Re: Kid Vegeta : Bardock TV special vs Minus

I prefer the TV special, it's more tragic like you said and I feel it fits in better, it doesn't make much sense if Freeza would attempt to kill Vegeta along with all the saiyains to only to be like "oh he's still alive? eh whatever I can use him I guess". In the special the idea of him pu...

Re: What if the Funimation English Version was the Original?

I most likely wouldn't have ever watched the series, I tried watching the english funi version first but couldn't get past 1 episode because of the horribad music and cheesy voice acting, it wasn't until a couple of days later that I watched the original and fell in love.

Re: Villain Motivations

None of them had good motivations as to why they were evil. They were evil because they felt like it, which is lazy writing. Lazy writing? What... Freeza is literally the DBZ version of Hitler, so does that mean that Hitler is poorly written too? People usually don't have a reason to be evil, they ...

Re: Villain Motivations

I hear a lot of people say that the villains had no motivation which I don't think is true. In Saiyan Saga, Vegeta and Nappa wanted to be immortal, presumably to kill Freeza and take over ruler of the universe, obviously they weren't near strong enough to do it with their own power and hearing a cha...

Re: Big Green DVD Commercials.

What got me thinking was the four cassette covers advertised but perhaps they have the "Ocean Dub" which I wouldn't be surprised. http://i.imgur.com/w0JKikw.png Dammit I got my hopes up! I really wanted DBZ TV series with the Big Green Dub. :( Maybe it's a different dub by AB group? I'm n...

Re: Big Green DVD Commercials.

The third advertisement was for the DBZ TV series with the Big Green Dub? :o Any samples of it? By the way, my favourite Big Green ad is whenever they pronounce Saiyan because they actually say it properly (I think it was a Toonami ad but can't find it right now on YouTube). Nah it wasn't for the T...

Big Green DVD Commercials.

This isn't anything crazy or amazing but I found some Big Green Dub commercials which I'd never seen before, version 1 and 2 aren't that weird save for the reversed opening 1 thing at the end (right after Gohan jumps into the air) However I found version 3 really weird because it had the American &q...

Re: Any hope for Dragon Boxes in the UK?

Well, you have the French and Spanish boxes of Dragon Ball / Z / GT if you want but Manga UK doesn't look like they're able to deliver such high quality release, they did shell out the OBs unfortunately for the DBZ batch. The Orange Bricks are really not that great at all even though that the later...

Any hope for Dragon Boxes in the UK?

Hey I've been wondering for a while, is there any hope for the Dragon Boxes EVER, getting any sort of release in the UK? I'm asking this because I really don't have the money to buy all the Dragon Box sets, import them, and then buy a region-free player, I own most of the series in orange brick (All...

Re: Where to buy the "Big Green Dub" DVDs from?

I own movie 3 on dvd but I've watched 1-9 and the specials through my friend livestreaming them.

You can find the UK one's on amazon pretty easily.

Big Green, no surprise there, but when I was watching it the "YOU DON'T SCARE MEEEE" took me off guard :lol:

Also Freeza's laugh, that was just..... interesting...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions

I don't think Goten and Trunks being able to become Super Saiyans easy is actually that weird, it made a lot of sense IMO.

I liked BoG but the fight scenes were disappointing, not so much because they were lackluster but because of the horrible CGI they chucked in..
