Yeah, so I'm backing up all my DVDs and Blu-rays and despite everything, despite knowing about the grain and all that... the 30th anniversary set is still the most visually appealing to me. It's just so sharp and smooth compared to the fuzzy dark look of the Dragon Boxes. Even the Level sets don't l...

Super Complete Series standard edition arrived. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/193111246453735425/1181513835211919420/20231204_212537106.jpg?ex=65815581&is=656ee081&hm=0318be8db0d197b7f347d779098f4f9f80b4a4d5b26aaa3a627eb14b065ba774& https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/193111...

To be entirely honest? I kind of wish that the franchise just finally be put to rest. I liked that Dragon Ball was over. I liked having it all contained in this little box that I can open at any time and just get nostalgic. And when Super became a thing, I was really against it just because it wasn'...

The entire "Oh, it's too weak" argument makes no sense. The beginning of the Cell Saga shows that if Toriyama wants a regular sword to be titanium, then it's going to be titanium as long as it's held by someone strong enough. Giving Toei credit where it's due: I'm glad they didn't forget ...

Why would any of them need to use it, though? It's like bringing a stick to an energy blast fight. Truthfully, they've outgrown it. Kind of like how Trunks uses the sword one time to cut up Freeza--sure, it looks cool, but it's not exactly the most efficient thing to a guy who can do the things Trun...

Is there a Japanese counterpart of the Shonen Jump or Viz apps? I want various version of Dragon Ball mangas (I own the print of the Tankōbon and colored version of the 42 Dragon Ball volumes). I even tried asking ChatGPT, but it so confidently told me that there's definitely a setting in the Viz/Sh...

I've seen it discussed negatively before. "Oh, Goku is so stupid!" But I agree with you; I think this scene is great. You can also feel Kuririn's pain in it. As a kid, I was all "There are no Super Saiyans," etc., but as an adult, I really enjoy just how down and dirty the Saiyan...

I never thought Funimation was trying to trick anime with this. IF they used soundbites from the original Saban dub, I'd imagine that it would be just like how they used the Japanese theme for GT before going all "extremeeeeee" on it. "You think you know the beginning of Z? YoU d0N't ...

You know, people say they their performances are so compromised, as if they're so much harder to listen to than in the original run. And I find that to be greatly exaggerated. But, opinions are opinions, I guess. Nozawa and Horikawa are clearly iconic in those roles and their replacement would cause...

Isn't Crunchyroll the former Funimation, who is officially licensed to dub and distribute Dragon Ball content throughout English-speaking countries? It would seem the most sense.

I would not sacrifice its popularity. Primarily because I think its popularity contributed a lot to what we have. If it wasn't popular, would Dragon Ball ever get past that initial Pilaf arc? Would we ever get Z? Would we get video games? Would we get the anime boom (in the US particularly) that we ...

In my country, we chose to keep the word "Saiya-jin" instead of "Saiyan". It's funny because even JP themselves use "Saiyan" when rendering it in another language (Latin Alphabet-based ones but mainly English). On a few stray images here & there from the original Z...

I have never thought that Sonic X is like Dragon Ball. From my very limited experience with anime, I would say that Yu Yu Hakusho feels like Dragon Ball (the afterlife elements, the fighting tournaments).

That's great! I wonder which video source they're using.

I've only read it in black and white. I have the full colored Japanese version, but never read it. It's pretty too flip through, but I don't know what the reading experience would be like. I would imagine it's really nice. It's probably more striking.

Man, Viz dropped the ball really hard there.

Well, his story is often the least interesting part of Dragon Ball , so I would imagine that's part of the issue here. That's subjective. And also, unproven, since there hasn't really been a Dragon Ball story that didn't feature Goku with the exception of the Z TV specials, Gohan's high school arc,...

Goku is the main protagonist and an icon whose drive is to be the strongest--it makes sense that the story would see him accomplishing this goal. What's everyone else's obsession with trying to put Goku in the backseat of his own story? Well, his story is often the least interesting part of Dragon ...

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 red...
