Biggest mistake most franchises do--because it is easy to milk--is to change or create new backstories. Usually it serves to subvert or marginalize the plot and the character development in the first place. Minus is the biggest blow to all of Dragon Ball. It ruins the whole narrative, particularly f...

This is still huge!!! Nearly a decade in the making. Man, I just wish we capitalized it earlier when the actors were a bit younger.

@NirtroEx Thanks for all of the clarification, you (and everyone else here who has added a ton of great info and sources) pointed out a lot of holes in my theory, so I appreciate the explanations and facts you guys supplied, you rock! (and I've still got a lot to learn :lol: ) I wasn't aware that T...

The practise of splicing an edited dub with Japanese audio to fill in the gaps is more of a thing in Europe. I know a few French releases do that. It's pretty rare in the English world. I don't think Funimation would change that. The original English dub of Escaflowne was produced by Ocean. For wha...

https://i.imgur.com/Iksah6p.jpg Pick one... The armoured dress is an incredibly silly concept. I really don't like that design. So does everyone just wear armour for no apparent reason? As a dress? I feel like it is a lazy design by Toriyama just to indicate that she is female and very feminine.

That country-sized area that Nappa blew up was never revived. My opinion is that Vegeta will forever be condemned for that at the very least. He can't just get away with that. Also they didn't bring back that truck driver he killed. I know Goku isn't about justice and all that, but if somehow Veget...

their Japanese streams are from the OBs at 480p. ONLY at 480p, huh? Damn, I honestly thought the footage online was higher res than that, as the OB footage is claimed to have been mastered at 1080p. It was mastered at 1080p. However, even if it was mastered that way, it was compressed to 480p onto ...

Actually you’re kinda right. They did use the Ocean Group logo for the in-house Funi dub ( as shown here ), though not always as other episodes that aired on YTV had the Funi logo at the end ( as shown at the end here ). The second of those two clips is from the 108-167 period, and it sounds like o...

Toriyama did draw Bardock as he is seen in the TV special in his own manga. If that sequence of events are changed enough where even the armour is changed, then there is a retcon happening.

Morrow isn't bad but totally miscasted as Goku. Now I am curious to why would you prefer Morrow?

Doesn’t help he replaced Peter Kelamis. Like him or hate him Kelamis has a very distinctive way of doing Goku. Yeah the biggest problem with Morrow taking over Goku was he was following Kelamis' Goku. Kelamis has such a distinct voice (I really like it, he is my favourite Goku) and Morrow just soun...

The Blu-rays looks so blurry with all the line-art smudged. The Blu-ray's images are completely smeared to the point entire episodes are visually destroyed.

Tenshinhan never truly forgave Vegeta for what happened during the Saiyan arc. It isn't shown, it's more a TFS kind. It's shown. He still doubts Vegeta. I find it weird that Tenshinhan is made to look bad in that scene. He has a right to distrust Vegeta. Vegeta has a history of turning on his allie...

That theme song isn't specific to the Westwood dub. It actually predates it, although it was indeed used for it as well. Rather, it is the opening theme that the series had in Canada throughout the entirety of its run, regardless of at which point in the series it was, or who the cast was. It was t...

When people can be wished back to life so easily, murder isn't really as serious of a crime. Except those people who were killed during the Saiyan invasion were never wished back. So I'd say that them staying dead other than the Z-fighter renders Vegeta's, Nappa's, and to a lesser extent Raditz, as...

Just remember that low-fi=/=mono. Mono can be high fidelity. Mono sound just means that all sound comes from one channel. You can make a stereo channel into a mono channel and have the exact same quality.

When Vegeta arrived on Earth, even though he technically didn't cause death to anyone by his own hand, shouldn't he still be accountable for those who did die?

Woah that is CD quality!

I think it depends on the place (virtual or real) to go and be apart of this "fandom". It also depends on the age of the fans too, or maybe more so the maturity of the fans at a given place.
