Re: Why didnt goku chach the dragon ball in dead zone

There is something called "leniency" and "open-mindedness". If something is wrong but can be easily fixed, why getting fixated on the wrongness and ignore the solution? This is like saying Jaco, the Galactic Patrolman don't fit with the rest of the manga because of Bulma's age, ...

Re: Did Trunks' maternal grandparents (Bulma's parents) die in EOZ?

I doubt it, to be honest. Even though Dr. Brief looks like an older guy, how old could he possibly be? They'd both be pretty young in end of Z and GT to have died of old age. And I don't think Dragon Ball would have them die unnaturally or due to disease off screen. My guess? GT simply overlooked th...

Re: Why didnt goku chach the dragon ball in dead zone

It wasn't for plot because the movie was a one-off. It didn't follow the continuity established in chapter 104 of the manga (chapter 2 of "Z") or the first episodes of Dragon Ball Z, as Goku was supposed to have the 4-star, 3-star, and 6-star balls. In the movie, Goku only had the 4-star b...

Re: How would you introduce Dragon Ball to Gen Alpha?

I feel like introducing my kids to Dragon Ball would be work for me. Like what age we talking? I don't have kids yet, so let's say they're... 5-8 by the time they start watching? I doubt they'd care. I might not be in touch with today's kids, but did kids in the US care about Super? I feel like the ...

Re: Freeza shouldn’t have been a transforming villain

I wouldn't mind if Freeza transformed from his first form right into his fourth. The second and third form were pretty useless. If Freeza just shed his armor and shell to go into his fourth form, I think that would be cool.

Re: The end of era: Sony discontinues the Funimation brand on April 2

So, is everything moving off of Funimation to Crunchyroll? Because dubbed Super is still not on Crunchyroll. And that's just what I know of. I'm sure there's a lot more.

Re: The end of era: Sony discontinues the Funimation brand on April 2

Anywho, I am thankful to Funimation for introducing me to Dragon Ball (Z) and Yu Yu Hakusho. I wasn't a fan of how they chose to handle the Dragon Ball franchise, but that's the one I got. Then releasing DVDs with the Japanese audio and subtitles is one of the greatest things they've done with the s...

Re: Skipped episodes

Wasn't there an episode of Dragon Ball that was skipped over in the countries that received the Blue Water dub? Had a feeling that would be brought up, but no. As per 90sDBZ 's examples there may have been slipups where Toonami or YTV missed an episode but aired it the next time it was due to air. ...

I don't know if this counts, but the US originally got the first 67 episodes condensed into 53 episodes. It was like the original Kai. It took until 2005 for the US to get all 67 episodes ...

Re: Do you like fusions?

I never liked fusion, to be entirely honest. Firstly, it seems like a cop-out. The characters hit a brick wall and suddenly, they get to fuse! But also, fusion characters aren't the protagonists that you know and love. Vegetto, for example--it's not Goku, it's not Vegeta, it's a whole separate chara...

Re: Do you think Dragon Ball would have worked better if Goku died on Namek?

I honestly don't get some of the arguments here. Gokundoesn't learn? All of the things that Goku did were written. He's not a real person. Hebisbwritten to be a certain way and if he wasn't around, someone else would be written that way. Because Goku's actions where he "didn't learn from his mi...

Re: Dragon Ball Blue Water Dub

I like the Blue Water dub. But then again, I like these little novelty things. I like the Westwood dub because I always thought the Ocean cast was superior. And quite frankly, when the series kept playing "seasons 1 and 2," I always imagined the series moving past with the Ocean dub. But, ...

Re: Any FUNi dubisms you still find yourself saying from time to time?

In conversation, I keep all of the dubisms because it's become clear to me that nobody I come across in my day-to-day life is a fan of the series the way I'm a fan of the series. My friends that watched it alongside me never ventured deep into it and when I meet someone new who's like, "Yeah! D...

Ok, maybe "delusion" is a harsh word to use, but I genuinely can't see actually enjoying the 30th anniversary remaster when you have access to the other choices. Like, I watched the first episode of Z recently between the Levels, DBoxes, & the 30th anniversary steelbooks. If the 30th ...

Yeah, so I'm backing up all my DVDs and Blu-rays and despite everything, despite knowing about the grain and all that... the 30th anniversary set is still the most visually appealing to me. It's just so sharp and smooth compared to the fuzzy dark look of the Dragon Boxes. Even the Level sets don't ...
