Re: DB Online timeline redux

The perfect files mention he didn't lose any strength, and he's able to fight evenly with General Rild in base and Super Saiyan who is stated to be stronger than Majin Boo. So yeah, they didn't depower him, instead they haxed him through the roof. Him struggling against weak enemies is just GT's in...

Re: DB Online timeline redux

He seemed weaker than his adult self, considering that he kind of struggled when facing common enemies (robots and such) he would have normally been able to walk through in Z - especially when you consider all the extra training he did with Oob. As for Gohan, he was always sort of a pacifist, and i...

Re: DB Online timeline redux

I know I'm in the minority here, but I liked GTs continuity more than what I've read here. Some of the high points being: -Oobs training and merging with Boo. -Pilaf being the reason for Gokus much needed depowering. -Super Saiya-Jin 4, and the way it happened making perfect natural sense. It was r...

Re: Kai 1-4 DVD and Blu ray discontinued!

True, but at least its not as oddly placed as the Kikuchi score. Does the standard DVD version also have the Yamamoto score? Because thats the version I bought, but have not yet opened. Check on the tiny text written below the disc tech features. My DBZK Part 5 on the tiny text says "Kenji Yam...

Re: Kai 1-4 DVD and Blu ray discontinued!

I have been trying to collect the first four volumes of Kai, preferably on Blu-Ray(but am settling for a couple of affordable DVD sets when it comes to parts three and four), just for the Yamamoto score. Anyway, today I received season one part four, and the back reads that it contains the original...

Re: Did FUNimation overstep their bounds?

I check this board after a year, and its the same as it ever was. I personally consider mysef a big fan of DBZ, and I like both the original Japanese dub, and aspects of Funis dub, and by that I mean Faulconers music; It just feels more epic exactly when it should, to me. Thats not to say Kikuchis i...

Re: Super Saiyans Going Too Far?

I agree that taking it beyond Super Saiyan into 2, 3, and 4 was unnecessary and repetitive. If they needed Goku to be stronger to beat stronger foes, they should have simply had Goku train harder as he did when he was just a plain old regular Saiya - Jin. Truthfully, I was just as enthraled when Gok...

Re: Worst Dragon Ball game

For me it's Dragon Ball Z Legends. That's probably just because I can't figure it out. When I switch it on, the game pretty much plays itself. I can switch out characters, but that's about it. No other button seems to do anything. Despite how bad Sagas, Final Bout, & Ultimate Battle 22 are, I l...

I wanna send in an e-mail about Voice Acting and a Top 5 suggestion. But, I'm gonna wait until after the Daisuke Gouri tribute next episode. I would like to read your suggestions. I am interested in doing Voice work, particularly for Anime, of course. But I honestly have no idea where to start. I'v...

Re: Episode #0205 (17 January 2010)

I'm not sure what the deal was with the Eva movie dubs, but it might have been a scheduling conflict that caused the need for recasts. It's not like FUNimation's short on good female actors to replace Rei or Ritsuko (disclaimer: I haven't the slightest clue if I got that right, as I don't know much...

Re: Where did DBE fail, where the Autobots and Joes succeeded?

I think a big budget animated film would work better. Toei could pull out all the stops I wonder if a CGI based film would work.... CGI? What would be the point? CG films cant capture the subtlety of hand drawn animation ( Avatar doesnt count, they used motion capture ) , and we already have well a...

Re: The lack of respect Dragonball and its fans get.

You say that like it's a bad thing. As Bussani pointed out, so is Dragon Ball. I didnt mean it that way. Its not a bad thing. The Princess and the Frog is ANYTHING but another "princess" movie. If you don't believe me, go see it. They definitely have made the best Disney film since Lilo a...

Re: The lack of respect Dragonball and its fans get.

Well, it might already be obvious, but my definition of anime still differs from yours; but that's okay, it's a nickname that's never been defined in stone anyway. Thats cool. I completely respect your opinion. Dragon Ball is a kiddie cartoon, though. And Miyazaki's films are as much family fare as...

You smack talk on "Up" again and I'll come at you with a broom! :P Hey, I like UP too, but its still family fare. And in so doing you help to prevent it from ever happening. Cartoon isn't a bad word, the more you give people who think it is the slack to think it is, the more you help them...

I was simply saying that as long as the actual frames of animation of any given show are drawn by Japanese animators, even if the story and characters are conceived by non Japanese people ( such as in Gotham Knight ) , than it should be considered Japanese animation, and fall under the term " ...

Transformers, and G.I. joe were animated by Toei, as their distributor, Sunbow, only began animating in - house in the early ninties. As far as Transformers is concerned, Toei animated the first season and the movie. From season two onward, AKOM in Korea was added to the team and, from the look of ...
