I'm sure the game is going to look a great deal different when it's actually released (or hits the beta stage for that matter). I'm a little concerned that there's been no word on this in North America yet, we better not get passed over for this.

Oh I know that, just making sure SonGokuGT knew too.

I'm looking forward to see how this project of yours turns out.

It doesn't matter whether he plans on distributing them for profit; Funimation reserves the rights to the english distribution of the show, and that covers public presentations. It's illegal for him to just take the series and hand it out, for the same reasons why it's illegal to copy a music CD to ...

In opposition to the Funimation boycott, for every person ETC123 harasses into not buying a box set, I will personally buy two. I mean, it's just so darn cheap and all. 8)

DNA, see Mike's post above. It plays like Double-Dragon or Streets of Rage, just a simple side scrolling beat-em-up. Advance Adventure was a lot more...advanced. Ba-dum-dum-shing! Bad enough that it was a poor game, but it was also an unfinished one. If you look in the unlockable game assets, you ca...

I don't believe that Gohan could possibly get any stronger than he already was, save for some kind of outside influence (like magic, or something external) I came to this conclusion when Majin Boo beat Gohan near to death, and then he was healed by Dende. When Gohan got back up Majin Boo made a poin...

I don't know if Funimation would choose to re-release the DBZ television specials in widescreen as some kind of movie box set, but I would hope so. Aside from the fact that they're not movies, the versions Funimation released look terrible on DVD, some of their worst work to date. I would gladly tak...

FUNimation has been doing the franchise since 1995. 12 years later, and they STILL can't get the entire series on DVD. 12 years later and they STILL can't please both sides of the fanbase. 12 years later and they STILL can't properly fix any errors they've made. They confused "ki" with &q...

Bra yes, Maron no. Bra was a half Saiyan, and the daughter of Vegeta no less. Since the entire Saiyan race were warriors you would think Vegeta would expect her to become strong as well, but like Rocketman said it was GT so she would've been useless anyways next to the almighty Goku.

I'm under the impression that Sparking Neo was a direct translation, with few to none actual script changes. Heck, they even pronounce the word "Tsuffle" instead of their official "Tuffle" reversioning.

I believe it would've been the same distance to travel; he would just spend it flying through Hell instead of the Serpentine Road. Over all I think the Serpentine Road would be much faster and safer.

The song you're looking for is called "Dark Half", the very last track in the Sound Select menu. And it sounds really Chrono Trigger-ish to me too. As it's only part of the North American release I doubt you'll find it in any official sound track.

That's an interesting question...Onio is certainly a saiyan (he says so himself) but what about his tail? I doubt Toriyama simply forgot; Z says right on the first page that squeezing his tail would do nothing, and that if the reader doesn't understand then he needs to go read more Dragonball. I'm w...

But didnt Gohan say that prior to the fight? Freeza wouldn't necessarily need to spend any great amount of time powering-up to reach his maximum since he was already in his final (now only) form. And aside from that, supposing Freeza was already at his full power when Gohan claimed that it was still...

I just assume that Freeza was at his full power when Trunks killed him. It's true that he wasn't beefed up or surrounded by Ki, but there's little point in stating Freeza's strength was greater than before if he didn't get the chance to use it.

I wonder if Funimation plans on doing any re-dubbing and hopefully re-writing for the Trunks saga. Not only because Eric Vale's Trunks voice has changed, but because the back and forth banter between Trunks and Freeza was so damn awful. On the other hand I did like Cold's voice, despite deviating fr...
