Re: Unpopular DB opinions

As much as I respect the man Yanami Jouji's naration in this scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbqTh8PC7aI just feels out of place IMO, I feel the scene would have worked better without it. Not sure if the kai did it accurately but they had something similar but as an inner monologue for cell. ...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions

From the Japanese side of things I prefer the SSJ transformation in movie 5 to the original only because the scream was better edited.

I don't have anything against her and just think its funny how much raw hatred she gets. Similar to Jar Jar Binks in the Star Wars fandom.

Re: Does anyone actually like Cell's middle form? Does it deserve the hate?

Does it really get hate though? It's just the weird middle ground between imperfect and perfect and it looks that way.

Re: Why does Funimation refuse to acknowledge the term "Ki"?

Same reason they won't start pronouncing saiyan correctly, "energy" has been ingrained in the localization for so long that a big change would be jarring to casual fans.

Re: Has anyone noticed spoken dialogue being slightly off sync with lip flaps in Japanese Z?

I've heard that in general the Japanese aren't as concerned about lip flaps when dubbing as we are, and since they record lines after its animated they don't mind being a little sloppy with the flaps as long as the acting sounds natural. Interesting, I didn't know that. I mean the animator's do try...

Re: Cast picture question

The production guide that shows how a typical episode was made has a cool cast picture from way back when. Can anyone identify the VAs in this photo? That's obviously Mayumi Tanaka and Masako Nozawa in the middle, but what about the rest? The one on the far right might be Hiromi Tsuru or Naoko Wata...

I believe the part where past characters like Upa and Snow recognize him by voice was filler but I'm not sure so correct me if I'm wrong.

Re: I just realized... (Dub Plothole...in all dubs)

There's a plot hole in all the dubs that replaced Goku with a man and or someone else. EVERYONE can recognize Goku's voice in the Japanese version because it never changed at all. But in every dub people just seem to know its Goku despite years of separation and the change in voice! :eh: Not really...

Re: Who Would You Cosplay or Not Cosplay from DB?

Mr Satan would be a fun and easy cosplay, and the voice is pretty much a hulk hogan/randy savage hybrid.

Re: How to ease the pain of the upcoming hiatus

Read Don Quixote. One of the best introductions to older literature, and it's fun as hell. George R. R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" books deserve all the praise they get, and are miles better than the HBO show. I've been trying to get people to read Matthew Stover's "Acts of Ca...

Re: Opinions on the Dragon Ball films

I mean DB movies #1 to #3 (though I guess you can include Path to Power, since it's the same kind of movie) that retell the series' story in a different way. How do you feel they compare to the equivalent story arcs of the anime/manga? I really like the second movie, because it turns a simple task ...

I know most think it only lasted for the freeza arc but honestly I don't think Sabat fully dropped his drummond impression until the buu arc? What say you?

Re: How to ease the pain of the upcoming hiatus

Read Berserk, or watch the 97 anime then read the manga. It's currently my favorite work of fiction.

It's really nothing like Dragon Ball but it's amazing.
