Re: An explanation for the GT "plothole" with Pila

... I think it's safe to assume Pilaf and his cronies could be brought back to life no problem; clearly implying Porunga only strayed from reviving pure evil beings (such as those psycho gunmen). Well, thoughts? Sounds reasonable enough to me, I never really considered Pilaf to be all that evil. Ev...

I have a suspicion that this sudden interest in Goku's height stems from Son Goku's wikipedia article, where a certain poster was attemtping to have Goku's official height changed because the Daizenshuu didn't match the Japanese wiki Goku.

I was going to ask what Super Sonic did; do you mean the original dub from the Saban days, or the dub music from Funimation's season one box set? My answer is the same either way; Japanese is superior. 8) But it wouldn't even be a close contest between the two dubs, the original music was pretty goo...

I've had the chance to sit down and watch my own boxset now, which I should mention I over-payed for, so I feel I should throw my two cents in. Packaging: Here's a shocker, it sucks. The layout and colors are just plain and ugly, and I cringe to think that all subsequent releases are going to be &qu...

But to be fair, it's Yajirobe's face. That's almost to Funimation's credit right there. :wink:

I'm looking forward to Corey's review, I have a few opinions of my own after watching the whole thing for myself.

It's not really said; Boo became much larger and muscular of course, but this doesn't always mean that there was a significant power increase. He may have just taken on a few of his characteristics and fighting techniques. I'm inclined to think that's what happened, and that Boo's power didn't chang...

On second thought, I think I will write Funimation a letter. However like Corey said, I'm going to mention the Dragon Box film specifically and let them know in no uncertain terms that I'll accept nothing less. If Funimation doesn't want to give it to us, the R2 releases from Toei are an acceptable ...

While I commend Corey's work and everyone's actual initiative to make Funimation hear what the fans want, I don't think I'll be sending any letters and for a good reason. It was made clear to me by Funi's bs tech explination and season 1 release, that they either are unable or unwilling to shell out...

I'm really loving these covers of yours. I don't know if it's exactly what you want, but I have a picture of transformed Zarbon and Dodoria from the Sparking NEO site.

Why aren't "Majin Buu" or "Super Buu" copyrighted like the others? I don't think they can copyright "Super Boo" because it was a fan-term long before it was an official one. As for "Majin Buu", maybe Funimation (or whoever's in charge of coprighting stuff) is...

Namekian mutants maybe. I just think of them as demons with a touch of Namekian ancestry in them. They clearly don't share all Namekian traits like regeneration.
