Re: New Dragon Ball Fan

Sorry guys it's been a while! I bet you thought I died or something!

Truth be told my internet service provider cut me off over a few unpaid bills. But I'm back on track, everything's a-ok and I'm ready to start reading the manga again having not been able to afford much apart from food and other ...

Re: New Dragon Ball Fan

Finished Volume 6, wasn't too keen on Muscle Tower but Murasaki made me laugh as did the trip to the city. Next Volume looks to be intresting will read it soon.

And my review of the second arc will be up tonight.

Re: New Dragon Ball Fan

That'd be nice if Funi somehow released it on the exact day I finished. I'll probally finish the Dragon Ball Manga in about June or July if I space out every volume or arc. Then the Z Portion can last me till Christmas and then hopefully by the New Year the first box will be out.

Finished Volume 5 ...

Re: New Dragon Ball Fan

Started reading Volume 5, just finished the Goku vs Jackie fight. That was just epic but I knew Akira wouldn't kill off the hero but then again there are the Dragon Balls. Will post a review over the weekend of the arc and will go out later and buy Volumes 6 and 7 and VIZBIG3. I know it's kinda ...

Re: New Dragon Ball Fan

Yes I was talking about Volume 5, I assumed anything to do with the army would be action based.

And I live a while away from Manchester, I live near York.

Re: New Dragon Ball Fan

Had a peek at the blurb, looks like this is where action will take over for the most part. Not completley but perhaps the point where the first genre you'd assign it too is action.

Re: New Dragon Ball Fan

I live in the good old U.k home of fish n chips and bad weather :D

I don't think they have VIZBIG in the stores near me so I'll just buy online.

Re: New Dragon Ball Fan

Over here for Dragon Ball we have Gollancz Manga Volumes 1-7 (where I live) and everything else is viz, so I could buy Viz Big 3 and every one after that.

Re: New Dragon Ball Fan

I am planning to watch the Dragon Ball anime this weekend, just as soon as I've finished watching the current season of True Blood. Looking forward to it, especially the score which I've heard is excellent.

Please tell me I heard right.

Re: New Dragon Ball Fan

Finished Volume 4 (I knew I wouldn't mae it last), liking the final round cause the 2 fighters re more or less equally matched. Are these volumes edited (gollancz manga) or not? I heard Viz was editedbut I'm not too sure about these, they look pretty uncut to me.

Will try to save Volume 5, so I'm ...

Re: New Dragon Ball Fan

Part way through Volume 4, it looks like this is gonna get better for sure.

And when did you first get hooked on the series, I'd say for me it's somewhere in Volume 4.

Re: New Dragon Ball Fan

Liking the second arc, wonder if I did all that training I could jump that high? Luanch and Kurrin make me laugh, they're in my top 5.

And just a question:

What did you all think off the first arc?

Re: New Dragon Ball Fan

I'm glad you like it so far :). Just a few things I think that you may want to bare in mind is that when Akira Toriyama first started on the manga, he had no idea it was going to turn into this huge storytelling epic as we see it now. I believe he intended it to end after the Pilaf stuff, also the ...

Re: New Dragon Ball Fan

Instead of a Volume 1 Review, I'll just review the arc:

The arc review will cover my thoughts on the story of that arc and the characters as well as final thoughts. In future reviews I will comment on things like comedy and action cause I won't have a lot to talk about if I talk about that stuff ...

Re: New Dragon Ball Fan

Poor old Daisuke, that means they'll have to recast him in Kai. That's another reason to watch Z.

And Volume 1 Review will be up as soon as I've eaten.

Re: New Dragon Ball Fan

I'm gonna post Volume 1 review tommorow, done too much writing today (just wrote a One Piece fanfic) but I'll tell you the rating is 8.5/10.
