Re: Which is worse, GT or the Garlic Jr. Saga
I didn't see any power level debates, or anyone being especially aggressive. After Majin Boo, it would have been really difficult for the Super Saiyans to go into space and find any sort of challenge. Freeza conquered basically everything, and he was nothing by this point. GT's story is more like th...

Re: DragonBall Cels
I've been wondering this too.
I imagine they are unique, if they're genuine. They'd be no sense in creating the same frame twice.

Re: Which is worse, GT or the Garlic Jr. Saga
I actually enjoy both, although the last time I watched Garlic Jr was in Japanese, and I found it much less enjoyable that its dub counterpart. I'm currently watching GT in Japanese (after viewing all of DB and Z) and I like that much better this time around, so I'll say if we're talking about the o...

Re: 25th Budokai, Top 5 winners prize money? Huh?
The prize money was still a big deal when it was 500,000 Zeni. Kame-Sennin imagined his lifestyle of having pretty young women waiting on him after winning it.

Re: Most expensive Dragon Ball items you have seen
I saw a cel from the opening of the original Dragon Ball being sold for 880,000 yen on Yahoo! Auctions. *Edit: It was actually 809,888 yen, and one from an eyecatch also was sold for 813,000 yen at the same time. http://yahooauctionwatch.livedoor.biz/archives/52014466.html http://yahooauctionwatch....

Re: Just met Brian Drummond in the gym...
Well, he's a voice actor, I don't think many people actually know what any voice actors look like, unless they've also seen them in full acting roles before.

Re: Saiyans and last names
Other than the Son family, I don't think anyone's family name is ever mentioned, if they do have them.

Re: Have you ever cosplayed Dragon Ball/would you ever?
I have never cosplayed but I don't look the part of Bulma or 18. Maybe, just maybe, Chichi would be an option, but I would need to iron my hair. I would be better off as a generic Saiyan female with my natural WILD dark brown hair. :mrgreen: I wouldn't want to attempt to make that Saiyan armour :P

Re: If Saiyans > Kaioshin why was Piccolo afraid to fight?
I suspect that Piccolo and Kaioshin both assumed that Kaioshin was the more powerful of the two. Even if Piccolo is physically stronger though, Kaioshin has godly powers that Piccolo doesn't, so it could easily have both those that made Piccolo think he couldn't win, or Kaioshin's could have used hi...

Re: Have you ever cosplayed Dragon Ball/would you ever?
I've been seriously thinking about getting a Piccolo Jr costume together, or at least an interpretation of Piccolo Jr, and I was thinking of asking Kanzenshuu for advice on where to get various things. Basically I plan to be green, have a white turban and a white cape that doesn't necessarily need t...

This. Just ask if you can get a picture. If Kai is coming, that's brilliant, but we can't completely believe it quite yet.Gonstead wrote:You better start bringing a camera from now on. I need me some evidence.

Re: Anything that You Guys Didn't Like in the DBZ Dub
The only complaint I have is the script, really. I don't like the censoring of curses, religious references, words related to death or violence etc and the general dumbing down of things. I don't like "powering up" instead of "raising your ki" or anything like that. As I said in ...

Re: REAL Reasons to Dislike the Original Japanese Version
That "macabre circus" effect actually does strike "scary", "twisted" and "disturbing" more than "ridiculous" or "childish" to me, so it really seems quite fitting for Gohan hopelessly getting the crap beaten out of him by freaky demons or s...

Re: Doing DragonBall in real life
I was at primary school when DBZ aired in the UK, and me and two of my friends always used to play DBZ during lunch times and stuff. We had a fantasy in which I was an android, one of them was a Saiyan and one was a half Saiyan on-going for a few years without ever breaking it. Whenever we spoke to ...

Re: A Few Items for Trade/Sale... (Image Heavy!)
I couldn't find my videos, the must have been cleared out or recorded over.
How big are those cels? They look quite small next to the gengas, but I've never seen a genga so maybe it's just that gengas are big. Would you say they're particularly small cels?

Re: Viz to re-release Dragon Ball manga
I think the kanzenban covers would look just fine in the teen section, they're already much sexier and more grown up than the tankobon covers. Ok, what's this teen section thing about? Bookstores I bought the manga in have manga alongside other graphic novels next to sci-fi sections. Not really by ...

Re: Viz media Too re-release DragonBall Manga
Sadly, it doesn't seem to be Kanzenbans. It sounds like the three-in-one omnibuses that Viz does that aren't Viz Bigs, but are the same size as normal tankibons. Even if they are not in the same size, quality, and/or volume numbers, it doesn't mean that the actual content won't be based on the Kanz...

Re: The segments of filler you hated but sat through anyways
During the Saiyan arc when Goku arrived to fight Nappa and Vegeta, it would cut to Kame House and show what they're doing and it's super lame. It's mostly just Chichi saying "Is Gohan okay?" and Gyuumao trying to calm her down or something then we see inside the crystal ball and go back t...
