Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions

Well, I've discovered something that's pretty infuriating. A few years ago, digitized my entire physical media collection, including the 30th anniversary Blu-ray set. However, the way I digitized that 30th anniversary set doubt preserve some things that I just recently noticed. So, I decided to redo...

Re: Your opinion for the original 3 Dragon Ball movies.

I didn't really like them, to be honest. When I was a kid, getting VHS tapes of the first 13 episodes and first two movies, I thought that the movies were just great--but that's because I liked anything to do with Dragon Ball. As I got more desensitized to Dragon Ball (meaning, the "WOW!" ...

Re: What is the best place to buy the GT perfect guides?

Ebay has a ton of them. I would say they aren't rare, but certainly not in print currently.

We will probably get a Blu Ray version of the orange bricks, "improved' with AI upscaling.
You will get nothing and like it!

Re: unpopular opinion: kenji yammoto should have never got fired

Truthfully, it's not like he was really hiding the fact that he was "inspired" (for lack of a better word) by existing music. He took "inspiration" from very mainstream, well-known music. I guess the only real thing I can compare this to is wrestling. There have been countless in...

Re: Where is the most likely and/or most preferable place for Ocean's Dragon Ball Kai to be seen (in your view)?

The Ocean Kai dub is something that never seemed to have a purpose to begin with. Why do another english dub when Funi nailed it brilliantly the first time? The same could be said for the Westwood/Ocean and Blue Water dubs, but they do exist. The work was already done. The actors already got paid. ...

Re: The Dragon Boxes and Their Faults

There's something really nostalgic about the Dragon Boxes. Like they don't hide the series' age. I like that. The colors and audio--they're just the best preservation of an old series without it being like a 40-year-old going to college parties. Thing is though, both the colors and audio of the Dra...

The Dragon Boxes are the best we have available. Definitely. Also, can anyone tell me if their Dragon Box 7 is slightly ta...

Re: On this day 20 years ago Toonami launched in the UK and Ireland

Did it have the same fate as US Toonami? Wehere at some point in the mid-2000s, it went from cool and edgy and became cartoony? Yes, it eventually became a dumping ground for shows with any action Cartoon Network aired. I remember Pokemon moved to the regular Cartoon Network in 2006 a year before T...

Yes! Lol As a matter of fact, more than one thing! The earliest I can trace this idea back to is 2000, while the "Android Saga" was airing on Toonami. That's the earliest that I know I actually put this idea down on paper (well, typed it). The idea for my "fan series" was that it...

Re: Dragon Ball and the "It gets good in about 85% of the way!" mentality

Maybe I'm in the wrong, but if I'm watching a show, I give it 3 episodes tops to see if it grips me. I don't have the time in my life to dedicate to media that I don't enjoy. I made that mistake with Hannibal--I said, "Oh, it's a show about Hannibal Lecter! Oh, well... I'm sure it gets good. Oh...

Re: People who genuinely argue the humor added in dubs "Improves the show"

What's considered "humorous" is subjective. Some people might like that the Funination dub sprinkled their brand of "humor" into the series. Personally, as a fully grown adult, I have trouble sitting through a lot of that old dub--I can't lie. It's just so cheesy. I know that in ...

I'm sorry, but I can't agree. Art does have owners--the people who thought of it. In my opinion, it's so naive to try to take someone's creativity away from them. People make a living off of their art--they feed their families with it. Not just anyone makes millions--it takes exceptional talent to m...

Somewhat relevant. https://twitter.com/leetockar/status/1678967650175836161 Wonder if Lee Tockar is saying Zaboera as a character is like Freeza, or that the voice he uses for both characters is similar?
