Re: Best BGM CD Release?

We're only talking about Shunsuke Kikuchi's music, right? In that case, I would definitely start with the three-disc BGM Collection . It's the most comprehensive Dragon Ball Z BGM set to date. This doesn't include everything (far from it!), but you're getting some of the most popular compositions. T...

Re: Dragon Ball Godly Best

At 19 tracks per disc, they more than likely just ran out of space and didn't want to produce a 3-CD set. As for how they decided which songs to be cut, your guess is as good as mine. I would suspect that the GT songs required a bit of extra cash to sub-license from a different record label, but I d...

Re: Dragon Ball Godly Best

I was kind of hoping against logic that they'd skip the movie themes and make room for some of the rarer stuff like "Orange Hero" (Besides, "Legend Of DragonWorld" is still available if you want a "TV & Movie Themes" album). I knew it wasn't going to happen, though....

Re: Dragon Ball Godly Best

I'm hoping for something like that too since the cd singles for GT are getting hard to find nowadays. Honestly, at this point, I wouldn't even try to track those down. It's way easier (and possibly cheaper) to just research the artists (Field Of View, Shizuka Kudō, DEEN, ZARD, WANDS, ALL CAPS) and ...

Re: Dragon Ball Godly Best

The fact that the bonus DVD includes "DAN DAN" along with the other openings gives me hope that, after 20 years, they've finally assembled the GT opening and ending songs onto a single album. That alone will be worth a purchase from me. And if we can get "Orange Hero" and the Dra...

Re: Official Announcement Thread & Discussion

I'm very interested in learning if there's any additional context for this elsewhere in that 30th anniversary book, and if Toriyama's words are really as harsh as what kei 's translation implies. But really, I think people might be jumping the gun. Even if Toriyama has problems with Super , we don't...

Re: Super's manga by Toyotarō

Movie 11 rules. My only hope (for Super in general, not just this tournament) is that all of the characters who want to fight get a chance to fight. That's all you could realistically ask for. Goku, Vegeta, and Piccolo are obvious. They'll always be the most passionate warriors. We know Buu's fighti...

Re: Old Movies FUNimation dubs how are they?

To recycle a post of mine from a previous thread... I keep meaning to type up dub/sub script comparisons for all the movies. I did the first two, and then basically lost the will to live while working on the third one. It's that bad. Someday maybe I'll finish them. "Curse of the Blood Rubies&qu...

Re: Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butouden (3DS)

Hey, wow! Would you look at that! Thanks. I had no idea that stuff was even in there. I think I just assumed that "Character Chart" was the same as the "Character Gallery" in the extras menu, so I never clicked on it. Neat-o! I think I've 100% completed the game now. Got all of t...

Re: Swearing in the dbz funimation dub?

I'm not offended by any of the swear words used in the subtitle translations or the dubs, but anyone who says they're "necessary" is kidding themselves. And for the people who said it, no, they're not swearing in the Japanese version. All the "bakayarou"s and "kuso"s ca...

Re: Have we heard Toriyama's voice before?

He didn't. A bunch of different voice actors (Isamu Tanonaka, Masaharu Satō, Toshio Furukawa, Hideyuki Tanaka, Naoki Tatsuta, Yūji Ueda, possibly more) played Toriyama whenever he appeared in both TV adaptions of Dr. Slump.

Re: Official Announcement Thread & Discussion

I mean, they already contradicted the ending by not having it be 10 years of peace. The "ten years of peace" thing still works as far as I'm concerned. Future story arcs could easily change this, of course, but I think we're still good. The events of the JUMP special lasted maybe... a cou...

Re: Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butouden (3DS)

I don't think those require codes, though. Do they? Hopefully, if we ever do get that patch, it'll work like the Japanese version and we'll have those characters right out of the gate! But you've got a good point. They could make them code-unlockable for international releases. They've changed other...

Wow, that all happened incredibly quickly. So we just need the code for Jaco and the code for Policeman Kuririn (when/if we get that newest patch). I didn't think we'd have access to everything so soon, for whatever reason. Gah, I can't wait to play this game! As far as I can tell, unlike the Japane...

I can only speak for myself, but I'm personally very happy that Bandai Namco gave us Super Butōden 2 completely unaltered in Japanese. Setting aside the fact that it makes me feel nostalgic for playing my imported Japanese copies of Ultimate Battle 22 and Final Bout as a kid, I just simply like the ...
