Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.

RIP Akira Toriyama A man responsible for so many of my happiest memories growing up, and whose stories and characters have informed the very person I am today - he couldn't possibly have known how many like me his work has touched in such an intrinsic way, and I don't generally believe in any kind o...

Re: Is anyone still holding out for a new HD remaster from TOEI?

The 'HD remaster' rumours have been around for a while, I believe the specific rumour you're talking about ended up being baseless as always, as long as releases keep coming each one will be hyped by certain folk as being 'THE ONE', the elusive actually half-decent release. When it wasn't the Funi 3...

Re: Your opinion about Dragon Ball AI Project (DBAI)

Seeing it in motion gave me a headache, AI has come so far in recent years but still has a ways to go until it is producing something worthwhile without large investment. Individual stills of certain shots will look admittedly 'fine' when AI upscaled, but when you're dealing with far away objects or...

Re: Was DBGT canon during its original airing?

i know your question pertains to the original airing, but it feels like even during the 90s/00s western syndication that GT was a 'canon' sequel at least to anybody who hadn't really looked in-depth. Maybe that was true up until the advent of easy to access info on the internet, that was definitely ...

Re: New Blu Ray sets? Let's compare!

No, I'm not settling for a smeared, over-sharpened, over-saturated mess of a release that added fake grain and left things uncropped in an attempt to mask their nonsense and appease "hardcore" fans. "Good enough" can fuck off. Do it right (as you've shown you can do!) or don't d...

Re: Funimations 30th anniversary collectible home video release

I can see they're both A and B region. I wonder if these will be distributed in Europe too or will MangaUK re-release them under their logo sometime later. It's definitely to encompass a MangaUK release now that Funi own them. I feel like I'm in a minority that think these are actually really ugly,...

Take from it what you will, considering production was well over 20 years ago, but he seems fairly certain.

I so need to find a copy of Buu's Fury, we never got it here in the UK, great games even LoG 1 had its charm.

I would also recommend Dragon Ball Z: The Legend, for Sega Saturn - it's also available on the PS1 but there are some changes.

For me it would be: - OG Dragonball anime from Red Ribbon onwards - Switched to the manga as I couldn't stand the poor audio - Any of Dragonball Kai - I have it on Blu-Ray but just haven't had chance yet! - Dragonball manga beyond...

Old Gamecube tech demo ?

I have recently been looking through some old magazines and came across a couple from 2002, before the release of Budokai. The oldest magazine states that there is going to be a game like Powerstone but for Dragon Ball Z, which will be released on PS2 and Gamecube. It shows a photo of Kame House whi...

Re: Toei should promoto Piccolo more as a LGBTQQIP2SAA character

I see Piccolo as an asexual man. Same here, like Freeza. Both have been referred to as male and a 'son' to their parent so that is the only thing we can go off. I can't think of a time either have shown interest in anything romantically, the only thing that stands out to me is how excited Freeza ge...
