Re: Where Dragon Ball should have ended?

I just finished watching the entirety of DBZ and honestly, it should have ended at Cell. The Buu arc is an actual joke and definitely feels like the show was losing steam. Cell wrapped everything up so nicely: Goku realizing he's better off dead to keep villains away, his son taking up the mantle of...

Re: What do you think Dragon Ball RoF mistakes are?

Honestly, my biggest gripe with the film is that they didn't let Vegeta finish off Freeza. That would have been such an amazing character moment that would have finally given him his revenge for what Freeza did to his people. It would have paid off years of anticipation for that kind of match up.

Request: Need some confirmation on Orange brick-related releases

Hey there! I'm on a mission to collect various alternative releases of Orange brick footage (it's a guilty pleasure) and I need some confirmation as to if these releases were actually released or not. Here's what I'm looking for: Orange brick 2-packs: DBZ Seasons 5 & 6 DBZ Seasons 7 & 8 Funi...

Re: Oh god DISNEY+ is Adding Dragon Ball Evolution

Has this been officially confirmed anywhere? I understand Disney has the rights to it now and it makes sense that they would put it on Disney+ but I haven't heard anything concrete. It's actually steaming on Starz right now so I wonder how long that will last? If it is coming to Disney+, I say bring...

Re: 1st teaser of Dragon Ball Evolution

Damn, you beat me to it! Haha. I'm making a sort of Evolution Archive and posted it to YouTube this morning to embed there. I came across this in an old hard drive dated October 2008 and I love it because there's some unfinished special effects in it and missing a ton of sound effects. It's great. D...

Hey there! It's been awhile since I made a topic on here but I got something to share with you guys that I've been working on for a bit now: DBE Emporium, the Dragonball: Evolution Archive. It's very "work-in-progress" right now and I'm continually updating it but I really like where it's ...

Re: Funimation's blu-ray film remasters

i meant the 1990's theatre movies were remastered decent Those are actually pretty good. At least the Blu Ray versions of the Double Features, the used DNR, but it still has grain and is pretty sharp. This is actually the same or similar DNR to the last two OB's. I also like them more than the sing...

Re: What are all of the Toriyama works that Viz has translated so far?

The obvious big one is Dr. Slump, which Viz finished releasing into physical volumes ages ago, and I believe you can also buy it digitally. Beyond that, I think that's about it? For Toriyama-related releases, there's also the Dragon Ball Super manga as well as the recently released Yamcha spinoff v...

What are all of the Toriyama works that Viz has translated so far?

I'm trying to collect all of the Toriyama-related works that Viz has translated besides the main Dragon Ball story. This is the list I have so far: Sand Land - December 24, 2003 (collected) Neko Majin Z 5 - October 2007 (SJ) Cowa! - July 1, 2008 (collected) Cross Epoch - February 2011 (SJ) Kintoki -...

Re: Does the sexualization of Bulma at the start of the series bother anyone?

Here's how I think about it. Growing up as a kid going through puberty, it was awesome. Now that I'm over 18, it's really weird looking at 16 year old Bulma's cleavage. It's one of those things you got to keep in mind that it was a manga made in the '80's for young boys.

Re: Dragon Ball Movies 1-4 Now Available in HD on iTunes (with a hilarious error)

Does DB Movie 2 still have the half-frame rate problem? I haven't bought the movie but I did watch the trailer they had of it which is just a random clip from the movie and it looked like it had the same frame rate issue that is on the 4-pack dvd. And for some reason, that movie costs $5 more than ...

I didn't see anyone mentioning this yet but I'll go ahead. Toei has now made Dragon Ball Movies 1-4 available in HD on iTunes. They said movie 3 was available on their Twitter page but I don't see it listed. What's funny about movie 1 though is that they call it "Dragon Ball Z: Curse of the Blo...

Would you like Viz to include the Kanzenban ending at the end of their Super run?

I had a very interesting thought today: what if Viz included the Kanzenban ending of Dragon Ball in the last volume of their Super releases as a bonus? Seeing as how their 3-in-1s used the Kanzenban covers but not be an American release of them, we still didn’t get that ending in the states and I wo...

The arc itself makes movie 1 canon with the TV series, which just doesn't work in it's continuity.

While I have never and will never agree that it's okay to even crop a show the way these have, I don't believe the product is overall terrible. I personally think the video quality is great and, while the Japanese audio isn't perfect, it still sounds pretty good. This is how I own the show now. Yes...

That's what so risky about buying used nowadays. You really don't know what you're going to get until you pop the disc in.
