I can safely say these will sell as long as they appear at the big retailers/amazon. DBZ was just as huge over here (in the UK) at the time 10 years ago, or however long it's been now.

The big fans will have imported by now, as I have. Ebay hasn't been cheap (£25-40 a pop per orange box) at the ...

Just a general Dragon Box question: fiddled with the tv options and dvd player options (both sony), can't seem to find a way to make the picture 16:9, no matter what I do, it always ends up widescreen (but showing a little more, a little less, etc). The actual option is there (16:9) but its greyed ...

Cell and Buu arcs have their moments, but for me DB ends at Fri/eza.

Cell storyline was fairly respectable only for Cell himself. You could accept, via having last seasons bad guy DNA, that he could be just as strong as, you know, some guy who ruled over galaxies. But predicting super saiyan speed ...

PS. What next, is there a Sonic The Hedgehog forum out there that filters Dr Robotnik into Dr Eggman? Just minor nitpicking, but just wanted to say that the name "Robotnik" was made canon in Japanese continuity, starting with Sonic Adventure 2, with "Eggman" becoming a nickname that everybody uses ...

Whoever posted the ECI stuff (seems to be gone now), thanks. That solves the other mystery.

why then should the site review and indeed judge content and stuff that is released outside of Japan or outside the Japanese language if that is not the "focus" of the website
I'm guessing it's 'cause.. y'know, they're from America. Therefore they buy the American products... and review them.
The ...

All fans are welcome, but as the website and its forum introduction make abundantly clear, our focus is on the original Japanese version of the franchise

.....nearly all of which were requested by the community. .

Blimey. Well thank you for the clarification of the site. (which of course would ...

EDIT: Boo hiss at Freeza being auto-corrected to Japanese name. :roll:
The official English subtitles and manga beg to differ about that being "Japanese".

Let's keep things on-topic, folks. Thanks!

90-95% of viewers watching it with subtitles do so (assumably) when viewing the show in Japanese ...

Thanks for confirmation. Phew, I guess.

I, just today, finished my DBZ set. Having gotten seasons 5-9 online. So there is, to note, a long time difference since the last time I got another of these season sets. (at a guess, nearly two years*)

So I stacked them all on the shelf, and noticed the colour of the spine for Season 2 ...

But the fact is, Piccolo DID hold on. I doubt Toriyama was planning anything originally where Piccolo dies and the wish cannot be made to revive the Namekians.

He's not saying he did.

In a side note...Super Buu was cut in half by Gotenks through a filler scene. Then in the Dub, Goku comments that he hadn't heard of anyone being sliced in half since Trunks beat Freeza. But that aside...What's wrong with sliced in half? It's mixing things up...Would you have really rathered a ...

Reported back. Here we go:

Your words about the ending in that same thread about your essay would be nice, Frieza. Someone does make a good point, the dragon balls ARE still there at the end...sort of.

Friend:

Not if Frieza killed ...

One thing that I don't understand by this paper is him constantly reffering to the gang as dead. I relize he specifically mentions that he's writing the paper as though the series ended there. But regardless of if the series ended there. They still had the DragonBalls and would have revived ...

Lovely, I'll be passing the words (well, the thread) along to him.

Cheers guys

The only thing I'll throw out there is that the quotes should be credited to FUNimation's writers, since a good deal of them are nowhere near what was said in Toriyama's text (i.e. - "Ally to good!" etc.).

He mentioned at the start that quoting more then simply saying Toriyama would be ...

Greetings!

A few years back, a great friend of mine wrote, for his English final or something to that nature, a paper on DBZ. I was reminded of it today and decided to post it as it may...spark discussion? Well I certainly hope so!

(well, anything involving Frieza gets my vote always :wink ...

Has anyone got a bigger picture of the Season 3 boxart?

I'd have to check, but I believe Gero stated they were so disobedient because they were so powerful. That's why after #17 was made, #18 was "transformed" into a cyborg wielding less power. Stated in the back of one of the mangas.

Edit : Yep. I was right.

“#17: Too much attention was placed on ...
