Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.
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 s...

Re: Dub or Viz-specific terminology you're fond of?
I like Krillin over Kuririn as well. Frieza over Freezer. Can't think of anything else off the top of my head.

Re: Is there anyone here who hasn't seen the whole series?
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,...

Re: Dragon Box FUNimation Survey
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 ...

Re: Who remembers this?
I think I might actually like that intro better than Head-Cha-La. Toonami always had really awesome intros for their shows.

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 differe...

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 jus...

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 episo...

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 decision...

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 as...
