Re: Has there been official word on exactly why GT ended?

Episode #40 was amazing, I loved everything about it (Piccolo's death is just... *cries*). It works as an ending too. But I'm glad we've had got 24 more episodes, even if the Super #17's Arc (except his design, it's sick, I love it) was mediocre. I do wonder if they had the Goku Jr. special as a po...

Re: Has there been official word on exactly why GT ended?

Originally GT had the greenlight for 40 episodes, but it was pretty much a given more episodes would be ordered. The second order was for 24 episodes, but I don't recall the reason why it was no more than that, and why that point was to be the original end of the Dragon Ball series. I'd guess it wa...

Re: Why is the Nicktoons Kai era so remembered...

Probably because it was Kai's introduction to the US and the striking while the iron's hot factor. Naturally because the CW and Toonami were rerunning Kai it was less of a big deal and didn't have as big a pull as Nicktoons did when they could boast having the newest Dragon Ball show. Yes, and cert...

Re: Why is the Nicktoons Kai era so remembered...

It's also notable for having carried the Kenji Yamamoto score for longer than the DVD/BD releases here did, as the latter went up to episode 52 on the Part sets before changing over to the Kikuchi replacement score (Part 5, which originally was scheduled to have Yamamoto's music as well up to the la...

Re: Has there been official word on exactly why GT ended?

Put yourself in the mind of a Toei employee in 1997. After the studio had spent 11 years working on an anime series that produced hundreds of episodes, a dozen and a half films, partial work on additional media, and some noncanon promotions, you kinda might be in total despair upon believing that y...

Re: How many kids have grown up with The CW's DBZKai?

I mean, this "recolor a character with problematic design" thing isn't even new relative to Mr. Popo on Toonzai/CW's edit of Kai. One of the best examples is OLM going back and recoloring Jynx/Rougela in older Pokemon (Pocket Monsters) episodes from black to purple after the controversies ...

Re: Everything we know about the Animax English dub of Dragon Ball

It'd be funny if Omni Productions had something to do with this, considering how infamous they are for their laughably awful dubs of the Takara Transformers trilogy (Headmasters, Super-God Masterforce, Victory) especially given Rik Thomas is listed here and along with being Galvatron and others' VA ...

Re: Deep Thoughts: The Cell Games

The decision to make Gohan the main character seemed pretty out of left field. He was no more important than Krillin and Piccolo in the Freeza saga and spent a good deal of the Android storyline even further in the background. Did Toriyama feel like he exhausted all potential with Goku as a lead (h...

Re: Crunchyroll re-releasing Dragon Ball GT on DVD in February 2023

So, for anyone who actually owns both the Funimation Green Bricks and the Crunchyroll 2023 DVDs, can you upload pictures and compare the two releases? There's no difference outside of the new cover art. The discs are the same you'd get in the Green Bricks, all the way down to Funimation's logo stil...

Re: I just watched the ending of GT (Japanese version) and it was one of the most depressing things I’ve ever seen

Well, it certainly feels more conclusive of an ending (at least for the anime version of the story. And test that's with Z more or less adapting the final chapters as is) than Toriyama did with the manga, which was basically "Goku meets and fights random kid who also happens to be the evil Buu...

Re: Deep Thoughts: Movie 4 and The Garlic Jr. Saga

The Return of Cooler has some good fights. this film is just boring. It's boring in conception and execution. One thing I noticed last time I watched it was that it had really good sound design. Idk why it stuck out to me so much but it had that going for it. And the awesome music that got repurpos...

Re: Deep Thoughts: Movie 4 and The Garlic Jr. Saga

Even if the Slug movie isn't that great, i still like to watch the Big Green and Speedy dubs of it. Those are just so bad it's good and at least that makes it a little more entertaining in that regard as only those two dubs can in all their utter hilarity. :lol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vp0DH...

Re: One Piece Episode 590 (The One Piece x Toriko x Dragon Ball Z Crossover) to Air on Toonami on March 4

Interesting that they got it and made a dub, considering that one of the three shows (Toriko) that made up the casts meeting never aired on Toonami in it's dubbed form and this crossover special came out almost a decade ago in April 2013, and the show itself had about a year left on TV before ending...

It crazy just how far fans have gone to give us a "definitive" product. Not only have they synced the Blu-ray audio to the VOD version with higher picture quality, they've also synced up Steve Simmons' official subtitles, synced up the Funimation English dub to all the movies, and the unc...

Depressing? Yeah, for Goku's family, who never see him again until they pass away of old age. I suppose it's meant to be ambiguous on what happens to him. Some say he's dead while others say he's immortal. Yes, and considering that Pan is the only remaining family member of his from back then (not ...

We have those masters in the French release too, so after having watched all movies, I can tell you that middle fingers is the only thing that was censored to my knowledge.
