Re: Did DBZ Need More Sense of Loss?

A common flaw brought up about DBZ is how the Dragon Balls pretty much undo every single thing that was killed/destroyed by a villain, causing there to be no real sense of loss or tragedy. Do you think DBZ needed more actual loss, or would you prefer it didn't? Dragonball has a strong sense of loss...

Re: So MLP Just Went DBZ....

IMO, it's actually better than DBZ's fights.
Stopped reading there. I can't take this seriously.

RE: IIMaxII I never said you weren't allowed to play Devil's advocate, but that doesn't preclude me from challenging it. But you didn't really answer my question at all or address anything I said. You're still going on about the odd, non-literal translation choices they made that also happen to go ...

Re: Viz's Print Edition of the "Full Colour Comics" Discussi

I am in no way upset by the translations, I just think it's idiotic to not use more "Funimation friendly" terms. The hardcore fans I.E. us, are not the target audience, you have to think in perspective from a business standpoint. A few things I'd like to say in reference to your points. O...

Re: Viz's Print Edition of the "Full Colour Comics" Discussi

I would say it's out of laziness, any other excuse that they come up with is absurd. I wouldn't say Roshi was toned down, but that Dragonball Z became a more serious show with new main characters. Whenever we actually did see Roshi he was doing something sexual, although I believe most of those ins...

Re: Viz's Print Edition of the "Full Colour Comics" Discussi

As a fan of the Funimation Dragonball Z dub, these censorships and different translations are really annoying to me. All my friends who have watched the original Funimation dub will be confused when they read Kakarotto instead of Kakarot, Vegerot instead of Vegito, and Chi instead of Ki. Also Djinn...

Re: Dragon Ball Kai: the true remake is possible to happen?

I like the old style much better, the new style looks way too modern and flashy...which I think is what they were going for...It just looks too clean, imo.

Re: Why didn't Akira Toriyama just introduce Gogeta instead?

I feel as if the way Gogeta is portrayed is that he is more Goku than Vegeta, while they way Vegito is portrayed is that he's more Vegeta than Goku. I'm saying this because, Gogeta is portrayed more as a silly person, while Vegito is portrayed as more cocky. Although it's a tossup since both fusions...

Re: Future Trunks and the Buu problem.

Before anyone brings it up I know that there was a game that was about this idea but I'm talking about what would have actually have happened for real in that timeline. Clearly if Babidi had shown up on Earth it wasn't the same year he did in the main timeline. However for simplicity's sake and say...

Re: Best Format for Music?

I normally use lossless files for listening in the car because I have a really good system, but for listening via headphones or in ear monitors less than $500 you don't really need Apple Lossless, FLAC, or WAV. 256kbps AAC is Perfect. AAC is higher quality than MP3 at a lower bitrate, there's also O...

Re: Could Ultimate Gohan use Kaio-ken?

Now that you mention it, I kind of wish all the human Z fighters and Gohan knew Kaioken.....would be pretty cool to see them more useful in the series.
