Vegeta gets embarrassed the whole movie and SSJ God is the biggest betrayal of everything I thought DBZ stood for that I would have screamed (or something) had I not realized this was actually something Toriyama designed.

Care to elaborate on this? I though that Vegeta had a pretty good ...

No, I personally didn't care for it, and was even disappointed. I live in Japan and speak fluent Japanese. I understood everything everyone said in the film. I lurk on the boards for action figure news, and to keep up on what is going on in the DBZ world. I even wen't to the special showing in ...

Unmarked spoilers from this point on: Don't read if you don't want it ruined.

Can anyone here honestly say they thought this was a good DBZ movie, even within the context of the other movies? I can see people who were fans of the new Bardock Special and the 2008 Jump special liking it, but I felt ...

Have we ever found a source, or a way to get the US music with the Japanese voices?
There clearly is no reason for doing that. Speaking of the sources, I don't think Toei (or TAVAC, maybe) still have the voice-only 6mm magnetic tapes used for Z.

Clearly no reason or no way?

As much as I love ...

I generally only lurk but this got my interest.

The reason most of you want to say Dragonball is a "hardcore" anime is because no one likes to admit they love a children's cartoon show. You can come in here and say whatever you want to the contrary, that you are "above" what other people think is ...

Japanese is extremely simple, once you get the mental language aspect down. In fact, it is structurally more simple than english, the only problem comes in the way that Japanese people combine concepts and grammar that would sound extremely awkward if translated directly into English. The more you ...

First of all, dont even start unless you KNOW you want to be fluent. It isn't worth it to start a hard language like Japanese and then decide you don't really want to learn it after all. Know it is always going to be harder than you imagine it to be. Also, you absolutely have to want to visit, and ...

I would very much like to know what happened to DB toys as well.

Kanzenban for sure. The whole Vegeta quote at the end doesn't bug me at all. It was just Vegeta's way of showing emotion for Goku. It would almost be too drastic had he turned into a "hero" character, and while I would have liked to see him call Goku "Goku" once in the show, out of friendship, it ...

Now that we have successfully agreed that Gohan is a legit Super Saiyan (thanks to the previous rant)

Why dont we start ragging on Toriyama for not portraying him as a psycho who turns evil and ends the world after the cell arc? I mean really Toriyama, did you not know everyone would critically ...

How long ago did that Goku in the luffy outfit come out? Think I can still find that?

I almost bought Freeza's spaceship, and the Goku Piccolo DB tournament stage in Akihabara yesterday. The One Piece crossover was tempting as well, although I managed to snag 01 - 04 of the HSCF for 2400 yen. Anyone know when the HSCF SS3 Vegeta comes out?

Wait....what?!

I feel Piccolo more or less completes his character development after the Namek saga. The best would be Gohan or Vegeta imo. Gohan goes from wimpy school boy to frightened 5 year old badass, back and fourth until he hits ss2. From then on he reverts back to his stupid self as Great Saiyaman, and ...

The original 3 movies were done really well. I watched my old copy of Dead Zone the other day, and it was just so badass.
And despite what anyone else says, I miss hearing Faulconers music in the sub. Despite all of the obnoxious computer noises in the android saga. I got pumped during the fight ...

Well if you analyze the show according to sagas, then Gohan essentially starts out as a weak college student who has lost sight of the "saving the universe" goal in exchange for short time popularity. Gohan has essentially returned to the world which we found him in at the beginning of DBZ, that of ...

Of course it will be in the same scale, but accurate when it comes to height comparisons. That Vegeta looks pretty tall.

These are incredible. Way better than the MG Goku IMO. That Vegeta looks like it will be awesome, I hope it is to scale with Goku and Piccolo though.

While I like the figure, and think it is awesome that it is a model kit, it just looks too awkward for me to like. Based on what I can gather from pictures (I've never actually seen one) the boots are too pointy, and Goku almost looks like he has monkey arms. The proportions just seem off, I dunno ...
