Since you're in the UK do you remember what channel Batman TAS aired on? Google says CBBC but I could swear it was on Cartoon Netowrk. I remember Batman of the Future (Batman Beyond) and Justice League were 100% on CN.

I was quite late to the party with Batman TAS, and didn't see it in full ...

Also the violence really stood out compared to US cartoons I was watching at the times. Other shows characters wouldn't even punch each other.

I remember the "no punching" rule being a thing on Spider-Man TAS. They got around it sometimes, like having him punch someone with his fist coming ...

Add in Spider-Man: The Animated Series and Jackie Chan Adventures and I'm in a similar boat. :lol:

I was really into both of those too. :)

There were a lot of awesome shows that simply didn't have close to as many episodes as the DB franchise.

Stuff like Batman Beyond, Xmen Evolution, and ...

Most of us on this forum would've probably never gotten into it, as well as countless others who grew up loving it.

Many have had their lives enriched through their fandom, to the point were they'd be considerably worse off without it.

In an alternate universe where I never became a fan, it's ...

It probably will be remembered to some extent. I think it largely depends on there being a steady supply of new material.

Someone mentioned stuff like Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry. I think Scooby Doo is a great example. It's had many different iterations spanning decades.

Another obvious ...

I always loved the Budokai game soundtracks, and agree it was a massive shame to see them replaced for the HD collection. Those tracks were plagiarised, but they were awesome, and really brought the spirit of DB.

I was lucky enough to get Raging Blast 2 at launch, so my copy has Yamamoto's music ...

I'd always be up for the Saban dub getting a Blu-ray release. It's the version that introduced most of the English speaking world to the franchise, had years of reruns, and was watched and enjoyed by millions. To this day Funimation's dubs still retain certain elements from it. It deserves to be ...

Over the years I've tended to rewatch Z more than the others in general, so I often started with that while watching the other shows separately whenever.

Although a couple of years back I decided to rewatch OG DB and went to Kai from there. It flowed surprisingly well. DB had less filler than Z to ...

Double posting bc the two unpopular takes are so unrelated.

GT is better dubbed with the Menza score, and I say this as someone who prefers the Japanese version for everything else.

The corny dated approach actually improves GT and sometimes the dub makes legitimate corrections to the plot that ...

I like both DBS Broly and Super Hero, though I like Broly more.

One big detriment to Super Hero is how it disregards Gohan's excellent ToP development, and has him carelessly slack off yet again. His training with Piccolo prior to the ToP really felt like it was hammering home he'd learned his ...

I'd rank it pretty low, although I enjoy most of the Z movies.

Bio Broly isn't bad by any means. It just lacks Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan, and is a disappointment for those who wanted another actual Broly movie.

Its continuity is interesting, as it acts as a followup to both Movie 10 and the 25th ...

At this point I'm curious if the US Daima Blu-ray will be region locked. If not then I'd probably import it, rather than wait forever in the hopes of a UK release.

Crunchyroll's Daima Blu-ray is coded Regions A & B, so if you’re in the UK, feel free to import!

Good to know. Thanks! :thumbup:

I've seen Z too many times to count, largely because of the constant re-runs on UK TV from 2000-2005. I've also watched it on DVD and Blu-ray a bunch of times.

For both OG DB and GT I'd have to guess 6-8 times each?

I've also seen Kai quite a bit thanks to the Kix broadcast from 2012-2015. They ...

I wonder if Crunchyroll left it too late to announce a UK release now that Dragon Ball Super is returning. That said we still have at least a year before we get into actual new material, but I still think theres a chance the retellings could be good and be able to compete with a Daima home release ...

So as far as I can see there's still no word on a UK Blu-ray release for Daima.

It's frustrating because the dub still isn't available on streaming here either. Seems we always have to get screwed over by rights issues.

I remember Manga UK taking forever to announce Super's home release too ...

You'd think them constantly restarting before finishing Namek would hurt the ratings. I know from reading reddit threads that people are tired of it.

I'm sure people would love them to re-air Cell and Buu.

The problem is that Toonami only commissioned up to 52. If they kept going they would ...

It kind of annoys me when people say to skip 'The Fly' episode on Breaking Bad, due to it supposedly being filler. It has an important moment in Walt and Jesse's relationship, and is just fun to watch.

Another example is 'The Lost Sister' episode in Stranger Things. It's an important episode for ...

I still have some nostalgia for the Big Green dub of Z movie 2 though, as my mam bought me it for Christmas and it was the first Dragon Ball DVD I ever owned.

I remember getting Big Green movie 4 on VHS for Christmas 2003, and being disappointed with the voices as I had no prior knowledge of ...

I mean, the dub assumes its viewers watched The 53 episodes of the Funi/Saban/Ocean dub and the succeeding 55 Funi in-house episodes. The latter, people tend to gloss over and then get confused why there’s no Ocean dub for those episodes. But for broadcast purposes it’s all “one continuity ...
