Re: What's your most recent Dragonball purchase?

Just bought: DragonBall Z Dragonbox Volume 7 DVD. Just one more to go! Getting Dragonbox 4 is going to be tough but I'll manage.

Re: Will we ever get a good home release of Dragon Ball Z in the States ever again?

I will finish buying the Dragonbox sets and call it a day. Crunchyroll is so far beyond releasing DB properly.

Re: Let's be real. Future Trunks is wasted potential

Trunks had the most impact full debut of anyone in the series. He shows up and smokes the strongest villain in the series up until that point. The man survives a hellish future with almost no one to protect him. His character is fleshed out with detail. Trunks is way more than a jobber of the week.

Re: AB Video to release OG Dragon Ball on Blu-Ray

It's a shame that everyone except Funimation can do a proper release of the franchise. Even Yu Yu Hakusho has received better releases over DragonBall.

Re: Top 5 DB Movies

1. World's Strongest- I love that this film has an awesome score and cool fight scenes. The heroes aren't overpowered and the settings are unique. 2. DB Super: Broly- Toriyama took a movie character in Broly and made his story work within respect to the main timeline. The best part of the film is Br...

Re: Was DB Super a flop in the grand scheme of things?

I doubt it can be considered a flop. Super has reignited my interest in the franchise. I bought all the Blurays in a heartbeat and can't wait to watch the newest film.

Re: Seriously, Where are the Dragon Ball Super games???

The games will always focus on Z content with DB, the movies, GT, and Super playing a smaller role.

Re: Deep Thoughts: The Piccolo Daimao Saga

One of the reasons I love this arc is that Daimao was pure evil to the end. Everything about this part of the story screams action and intrigue. Anyone that says DragonBall is campy clearly hasn't read the manga or watched the episodes. Goku beating Daimao is one of my favorite TV moments of all time.

Re: Why doesn't the series appeal as an adventure series?

I really do think in like, 3-5 years, the love for the Faulconer score will really not be that much of a thing. Obviously it'll always have its fans, but as the Dragon Ball fandom is more and more comprised of English speaking fans who grew up with Kai, with the dub with the original score, or even...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions

Poor sales of the original DBox sets, I guess. But they always marketed the original DBoxes being for sub fans only so I don't know what they were expecting sales wise? Dragonbox 2 went through a second printing. Ebay and Amazon prices for the Dragonboxes are all north of 200 dollars per set. There...

One Piece is a current juggernaut with no signs of slowing down. It makes sense that it is getting all the attention right now. Dragonball is a legacy franchise at this point.

Re: What was your first introduction to Dragon Ball?

A friend of mine who drew shared an anime magazine that had SS4 Goku. Also a bunch of friends who had Cartoon Network talked about DBZ often. First full episode I saw was February 2002 after Vegeta blew himself up to stop Majin Boo.
