I am a bit worried that some bits that I enjoy will be severely cut down. For instance, the Goku vs. Majin Vegeta fight which barely gets mention in the manga as I recall, was made into the epic badassery that it deserved in the anime. I pray they retain at least SOME of it.

Either you're misreading my question I asked either or you're not understanding me. I said that for the anime the Kikuchi score should be used because it's simply Dragon Ball's music and because Toei has no reason to change the music. Not because Kikuchi's music is better than anything that anybody...

I'm coming into the thread a tad late, but I thought I'd offer my two cents. Personally, I am looking forward to this DBK project and this is coming from someone who has spent much money on the FUNi season sets. I guess the way I see it is they are two versions of the shows, classic DBZ, and revised...

Vegeta during the Cell Saga - a personal interpretation

Hello all, I've read the opinions of others on this board saying that Vegeta basically acted like a moron during the Android/Cell saga and, well, I agree completely. However, I never REALLY noticed how much of a backwards step he took before I began rewatching the series in order while getting the s...

Do you think the dub music invokes everything that the Japanese one does? I think it invokes something entirely different. I personally enjoy seeing what kind of mood Faulconer creates with his music, as it is often times much different from the original. In my opinion, many of his pieces will real...

Hey all. I'm a n00b who was curious, since they are airing the special on Sunday or whatever, have they released an official trailer or anything? I've been looking, but haven't found a thing yet save for pics of Table, the fat aliens, Scarf-Saiyan Goku, and the poster! I hope this isn't a dumb inque...

Alright then. I apologize for making an assumption, but my question still stands, though I'll be fair and modify it a little.

What do you like about the dub music as far as mood goes. Do you think the dub music invokes everything that the Japanese one does?

I agree fully (my fav Gundam anything would have to be Char's Counterattack). However, you can not deny that anime fans who got into anime via the 1999-2000 toonami run will think of Gundam Wing when they hear Gundam. Much like people think of DBZ as the only Dragon Ball series of note. I wasn’t de...

Why did we need to change the music you ask? It's quite simple, this is America ! Also, see metric system. America! FUCK YEAH! What if he does like it because he thinks it's great music? Is he an idiot or something? Not neccessarily, but I fail to see how Fulcner's music can possibly be better than...

So we don't really like the dub? We're just too afraid to let it go because of some kind of weird sentimental attachment to something we don't even like? I don't think so. We like it because we think its good. The same way sub fans like the Japanese music because they think its good. Other fans aro...

Other fans around the globe seem to think the Japanese music is good. I hear those Japanese DBZ music CDs sell pretty well. Wonder if Falcouner's music sells that well.[/quote]

That five disk imported Dragon Ball CD was the best $100 I ever spent! I listen to it almost all the time!

Yeah, CN isn't becoming the best place for anime. The only shows on there that I give a crap about anymore are Bleach and Code Geass. I know that Scifi channel has hat Gurren Laggan show and also are now getting Gundam 00 at some point in the future. This brings me back to something else that I feel...

“Welcome to Thunderdome bitch!” Thanks for the welcome! :) Don't get me wrong... I REALLY liked Gundam Wing a lot… but it’s by NO means my favorite entry in the series by any stretch… I agree fully (my fav Gundam anything would have to be Char's Counterattack). However, you can not deny that anime ...

Hello all. First time poster, longtime lurker. I do pretty much agree with most all that has been said, especially in regards to how DBZ was marketed in the US and how adverse an affect it has had on the product as a whole. I hope this does not take things too far off topic, but I wanted to bring up...
