Oh, well that was a note to fans saying that he no longer accepts mail from them even though he did in the past. Understandable.

Re: Official "Show off your Dragonball Crap" Thread

Howdy! I'd be surprised if anyone here remembers who I am, but I thought you guys might be interested in this and this seemed like the most appropriate topic for it. Not sure though so feel free to move it. This summer I was in Nagoya for a couple days and my mother's cousin's wife just mentioned ra...

Yeah, I feel like they may have done that in the anime just to make the breakup more believable which is understandable, but I still didn't like it. In the manga Yamucha was always portrayed as a really straightforward guy, I mean, he was even afraid of women at first. Nothing was even implied befor...

Not that I don't have a soft spot for Linkin Park, but it's hardly "fresh" or "relevant" at this point in time, and it would never suit DB in a million years.

I really liked this week's ep. I was especially in love with the scene where Gokuh finally returns to Earth and jumps off Kami's temple, that instrumental Dragon Soul really does the trick. I too felt that the narration wrapping up the episode over Piccolo taking the force of Nappa's blast was a lit...

Re: Genre changing?

I hear a lot of people talk about how Dragonball changed genre of manga? I am not even sure what this means, is it talking as far as the action [fighting scenes]? Thanks for any help or sources. Sorry, I can't really tell if you're asking how DB changed the shonen genre of manga or how DB changed g...

In the final battle with Majin Buu, more characters are seen helping with the Genki Dama in the anime, than in the manga. I loved that scene I think I'd prefer that, too. I was always disappointed when I found out that #17's bulky clothing was because it was originally supposed to be Lunch. Wait......

This looks pretty sweet. If it's anything like Advanced Adventure I'll probably love it to death, this makes me excited to own a Wii again. I also enjoy that little Gokuh finally looks like 80's little Gokuh and not like the mutated Gohan he's always been in the budoukai games etc.

As much as I love OP, I can't help but feel a little sad...er, I don't know if that's the right word. Dragonball has always been to me the finest example of what a shonen should be and what most shonen manga of today aspire to, and I suppose it still is even now that it's been beaten in sales, but i...

So, I finally got the chance to sit down and watch episode 3. I thought it was pretty sweet for the most part, especially since this is the first real action episode we've gotten. While I do enjoy me some good old fashioned choppy DB fight animation, smoother is nice too, but I agree with most of yo...

I was drawn into it simply by the craziness of the Dragonball world. I mean you have dinosaurs and fururistic technology coexisting, and a whacked out afterlife with snake roads and mini planets. Everything about it just seems so imaginative compared to a lot of manga, and that world just kept on ex...

Because he has to withdraw and is ...

Yeah, back in the day I used to hate Vegeta with a fiery passion. Now I just like making fun of him for being a total ass. So a time when I thought he was alright? I thought it was pretty cool of him to buy Gokuh some time for the Genki Dama by fighting Kid Buu, not to mention the speech he made to ...

I hate your posts dude(Tenshinhan-san). They are all overly negative and almost as if you are attacking the other posters. You also, and some other people on here, appear to have very narrow vision, as if that one segment of the movie when Goku complains about not having friends and wanting to be n...

Well, the Dragon Ball world does have a lot in common with ours. Funny where Upa lives, for example. Or that Bulma is from the "Western Capital". I know what you're saying and actually I enjoy a lot of Toriyama's strong references to cultures in our world, but seriously, I really doubt th...

First of all, I think this is a pretty bad idea for a topic considering the mess that racial topics usually are, and secondly, I don't think that in an unrealistic manga that doesn't even take place in our world like Dragonball you would really be able to pin down a race for each and every character...
