Re: DragonBall Z Kai - Cable TV Version (NickToons)

Wow, where have I been? I didn't even know this thread existed... Anyway, really loving all audio in these last few episodes. The only thing I'm not too thrilled about is Trunks and Ox King, but thankfully the second is only in it for a scene or two. I just don't understand why they called for the g...

Re: Nicktoons to Air DBGT in North America (Confirmed)

Again, it's not that the music is terrible, or that Menza has no talent. It's that the music never stops playing, and isn't particularly fitting for what happens to be going on.

Re: New Era Dragon Ball Hats

Since I live in the States, I couldn't just try to buy one from that site, right? The sites english translator broke in 2008 and I think they removed it. If you can read Japanese then you should be able to order and have it shipped internationally. If not then use this. http://global.rakuten.com/en...

Re: Episode of Bardock: Giant On-Going Manga + Anime Discuss

Honestly, the animation was so fluid in that scene, that I didn't care what they were showing. I just enjoyed it as much as I could for what it was. So what if it doesn't fit the tone of what this special should've been? Practically nothing else about it did either. To me, these select animation gem...

Re: Episode of Bardock: Giant On-Going Manga + Anime Discuss

Personally, I prefer the idea that you can only become a Super Saiyan without the tail... But honestly, I'm surprised so many of you are defending this special so much. It's not that I dislike Bardock...I actually like him more than I feel like he deserves to be liked as a character (with the amount...

And who exactly was Chilled? A member of Freeza's clan and the self-proclaimed mightiest space pirate~!! I kinda got the space pirate part, but I wasn't sure if they were the same race or if he was one of Freeza's ancestors or something. I'm still not too clear on the time travel thing. Also, did a...

Re: Nicktoons to Air DBGT in North America (Confirmed)

I'm not going to act like GT was better than Z overall, but I'm unbiased enough to admit that there were times where GT's animation and overall art direction looked better than Z's. I don't know. At times, GT's colors literally made me feel nauseous. As for the drawings themselves, GT did have some...

Re: Episode of Bardock: Giant On-Going Manga + Anime Discuss

I...just don't agree. I don't think Bardock feels ANY remorse for those who he has killed before. The bond he feels with Beri is comparable to the relationship between Tapion and Trunks, but it's not even that strong. If he's doing this for any reason other than getting revenge on someone who he see...

Re: Nicktoons to Air DBGT in North America (Confirmed)

Maybe Toei has something secretly in the works for the Buu Arc portion of Kai? And because of this, they're deciding to just go with the momentum and show GT in the meantime, only to come back to it once it's finished? Huh? Huh? :D

Huh? :|

Re: Episode of Bardock: Giant On-Going Manga + Anime Discuss

I don't think that it's fair to compare Bardock being a Super Saiyan to the kids becoming Super Saiyans. At that point in the series, genetic theories aside (becoming Super Saiyan changes your DNA and allows you to pass it on so your offspring are born with generally higher battle powers and can ach...

Re: Episode of Bardock: Giant On-Going Manga + Anime Discuss

regardless it was better then the 2008 special but its less then 20 mins ether way. I don't think it did a single thing better than the '08 special. The only thing I would consider them equal in is voice actors, but that's a given. The animation seemed more lazy, the colors were less appropriate, t...

Re: Episode of Bardock: Giant On-Going Manga + Anime Discuss

Well...that was about what I expected. The animation was about as good as PtEtSS, and the music seemed very similar (if not the same). So whatever you thought of that, you'd think of this. At times the colors were good, but other times, they seemed too vibrant for a Bardock story. Story-wise, nothin...

Re: Toriyama's Teachers/Students?

n a year Toriyama drew over 500 pages of manga Now this is news. For a while now, I was always under the impression that he himself wasn't that crazy about manga in general (probably because I kept hearing he was in it only for the money) but I don't think you invest that much effort into something...

Re: Nicktoons to Air GT (Confirmed)

This makes no sense to me. It's not like the line between the end of Cell and the rest of the series is blurry...all they had to do was air the entirety of the last 3 Orange Bricks (episode wise).
