Re: Viewing Order

Shameless plug. "When should I watch the movies and specials?" is a question we get a lot on /r/DBZ, so this list was made to answer that question. It's really nothing special; it tells you between what episodes and chapters each movie/special came out, so if you're interested in watching...

Probably in the ballpark of $600 for the set.

Re: Is EVERYTHING Dragon Ball ‘Z' to you?

Since the series really is just Dragon Ball , that's the name I try to use when talking about it. Admittedly to do so runs the risk of confusing whomever you're talking to and you might have to spend time clarifying that you mean the series as a whole instead of the pre-Z anime, and the only payoff ...

Re: Why do so many people prefer DBZ to DB?

I find it's more often the opposite actually. Fans love OG Dragon Ball's charm and more choreographed fighting style over Z's (or technically mid-to-late Dragon Ball if we're discussing the manga) storytelling-fighting combination. If the general public does like Z more than DB, it's most likely bec...

Re: Toriyama non-DB works

I understand and accept that Kanzenshuu doesn't have the resources to manage another subforum right now. I hope that changes in the future, and suspect that this will be the case. It's obvious that Kanzenshuu's community is why we want to have these discussions here. Nowhere else on the internet wil...

Re: Was the Saiyan arc the perfect ending for Dragon Ball?

There's no way the Saiyan arc as it was written would have been a fitting end for Dragon Ball . It stands above all other arcs as being the one that best leads into the next. 1) You have Vegeta and Nappa name-dropping Piccolo's species, 2) They eventually say not to worry about keeping Piccolo alive...

Re: Color misunderstanding

My first guess would be that, much like Namekian blood and Vegeta's original armor coloring, they guessed wrong when first choosing a color and then decided to correct it to what Toriyama used later on. We don't see Freeza's aura color in the manga or special illustrations. http://i.imgur.com/QVU0r...

Re: How would you feel if Funimation only used dubnames as s

I would hate it, obviously, and I'd stop supporting their products as much as possible, turning instead to piracy if a competent, proven subtitling group was around. If that wasn't possible I'd probably teach myself the basics of subtitling my own DVD rips. I mean, if it was just the names of attack...

I dig Chuquita's sig. Don't know if that's exactly how it went down in the original, but fuck it, it's cool. Piccolo: Listen...in the instant he moves to attack...he's open...

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

Two things are funny about that scene.

1) #17 was just shot in the face by that old man only one page ago. (#17 even reaches for his gun.)

2) Somehow it's better that he bashed his fucking skull in instead.

Interesting to note that the DVD is Region 2. Hope you have a player that can region change. Computer should be able to do it but many laptops these days lack an optical drive. I've had multi-region players for years. A good one these days is the Seiki 4K upconverting unit available from Kmart, Ama...

I was double checking Dragon Ball Episode #071 for, uh... reasons, and noticed that "nose" is misspelled as "noise". Kuririn pulls down Bulma’s clothes when the timing is right, and blood shoots from Kame-Sen’nin’s noise once he sees Bulma’s chest! And as far as wording goes, I'd...
