I have almost totally eliminated the probability of 4:3. When I play the orange bricks in hi def on my x box on my widescreen tv the black bars on the top and bottom are eliminated to fit the 1080 bill. So I am assuming the same goes with this. When I play them on my 4:3 television they are present ...

I wonder if that puke green will be the real color? It is kind of early to assume, but anyone remember that in the initial postings of the orange bricks the color was yellow, but then it was later revealed as orange. So the possibilities of it being different are out there.

That's right, it's a freaking manga, and it should stay that way. I can already tell this is going to be the blow all movie of the year. To me, I don't consider this Dragon Ball. Akira Toriyama is probably rolling in his grave (err... I mean his bed at night, smoking billions upon billions of ...

I just get all up-in-arms whenever I see Goku portrayed in a way other than what Akira Toriyama intended. I don't get why people are so optimistic about this? It isn't Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball, it's corporate America trying to make a buck. This movie will not have a lasting impression on me the ...

Who's to blame, society, parents, kids, FUNi, Viz, Shonen Jump?...

Damn kids, if there were no kids in this world, there would be no censoring of manga, but if there really were no kids, there would be no Dragon Ball! Oh it's a bittersweet taste!

I'm such a perfectionist that I like to have it the ...

Sigh... parents, all they do is notice a little nudity and they go bonkers! Well if they notice it, then they shouldn't buy it for their kid! They don't have to complain to the world about it... instead than can just throw it away if they don't like it. The thing about consumerism is that we decide ...

They were actually referring to the original monthly comic release, not the graphic novel. The original monthly comic was Not censored at first, I have the whole first volume of individual comics for both DB and DBZ. These were great except for the paper quality and the fact that they are rather ...

By far one of the funniest pieces of added dialog by FUNi is in episode 128 I believe, during the SSJ Goku and Artificial Human 19 fight.

In the beginning right after Goku hits android 19 through a rock mountain, it shows Tien and he says something and then it switches to Piccolo 's face and all ...

I usually watch the dub now because I have seen most of DB in its original form and I get tired of always reading subs more than watching, however there are certain scenes that I always absolutely have to switch back to Japanese even after I just watched them in English.

i.e. Trunks' arrival ...

I absolutely could not stand Sean's King Kai. Half the time you can barely understand him and he sound's like an idiot, when actually Kaio-Sama is supposed to be one of the smarter characters. Why on earth did they ever think that his version was a good idea? The Ocean Dub's Kai wasn't exactly ...

I don't care how bad the cover is. If it's uncensored, and if it's translated relatively well...and if it's cost-friendly, I'd get them.

Yes, that is most important for me as well. I'm thinking that these are just nonsense covers that were thrown on and we will get a cover art gallery on the ...

Yeah, I can't see Dr. Slump doing well in the US. The humor's not only foreign and juvenile, but dated as well. Don't get me wrong; I enjoyed the manga, but I don't see it as financially successful. If it did come out, I'd expect it to be direct-to-video, with a huge sticker proclaiming "From the ...

New Viz Big Cover Art for Dragon Ball!

Well it's finally here, both for DB and DBZ. Probably not what was expected, but then again looking at the Kenshin ones it's not that big of a surprise.
