Does anyone else here feel the need to vomit after reading that book except? I'm actually curious to read it just to see what ridiculous things are written in there. Some of my guesses of things stated in that book: "People in Dragonball never die or get injured. They are simply transported to...

Yeah but putting up some low quality samples might be just the enticement needed to make the purchase. Heck, maybe some hard core dubbies who swear they hate the jp version might make a conversion. :wink:

Besides the other ones mentioned already, I'd have to say the sound made by the Makenkosappo when Piccolo uses it for the 1st time against Raditz.

I wish TOEI would make a "making of" for DBZ so we can see how they came up with the sounds we are so familiar with today.

A movie based on the legend of Super Saiyajin.

I would like to know the origin behind the legend. Did a saiyajin ever turn into a super saiya-jin years (or thousands of) ago? If so, what happened to him/her? If not, how did this legend get started?

Well it wasn't exactly a lie but me misunderstanding a truth. Before I had any clue of what DBZ was about, I was at my cousin's who was already a fan and he was watching some episode in the Cell saga. So I asked him what this was about. After hearing his explanation I kinda understood that Cell had ...

Woohoo! Just got my GH edition of Budokai 3 (yeah, better late than never) and thanks to Akira's observation I made sure to get a good copy. So far I'm loving it, except for the damn load times . Is it just me or do they seem longer with the GH than with the regular Budokai 3? Could it be because of...

Does it have the music that plays when Goku finally arrives to confront Nappa and Vegeta and he gives them this look? http://www3.sympatico.ca/bekat/PDVD_000.JPG It also plays in other scenes throughout DBZ.

Smooth Criminal, quit your whining. You don't like the game? Fine. Just sell it on eBay. You'll probably get most of your money back that way, or just return it to the store if it has a flexible return policy and get all of it back. So there's no need to insult people like a friggin whining baby jus...

What they say in the recap are exactly the same lines as they were used in the actual episode. Only difference is that they were re-recorded so the delivery is slightly different. So how is that saving time?

About the recaps...

There was always something I wondered about the (japanese) DBZ recaps. Why is the voice acting redone for the recap instead of just using the original dialogue from the previous episode? I hope my question is clear enough. It's just that when watching the recaps, I notice the line delivery is comple...

All of polish tv is like that for some reason. I remember having a polish channel on satelitte back in the middle east.

I forget the episode number but I recall one recap where you see Goku practising the Kaioken on Kaio's planet and smashing through walls, and it was never in any episode.
