Is there even a "One Piece situation"? Funimation's chugging out One Piece volumes pretty fast. I'm having a hard time keeping up.

Character #76: Shu http://i.imgur.com/q2Nye1g.jpg Likes: He's a henchman to the original Dragon Ball villain, and he (along with Pilaf and Mai) managed to stick around until the Piccolo Daimao arc, eventually coming back in Dragon Ball Super. He's a character I love despite not actually doing much,...

I can't say I've seen people use "Djinn" outside of discussions about Viz, but I have seen people use "Vegerot" from time to time.

I didn't know that was the case, which does make it pretty strange. I guess they decided to compromise to appeal to parents and, to a lesser extent, those who knew his real name.

Has anyone seen the Deluxe edition on Amazon yet? All I say is Day 1 and the Collector edition with the Goku figure. I'm gonna preorder the Day 1 but I'm worried that wont be coming with the season pass. Any confirmations on this? Day 1 edition is just the game with the pre-order bonus. The Deluxe ...

You know, the strangest thing about Viz censoring Mr. Satan is the fact that they bother acknowledging that it is his ring name. That is, before dropping it forever afterwards. What was the point of that? It just feels frustrating that they would leave it in "their continuity" to showcase...

Thanks for the input, Herms. As for the other discussion, do you feel any certain way about how idioms should be translated? I'm starting to lean more towards changing it to fit the language it's being translated into.

I didn't think about that, although I did notice something else. In episode 36, it gets translated to "Senzu", but in Episode 37 it's back to "senzu bean". However you look at it there's some inconsistency here.

"Wow, that baby chicken has a really high temperature!" Kind of loses the entire point, doesn't it? That does help put it into perspective a bit. I don't know, I never noticed any idioms in Dragon Ball that I couldn't figure out, but I guess it does make more sense to change them as long ...

This is a hard argument because I see the logic in both sides. "Weasel's last fart" is what Goku said , but "last parting shot" is what he meant . I feel like "Weasel's last fart" isn't a great example for this. I was able to infer what it meant pretty easily, and I'm s...

I just went back and checked, myself. He must've changed how he translated "senzu" sometime after the Saiyan arc, because he was still using "senzu bean" then.

I didn't know about the time machine mistake! That's pretty interesting. Also, I thought "senzu bean" was used in the Dragon Box subtitles (I remember that catching my attention) but I could be wrong.

On the back of the box for Funimation's Dragon Ball Z Kai: Season 1 , among bullet points such as "True to the manga and packed with action" and "Backed by a spectacular new English dub", there's one statement that caught my eye: "The most accurate subtitle track ever"....

My take on this whole car business: It's all characterization. I'll first follow Snow_Lilies in saying that the point was precisely to give Ten an illegitimate -- one might even say pyrrhic -- victory, thoroughly humbling him. At the same time, while I'll agree that the haphazard nature of it is qu...

For me, my fondest memory is reading the manga for the first time. My friend in elementary school was really into manga, and he would show me whatever manga he brought with him that day. The only one that ever really caught my attention was Dragon Ball, probably because it was funny to me, whereas a...

The line that always threw me off in Battle of Gods was Goku's "I will not let you destroy my world!" which in Japanese was "Stop having fun destroying things!" (I don't speak Japanese so I'm going by Steve Simmons' translation) The thing about the Kai dub (as well as other dubbe...

Right now the thing I love about Super is its humor. Sure a few jokes have fallen flat, but stuff like Vegeta and the pacifier can be pretty funny. I actually laughed out loud when he found out what it was. As for what's not so great, so far it's just felt small to me. Each story arc took place in o...

English Kai isn't a bad way to go, but you said it was the version you know, so I assume you've already seen it. There's nothing wrong with watching it again, but if you do go with Kai, I personally think you should watch it in Japanese, just because you haven't seen it that way yet. You might as we...

Not saying it's wrong, but that seems slightly at odds with what he was supposed to have said in the introduction to the work in question: http://www.kanzenshuu.com/manga/spin-offs/crossovers/cross-epoch/ Even though it’s called a “collaboration”, Oda-kun did almost everything, including the story....

many DBZ fans may tune out Super before it even gets to the new stuff--because for all they know the new stuff isn't even coming. I have to admit, I tuned out of the series around episode 6 or 7, and didn't watch anymore until around episode 28, after the Freeza arc ended. I get the feeling a lot o...
