Re: Dragon Ball Z - No plot or character development?
Just wanted to add my 2 cents here. I'm 27. I love this show. And I try to just enjoy it and not overthink it. Plot vs. Narrative: Now: as a story , it's pretty "out there". Sometimes there are patterns to be noticed, and it may get (at times) a bit repetitive. But, in terms of "plot&...

Re: Dragon Ball Z "Season One" Coming To Blu-Ray (Updated 10
Whatever. I'll get the blu rays for two reasons: 1. Want to hear the Japanese track in 5.1 Stereo (it's not 6.1, but it's leagues ahead of the Mono track on DVD) 2. Blu Rays can last you 60 years. DVDs are too unpredictable. I take care of all of my DVDs, and inexplicably some of my Dragon Box dvds ...

Re: Battle of Gods licenses
I'm of the opinion that Toei's asking price for the film is more than what Funimation's willing to pay. As I wrote before, the company that bought the rights and distributed the film all over Latin America might as well have been working out of a garage (and on the verge of bankruptcy). When I (and...

Re: Battle of Gods licenses
I can't really think of many reasons as to why FUNI didn't buy the rights for BOG yet. In Argentina, the company that bought the rights for the wide release all over latin america was actually some rural rinky dink company that was on the verge of bankruptcy. I read their interview on how quick and ...

Re: Official On-Going DBZ 2013 Movie Thread: "Battle of Gods
Guys, this thread is long so I don't know if this has been discussed. But, has anyone noticed the (apparent) plot hole of having Gohan actually turn SSJ during the "SSJ God transformation" scene? From what I gather, there are only 2-3 reasons for this happening. http://i43.tinypic.com/ftem...

Re: Why Like Dragon Ball Z?
1. It's because it makes me happy.
2. It has survived the test of time (with flying colours) and become a truly timeless creation.

Re: Official On-Going DBZ 2013 Movie Thread: "Battle of Gods
By the way, has anyone on this thread mentioned how great Norihito Sumitomo's music was for this film? There are so many wonderful pieces. Isn't he the same composer that did "Episode of Bardock"?

Re: Have Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece improved upon DB/Z?
I don't like statements like "surpass" or "improved upon". They remind me of (in the early-mid 2000s) of when Lord of the Rings fans started to obsessive troll fans of the original Star Wars Trilogy online by declaring that it somehow "dethroned" SW as the "greates...

Re: Have Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece improved upon DB/Z?
I love both Naruto & One Piece. My problem with One Piece is that it has many things that are too childish for my tastes (don't come at me saying that it's for kids, I know), and that the majority of it is only awesome in the finale of each story arc. Basically, the only arcs that I consider aw...

Re: Have Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece improved upon DB/Z?
These threads usually don't end well lol. I saw One Piece. I gave it a shot. My friend (who's 25 ish) is a huge fan of the series. Saw 100+ episodes (not in order). It's a great show, but for kids. And that's the gist of it. I just couldn't get into it after watching for so long. One of the things t...

Re: Official On-Going DBZ 2013 Movie Thread: "Battle of Gods
I'm surprised so few have noticed that this happened in the movie. Most seem to think that Goku somehow revived because of the "memory" of his loved-ones. But it's clearly this massive surge of "Blue Ki" that suddenly rushes from earth to his body. He clearly is seen to absorb th...

Re: Dragon Ball Z "Season One" Coming To Blu-Ray
I don't know about anyone else here, but I'm picking these up strictly because of the Blu Ray disk's long lasting value. Those things are impossible to scratch and they are designed to roughly last a century. Some of my Dragon Box DVDs, even though I take good care of them, are somehow scratched and...

Re: Official On-Going DBZ 2013 Movie Thread: "Battle of Gods
Well I meant when he was about to die vs. Bills during his final attack. Goku's eyes go black and he lets out an eccoing scream as he falls backwards motionless. Suddenly, he gets hit witb blu ki and he's back at it. I was wondering: what happened?

Hi guys. Could anyone explain to me how Goku managed to revive himself when he presumably dies at the end? Is that supposed to be left to interpretation?

Re: Official On-Going DBZ 2013 Movie Thread: "Battle of Gods
I found it interesting how some blue energy thing shoots itself into Goku and then he transforms into SSJG again. That's the 1 thing that I didn't understand from the film. You see an image of everyone screaming "Goku/Kakarotto!". Was that in his head? Suddenly you see a blast of that &qu...

Re: The Rebirth Of DBZ: A New Series?
Honestly, I'd be thrilled with a new movie series based on the world established in BOG. A new movie every 3-4 years would be amazing.
