Re: What is the secret to the series' longevity?
I'll tell you what it is for me: nostalgia. It was the most popular thing at a time where I was a kid just happy on life. The mystique of it being Japanese and the US not getting a great representation complete with Stone Age internet made discussions about it fun. Some kids saw more of the Japanese...

Re: AB Video to release OG Dragon Ball on Blu-Ray
But you're not editing audio in the case. Add two video files: the DB Blu-ray and [insert DB release here], uncheck the non-BD video file, sync it up with a time code, and merge (or whatever it is). I've done this with the Japanese movie BDs to pretty good multiple audio track and subtitle results....

Re: Observation on Mayumi Tanaka's Krillin
I always found this kind of funny. Some vocal people made a big deal about Nozawa's portrayal of Goku as if it were such a crazy thing for a woman to voice a fully grown man, but nobody ever said a peep about Kuririn. I still see the "I can't stand Japanese Goku!" stuff on other forums, bu...

Re: How do you see Crunchyroll's growing monopoly on anime distribution affecting Dragon Ball?
Somehow manage to fuck up and give Hulu a mix of the Nicktoons edited for tv masters and the Home Video masters for Kai......how do you even do that?!? Are you sure about this one? It's not like I checked out all of Kai on Hulu, but I looked for two things: (1) Bardock's blood and scar were still t...

Re: What would you say are the most "complete/independent" Dragon Ball-productions?
Well, the first episode of Kai kind of sums up Dragon Ball. Even if Goku did marry his childhood sweetheart... It also kind of goes right into the whole "You're a Saiyan" thing. Otherwise, "Path to Power" is a nice one. It's really hard to condense so much in so little. The first...

Re: Overrated and Underrated voice actors
I would put Kirby Morrow at the top of the underrated list. I really wish that his stint as Goku was done in a serious way. Even though his Goku was way too raspy and deep when he'd make the Goku voice at cons and stuff, his performance in the actual series was really good.

Re: What's the deal with that one Battle of Gods moment?
To my recollection, Funimation didn't just translate for Kai and onward. They still made those into adaptations, so they took some liberties with the dialog. Even in Super Hero, where Piccolo calls Pan's teacher (?) "Janet." They just ad-libbed that. I don't know--these things don't really...

Re: Do you like Super?
Overall, I like the series. It's not some fans masterpiece--juat mindless, nostalgic entertainment. It's nice to see the cast and crew and see where the story progressed. At first, I was against Super, but now, I guess I just don't take it seriously. I can see what people don't like about it, but no...

Re: Which other timeskip could work as a midquel?
I don't think another gap could work quite like the one that Super chose. Every time gap that came before that one just had too much story after, so there is really a tiny little corner that they'd be painting themselves into. No new transformations, no radical power-ups, no need characters (unless ...

Re: Differences in the DBGT Funimation dub between the original single DVDs and the green bricks?
I didn't know this stuff. Aside from the original airing of the series in the US, I only really watched the dub once through the DB singles, orange bricks, and GT singles. Despite owning multiple releases, I wouldn't know jack all about the differences that aren't blatant such as video quality, lack...

Re: The idea of Redeeming Nappa. How do you feel about this?
I wouldn't see the point of something like this. Nappa served his storyline purpose. And there's nothing more to him than that. In fact, the same could be said for the rest of the Saiyan race that perished in the destruction of Planet Vegeta. Agreed. This idea of redeeming the Saiyans--including Ba...

Re: Saddest Pieces of Music in Dragon Ball.
To represent the Bruce Faulconer side of things (this has nothing to do with whether the music should have existed in the first place), the track called "Episodic Trunks" is pretty sad, especially in the second half. Maybe it's just because that's the music they used in that moment between...
