Re: Deep Thoughts: The Trunks Saga

It's a shame that Battle Point Unlimited is a piece of music that was plagiarized, but I do still have a soft spot for it. Everything about the episodes dealing with Trunks killing Frieza and King Cold are perfect. King Cold acting all high and mighty, believing that the sword is the reason why Trun...

Brian Drummond and Brad Swaile are at Fan Expo Vancouver.

Just thought I'd let you guys know.

Re: Dragon Ball and Toxic Masculinity

Everyday I think about how Kuririn was ruined by Toriyama making him a cop. I really do not care for the notion that it entails. I'm still not seeing your point here. Both sides essentially want the other to not exist, because that's how their side can shape society to their worldview. The right an...

Re: Dragon Ball and Toxic Masculinity

Of course, they always deal with people with disagree with them. It's politics we're talking about here. That's exactly my point. Left-wingers would only like the right if it was like the left, basically another left. I'm still not seeing your point here. Both sides essentially want the other to no...

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

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.

Re: Deep Thoughts: The Namek Saga (Ocean Dub)

I'd say Sabat more or less came into his own with Kai and the Raging Blast games. Sure, he dropped the Drummond impression more or less in either the Cell or Buu sagas, but even still he sounded forced with that overly gruff voice that he also gave to Piccolo. Once he settled for a smoother take for...

Re: Gine Appreciation Thread.

She's adorable, I gotta say. But I despise Minus. There was no need to soften Bardock's character when he was fine as it is. Funnily enough, the Funimation dub of the Bardock special did the same thing, making him say things like: "I only wish I could have held you in my arms" or "And...

Re: Deep Thoughts: The Saiyan Conflict (Ocean Dub)

Honestly, they both work. I remember reading an interview with Gen Fukunaga where he said that they originally cast another voice actor for Vegeta, but he was busy, so Brian Drummond was cast instead. Also, one of the things that I love about Henderson's Gohan is how it sounds like an actual boy. Na...

Re: Deep Thoughts: The Saiyan Conflict (Ocean Dub)

Dave Ward as Ox-King is honestly a better performance than it had any right to be, since the Ox-King is such a minor character. Aside from Matt Smith, I also find the Ocean Roshis to be quite painful. But hey, that's how I feel about every English Roshi. Most of them sound like a young guy trying to...

Re: Opinions on the Ocean dub of movies 1-3?

They're still my favorite way of watching the first three movies along with the Japanese version.

Along with Kai and the current stuff, they're an example of what a Dragon Ball dub should be.

Ugh, Season 3. Sure, it's nice that the Funimation guys have improved a great deal since 1999, but you look at this dub and think: "Maybe it was a bad idea to give the rights of our show to a company that couldn't afford to maintain professional voice actors and had to hire people from the stre...

Re: Deep Thoughts: The World's Strongest

I enjoy the heck out of this movie, but I still don't understand how Wheelo was going to take over Goku's body with that huge brain of his.

Also, one of his minions is a yellow Dodoria.

Re: Deep Thoughts: The Vegeta/Saiyan Saga

Vegeta's durability is something to behold. Survives a Spirit Bomb and getting crushed by Gohan in his Great Ape form.

Also, it's the last time Yajirobe contributes to the plot in some form, with him cutting off Vegeta's tail to revert him back to his normal form.

I always get the feeling that left-wingers would only tolerate right-wingers if they agreed them with on everything. What is this even supposed to mean?

Not really, the left-wing would still hate the right-wing if they weren't taking the way voting rights or the right to choose. Like I said before, the Democrats only like Republicans like Teddy Roosevelt and Robert La Follette, who would not win primaries in the GOP today. In fact, La Follette would...
