Re: Can I get a Vjump subscription in the US?
You can get Kinokuniya to mail it to your house every month, but it ain't cheap. I was quoted for a tad over $100 for a paltry six issues — about a 200% markup. I mean, I know they're importing the magazine, and then sending it along to your door, but man.

Re: The "peak" of your Dragon Ball fandom
My fandom ebbs and flows, though my feelings towards it change subtly with the years. I guess the heaviest I've ever been in the thick of it was in the run-up to Battle of Gods , when I was pulling long hours every single night translating news and content, while also tackling a huge backlog of old ...

Re: Complete list of plotholes/continuity issues in the mang
Because it's been 20 years? Do you not think story telling quality has not evolved since then? Somethings concepts have become cliche. Some have been done to death. Story telling terms and tropes have become more apparent and recognizable. Just like how graphics evolve over time, so does the standa...

Re: What is the rarest/most valuable Dragon Ball collectible
The seasonal Jump specials with Dragon Ball posters (from memory: Autumn 1985, Spring 1986, Summer 1989) can go for a pretty penny, though that's not entirely on Dragon Ball alone. Also, I'm still looking for the 1986 issue of TelePal that has Toriyama's talk with Rumiko Takahashi, so if anyone has ...

Re: Resurrection F Box Office - ¥1.83 billion ($15.35 millio
RoF does look to have surpassed ¥2 billion today so it reached it 3 days faster than BoG. This is particularly impressive, in light of the current movie managing this without being front-loaded with an extended school holiday. I'm surprised that Kanzenshuu haven't actually posted the gross themselv...

Re: How Do You Feel About Director Yamamuro?
As I mentioned in my review of the film on the podcast, I feel that Yamamuro's direction is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, his background in actual martial arts (which he shares with his mentor, Mitsuo Shindō) is put to good use in the fight choreography, which looks fantastic. (Some have cr...

Re: The probability of this is probably low, right?
Shonen manga can be aimed for pre-teens, teenagers and older teens. Some shonens just focus on the younger end of the spectrum while others focus on the older end, while other vary in tone. Mangas like Bakuman and Fist of the North Star focused more on the older end. Dragon Ball, due to its changes...

So anyway, what do you all think is inside casa de Toriyama? Is it just your average (Japanese) household on the inside? Is there Dragon Ball/Doctor Slump merchandise everywhere? Does he have a huge garage full of classic vehicles with sketches of them on the walls? Model kits, floor to ceiling, wa...

Aw. http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/c/cry.gif Thank you though. Well at least I've still got the shout-out in the manga adaption. (And gratitude to Toyotaro for including it.)

Re: Official On-Going DBZ 2015 Movie Thread: "Resurrection '
May I ask a basic question? How was the voice acting? Did the actors sound aged or...? Freeza is as awesome as always. Bulma, too. Vegeta sounds perhaps a tad more "gruff" than originally, but that's entirely in-character for him, so it doesn't really affect things for me. Goku is the sam...

Original question for people that already watched it. Judging by character sheets, I guess Marron appears in the movie?! Did she already grow up a little?!
