It's truly devastating, but I am glad to have become a huge fan over the last few years having finally checking out Dragon Ball in Japanese, and 89? At least he had a long and happy life up to that age never short of acknowledgements for the incredible work he did, especially for Dragon Ball. The Jo...

As far as I'm aware all Madman's parts were reprinted with Kikuchi, but in Funimation's case it was only Part 4 as the Season sets started to come out by that point and no more copies of Parts 1-3 were being made. Copies of Season 1 with Yamamoto exist (from Funimation, Manga UK always had Yamamoto ...

A streaming service like Netflix would be a great way to gauge interest in a redub, even if they only did one "season" (because let's face it they would use the home release seasons, rather than the broadcast ones) and a lot less risky than doing it for a Blu-Ray set only. Funimation would...

I'm sure eventually the anime will continue, and when it does TOEI will undoubtedly capitalize on the fact there are two full arcs in the form of Moro and Granolah that they can adapt. They may also adapt Broly and throw in some slice-of-life episodes wherever possible. New movies would probably mak...

Yeah, I never understood why people think Schemmel's performance is deep, especially compared to David Gasman's Goku in the Big Green dub, that's Dan Green Yami Yugi levels of deep right there. Sure serious Schemmel is deeper, but that only makes up a small amount of Goku's screentime, and is not in...

Disney Star Wars was great up until Rise of Skywalker. Super was much more of a mixed bag with most of the good stuff being in the Black arc and slice-of-life episodes.

Been watching these Blu-Rays and am in the middle of season two. I'd say despite the DNR, the colours are mostly well balanced, and the 4:3 framing is acceptable, if not always perfect. Only instance this far where it's been jarring for me so far was when Goku was training in the rocky wasteland aft...

May be interested in the US or Australian GT singles if anyone's selling for a decent price.

Nancy Cartwright voiced teenage Bart in The Simpsons, and Tara Strong voiced old age Omi in Xiaolin Showdown. I could see an argument for the former still being quite child-like for his age, but the latter showed some level of maturity from what we saw of him. It's not just for business reasons, it ...

Super Saiyan 5 and above because the AF craze made it so iconic.

There is some truth to it, even if fans do romanticize this aspect of Goku's character a lot. I think Goku's laid back outlook on fighting and seeing it all as a big game inspires some characters to not take life so seriously, leading the way for other characters having bigger roles. Piccolo saw tha...

Not as long as Funimation holds rights to it. Realistically, even if Funimation lost the rights another company that picked up the license would still probably just use Funimation’s dub. Yup, and for new content they would outsource to Okraton, so the cast would remain the same, and likely the dire...

It would be possible, but it's highly doubtful anyone would ever make such an investment, especially when the majority of the English speaking fandom are happy with their dubs, and ultimately no dub will ever please everyone. For all the hate the Z dub gets it's still very well liked and the main se...

So in a week from now the Manga UK brand will be completely gone . Have to say I'll be sad to see it go, as I liked that the company had its own identity and I have nostalgia for going into HMV, Head Records, etc and seeing Dragon Ball products with their logo, but I guess it was coming. For anyone ...

It's also worth noting the Dragon Boxes are out of print, so buying them isn't legally supporting the series anyway, but rather supporting a private business owner who in most cases will rip you off. I always encourage everyone to buy whatever release they can, and as of now the 30th Blu-Rays are as...

Go for it, would be very interesting to read, and a great reference point for discussions on Kai's levels of accuracy

I wouldn't be opposed to nerfing Dragon Ball characters for a cross over, because naturally it would be a gag story anyway.

For Marvel or DC Guardians of the Galaxy would be a good fit aesthetically and tonally to mix in with Dragon Ball characters.

Don't have kids yet myself, but whenever I do it would definitely be nice to share my love of this series with them, and ultimately pass on all my manga and home media of it so they will always have them to remember me by. I wouldn't worry about Dragon Ball being dated by the time anyone's kids are ...

Has anyone outside the Netherlands ever bought any Dragon Ball stuff on Marktplaats? I'm looking at some stuff there but I can't register my account as they are looking for a Dutch phone number (which I don't have). Thanks.

I wonder how many of the voice actors from either Vancouver or Texas knew how iconic Dragon Ball in general was in Japan and was likely about to become worldwide. I'd imagine, based on the interviews they've done with Geekdom very few of them did. It's nice knowing in hindsight the likes of Corlett ...
