come out.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I have massive reservations about live-action adaptations of anything because the crews involved tend to have absolutely no understanding of traditional animation or the techniques it employs. They don't even attempt to pay homage to any of that in any kind ...

Meanwhile Avatar TLAB is getting a good looking 15th anniversary steelbook set.


Hopefully, they remastered the series because they could use an upgrade over the old Blu-rays.
