Any news on a UK release yet? Hopefully not just in London.

Re: Gohan and Videl VA questions

Could anyone kindly link me to a couple of YouTube clips showing the two Gohan voices? Or at least give me two episode numbers I could use to compare? It's been so long since I watched it on TV that I can't remember the voices changing (also doesn't help that I watched it out of order). Kyle Herbert...

My parents are paying for a return flight to Tokyo and accommodation for a short holiday. I have to supply the spending money and can extend the holiday as much as I like. The only other thing I know I'm getting is Gran Torino on DVD, which my dad keeps recommending to me. Oh. I was wrong a bit! Tha...

Well it's interesting this year. Since I "grew up" I haven't got an awful lot for Christmas - when I was little I'd get like a console, a few games and a TV - that sort of thing. Since I was about 18 it's been more like a couple of games and a coat. But this year my parents seem to be goin...

The point is that they've been take to a realistic level and still work. The idea that a straight rendition of the designs wouldn't work if they're made to look realistic is obviously incorrect; Piccolo does not look like "a little green man" and Buu can still look threatening despite bein...

Well, to quote him from memory, Oda says how much he loves drawing and Toriyama says "That's where you and I differ. I wish I enjoyed it, it would probably be a lot easier to do if I actually enjoyed it". He also totally forgot who Tao Pai Pai was in the same interview.

Not mine, of course, but these show how a DBZ live-action movie could use the Toriyama designs and still look great. I particularly love how they made Pilaf look "realistic" and threatening without dramatically altering his design, how King Piccolo looks ancient and wise and, most of all, ...

He does actually say, in an interview with Eiichiro Oda, that he doesn't really enjoy drawing. That's questionable, since he chose a shitty career if he doesn't like drawing, but he does definitely give out this vibe of "I don't really like doing what I'm doing, they're making me do it... And w...

Vegeta's "pride" as a Saiyan is merely a conduit created by Vegeta to give himself even more of an ego in some form of douche bag feedback loop. Vegeta's Saiyan pride is just a drawn out way of saying Vegeta's Vegeta pride. When someone is proud of their own race, it's based on their upbr...

Well it's the same reason we still have armies despite having absolutely devastating special forces. The DB World Government relying on just a small amount of martial artists would be like America having no army, just Delta Force, and Britain just having the SAS. For one thing, there's coverage; the...

Congratulations on 200 episodes! In terms of the community theme, I have no idea if there are any British DB sites but I can at least say that only two people I know had already heard of DBZ before I mentioned it to them, and one of them doesn't like it (but is basing that opinion on general interne...

I have to say, it does look pretty fuzzy to me. I'm probably just spoiled by watching things like Bluray rips of Bakemonogatari, though. I guess it's not fair for such an old show to be compared to a recent, HD one - it still does make the image quality selling point a bit underwhelming. Still, I'm ...

I just reread the first chapter. Anyone ever notice how Goku throwing Nyoibo to stop Bulma from falling makes no sense? He throws it at an angle but in the last panel it's sticking straight out from the cliff. I'm not complaining, it's just something I never noticed before. Could it be like a javel...

Yeah after murdering 8 monsters and then their father in cold blood you'd think Gohan would have a hard time riding that thing too. "In cold blood" is when it's done in an emotionless, matter-of-fact sort of way. Like if you just went to buy some cigarettes and then, for no apparent reaso...

Mine arrived today along with the second volume of One Piece. Annoyingly I got hit with a £15 ($24) tax charge on top of the $70 (approx.) that I paid for the two collections. One thing that struck me that I don't remember reading about is that the Dragon Book seems like it doesn't really want to be...
