I second Dragon Ball needing the Speed Racer treatment or nothing.

Has he ever written in as "Klylyn"? I remember "Kuririn" and "Kulilin" from the manga, but that's all. Maybe "Klylyn" never appeared in the manga, but I know it's shown up on some merchandise. Regardless, it's fairly evident that Toriyama never really cared o...

Are you shitting me? Not a single person so far has Movie 7 in their top 3. I'm actually kind of curious why you like it. Not an insult or anything. For me, I don't enjoy it because it's the absolute epitome of "Characters fight! The story does not exist!!" that the movies become. And whi...

Don't really care for most of the movies. Forty-five minutes of plotless fighting, no matter how well-animated, is a snoozer. Here are the ones I can still kind of enjoy: 5. DBZ Movie 1 - This one can actually get away with forty-five minutes of plotless fighting because of how gorgeous it is. This ...

By contrast, a scene that somewhat failed on this was the Goku vs. Jackie Chun fight in the anime, where it's perfectly daylight. Then Goku knocks Jackie down, and when he gets up, we're suddenly full red sky sunset out of nowhere! This also hilariously happens in the Super 17 vs. Goku fight. When ...

I assumed he was using the term "OVA" because it's been misdefined by properties like Hellsing, which do have entire DVD-only series spanning the plot of the manga.

"Klylyn."

Just saying.

It's like the argument of how 'Table' is a better pun than 'Tarble.' Both are puns! As long as it's a mispelling of the word 'Freezer' that sounds like 'Freeza,' then it's still arguably viable (provided the transliteration is a possible one, of course). This. It's a pun. It's already a bastardizat...

I really don't know how to say it any nicer than that, because maybe some of this will sink in. Dr. Brief's name is a literal name, based on the English word "brief". Katakana is used to take foreign words and integrate them into Japanese, so that the Japanese know how to pronounce them. ...

Homeless man: But... couldn't I have a cheeseburger instead? Castor: Don't be stupid. This is the Dragon Box, the best home release of DBZ ever! Much better than a cheeseburger! Homeless man: But I don't have a television. Castor: Just cuddle the box when you sleep at night. See ya! *zip* That's to...

Largely because the fanbase went ten years or so without knowing what the hell the name was supposed to be a pun on. Same reason you see Thousar referred to as "Sauzer" a lot. I was just being facetious, because those are fair points for reverting to those spellings. But for the sake of a...

That's a plot contrivance, not a contradiction. It's no more out of left field than Buu. Or countless other ridiculous things that were never revealed until it was convenient.

The reason why ヒルデガーン (Hirudegaan) becomes Hildegarn is because "r"s can be swapped out for "l"s when transliterating. But you totally lose the pun of Hirudegarn's name being based on Toei staff member Hiruta! I mean, just because you can swap an "l" for an "r,&qu...

You're right in saying that "Blooma" conveys the pun better but one of the reasons why I and so many other DB fans use "Bulma" is because it's the spelling used by Toriyama and pretty much every single piece of merchendise, both in the US and Japan. I was kidding. If fans are go...

So I say, if you spell it as "Fr i eza", then based on that same logic, you must now use "Breef". It's only fair, right? I'm going to go ahead and (very calmly, and only for the sake of debate) say that you could choose either "Breef" or "Brief," because once...

Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you should. I COULD quit school to try and play video games professionally, but It is a lot more logical to no do so. Just as it is more logical to just follow the pun, rather than spend time justifying white "ie" is equivalent to "ee&qu...

In England Luke Skywalker is still Luke Skywalker, even a British dub calls the character Lewis Divingstar. Oh, come off it. There's a huge difference between outright changing a name (for instance, 'H'ercule and T'i'en are unacceptable) and romanizing it differently. If you want to get right down ...

GT cannot be canonical to anything, same with the movies because for one they don't fit the timeline well at all and secondly they contradict MAJOR things. There's so much wrong with this statement and your basic understanding of the word and concept of canon, I can't even touch it. And I'd love fo...

Tenshinhan; The second tallest Z soldier This is easily the most distinctive thing about Tenshinhan. When I first saw Tenshinhan, I was like "Fuck! That guy is, like, second tallest or something!" http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/iansacks/ten.png "Bitch, please..." Also, t...

Pretty funny to see these again now. I actually have every Beckett Dragon Ball Z Quarterly stuffed in a cabinet somewhere in my house, or at least I did last time I checked. When I'm home for the summer, maybe I'll give them all a once over and see if there's anything else worth scanning. Oh, and I ...
