I know it is frustrating to see Dragon Ball treated in such a subpar manner... but I think this way of thinking is INCREDIBLY selfish. People here are saying "Oh the people who want Dragon Ball to be popular are just atention whores who want THEIR franchise to be the most popular thing.The fra...

That's just it, it always comes down to "well it looks nice" when it comes to both the box art and the pictures of the characters. In my defense though, unlike other anime and series in general I can at least guarantee I'll always rewatch Dragon Ball and check out a different release ever...

The standard Complete Series of Super from Manga UK. https://static.thcdn.com/images/large/original//productimg/1600/1600/12695145-2644832980035582.jpg I already have the deluxe collector's edition, but I sold the digipacks from it, so it will mean I'll still only own all of Super twice, as I'm usi...

I for one wouldn't sacrifice the popularity of the franchise. Its had such a positive impact on the lives of the many fans, which obviously wouldn't have been as widespread had it not become popular. There's been stories of people who literally turned their lives around after watching DB. That's not...

Zavvi.com are selling the UK 4:3 blu-rays for £15 each, although a couple have sold out already. Amazon UK also had some of them at that price last time I checked. Also HMV are selling the Z movies/specials blu-ray boxset for £23. And the new Crunchyroll Amazon exclusive set of the 16:9 blu-rays is ...

Funimation's early dubs have always been criticised on this forum, but GT's dub in particular seems to get a lot of hate. While I'm a big Faulconer fan and have come to appreciate Kikuchi, I was always pretty indifferent to Menza. It's just a very bland score outside of a couple of tracks, and I str...

I'm actually surprised to hear GT underperformed on Nicktoons. Didn't it historically perform well in the US? I know it did better than OG DB, which also seemed to be the case in the UK as GT got more reruns. Perhaps people were put off by Nicktoons effectively skipping the Buu saga. Going into GT w...

I remember hoping Final Chapters would air on Kix in the UK after Kai 1.0, but it never happened for some reason. The TFC dub was complete for years before it finally made its debut on Toonami US in 2017. We know for a fact that an edited version of that dub exists, but Kix had already stopped their...

Ideally there would be no piracy because it doesn't support anyone involved in the production of the series and its dubs. However we don't live in an ideal world, and there are cases where we can't support certain products, such as the Westwood and Blue Water dubs, which have not been legally avail...

It's strange that this particular version of the movie was even a thing. Like why randomly dub movie 3 and turn it into a 3 part episode, when it clearly has no connection to the main story? Still I do enjoy this version for Corlett's performance and the Ron Wasserman score. It's good that the Rock ...

Another thing to consider is SS4. It would have felt a bit of a waste to introduce a new form for just that one fight. For a lot of people it represents the turning point were GT finally "got good". The writers have said they intentionally went back to a more action focused approach around...

I can see what you mean about the Baby saga wrapping up the events that began with Goku being turned small again. It ends with him making the choice to stay that way, although he can still technically reverse it by going SS4. But it did at least slightly foreshadow the Shadow Dragons. It ends with a...

While we're on the Androids arc, I'll bring up my opinion that Super Android 13 was a cool movie. It was full of action with not much plot, but since it's about murderous Androids with the only goal to kill, you shouldn't be in there for the plot anyway. But, that argument has been used often, so w...

Unlike Toriyama who deliberately made Goku lose fights for story purposes, Toei always seemed to fear him being perceived as anything other than the best. Like they were worried kids would think less of him for losing or being surpassed. A big example of this is the old Z movies, where he defeats th...

I feel like many of the complaints against Kai's dub are nitpicks from people who were never going to give Funimation credit. It's a mostly sincere attempt to be accurate to the original. Like there are some bits here and there that are slightly different, but none of it feels in poor taste. And the...

Someone already mentioned Kakarot. The GBA titles are also a solid option. Advanced Adventure goes from Pilaf to King Piccolo, and the LoG trilogy covers all of Z (although the 1st game cuts corners, it covers most of the major events). GT Transformation also goes as far as Baby. This just leaves th...

Turns out, when you actually base your adaptation on the source material instead of stripping it of everything that made the source material memorable and successful, you get a good show out of it. Who could have guessed? Yes, Dragon Ball absolutely could work in live action, especially if the peop...

I remember some of the Saiyaman ones being harder to find. I could be wrong but I think they were the last to be released. The release order for the singles was weird.

Super only ended 5 years ago. I can't imagine anyone wanting to see it remade. As for GT, the most I could see them doing is incorporating stuff like SS4. I guess a remake of the Shadow Dragon saga might work, as the idea of the Dragonballs having consequences has always made sense. Especially now t...

I've always liked Budokai more than Tenkaichi, but both were awesome in their own way during the great PS2 era. 2002-2008 was a great time to be a DB gamer, with the majority of the games being solid. I remember being really pleasantly surprised when Infinite World got announced in 2008. We'd had 3 ...
