Re: Dragon Ball Z 4:3 Steelbooks
It will be a funny meme if they silently put these on selves and for some reason its a different remaster without dnr and everything :lol: It's Funimation so anything's possible, for all we know these are the level set masters. I'm not too sure. If they really did go back and put less tampered foot...

Re: Dragon Ball Z 4:3 Steelbooks
Piccolo for Season 7 never made sense either. Saiyaman would have made more sense. It's like they had something against putting Gohan on a cover. At least the 2013 Blu-rays had the appropriate characters on the covers. It really is a shame Funimation don't seem interested in releasing OG Dragon Bal...

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 42 - DBZ episode 33-37 (CURRENT WEEK)
The scene of everyone reclaiming the bodies always plucks a bit at the heart strings no matter how many times I see it. The way Bulma breaks down to tears after showing up seemingly cool and collected hits pretty hard.

Re: Bootleg topic! Real vs fake
Man these bootleggers are really putting in work with this lmaoo. From the picture I can't even tell if its either a bootleg or the official release. It really is. The first red flag was how many sets the seller sold (it was around 29) and the fact the Final Chapters barcode windows are huge like t...

Re: Funimations 30th anniversary collectible home video release
My set just arrived and it's exactly as I expected. Aside from the outer box, everything else is exactly the same as the USA release (and Manga UK as well I assume. Haven't actually seen any photos of that anywhere): (heavy image load here) Outer box: https://i.imgur.com/6KPqBAR.jpg https://i.imgur...

Re: Would you say that GT is more or less liked nowadays?
The TOP's length was fine. Individually it was basically like an arc of DBZ. You can skip the movie retellings and just watch the movies so even then you can save yourself time of watching about 20 eps at least. 30+ episodes of nothing but fighting in a single location is pretty overbearing. It’s j...

Re: Would you say that GT is more or less liked nowadays?
I can't speak for anyone but myself. I gave GT it's fair shot to win me over, but I just don't care for it. It just never captured my attention the same way DB or Z did and either left me bored or totally baffled. Though I will give credit for the quite nice animation and score, but that's about whe...

Re: My Attempt to Improve the Orange Bricks
That actually looks pretty decent, makes me think of a cropped D-Box with the colors. The fact you were able to make that from the trainwreck Orange Bricks is applaudable

Re: Are senzu beans just a deus ex machina?
I think a better example of deus ex machina would be when Karin just happened to have Super God Water to give Goku a boost to defeat King Piccolo in the manga. The anime makes it a test of strength and character which negates the deus ex machina aspect. This 100%, that's an actual example of a Deus...

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 41 - DBZ episode 28-32 (CURRENT WEEK)
I tell you, if there was any singular moment I could re-watch in my brain if I got bored, it would be Goku's battle with Vegeta. The animation truly brings the panels of the manga to life. Especially when Goku pull off the x3 Kaio Ken to just wail on him, it's so cathartic after you have to endure w...

Re: Comparison shots from every single DBZ release
So I've got my first set of movies on Blu Ray coming in the mail (Super Android 13/Bojack Unbound). I'd love to do comparisons on them because compared to the shows, you barley ever see any comparisons on those releases. Anyways, in the meantime, let's compare the openings and closings across the v...

Re: Akira Toriyama Autograph/Sketch Authentification/Reference?
Well, at least my Osamu Tezuka signature is genuine as my bud was there in Minneapolis to get it for me and my Shigeru Mizuki sketch and autograph are genuine as I was at the convention and met him in person. But yeah, with Toriyama being camera shy, getting a real autograph would be as hard as get...

Re: What's your most recent Dragonball purchase?
I've long since gotten rid of my Japanese Super Blu-rays, so I decided to pick up volume 1 of Funi's release. I'm actually super impressed by the packaging on this. Just be careful, the Funi Super Blu-rays are bootlegged to hell, and some of the fakes i've seen look quite close to the real thing. :...

I was pretty shocked by that actually, because seriously though...making figures of said character's dead corpse??? Yeah i'd like to know who in their right mind at Bandai signed off on this. Maybe someone there just had a unhealthy hatred, and needed something to complete their anti-shrine to Yamc...

Re: Would you pay Funimation via Kickstarter for a redub of the full Dragon Ball media
A re-dub of everything Dragon Ball. No. A re-dub of OG DB though, I would be all for it. To have the choice between the original Japanese and a solid English dub from OG DB episode 1 to Super episode 131 would be great. Everybody benefits when we have more options to watch the series we love. A re-...

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 40 - DBZ episode 23-27 (CURRENT WEEK)
I'd say the even more bizarre pandering (although not a product of these episodes but inspired by ep 176) is that Bandai actually made dead Yamcha figures. Really? Damn that's kinda messed up, i'd imagine some parents had issues with that. I was pretty shocked by that actually, because seriously th...

Ah yes. "Look! I can see their parachutes! They're okay!" and "They blew up the cargo robot!" are some of my favorite hokey censorings from Saban DBZ. But to be honest, I dont think there could be anyways besides outright cutting the shots to find a way to sidestep Nappa murderin...
