Your thoughts on non-filler padding in Dragon Ball

I'm not talking about Bulma-Frog hijinks, rather scenes present in the manga that were stretched to infinity and beyond when adapted for the anime (ruining them? Making them better?). I can't think of any specific ones for Dragon Ball, but (light One Piece spoilers) Jinbei's Fishman Karate in Impel ...

Ooh! Segway Majin Buu's line into "'cuz, I like candy" (enter song here). But, nah, that's lame. Now, on the other side of the ballpark, I'm not adverse to this, and the finished product will probably be better, but I just didn't find it funny really... I probably missed the joke...? And f...

Re: Dragonball Z NES RPG

The opening begins with Son Gohan falling to the ground, Super Gotenks Boo looming over him. Flashing before Son's eyes is the future of if his dad returned, i.e. he sees what happens in the series. Refusing to let his dad's "Let the new generation take over" go to waste he gets up and ex...

Dragonball Z NES RPG

I've been toying around with RPG Maker 2000 (woo! Retro!), and I wish to make a simple DBZ RPG (with emphasis on a fun storyline, rather than the battle system). Re-creations of what's already there can get boring, especially with a gazillion random side quests filled in. That's what the official ga...

According to Kanzentai, I was born on the date that "Transformed At Last!! The Legendary Super Saiya-jin – Son Goku" aired.

I feel so freaking epic right now.

This is pure win. Now, if it's not jockstrapped up the rear end like Harukanaru Goku Densetsu was, this could actually be Origins-level calibur!

"It looks like a good movie, just not a good Dragonball movie."
Quoted for emphasis. I also agree about Goku being off character.

I'll reiterate; he's really off character.

So, I played through this the other day, and thought... "Wow. The puzzles REALLY suck in this game." I mean, I was sort-of expecting that I'd need an FAQ for a SNES-era JRPG, but the whole switch thing was stupid. It wasn't hard. It was just plain dumb. Also, the maps suck hard. Too bland;...

Re: Legend of the Super Saiyan (Super Saiya Densetsu)

Well, I know you have incredibly solid reasoning behind every opinion and standard for this forum. I do try my best to always keep the original copy and don't hold on to ROMs past 24 hours if I don't own the original. What's the phrase? Oh yeah. That rule is an utter crock of crap. 24 hours, 24 min...

I think I really want this release. I've become addicted to that opening theme, and it's way cheaper than getting the singles.

Although, anyone know any decent (read: cheap) places to get it for Europeans? Preferably somewhere UK-based, so import tax wouldn't rape me.

So, in terms of video, is it better to pick up this, or the previous DVD releases? Is the blur really, really bad?

Oh, also, are the Japanese versions of Dan Dan and all that included? As soul-rippingly awesome as the English covers are... it just seems so FUNimation to omit the Japanese themes.

GT: Opinions; what would you do?

Okay, so GT is pretty much despised by the Dragonball community, with many people finding it an insult to the original, too boring to watch, or badly-executed. So, I'd personally scrap SSJ4, as kickass as it does look. It makes no sense to me; how does it relate to the other levels at all? If anythi...

Sorry, my mistake. I downloaded from the Japanese site without realising. It does indeed have subtitles. I'm using a media catcher now. The stutter makes it unwatchable otherwise... 5mb done.

For me, it just plays, stuttering all the way through. I've paused it, restarted it, let it play and then gone back, but it still stutters.

There are no subs.

I think everyone is. They're probably updating (although, I don't really know how fast it's supposed to be).

Or maybe the server's overloading!
