Finally, thanks to many kind and dedicated community members the 'Highest Quality' version of the Westwood/ Ocean/ Blue Water dub that aired on Cartoon Network/CNX in the UK and several other regions has been completed. As far as I'm aware, some parts of the Boo sagas of Z remain only available in ...

This is great stuff, who wrote this? It's good to hear we can have faith in Simmons' translations. All me. Thank you. :) Some criticise his subtitles for being a bit too literal in their phrasings These "some" don't actually know Japanese, though, and just assume the lines are phrased the...

Hopefully what this means is they're making sure the Dragon Box masters of Z are properly prepared before throwing them online with the sub version, just like it was on FuniNow.

Realistically, this was never what OG DB was in its entirety. The first tournament moved away from this, and Red Ribbon was transition away from it. Personally, I like both. The wacky adventures were fun, but I'm glad it changed so that aspect didn't overstay its welcome. The Piccolo Daimao arc, pos...

Goku continues to punch his grandpa's remaining ball until he's interrupted by someone walking in on them. This is a bit much. That's RICH. Seconded I've never heard of those problems before, but if they did indeed state that Gohan never stopped training, then they would be contradicting Maekawa, w...

his death needs to happen in order to restore the DBs, so from a morally standpoint, is he willing to help against the other dragons? he helped Goku against his brother, and then against Omega. He is like a double agent. Well, he could give up the Dragon Ball. But presumably he would lose all his p...

It's pretty good. Lots of broad appeal. Easy to get into at any point. Lots of it to enjoy.

https://i.imgur.com/5LhxYZo.png Hello, ladies, gentlemen, and everyone between and beyond, and welcome to week 113 of the first Dragon Ball rewatch of the decade. We're doing five episodes a week, and we'll be watching every single episode of Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, and Dragon Ball GT. All 508 ...

In regards to the Oceanus Shenron fight, am I the only one wondering where did Pan get a spare set of identical clothes for Goku? :lol: His clothes got shrunken alongside his body back in Episode 1. Maybe he got a tailor to make him another few sets before he left, and Pan still had a change of clo...

Well, I think the poll's result is fairly clear. 59-63 being one episode longer is not what people want. 64 and the movie being together in one week is the winner of those two options. However, in the next thread I'll run another poll, for whether 64 is on its own, followed by the movie in its own w...

I lack the right education to comment on any trans issues inherent to her character or the story, so I won't comment on that either way. It's not really my place to as a straight cis white dude anyway. It's everyone's place. Don't let your straight cis white male identity stop you from calling out ...

I guess, there was some backlash from the fans and they chose to lose Trunks completely, instead of adjusting his character... and having Goten with him would've been a good move. Like Toriyama, I don't think Toei was paying any attention to any backlash you may imagine happened. Though realistical...

Personally, I’d rather the 10th anniversary film and the finale have their own separate threads but I understand if you and KBABZ want to end this sooner than later, you guys have stayed committed to this for over 2 years. That is an interesting proposal that hadn't occurred to me, and that I don't...

No. I just checked the episode myself. Blue does indeed address the officer as Dock in the Japanese version when he’s telling him to lead the B team to Kame house and to lose weight because he doesn’t like the chubby type. Dock just says “yes sir” over and over. Why Toei credited the character in a...

But I suggest that you should stop thinking that official distributors are always thoughtful and have access to some sort of magic that you can never fathom. This. And, using your thoughts as a jumping-off point to add my own thoughts on this line: It's entirely possible for an official distributor...

If you watch on Funimation's streaming service in Japanese, you'll have better video quality than any purchaseable version at the moment (DBZ in particular uses the Dragon Box masters), and it will all use the nice and accurate subtitles of Steve Simmons and Clyde Mandelin. As for the subtitles them...

Awop-bumpa-looma-balup-bump-boom! Blue Water's dub apparently just cut the frames where you can see her boobs, but otherwise left the scene intact. To those of you who missed out: thanks to a poor-quality/incomplete YTV rip I got from a torrent of mostly UK broadcasts of the Dragon Ball trilogy, I ...

[i, and the unnamed officer who led the Red Ribbon Army in a raid of Roshi's island in DB episode 49 (Funimation invented the name Dock for him; it's sometimes claimed he was given this name in the Japanese credits too, but I have found no reliable source for this). Eh? https://www.kanzenshuu.com/e...

It amazes me how consistently people will leap to the defence of some shitty box set that's notably inferior to the Dragon Boxes; first the 30th anniversary sets, then the SelectaVision DB set, now this SV DBZ set. Feels just like the people who leap to the defence of the Orange Bricks in every othe...
