Re: Would a complete DBZ English redub be necessary?

It wouldn't be necessary, because, as stated unlike the Sailor Moon example Dragon Ball Z has a complete, uncut English dub. Even with its flaws it satisfies what the vast majority of fans want in an English dub, that much is clear because its so adamantly defended to this day. I don't like bumping...

Re: Dragon Ball influences in Western products

It's probably the "18 breaks Vegeta's arm with a kick" moment that's being referred to. So female characters breaking other people's arms is a concept unique to Dragon Ball. That's literally the exact same scene just with different characters, dude. It's a clear reference. Oh ok, I would ...

Re: Dragon Ball influences in Western products

I think a pic got lost here or we are now considering punching and kicking as concepts unique to Dragon Ball now. It's probably the "18 breaks Vegeta's arm with a kick" moment that's being referred to. So female characters breaking other people's arms is a concept unique to Dragon Ball.

Re: Would a complete DBZ English redub be necessary?

I think anyone who is hoping for this pipe dream should look to the Netflix dub of Evangelion. Its more faithful than the ADV dub in every way, but most people who want that will just watch it in Japanese and most fans who want it dubbed are content with the old ADV dub. There was literally no perc...

Re: Did the editor veto of 17 and 18 being the arc villains keep her alive

If I remember correctly, Toriyama's editor at the time didn't veto anything, it was one of his past editors that didn't like them as the main villians and poked fun at them, which inspired Toriyama to change things up and create Cell. Believe it or not, I knew that already, but not only I was not s...

Re: Did the editor veto of 17 and 18 being the arc villains keep her alive

I think it depends on when Toriyama decided 18 would be the Future Mrs.Krillin. After he decided 17 and 18 wouldn't be the big bad anymore? Before? Pilaf (if he counts), Piccolo (through reincarnation), and Vegeta all survived their stint as big bad so there's a precedent. We could of had a paralle...

This isnt Islamophobia, I like Muslim people but its sadly true that Saudi Arabia is a very strict and discriminatory place. I think it will improve, they already removed the ban on Women Drivers. This ban was NOT religious, Muslim women driving its not such a big deal outside Saudi Arabia, the ban ...

Did the editor veto of 17 and 18 being the arc villains keep her alive

This is the one thread for the month. I know an editor REALLY hated the idea of "Brats" being the main villains (I was about to say Torishima but not sure) but I wonder if this veto was what spared 18 from death. If she was kept up a main villain instead of Cell taking over, would the good...

Re: Dragon Ball broadcast on Adult Swim + Toonami LatAm channel.

I dont blame sangofe for not being a believer. If one told me Adult Swim would come to Latin America, Air Z so much it might as well run 24/7 and running to the Buu Saga in a matter of MONTHS, I would have told them. "HA! Like that will EVER HAPPEN!"

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.

Kikuchi was 100% definitely chosen to do the music for Dragonball because he did the music for Dr. Slump. So that's probably what your actual question should be. I know most would just think Kikuchi was lazily inserted into DB but he swam like a fish on DB. And I dont mean JUST OG DB, he was awesom...
