Kanzenshuu

Wow,

I've only ever really lurked here for years. But this one I think is bringing everyone out of the woodwork.

I remember in 1995 waking up in the morning, getting ready for school and those first dubbed episodes played on repeat for a couple weeks. I genuinely could not remember the name of the ...

I like Krillin over Kuririn as well. Frieza over Freezer. Can't think of anything else off the top of my head.

Despite being a Dragonball fan since the original airing of DragonBall in the 90's... All I've ever seen is the first 13 cut up episodes that aired, and for Z, up through the Tenkaichi Budokai during the Buu saga, as well as the first few episodes of GT. But I've seen so many videos, read the manga ...

I voted for Dragon Ball, despite just having bought the blue bricks. The only Dragon Ball I've ever seen was back when it was on TV in the 90's! I haven't seen it since Funimation went back and re-dubbed it. Almost wondering if I should start watching these blue bricks or have more patience and see ...

I am totally in! I have Dragon Boxes 1-3 and 5-7, so I would LOVE YOU FOREVER if you would be willing to sell me one of your vol. 4s....

Yep I have you noted, check your PM


Edit: That's 3 dox 4's I'm counting off now. I'm going to halt taking orders here until I can verify that I know more are ...

I think I might actually like that intro better than Head-Cha-La. Toonami always had really awesome intros for their shows.

I think it's safe to agree that all three movies are cinematic failures.

My problem is I don't want to buy one daizenshuu, I want to buy all the daizenshuu. I'm a completest that won't start buying something till at least a second volume comes out.

Quick question, when watching the dub, do they still play that crappy butt-rock music instead Head Cha-La or is the Japanese music track completely playing through the episodes?

I certainly don't like this "lesser" fan idea. I didn't buy my Japanese action figures and fanlations back in the day before the dub was popular, because I am a "lesser" fan. I've watched the show through in Japanese, I have the toys, the posters, the manga, the modded playstations, bought copies of ...

Hey Mike, I totally agree with your discussion on the whole dub audio on the Dragonbox sets. I just wanted to add one little point on the whole "nostalgia" point. Me personally, who I guess you could call a Funimation Loyalist (Was that the term?), I think that had they had not included a track with ...

Gotta say, the Mexican dub is pretty awesome.

I would say I am equally a fan of both versions, both for different reasons. The Japanese version of course is correct, and the way it's meant to be seen. The English dub now has a strong sense of nostalgia about it like many things from my childhood.

I've heard some people say it's like two ...

To the film lovers in the audience, how do you watch foreign films? Movies like Crouching Tiger, Chungking Express, Seven Samurai, Masculine Feminine, the original Godzilla, Oldboy, etc.? Do you watch it dubbed and completely ignore all the amazing acting that went into making those films great ...

Look, no one's saying you can't have opinions, especially in a thread in a forum, where people are being asked why they have an unpopular opinion.

It's when the thread asks, "Why do you like the dub?" and a persons first response is "Well, I'll tell you why I don't like the dub!" that seems like ...

11-10-09???

That's the day before my birthday... YAY! FREE DRAGONBOX FOR ME!

I think that's part of the whole thing, hardcore fans act like dub fans watch the dub because they don't know better of because they're stupid noobs. It's not true, dub fans have had access to DVDs with Japanese language and subtitle options for years.

Heck I've watched DB, DBZ, AND DBGT every ...

And I already tackled this in another thread, unless you don't speak English or are illiterate, or are under 15, your mind absorbs words that appear in front of you automatically, obviously not if it's an entire paragraph.


I am 24, by the way.

The amount of people out there who will make a ...

I can narrow this down pretty simply.

A.) It's English, and I want to hear things in my own language.

B.) I do enjoy the voice actors, even though I hated them at first, they are the voices I hear in my head at this point.

C.) Minor plot details aside, DBZ is a show about people fighting. As long ...
