Re: Why does Infinite World get overlooked?
The game never even released in Australia so I couldn't play it. :lol: That and Sagas were the two DBZ PS2 games that never saw a release in Australia. I never cared to play them because I heard so many bad things about them. Huh? I hadn't actually gotten into DB at that point, but I distinctively ...

Re: Goku's long absences in the story
This is something I've noticed ever since I first started watching the show. I remember back when I was 13 thinking "The show is more or less about Gohan growing, and Goku just comes in and beats up whatever bad guy."

Re: Casting Akira Kamiya as Bardock?
In the unpopular camp that Masako Nozawa is a good choice for Bardock and plays him well. That said if anyone else in the Japanese version should voice him, it's Shigeru Chiba.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
More of an unpopular opinion in this part of the fandom only; but as someone who was introduced to the series via the Kikuchi score and usually watches the series with Shunsuke Kikuchi's music I cannot for the life of me understand people who say that the Shuki Levi/Saban replacement score was bette...

Re: State of the Kanzenshuu: Wiki Status Update
Just popping back in to say congrats on the progress. Not really involved with the DB fandom anymore but I recognize what a huge deal this is. Like I remember talks about the wiki nearly 10 years ago. Can't even imagine the amount of work that's gone into it.

Re: Why wasn't DB Kai a completely new animated series?
In hindsight, Kai reusing old animation was probably the best choice. If they did redo it from the ground up, it would have been done on the budget of an old Scooby Doo episode. Also it was visually a nice break from the more glossy look of post 90's DB art.

Re: Vic Mignogna
The problem here is that the right is better at marketing than the left is.

Re: Petition to use SS, not SSJ, as an abbreviation for Super Saiyan
As someone from the that weird generation of fans that's in-between the original dub of Z and the Nicktoons generation I absolutely refuse not to use SSJ. Due to being in the fandom when it was still mostly fans from the late 90's/early 2000's I've been using that abbreviation before I even knew abo...

Re: Are Power Scalers a cause or symptom of toxicity in the fandom?
To be honest; over the years I've actually become more empathetic to "power scalers."
The people who dislike them seem to be so weird about it, and demonise fans who are more or less just having fun.

From what I remember it was mostly arguments on whether GT was canon, and which of the movies could fit in with the manga.

If it could be overloaded, characters like Freeza and Cell would have probably done it to the characters already.

Re: Dragon Ball Dragon Box have redubbed part
If this is indeed real and not a hoax, then that brings up the question of when exactly the second audio was recorded.
As for why it was recorded, my best guess is that maybe they lost literally every single source of that clip and had to redub it. Why they changed the dialogue is beyond me.

"King Cold would have been more powerful than Perfect Cell if he had transformed." That isn't that stupid, if we assume he could have transformed. But the fact is that he can't If he transformed he would most likely only be as powerful as Freeza (Pre-RoF) at 75-90%. Admittedly I'm behind ...

Re: Would it be correct to say that the old Funi singles were an honest representation of what the show looks like?
No, the Dragon Box with corrected colors would probably be the closest representation of what the show is "supposed" to look like. As they're sourced from the original masters. The reason dubs fro other countries look so similar is most likely due to the fact Toei gave them the same or sim...

Re: Dragon Box Audio Vs. Broadcast Audio — How is there even an argument?
The most common reasoning I've seen, is that the low quality audio fits with the aesthetic of Drragon Ball and makes it feel like an old martial arts film, or something like that.superfan2024 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 08, 2019 12:05 pm There are people who exist that actually prefer the muffled audio? What?
