*snip* Ha! Very cool! That's what I expected to find in this thread when I clicked it, not some green jelly beans. =P Obviously it's easy to find the beans in any Chinese restaurant, Asian market, or even any supermarket (I assume), but where did you find that nifty package with the Senzu jar? I wa...

Keep the original score, stop adding in unfunny attempts at humor, don't touch up the script at all with lame attempts at 'Americanization', and get a voice actor for Freeza who does such a competent job at the role that we as fans can honestly say 'Wow, this guy rivals Ryusei Nakao. He rivals Ryuse...

How come Kiwi is on the eye cath? Seems weird there are other characters that could have taken his place Well when we take our first few steps into the Freeza arc and get our initial glance at this larger galactic army, if I'm remembering the backstory correctly it's established that Kiwi acts as a...

From what it seems, people tend to be forgetting that there are going to be seven Dragon Boxes, not just one or two. If the extras you're looking or hoping for - Plan to Eradicate the Saiya-jin a prime example - aren't on this one, it can be on one of the other six. Besides, I agree with jjgp, it w...

Wow, that sounds like an awful release. Even the U.S. with its editing and music-changing ways got over edited and dub only releases on DVD well around ten years ago, so it makes no sense for an international company to do the same. Either the people in charge of releasing these DVDs are incredibly ...

I'd have to say that the reason that this hasn't really happened in the past (that I could tell anyway) compared to now is due to the Dragon Box thread. That thing probably ate away at the forum's monthly bandwidth faster than usual, I mean I'm sure everyone saw how quickly it was growing when the a...

So out of curiosity, I've recently started watching comparisons of the different versions around the world. For example, here's a comparison of Trunks killing Freeza between Japanese, English, German, Hungarian, the Mexican Spanish dub, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, and French. Whew! Nine versions t...

Watch that Goku vs Ginyu fight. If you can! I love those stereotypical Kung Fu noises Goku makes throughout that fight! :lol: ...damn, that's something I was hoping they would take out for the redub. That still makes me think something along the lines of 'New extreme DBZ for 1999!' for whatever rea...

Well, in the Season Two FUNimation dub, I think Frieza was handled just fine. No cheesy one liners, and, besides the voice, actually got most of the character through, such as how he is always calm until something comes along and pisses him off, sending him into a childish rage, etc. Of course, onc...

To Young's defense, Freeza is completely rewritten as a character anyway. She plays FUNimation's Freeza just fine. The real Freeza doesn't even exist in the dub, as opposed to someone like, say, Trunks, who's personality isn't altered but still had a grating voice when he was introduced. I'm glad I...

*snipped image* So hilariously true. XD As much as I like Goku, the one thing that has always bugged me about him is the fact that he unintentionally (at least I think it's unintentionally seeing as how clueless he can be) mistreats ChiChi, particularly in the Buu arc. She just witnessed her firstb...

Japanese version on there and as the default, I don't really care... But hey, a shot at getting rid of such lines as, 'Alright big guy, whatever turns you on!'? By all means, go for it. Please go for it. Yeah I feel the same way, if they re-dub it, thats great, and more quality to those who will en...

A redub of the later Freeza arc would certainly fit in line with the job done for the first portion of it. I'm kind of hoping it happens, but at the same time with the Japanese version on there and as the default, I don't really care... But hey, a shot at getting rid of such lines as, 'Alright big g...

That was definitely one of the best podcast episodes ever, but I'm not surprised due to the news that sparked it.
