Kanzenshuu

I am planning on purchasing the entire manga series for the first time. However, I am getting inconsistent reviews for each English edition of the manga. Some reviews state that the "Viz Big" editions are heavily censored (Mr. Satan replaced by "Hercule", no middle fingers, poorl...

Just bought these posters online. I swear, that pic of Goku facing Bills/Birisu makes me feel like a kid again. Anyone else getting any Battle of Gods merchandize?

Honestly, I am anxious to watch "Battle of Gods" as soon as I can. As far as I see, the only way to do this would be through Torrent downloads. Would it be possible to open a thread regarding this, or is it against the rules?

Thank you.

This is one of the best threads I've seen in awhile. I really enjoy how diverse the opinions are on what I used to think were very popular trends. For me: - I hate the Red Ribbon arc, except for the Tao Pai Pai/Korin stuff. - I only really enjoy Movies 3, 9, 12 and 13. The rest are mediocre IMO. - D...

I thought the Bebi saga was very well written. You can tell they put a lot of thought into it. BTW, I'm talking about the Japanese version w/ the Japanese track. I can't stand the English music on that show. It dulls anything remotely interesting.

What series? Dragon Ball, no bloody Z, GT or (Z) Kai. (nice little Star Trek reference for anybody who cares) considering, with the exception of GT of course, there is no separation in the original story. I think one thing we're forgetting is even Toriyama didn't get to do things exactly as he want...

In all honesty, Dragon Ball didn't teach me anything specific. Instead it gave me an escape from reality and something to love. Like many others, I grew up with Dragon Ball. I wouldn't have gotten into it if it wasn't for my older siblings nor if it wasn't on TV. I didn't care much for it once othe...

As for Super 17 being killed by Goku: Goku had stated moments earlier that he couldn't even lift a finger. Seconds later he's launching a fully fledged Ryu-Ken/Dragon Fist followed by a Kamehameha. :lol: It was very cinematic though and I always enjoy that scene. The only way that makes any sense is...

-edit

If you think about it, they really have done it all. Even turning the good guys evil would be too reminiscent of the Bebi arc in GT. I think the only choice from the DB universe would be a fallen Kaioshin. I hope they do something more inspired this time around.

dbgtFO, great post man. Just like in real life, power will many times be the difference once skills are matched. I remember a few weeks ago watching Olympic Basketball, and you would literally have Lebron James out muscle 3-4 guys at the same time for a rebound or during a dunk :lol: . I remember th...

To be honest, as much as I love and thank Kai for what it's done for me and my love for this franchise, it's existence is justified just by fixing the Goku vs. Frieza fight. I've stated this before: Goku vs. Frieza (before SSJ) is very good. However, the pace of SSJ Goku vs. Frieza is maybe the wors...

001-053: Ocean Dub [Z] 054-291: FUNimation Dub [Z] Kai's FUNimation dub is better but Kai stripped out content so it doesn't count as a dub to cover it, for me. ... You are aware that the Ocean Dub of 1-53 cut out 15 episodes worth of material so that it covers upto Japanese episode 68, right? At l...

- My first reaction to Super 17? - "That is one cool design".

Really like Bebi's designs too. All of them are solid. I don't love the Dragons though. They're not bad, just not great.

I know exactly what you mean man. The new FUNImation dub is just that damn good. I mean, I know tons of adults that love to watch Dragon Ball in Japanese. However, when it comes to English this is the dub that actually does the story the best service for most adults I know. They can actually get emo...

I'm so happy to hear that, Aoi! lol, you'd be surprised. I got 4 students absolutely hooked on DBZ Abridged. They are Grade 8s too, which makes it even better. Last year, I was suddenly screamed at: "Sir! We watched all 28 episodes of Abridged! It was so funny!". I couldn't help feeling t...

By the way, does anyone else think that FUNImation will release the dub of this film , along with "Yo Son Goku and his friends return" as a double feature DVD/Blu Ray? It seems to me that this is what they're going to bank on in the near future.

Dragon Ball, to me, was never about limiting one's imagination. One of the biggest draws for me is how Toriyama always managed to surprise me with the next instalment of villains. I think we've been a little disapointed with how unimaginative GT was (literally recycled the Tuffles, and Android 17), ...

I disagree the voice acting for the characters are more heart felt in the ocean dub. Vegeta actually sounds menacing and psychotic in saiyan saga, and namek saga, while in the remastered he sounds constipated. Goku voice actor along with the others all seem to fit with the others as well. Also Ocea...
