The fact that they went with cropped widescreen for TFC/Kai 2.0 on both fronts was a weird decision on Toei's part, especially being that with Kai 1.0 the widescreen TV broadcast version in Japan was limited to the individual DVD volumes while the BD boxes were the proper 4:3 presentation, and over...

So, are the masters they used for these new streaming and BD releases all new scans of the films or are they simply HD converts of the 16mm scans they already had released previously i.e. Dragon Box: The Movies in 2006 and the individual DVDs in 2008-2009 respectively? They are either new scans (mo...

M3- Makafushigi Daiboken/The Mystical Great Adventure/Mystical Adventure: Decent partial combing of the Red Ribbon Army and 22nd Budokai eras, although this one doesn't entirely fit into the anime's continuity it functions well enough as a sort of alternate timeline type of story. Ten's and Chiaotz...

Here's my encapsulated take having already watched all four of them numerous times M1- Densetsu no Shenlong/The Legend of Shen Long/Curse of the Blood Rubies: Overall a good retelling of the first arc of the series only with Pilaf, Shu and Mai substituted with an original villain. It hits most of th...

Yes, but he's referring to the quality of Z footage. Kai is the best release of any Z footage to date. It's not that hard to figure out what he means. Dragon Ball Kai looks really nice in high definition but the best Z looks so far? Subjective. Some would still rather prefer the Dragon Box Z with c...

Well, comedy is generally harder to translate. The guys who did Viz's version of the Dr. Slump manga basically had to write all-new jokes roughly approximating the equivalent kind of jokes from the original Japanese. That's generally the case when translating things from Japan, be it manga or anime...

Which stands to reason. I've read that comedies don't do well overseas, whereas action has an easier time gaining an audience regardless of where it's from.

The fighting/martial arts component comprises a good chunk of the overall story, but there definitely is more to it than just that alone. Much more prevalent especially earlier on is the sense of adventure and traveling, including such things as Bulma's quest with Goku in the first arc to locate th...

Got this bad boy from my local used game store in the last couple of days, and so my DB game collection is growing slowly but surely.

I was born in late July of 1994, so let's see what was going on in the Dragon Ball universe with regard to both the manga serialization and anime broadcast at that point in time. Manga: My birth fell during the break in Chapter 480, "The Fusion is Completed at Last!!" and 481, "The Ea...

Finally decided to post up some pics of parts of all the Dragon Ball stuff i own, and while it may not be quite as extensive as some of the other awesome collections in this thread it's still a respectable collection for what it is. I have been working on this since late 2010 with mostly here and th...

Hello, my name is SuperSaiyaManZ94 and i just recently joined the forum so i wanted to share with ya'll how i discovered this place as an introduction. My awareness of the site started in about mid to late 2010 when i was still in high school, as this was around the same time when Dragon Ball Z Kai ...
