FUNimation's treatment of Dragon Ball and the changes was considerably different from 4Kids. Like, not even within the same stratosphere. And I grew up watching Yu-Gi-Oh at the exact same time as I did watching Dragon Ball Z, so I don't know why you keep insisting on making this "Blinded by no...

Well, Superman's back story was basically Space Moses.

Minus was crap. Toriyama had an opportunity (albeit totally unnecessary) to expound on the stellar Father of Goku which he himself worked into canon. But instead gave us a Superman ripoff. What made FOG great was it showed that Bardock WASN'T special or different. He was just another low-level Saiy...

Funi didn't cut out episodes Wrong. They did, they just restored that material later when they redubbed the earlier seasons to sync up with Seasons 3 and beyond. And pretended the cuts never happened. And the most interesting thing about the redub? They still used the same basic script and screwed ...

It's definitely worth considering. The Buu arc isn't one of my favorites, but a version with less filler is welcomed, and I want to support Funimation's improving efforts in dubbing this material. I can't really bitch about the horrible English dub of DBZ, and then when presented with a better versi...

Looking back the Funimation dub of DBZ is far, far, faaaaaaaar superiour to the 4kids dub of One Piece. All of the characters (bar Freeza) had voices that suited them, unlike One Piece where dubbed Luffy had one of the most annoying voices of all time and don't even get me started on Sanji. Funimat...

It pretty much would have been exactly the same as how we got DBZ from Funimation, only no eventual "uncut" version. Guys, what 4Kids did to One Piece was only by a few degrees worse than what Funimation did to DBZ. Don't delude yourselves into thinking otherwise. They had just as little r...

No, it would make sense to hire Kikuchi to do new music, but they're just too cheap to do it. What's Kikuchi up to, anyway? Is he retired? I'd hate to ruin a guy's retirement, but wake him up! Shake him out of bed, put a pen in his hand, some music composition paper in front of him, and get him to w...

I adore the new OP and ED, but frankly the new BGM leaves me cold. It's pretty bland, either by composition or instrumentation, boring me to tears when I hear it.

Appreciated greatly!

I don't understand what a "Kai-ification" of a show that isn't based on a manga would entail. Why do so many people fail to recognize the purpose behind Kai?

Why must Goku's parents be special? Why must they be exceptional? Why can't they just be two of millions of bloodthirsty savages? If the Saiyans die and there are good ones, then their genocide is more of a tragedy. The reason we don't feel bad when Vegeta learns about Freeza killing them is because...

I probably should have been recording the International Channel broadcasts of the Japanese versions. But I think the VCR didn't tape off of certain channels that well.

I recorded it off of Cartoon Network. The English dub. With the Faulconer music. And the inaccurate scripts. And the horrendous voice acting. Taped it. Rewatched it. A week's worth of episodes marathoned at the end of the week, then recorded over with the next week's, unless they were particularly g...

I don't really understand the bitching about the footage quality. It's sharper and cleaner looking than before, without losing any detail or completely screwing up the colors. Maybe my standards are set low, but I think it's a bit much to compare it to the DVD Season Sets. I'm also satisfied with ho...

Hahaha, people still using traditional, terrestrial radio. Adorable.

Never speak of such evil.

I'm not saying they'd have to show it. It's a brutal, likely patriarchal, warrior race and culture. You do the math.

I hate to prefer something Toei did over something Toriyama himself did, since it seems so hypocritical of me, but both are outside the 42, so I'm comfortable expressing that the Bardock TV Special is so, so much better than Minus, it hurts. I prefer to think of Bardock as just another low-class Sai...

I hope Cold Skin doesn't mind me mining those pictures for avatars.
