Re: Super Episode 115 (12 November 2017)

I thought Vegetto would be returning in this episode as Universe 7's answer to Kafla, but two Saiyans with SSB capabilities fused together would probably be too OP for Kafla. Good episode. I think it's safe to say after almost 20 episodes, this Tournament of Power has delivered more than I expected....

Re: Dragon Ball content that is allowed in fan works? (rights talk)

I'm sure just general mention of character names or events from the manga/show are fine on your site/blog, but it's going to be actual images and videos from the shows that you will need permission for. I've never really known FUNimation as a company to strike down fans using their content on fansit...

Re: DVD Singles or Blu-ray Season Sets for Faulconer score?

If you're just going for the broadcast music track as your main incentive to purchase a DBZ home video release, go with the Blu-Ray. It may be difficult to track down ALL of the single disc releases at this point. Amazon is doing a box set release for $175 which I think is a pretty good deal for all...

Re: All-purpose Dragon Ball sale/trade thread.

You guys are either trolling or are confusing the slips with the outer boxes. He just means the flyer that was stuck to the back of the box describing what the Dragon Box is. I don't think that takes any value away from the set if the boxes, dvd books and discs are in mint condition like he said.

Re: Super Episode 107 (17 September 2017)

it's honestly bad writing that roshi broke vegeta free unless frost can't sense ki which probably doesn't make sense. They were better off letting vegeta get sealed and getting free the same way zamazu did since frost didn't use the tailsman Freeza couldn't sense ki at first either, it's actually t...

Re: Dragon Ball Super FT Trunks arc - Your thoughts?!

I still think the new hair color on adult Trunks in this arc kinda ruins it a bit for me. Just seems like it was done to sell more toys. Kid Trunks stayed the same and any scene they were in the same shot just made my brain hurt. I think the arc itself needed more time, it simply suffers from too mu...

Re: Did they suddenly remember Bulma in Super?

The Beerus arc happened on her birthday, she was involved in the Gold Freeza arc because she never got to see Freeza during the original Freeza arc (valid complaint imo, you'd feel gypped if you went to another planet and didn't even get to see the bad guy) and to support the introduction of Jaco's ...

Re: How did DB fans react to Goku retconned as an alien?

I certainly can't speak for anyone on this topic since, like most people who watched the dub first, the arrival of Raditz was my introduction to these characters in story. There is also Piccolo, who definitely doesn't look human, but was just considered a demon/monster until Vegeta and Nappa tell hi...

Re: Post your Resurrection F Theatre Experience

This was my first time seeing a work of Dragon Ball dubbed before subbed since the original debut on Toonami with the Ocean dub...and it was a blast. I like both the original and dubbed cast pretty much the same, but I wanted to avoid watching this movie subbed online so that I could experience it w...

Re: To The People That Switched From Dub To Sub...

The short answer is, if you truly enjoy the world of Dragon Ball, then it won't take long to adapt to the Japanese cast. The long answer, particularly how it relates to my own switching from dub to sub, is a little more complex. For me, I began watching the subbed version of Z via poorly translated ...

Re: Official On-Going DBZ 2015 Movie Thread: "Fukkatsu no F"

Really exited for this movie. My only hope for it is that it doesn't cheapen the events of the Namek saga, which I think has the best story/plot in Dragon Ball. Other than that, I'm totally on board. Hopefully new Freeza material will inspire Nakao to deliver a better performance than he did in Kai....

Re: Post your Battle of Gods Theatre Experience

My step brother was the person who introduced me to Dragon Ball Z way back when it was on Toonami. This was when Goku would land on Namek and then the next day they'd go all the way back to the beginning. He still watched the show until the end but definitely didn't get into Dragon Ball on the same ...

Re: Watching all of DBZ Japanese Subbed (1st time)

Nearly every Dragon Ball fan started on Z if they were introduced to it in North America. It doesn't surprise me one bit if someone wants to revisit the anime and starts with the Z series. I would only impress on someone to start with DB if they truly have not experienced the story in any way whatso...

Re: Official On-Going DBZ 2013 Movie Thread: "Battle of Gods

Without having to comb through this entire thread, has FUNimation released what cities are getting the movie yet? The website doesn't have it yet. I'm in Texas and so is FUNi so I'd assume it'll be released somewhat near to me.

Re: Why did FUNimation spell Freeza with an "i"?

I've come to accept that this is just how adaptations of anime programs will be when they are brought to North America. Even though the Japanese language has katakana for making syllables out of foreign words, the English language will always muck things up because our vowels have long and short sou...

Re: "DBZ: Battle of Z" (360/PS3/Vita) On-Going Discussion Th

Got this game a week ago and already sold it back. I don't play games as much as I used to, but I feel like even if I did, this game would still suck. The combat is just too absurd to me. Really miss the Sparking/Tenkaichi game engine.

The games I still have some interest though I wouldn't say I'd spend time playing them when I could play Call of Duty (MW2/MW3/BO2) online which is actually fun. If however, Namco Bandai made an effort to make an online Dragon Ball game online for 360/PS3 like Zenkai Battle Royale with 6v6 players ...
