Re: Who do you want to direct a DB movie reboot?
I wouldn't mind seeing a Dragon Ball film adaptation in the same style that Peter Jackson and Steven Spielberg employed for Tintin , I think it'd work well (even though it wouldn't be live-action). And if we factor in Jackson's crew at Weta Studios, the results would be more than satisfactory, I'd ...

Re: Why exactly was the anime named DBZ and not DB too?
I'm happy that they just called it Dragon Ball Z. The Z in the title did help the series became popular both in the US and other parts of the world.
Yeah, when I think back to the early Ocean dub, the way the show was announced was classic. "Stand by for DRAGON BALL ZEEEEE ... coming NEXT" I can ...

Re: VA's who come cose or are on-par with the original Seiyu
I think Kaioshin's portrayal in both languages is superb, both actors showcase the sort of mystical calmness he has, especially when he's introduced into the story. Credit to Kent Williams as the English VA, who I see also voiced Dr. Gero, another adaptation I thought was quite good.

Episode 274:
Mr. Satan disappears from the frame for a second as he, the dog and Dende approach Majin Boo's toilet.

Re: Dragonball Errors
Oh sure, no probs.

Edit: May as well throw in the after-after shot for good measure.

Just watched that episode, I noticed that too. There was also yet another instance of Vegeta's disappearing glove(s):Son_Gohan wrote:Episode 268

Yeah, I know what we're all thinking here...

Re: Scouters As Communicators
Well, I am sure it works kind of like a phone or a walkie talkie. Vegeta probably thought he was going to be immortal for sure and didn't care to tune out his headset or something.
Yep, I'm pretty sure they work as walkie talkies, too. We at least see them being used in that way during Jheese and ...

Re: DragonBall Z Abridged
Oh man, the Sebastian moment got me really good. Ten joining in the singing was unexpected to say the least, haha. Now I'm keen to see how well the team manage to cut down the marathon/endurance event of Goku v Freeza. Really looking forward to it.

Re: Dragonball Errors
But in the next frame, Piccolo's arm is back by his side. Then it's back on Kami again by the time the fusion takes place.

Holy crap, I was deceived. Actually I wondered about the positioning of Piccolo's armpit there, but I just assumed it was his arm, not Kami's. Good stuff ...

Re: Paikuhan & Cell debate thread
Erm, let me just clarify here. If Kaio was terrified of someone like Freeza not too long ago, but doesn't revere Cell as anything special less than a month afterwards (We see Kaio cringing at Cell and Gohan's final battle), don't you find that a bit unrealistic? Kaio seems to imply he knew about ...

Re: Dragonball Errors
Speaking of Piccolo, I was just reminded of a minor error I noticed in episode 141.
Piccolo places his hand on kami, ready to fuse.

Re: What Would You Have Added/Changed?
Anyway, Gohan being the hero at the end of Buu arc would have been cool. Making it so Piccolo & the Earthlings aren't so irrelevant in the later arcs would certainly be a priority too.
Yeah, the Boo arc seems like The Saiyan Show more than anything, which I thought was a shame. Dragon Ball had ...

What was he thinking, you ask? "I'll get you, monkey! And your little planet, too." Or something along those lines.

Re: Dragonball Errors
I just plugged the episode in to take a gander at it. Seems like they may have moved back and the Announcer hid in the tree for safety since there isn't an indication of him being rattled ... I'm guessing we can just say after the Cell Juniors were murdered, they moved closer to see what was gonna ...

Re: Dragonball Errors
That's what I reckoned. And there is a moment, during Gohan's transformation, where they do get blown away. The next time we see them, there's a dust cloud and they look a bit shaken. But no trees. Then for some reason, after Gohan destroys the third Cell Junior, trees appear. So either the ...

Re: Dragonball Errors
True, there's also this panel (not long after Gohan finishes the last of the Cell Juniors) which shows a few trees not far from where Mr. Satan and co. were situated. This also looks like the basis of what was used for the first screencap I posted.

Re: Dragonball Errors
Well we do see green lush vacantly mixing in and out in the distance and the crew is constantly moving. I wouldn't doubt they were blown to an area with trees at one point, but it's also entirely possible it's an error on the scripting and artists. Both are just theories though, nothing is ...

Re: Dragonball Errors
The thing is, you only really notice these errors when you're actually trying to notice them . I would never have known that Popo's model of Shenlong was actually supposed to remain in its glass case if I hadn't checked the manga. So it's not like it was a glaring error that detracted from my ...

A few errors I noticed in episode 173:
Gohan's clothes suddenly change during his trip to Kami's lookout. To be fair though, this also occurs in the manga.
