Re: Dragon Ball Movie 20 - Animation Hub

This movie is already looking far better than the entire Dragon Ball Super series, imo.

Where can I buy the DBZ-Mega Man Music CDs from?

This is a score that I quite grew fond to but even to this day I have no idea if it's available for purchase at Amazon/eBay/iTunes. Help?

Thanks.

Re: Transitioning to the Japanese version (Z or Kai?)

Dragon Ball Z and then Dragon Ball Kai. The original cast did an amazing job on their original runs of Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT but legally speaking you can't get clear audio from any of the official releases so if you'd want to hear it with non-muffled quality you'd have to go ...

Re: Dragon Ball Z Kai box sets

There are no boxsets though the closest to that by FUNimation are the Season BDs/DVDs, there is a catch. The Season sets have the replacement music so you'll be missing out on the original broadcast music by Kenji Yamamoto which you can get via Parts 1-4 but even then, you need to be careful since t...

Re: i think Akira's time is over with the Dragonball series

Of the 4 Dragon ball series the only one that you could objectively say is bad is the only one not written by Toriyama. I do not think that this is a coincidence. The other three are amazing(only the latter half for super but still) Something being 'poor' is subjective in all of its entirety. You m...

Re: i think Akira's time is over with the Dragonball series

Putting aside the comedic aspect of using solus the name "Akira," yes it could very well work. Toriyama isn't some brilliant director that most fans make him out to be as the kind of work he's done, any other could just as well and the various spin-offs of Dragon Ball media confirms that. ...

Re: Things that grind your gears

I don't know if this is cultural or what, but it always annoys me when I see people referring to Toriyama as just "Akira". As far as I've understood it, referring to an author by first name only is disrespectful, so you're supposed to write "Akira Toriyama" or "Toriyama&quo...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions

Yamamoto and Tokunaga rule, but the rest ? Nah. Kikuchi fits but it's not very good, outside of a couple tracks. Kind of strange you'd like Tokunaga's music but not Kikuchi considering GT's score was like an homage to the original DB-Z score by Shunsuke Kikuchi. But idc, not in the mood for a discu...

Re: Questions for people who grew up with the Westwood dub

Well, I didn't grow up with the Ocean Dub but I sure do love Z Episodes 1-53 and the Z Movies 1-3 dub however, everything else like Cell arc - Majin Boo arc? Pass. I think they only really did that "Ocean Dub 2.0" to get their paycheck because that's even worse than FUNimation's own old du...

Re: Bruce Faulconer or Shunsuke Kikuchi ?

Aside from a good few tracks from the FUNi Faulconer score, I prefer the original Kikuchi score as a whole instead. I don't mind listening to Faulconer's Super Boo theme (it's awesome) but I can't relate that to the actual DBZ series but rather as good music.

Re: What made you switch over to the Japanese version?

I got tired of crappy dubs so figured I'd just go with the original Japanese version instead and I love it more than any other version out there, well, maybe except Ocean Dub. :P I come from the European Portuguese That for some reason sounds so wrong to me (it kind of feels like self-censorship).

Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" dub seems to be coming...

I mean, I wouldn't call the original run a masterpiece. The acting was probably the best we've had in a Dragon Ball dub, especially in the case of the Pioneer movie dubs, but the scripts were messy, and the editing was iffy at times. The accuracy wasn't really something that bothered me, the qualit...

The best Faulconer tunes?

Being a fair person that I am, I've grown to like quite a lot Faulconer tracks that they (it was a group, not just Bruce) composed for FUNimation's Dragon Ball Z dub. My picks: - Dragon Ball Z Movie/Series Theme - Super Boo Theme - Super Saiyan 3 Goku Theme - Super Saiyan Vegeta Theme - Majin Vegeta...

Not expecting anything but at the same time I'll probably be disappointed because I'll end up comparing to the original Ocean Dub run which was quite simply, a masterpiece. But regardless, Ocean Dub Kai will be a must-see for me as a Kai/Ocean fan. I would have loved so much if Peter Kelamis had voi...

Re: Jiren is a better character now

This fanbase seems to have low standards these days it seems. We still don't know about his wish and the series is ending. His character is still bland and boring. If it is something as simple as wishing his family back then he'll remain a disappointing character forever. To me, Jiren is one of the...

Re: Question about the Pioneer LaserDisc Ocean Dub Movies 1-3

It's probably just your equipment; the LD uses the same master as the DVD, just without the DVD compression, since the LD uses an uncompressed digital audio track, so at the very least, it should sound the same. Don't think it's anything to do with what's on my end but the DVD version just sounds b...

Re: All-purpose Dragon Ball sale/trade thread.

$200 for Part 2 alone, for real? The Yamamoto score has risen its value, huh.

If anyone's okay with a different cover, just import the Manga UK Kai Season 1 Blu-ray/DVD and you'll get the same thing. Although, that is Region B so there's that.

Did you miss the part where Toonami Asia is getting shut down at the end of the month? No more episodes ordered = cancelled Well, Toonami Asia shutting down could mean the dub is getting cancelled but that's not what Bang Zoom! said themselves. It's not technically cancelled but indefinitely paused.

Re: When Dragonball returns in 2019 I hope they don't adapt the movie into episodes again

Dragon Ball Kai made a quick catch-up whereas Dragon Ball Super had two long ass seasons of movie stories which were really boring and dull to watch plus, it didn't help that Super's animation was underwhelming and the soundtrack was just about serviceable.
