I'm just really scared FUNi isn't going to license it. I mean, as far as the general American public is concerned, they already did this with the season sets. FUNi's buildup on their own "HD" crap has severely damaged the chances of this being licensed, especially if nothing is technicall...

TWO THINGS: 1) This is how Toei can protect the franchise from the live action film. It's a brilliant move that doesn't insult the feature's negative buzz (don't blame me, Google it, people), but elevates the source materials. Amazing business savvy. 2) 100 episodes could very easily contain all of ...

Other than the end of the series (Goku leaving with Uub), the moment that really nailed me when I first saw it was Gohan's SSJ2 transformation. The amazing BGM, 16 getting crushed, and the snowball of emotions from what's come before... Goku putting Gohan up to fight with no regard, Piccolo's anger ...

All in all, it's a fine sub. Nothing too damaging, no major typo's. This is better than a lot of fansubs, and ENGLISH-SPEAKERS GOT IT LEGALLY THE SAME DAY AS JAPANESE. I just don't understand what more we could ask for (other than it streaming better for the masses, obviously). I mean, if this is th...

I was surprised, but it was a pleasant surprise. I mean, it is so well done, and it feels more respectful to the whole of the series.

Game Boy Advanced Dragonball-- Where to start?

I'm well behind in the world of handhelds, having just nabbed myself a Gameboy Advance. Obviously I need to have SOMETHING Dragonball/Z in my arsenal, but I don't know where to start. Looked at a lot of reviews, but Dragonball is so decisive I find that some reviewers flunk a title simply for being ...

Anyone played Burst Limit? I was playing it with subs and it said subbed "9000".... and I wondered if it was a mis-sub or what... but was too lazy to go back and listen while sitting there attempting to translate.

My wife is a Christmas-planning freak. She gets half of her Christmas shopping done before September's done. Now, my quest is to figure out how to top a Toriyama... of Piccolo, no less.

Okay. So, talked to the wife, and yes, Christmas is spoiled (or, I prefer to look at it as, "came in July"). As to the piece's authenticity. When I first clicked on the piece, I immediately (before it was pointed out here who the winner was and realizing that was my wife) thought that it w...

Just curious; anyone else out there who "doesn't"/"didn't" want more backstory? I think that's one of the things that has always worked really well about Dragonball is the right amount of "vague". I love the fact that a character like Piccolo, for example, at the beginn...

Goku's "dong" is two squiggly little lines. Bulma has fully-visible, well-drawn, post-pubescent boobies. As far as censorship is concerned, it's like videotaping your toddler in the bathtub compared to making a homemade porn tape. I'm sorry, what? Bulma is two swoops and two little circle...

God, why did they add bubbles to her butt? So wait Goku's dong is fine but Bulma's ass isn't? Viz is making as much sense as Funi. Honestly, this has come up in the media for the US before-- Dennis Franz's butt on NYPD Blue wasn't as big a deal as a female butt because, and this is terrifying, the ...

The demo was great... the "animation" style is the best yet, and it was just fun to play. I like the fact that the moves are getting progressively "easier"-- as opposed to having to do a mid-air dance to pull off a move, Raditz shot a ki blast, and I Kamehameha'd right back. The ...
