Re: It’s time for fans to come together and remaster the series properly.

Ever since my SRTO hit, I’ve entertained the thought of investing $500,000+ of my personally money into remastering the entire series. I would like to hire a company or group of people to work on this under strict supervision. We need to preserve this series in the best possible quality. It’s time ...

Re: Is it true that there were people making money off the Japanese Broadcast Audio?

I have all of them as I lived in Japan most of my life. I sold them all to Chris Sabat at a con for 500,000 dollars.

Re: Great Filler Scenes from the original Dragon Ball.

I *think* it's filler but there's a really hilarious scene during the training for the 21st tournament where Kamesenin teaches Goku to read by making him read smutty stories. I even recall the dub version of this scene being pretty funny.

Re: I'm done with the dub

Been watching the dub since the old Ocean days. If anything - that's the dub I have nostalgia for. It had loads (and I mean LOADS) of problems, but it always felt much more professional than Funimation's in-house dub. At least for several years. My first thought on watching the Ginyu Assault tape wa...

Re: When did you start liking Vegeta?

During his first fight on Earth. He's just such a tough, tenacious bastard. I love him on Namek too, using his wits to isolate Freeza's forces and steal the Dragon Balls. It's only after he gets drunk off the idea that he's the Super Saiyan that he starts making bad decisions. His character arc culm...

So what was the Namekian cataclysm?

We know that all but one the Namekians were wiped out due to some cataclysm that's not really specified. And it must have been one hell of an event because Namekians are a pretty physically hearty race - long lived, naturally ki-proficient and the ability to regenerate. Plus they seemed to fairly te...

I tried watching the first few episodes and to say it was pretty rough to get through is an understatement, so no.

Re: How much have you spent on the franchise?

I've bought 5 or 6 video games and a few DVDs. So a few hundred. And that's over a pretty long period of time.

If I could find the entire manga in English for a pretty cheap price I would snatch that up in a heartbeat.

Re: Why are Hybrid Saiyans stronger than Pure Saiyans?

There's an element of human potential that is seen in the series but never really elaborated on. I mean, all Saiyans in the series seem to have a basis of ki-control. Flying, shooting energy blasts etc. On the other hand, 99.999% of humans don't even seem to realize it exists and only a small handfu...

Re: Erasing Earth's memories of Boo...

I mean, the central moral question of Dragon Ball seems to be "Does it make Goku happy?" I don't think it's meant to be thought about to much.

Re: DBZ Uncensored 2 is gone.

DBZ Uncensored in general has a real "time and place" quality to it. I re-read the site like a year back and saw some inaccuracies and weird, dated humor, fanboyish hyperbole and a general lack of nuance. You kinda have to put yourself in the mindset of a 13 year old from 1999 who was just...

Re: DBZ Uncensored 2 is gone.

I loved DBZ Uncensored. Greg Werner's old site was my first brush with the "real" version of DBZ. He posted a bunch of screen caps from his low quality fansubs, largely without explanation. Thankfully, I discovered DBZ Uncensored and Psaros was able to largely contextualize what I was seei...
