Re: Dragonball Z: Saiyan Saga - Help make this happen!

I saw the trailer last week and thought, for what it was, it was fun. Certainly, a lot of people I knew thought it was great for a fan film (that seems to be the twitter consensus). As for the good points, there are two massive ones 1. The use of actors from diverse backgrounds. Its a shame there ha...

Re: How I think the Cell saga should have ended

I think over all this is a bit of a 'dark = better' idea. My main problem, though, is the mind set of why the Z fighters would choose to stay dead. Goku realises that his presence actually threatens the world, and that the other-world provides the excitement and challenges he craves in life. It is d...

Re: Did Dragonball go downhill when it became DBZ?

I'd disagree that the show stopped being surprising and was stale by the Buu arc. I think the Buu arc is the most unpredictable arc of the whole series. Vegeta going back to his old ways was, I thought, a big shocking twist and was very well handled. The fusion story with Goten and Trunks was really...

It's Blade Runner music isn't it?

Re: Funimation's Top 10 Dragon Ball Z Moments

I think number 1 will be Vegeta acknowledging Goku as number 1 and the defeat of Buu.

Re: GT or Kai - Which is bigger dissapointment?

For me, the only real disappointment of Kai was that it was cancelled. The show itself cannot be judged on that, in my opinion. Yes some of the redrawn scenes were sketchy, but you have to acknowledge that these were done mostly make sure cut material didn't effect continuity. It's not a major part ...

Re: Does anybody here remember Made From Goats?

This site reminds me of why I was never friends with many other anime fans. From a quick glance, they seem to criticise everything that is good about Dragonball. Their criticisms often completely miss the point of the show and don't seem to even pay attention to the plot (Goku gives Cell the Senzu b...

Re: What's your most recent Dragonball purchase?

Why would someone buy a damaged set? Can't you just give it back to the store? You are just ripping someone off. :? Yes, this seems an odd definition of 'ripping off'. I'm sure he is offering it with a significant discount. Some people (me included) are principally concerned with the content itself...

Re: So Apparently the Local Video Store I Go To

Ha ha, love how you added the AIM conversation as 'proof' despite there being no evidence of it anyway... On an unrelated note, the Dragon Ball Z blu Rays are changing the audio so Piccolo is called 'Big Green'. Don't believe me? I just had a phone convo with the head of funimation and he said it's ...

Re: DragonBall AF: The Prank (Revealed)

The reason as to why a lot of my fellow countrymen had been believing the AF series to be real for so long can branch out to become many reasons. Although I could explain as too why it probably spread about as it did, will lead to race sadly. everything in our country eventually leads to race, but ...

Re: DBZ Coming to the UK? (Manga Ent. Says "NO!")

I noticed the same thing with Brotherhood.... I just figured that they couldn't be bothered altering the region codes or something. And I thought the first Brotherhood was meant to be A+B... why the heck did my copy show up as requiring Region A? :? Also, the UK DVDs are meant to be more expensive?...

Re: DBZ Coming to the UK? (Manga Ent. Says "NO!")

The Manga twitter account does have the worst attitude going, constantly blaming fans for not being patient enough to wait for years and years for content that is often flawed/over-priced. They asked on twitter whether people would rather have FullMetal Alcehmist Brotherhood on Blu Ray or DVD, and w...

My top ten moments. 10. Piccolo killing Raditz and Goku in one shot/Goku's death. 9. Tinshinhan's death in the Sayajin saga. 8. Gohan lets rip at Frieza after Kuririn gets gored. Of special not is his ki-blast punch to the face. 7. Ressurection of Kuririn following Frieza saga. 6. Kamehameha vs. Gar...
