Re: So Vic Mignogna is going to Super World Con this weekend. Should I get my Broly Funko Pop signed or not?

This is one of those things that's going to be completely up to you, Phoenix. You have an opportunity to receive the autograph of a character you really like. Collecting the autograph of the actor who plays the voice of a fictional character you like only says something about your hobbies. Not your ...

Re: The Broli movie will use dub names in its subtitles, at Toei's request. Could this become the new "standard"?

It would be kinda funny if FUNimation's 30th Anniversary Blu-ray release of Dragon Ball Z had its subs full of dubisms. :lol: Yeah...as a Dragon Box owner it's really hard for me to justify purchasing the 30th anniversary set with the DNR issues. If that set was forced to have dub names in the subt...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" FUNimation Home Release Thread

I don't know what you mean by"generate a brand". Dragonball super is a continuation of dragonball z. The fact that it has dragonball in its name is a brand in itself. Anyway, I dont think any u6 saiyan deserves being on the cover since they all kinda suck even cabba although hes the best ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" FUNimation Home Release Thread

Super is a new show, distinct from Dragon Ball Z despite having similar character designs. It's in FUNimation's best interest as a company to generate a "brand" for Super, and just using popular characters on the cover art doesn't necessarily help with that. Each of these Super releases ha...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" FUNimation Home Release Thread

I just order for store pickup at BestBuy.com on release day for each Super BD. If they have this option available in your area, I recommend it. I live 2 miles from Best Buy so it's faster for me to just go get it in the morning on release day. I was thinking the Androids would get the cover for one ...

TODAY, ON KAMEHA-CON 2019!! Long day, most of it spent driving, but I basically completed my personal quest to find the Dragon Balls today. 16 years ago my dad took me to my first con and I met a bunch of voice actors from DBZ. Over the years I went to a few more cons and started collecting more aut...

Re: Funimations 30th anniversary collectible home video release

It's going to be between $300 and $400. Most triple-A video game Collector's Editions are $300 and those also come with cool printed artwork, toys and other goodies. The price of the DBZ Season 1-9 Blu-Ray collection was $175 at full price so I can see them going for double on the 30th anniversary c...

Wouldn't be terribly shocked at this point if they were lying about the announcement being in February. A lot of the time in situations like this, the messenger usually isn't a high level employee of the company the message is coming from. It's likely that Toei intends to make the announcement on t...

Re: Best VIZ release of the Manga?

I hope they do finish at least the rest of the "Z" storyline in the Full Color volumes. It really is a great product and for somewhat older fans like myself, the price point is acceptable for the quality of product we are receiving. I never bought the manga before so the Full Color version...

Geekdom, would it be possible to get former FUNimation VA's like Tiffany Vollmer and Stephanie Nadolny as guests for next year? I know Tiffany Vollmer still goes to cons sometimes. Not sure about Stephanie but I think something like a full OG cast reunion panel would be pretty cool. https://twitter...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

I think the manga version of the Tournament of Power is doing a good job addressing the stamina and power scaling problems that the anime had. I've heard a few people say that Gohan should not have been on the same level as Kefla but I think those people are paying too much attention to the fact tha...

Re: Fan Service Tipping Point in DBS

For me, it came around the end of the Future Trunks arc. I hate the end of that arc too, but I think it could have been saved without too much rewriting by just having Goku and Vegeta make Trunks a Super Saiyan God at the beginning of the arc and then have Vegeta spend some time teaching him Super ...

Re: Lets have a peaceful discussion about grievances with modern Dragon ball.

For me, I have one major bone to pick with Dragon Ball Super that I think would elevate the show to being exactly as good as Dragon Ball Z with potential to be better. I think Super Saiyan Blue was introduced much earlier than it ever should have been and consequently torpedoed the power scaling for...

Re: Does the sexualization of Bulma at the start of the series bother anyone?

I think it's fine. Part of Bulma's characterization is that while she IS just a sixteen years old at the beginning, she understands a lot about sexual deviancy and let's not forget she was looking for the Dragon Balls to ask Shen Long for a boyfriend. I was 16 once, and the girls were thinking about...

Re: Filler that the series needed.

I don't know about filler in the main show, but I've always felt like this series has sorely lacked a legitimate gaiden, TV special or movie on the origins of the Ginyu Force. How the five of them met and became so feared that they became Freeza's personal hit squad. Maybe they could have done some ...
