Re: Better Sound Quality for Original DBZ?
You could spend days/hours with someone who was entrusted with this audio and eventually he'll give you an offer you can't refuse. Kei's trust in this total douche was bought, I'm not afraid to expose this individual. People like Derek Padula (who want an official release) have known for well over a...

Re: When DBZ aired in the UK
Just for reference sake, and to add to my previous timeline of UK DBZ. Imperfect Cell Saga aired September 3rd 2001: [spoiler] https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/264156043355881472/374206291427590153/ScanImage_034668.png [/spoiler] Boo Saga aired April 8th 2002: [spoiler] https://cdn.discordap...

Re: Dragon Ball Z UK Magazine Game Reviews
Wow! Thank you for this post you've sent me down memory lane here. I didn't have any comic book stores nearby, but did get some of those figurines from Argos back in the day. That Cell promo picture you found, where did u locate it. I've never seen that image before. Also it has a actual date for wh...

Re: Dragon Ball Z UK Magazine Game Reviews
I didn't have much Dragon Ball stuff. So a magazine with Goku's face on the cover was a small treasure for my 7 year old self. I didn't even own a Ps2 or Gba until years later. But that's what it was like being a fan in the UK for me, we didn't have many figures or merchandise so whatever I found I ...

Dragon Ball Z UK Magazine Game Reviews
I was digging through some old stuff when I discovered a magazine dating back to December 2002. It includes reviews for Budokai 1 and The Legacy of Goku. I sent these over to Kanzenshuu to be submitted to the press archive. I'll post it here for anyone who wants to see them too. Magazine Cover for G...

Re: Does the franchise/fandom pre-2013 (pre Beerus and Super) now feel like a distant memory?
One Piece airs at the same time yet is just as serious as it's always been. What makes Super different from before is that the original 2 anime were based on a manga that was made to tell a story, Super is made to sell merchandise. The original manga was also made by one person while Super has mult...

Re: Does the franchise/fandom pre-2013 (pre Beerus and Super) now feel like a distant memory?
I have always felt that Super lacked the atmosphere and seriousness that it's predecessors had. It's most likely that Super airs on a Sunday at 9am in a time where Japan doesn't show as much violence and gore to children like it did when DBZ aired. I thought Super would eventually get that same feel...

Re: Bizarre DBZ TV spot from Japan (1993)
It does have a similiar feel to the Super Butoden 2 commercial. Especially with the mountain terrain and the explosives in the background. Does anyone know the song that is playing in this bizzare TV spot? Also how did you come across this TV spot again?

Not sure if anyone has seen this. A YouTube channel has posted some original broadcast clips of DBZ but dubbed in Spanish. Here is a comparison clip for the colours of the episodes compared to their "Original" footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1RAp-47_1Y Some of the airings of DBZ ...

Re: Will Toei/Pony Canyon do a Blu-ray release?
It sucks that we will never get that really definitive DBZ release. I don't know if this had any correlation, but it's pretty funny how Funimation go and "remaster" DBZ with their orange bricks and just a couple of years later, here's Toei with their own remaster (Kai). I don't know if on...

Re: Will Toei/Pony Canyon do a Blu-ray release?
Sailor Moon was released on Blu-Ray despite Sailor Moon Crystal being released, so I think Kai being a fill-in for Z isn't a plausible explanation for why they haven't released DBZ on Blu-Ray yet. Wasn't the Sailor Moon Blu-ray just an upscale? Anyway, it's not the same thing. Kai isn't a different...

Re: Will Toei/Pony Canyon do a Blu-ray release?
You know what kind of gets me? Lots of people are so sure that they'd release it. "It's inevitable." "It'll happen." Will it? That is exactly why I want to know if they will or not. It is such a shame that they made mistakes on the Dragon Boxes with the colour correction and fra...

Will Toei/Pony Canyon do a Blu-ray release?
Recently I was listening to the DBZ Level 1.1 review on the podcast. Mike mentioned that Funimation may have released the Blu-ray sets in a way to one up everyone else. To kind of say "We did it first". So now that it has been almost 6 years since the first American Blu-ray release of Drag...
