Is it me or does this set just look like the singles in 'wide' screen Not just you, I thought the same thing when I watched the youtube clip. Though a little oversaturated, I must say this set is looking good. Hell if that's the case I might just might buy this cause I've got the ultimate soft spot...

As far as this seems this is probably gonna be like a Mobile Suit Gundam movie. Except that the series itself is doable in 100 episodes. I just hope that nothing really gets rushed or stuff that was important in the original series gets cut is my only problem.

Some can call it closed-minded but where I come from men sound like men and women sound like women. The cartoons, television shows and movies I grew up on the heroes sounded like males.

Exactly, just look at the SSJ2 transformation scene in Japanese. Like the song or not it was a big deal to have an insert song along with that footage. I could just imagine how cool it would be to have a confident yet enraged sounding insert song for Goku's SSJ transformation. Umm but what the hell...

No, no, no, no. I'm sorry, but I didn't get the same feeling as I do with Faulconer's music in that scene. I agree. Faulconer's music made it seem like something was really being achieved. I love the Japanese score but this is another case where I felt they choose an awkward track to go along with ...

I've always found that fans of the Japanese version get upset when people say Goku sounds like a girl, and I've never understood that. He is voiced by a women who is making no attempt to sound like a male, so of course Nozawa's performance may come off as feminine. The ways I've seen that phrase ab...

Failing? I think the sales charts would contest to that. Yep people buy into it and that's how it is. And I've got a question for fans of the Japanes: where do you come off on saying that Dragonball Z isn't an action anime? I mean seriously..... seriously , you can't honestly try to tell me it isn'...

I think I'm in the same boat with some other people about Nozawa not sounding like a woman, though after I found out I kinda was like, "yeah that makes since" but I left it there and didn't care since I liked how she was doing. I watched parts of DB in Japanese before anything Z so hearing...

I was taking about this earlier with a friend but somehow I've never been able to get used to Yamaguchi's voice outside of Usopp....I mean I'd hate it if he stopped voicing Usopp because to me he's the one and only voice that can ever be Usopp. Thing is I've heard him outside of One Piece and it jus...

I'll agree with everybody else One Piece is pretty much Dragon Ball's brother. I can't really speak for Naruto but I see more resemblance in tone toward Dragon Ball than anything. Other than One Piece being a a lot more comedic than Dragon Ball and the tone is much more consistent throughout the man...

And calling Dragon Ball "unoriginal" is, quite frankly, ridiculous. It was completely fresh and new in its time, and that's why it still influences so many manga and anime today, some such as One Piece and Naruto VERY, VERY STRONGLY. Just because you watched the FUNimation dub of Dragon B...

Not to go against the thread but I really do like the anime more than the manga in Dragon Ball's case unlike post-God Enel One Piece. Even with the extensions and the filler I've never seen it as a big deal since the story was still being told but at a slower pace. Could the filler have been done be...

How have you been teaching yourself? Are you able to read the text or watch the show without much extra help? I've been teaching myself for the last year and a half.

lol, yeah I do. Funnily enough the only DB DVDs I ever bought were Piccolo Jr. Part 2, Tournament Saga and the Red Ribbon saga. And stupidly I sold the Piccolo Jr. Part 2 sometime last summer because I needed the money.
