Re: New Dragon Ball Fan

Finished Volume 2, wish I'd bought some more. And which version would you reccomed me watching first? Is the original better, or is Funimation equally as good? If you want something that equates the experience you have reading the manga, stick to the subtitled Japanese option with any release you p...

Yep. Specifically says "for children" too. A la tear-free.

Re: New Dragon Ball Fan

I (and millions of other fans) have nothing bad to say about Dragon Ball (Z/GT). It's one of the most fun, self-aware cheese fests you'll ever find. It's not perfect, but if you actually let that bother you at any point, you're taking it too seriously. Also, I love that despite how irreverent the se...

Re: Tanooki's Retro Review: DragonBall Z '97 Episodes 1- 4

I didn't start watching the show until the end of Funimation's Freeza arc, but I saw most of the Saban era episodes via re-run and DVD. You know, the picture quality, editing, and script may be hilariously bad, and techinically I didn't even grow up with them, but for some reason I wouldn't mind hav...

Re: Stupid things you've ignored.

Yeah, I was always skeptical of the Androids being stronger than freaking Super Saiyans. But then again, where do you go from an intergalactic emperor? Preferably somewhere less stupid, or at least more self-awarely stupid like Buu (who, even then, he was a demon designed to kill gods. That's prett...

Re: Stupid things you've ignored.

To me, there has always been one stupid plot contrivance above all others. Freeza crafted a galactic empire out of his strength and acquired technology. He was feared throughout space. Meanwhile, on Earth, which is a technologically primitive planet, some old guy just makes three androids far strong...

Re: Who else's favorite arc is The Buu arc?

It's not my favorite part of the series (early Namek is), but it's up there. It's silly, but it's exactly where the story needed to go at that point for a number of reasons. Not to mention it's just damn entertaining. On the surface, it's some pretty epic stuff. Goku and company have come so far tha...
