Re: How Much is TOO Much for a Daizenshuu?
I think more than $15-20 is too much unless you're decent/fluent in Japanese. I mean, I can't picture myself spending more than that on something I can't do anything with except look at the pictures. But then wouldn't that be an issue of how much you're personally "willing" to pay versus ...

Re: Pronouncing the "Toei" in "Toei Animation"
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the name 東映 Tōei come from 東京映画 Tōkyō Eiga (Tokyo Films, Tokyo Pictures, etc.)? Perfect example. Follow the pronunciation of "eiga" which is "e~ga" and not "ey.ga" Or better yet watch the beginning of this clip and listen closely to...

Re: Pronouncing the "Toei" in "Toei Animation"
I read it as "Toh-ay." Does that sound about right? I think so, but English is stupid for trying to spell out pronunciations. The "To" is like the word "toe," and IIRC it comes from the first part of "Tokyo." The "ei" is like the word "eh"...

Re: How Much is TOO Much for a Daizenshuu?
I guess it depends on the volume and the place your getting them from... You can get vol. 2 from kinokuniya for about $30 and I got vol. 4 [$12] and vol. 7 [$18] from book-off I think $55 sounds pretty high, but I'm not surprised to be honest [I've seen vol.7 going for over $100 O_O on ebay] So If I...

Re: Vegeta's character and popularity
Have you guys seen this? I think they did a good job of summing up some of Vegeta's internal turmoil. I think he's such a complex character it's be impossible to discern why he did or didn't so something. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CIlQVOzGq8 I think he's a character capable of loving and carin...

Re: Blaze's 508 Episiode Journey (Episode 1!)
Seeing how heated the argument got over whether he should be watching it subbed or dubbed... I cant help but wonder, what would happen if he doesn't like the series? What if one day he's like "Stoopid show!" bashes the crap out of it and declares it a bunch of bull. I think everyone would ...

Re: Taking a break from Dragon Ball.
I wouldn't say I "took" a break, I think it just happened naturally. I never lost interest I just continued on watching/reading whatever got my attention next. I was really into the mighty 3 during the late 90's [Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, Saint Seiya] and once they were over I knew I'd alw...

Re: What's your most recent Dragonball purchase?
Banpresto's super big figure size line: It has Goku, SSJ Goku, SSJ Vegetto. I know there are more but I'm not sure if they are with this line or separate. All the other characters under the Banpresto line are from different series [HQDX, HSCF, DX etc...]. Only those 3 have been released under the S...

Re: Why did Vegeta need to have his nap time?
No reason at all, Krillin and Gohan arrived on Namek on the SAME DAY!!!!
They didn't sleep either, so why is he so tired, it's beyond me...
In fact it seems out of character. Why would he let his guard down, when he knows Freezer might appear any minute?

Here they don't have them either, but you can order it from them. It comes to $18~ give or take. I don't know how easy it is to order online, but if you can go to one of their stores it's really easy.
