Kanzenshuu

The first instance is just screaming. The text on the screen is just a transcription of the screaming ("Gyoee!!").

You are right about the second instance, though. It's "Iteeee!" which literally means "This is painful!" Or more simply, it just means, "Ouch!" It seems odd that they wouldn't ...

Hello folks, back here after a long time. Love this website/board.

(WARNING, spoilers for DB ep. 6 follow)

I have a question about the correct translation of two things that Yamcha yells in episode 6. from the original DB series. It is the ep. when he and Puaru sneak up on Goku/Bulma/Oolong as ...

Thanks for your replies - that was sort of what I was looking to hear. Yeah, we're looking at several years, if ever.

You know, I was talking the subject of semi-rare/small market titles (like anime, Asian action movies, less popular TV shows, etc) coming to HD media over with several techie ...

The real question is, are Toei's current masters in an HD format? -Corey You know, obviously I'm no expert on Toei's business dealings but from analyzing everything they've done so far and hearing from others on forums that followed Toei's Dragon Box projects even closer than I did at the time ...

So my purist nature (just the colors being completely inaccurate is enough for me to get pissed off) and recent events have taught me that I will NEVER, and I mean "NEVER!" - see a satisfying release of the Dragon Ball property here in the US. But also, rather, that I should focus all my energy into ...

Great post, Corey/others.

So here's that Gohan R2 D-box shot (taken for another thread):

*pic snipped*

Thanks, I had to catch up with you since you blew me away in the previous thread ;)

I'm fairly certain that's a bootleg, the color saturation looks off...or I may be crazy. It's not unusual ...

Also a couple points to be clear:

1. There's nothing extra or missing from what the Dragon Boxes display. Like EX suggested and someone else mentioned - 4:3 shows are always slightly cropped/zoomed-in on because their outside areas are most susceptible to wear and tear damage. Leaving extra space ...

Great post, Corey/others.

So here's that Gohan R2 D-box shot (taken for another thread):

The "most favorite" thread was fun - and there are about 6 billion characters between DB, Z, GT and the movies - so now we're doing this. Thanks.

Anyway. Out of all the character designs that are out there - which are your least favorite? Which do you think are the most generic, most stupid, most ...

Okay, I now would also like to use this time to remind everybody of this post from DBW some 20 pages ago. As you can see from the below, the show is framed 4:3. The characters/focus are always set to the middle. The sides are never important but the top and bottom absolutely are. Anything removed ...

Oh, and don't get me started on their description and revelation of "overscan". Jesus, was I the only one who had his intelligence personally insulted when they read that? I mean, why would they even mention that in this day and age, at this point in time in our discussions with them? Pure spin is ...

^^^yeah, seriously...mister yummy - I think you scared a lot of people with that rant you posted...I mean, everybody's entitled...but talk about the "dissenting opinion"...wow.

Anyway, about these recent comparison pics - the first thought I had when looking at them was "oh, OK, so the whole reason ...

Now, in terms of filler, I wish the manga had "the driving episode". Other than that, I prefer the manga so much more simply due to not having filler to sift through. Filler arcs and episodes are one thing, but the "stand around and stare at eachother" thing is what gets to me sometimes. In the ...

To be as blunt as possible, I hate the anime, and think the manga is alright. Entertaining, and fun to read, but not amazing to me.

The anime I have always found to be a very poor imitation. See this kind of thought process I don't understand - because the anime is such a mirror of the manga (as ...

^^^Yeah, Cell's awesome too. Just that Freeza is the more iconic/recognizeable/famous villian in the DB universe. Actually, when I first watched the Cell series many years ago - I remember thinking that it was absolutely genius how Toriyama designed and wrote all his transformations throughout the ...

^^^Hah, hell yeah.

I've never really had a problem with any of the things "fans" do. Maybe that's because I haven't personally met many real anime fans in general and also because the company kept on boards like this one, specifically, is generally also of pretty high quality. Suppose I/we can thank EX for that - due ...

About the filler though - I have to say that even those of you who gripe at it must also admit that there are numerous times when the filler actually adds a lot or is cool.

Specifically, I'm thinking about how in the original Dragon Ball series - during the first several episodes of the show - the ...

Piccolo is one of the greatest, most unique, and "attractive" character designs of all time. His head, his ears, the pattern on his arms - and then his clothes both with the cape/turban and then without. It's absolutely amazing and does not get any better.

Freeza too. Such a unique-looking and ...

(Note: did a search and read through 29 pages but this question was never specifically asked/answered - lot of other interesting, semi-related stuff out there though!)

I'm talking assuming that we are talking about the US-released English-translated versions of both DB & DBZ that are currently the ...
