Re: Kai Episode 47 (7 March 2010)

I still don't get why there's so much flack over "no insert song." I'm not even saying it was the greatest thing ever, but what inherently makes a vocal song better than background music? I know a lot of people were hoping for Super Dragon Soul, but for some it sounds like any song with ly...

Re: Which will you get Dragon Ball Z Kai Part 1 or Dragon Box 3?

Dragon Box 3. I've waited far too long to get a non-stupid release of Z. This. Ugh, I hate the timing with Kai. As if FUNimation wasn't already going to have to push to convince people to buy the Dragon Boxes, they've decided to defy all logic and compete with their own product! And, unfortunately,...

Re: Are Earth's greatest fighters orphans?

And Krillin does have a nose... actually he doesn't have a nose but he has nostrils since he can smell. Him not being draw with a nose is the same reason why Chaozu doesn't have one too. It is just a way to show they have small noses, just like when someone draw people with small dots on the place ...

Haha, yeah, I remember that! I was so happy that my e-mail on the subject was read on the podcast. =P Yeah... I'm lame. But I still like hearing my stories, especially since I've since (hah) moved and no longer have my manga with me. Back then it was just because it was fun having story time and pre...

Re: Are Earth's greatest fighters orphans?

I guess he could be implying that at least Yamucha and Tenshinhan made significant contributions/appearances throughout the series while Chaozu pretty much never did anything beyond his initial appearance. Not exactly a causal effect to backstory, though, but I guess overall we feel like we know Yam...

Awesome! I've been looking forward to the DaizenshuuEX official review! I wrote my script for my review video several days ago, but I've been too busy moving to feel like filming it/editing it.

As Anonymous Friend said, there's a difference between lying and thinking someone's stupid. IYou don't have to think someone's stupid to lie to them. I lie to my teachers all the time.

Re: DragonBall Season 4 DVD Box Set Cover Art.

I heard that the Japanese have some kind of complex with missing fingers... Don`t know if its true. I've always heard (and please correct me if I'm wrong) that it has something to do with Yakuza cutting fingers off their victims. I always knew that the Namekseijin had fingers added, but Cell did to...

Re: VIZ + FUNimation + Conference Call = "Exciting Things"

I can really only see it being the Jump special? Unless VIZ was skipping ahead to the TV Animation Daizenshuu, why would they need FUNi's involvement in them?

Re: What are some weird assumptions that you've made?

I remember that my friend had seen the 13 dubbed Dragon Ball episodes before DBZ was dubbed, but it was already a rather vague thing for him, so he made the very mistaken connection that Pilaf was a young version of Piccolo. Fun stuff there!

Re: Kai Episode 47 (7 March 2010)

Well, as much as I agree, I'm glad that they at least had the decency to screw around with DBZ as a new series, rather than edit and reanimate the original show and present it as some "special edition." They can do whatever they want with Kai as long as DBZ isn't screwed around with. So fr...

Re: Kai Episode 47 (7 March 2010)

Yeah, I suppose you're right. In the manga, it's very abrupt. The anime does slow it down and focus on it quite a bit more, but it's still basically the same mood. [*] No Vocal Insert Song: "The scene" didn't need it ( any vocal song, not one in particular), and anyone that thinks it did d...

Re: About Cooler's Final Form...

I just never got how it was a fifth form. If Coola was more powerful than Freeza, and Freeza had transformations to keep his power from getting out of control, why did he hang about in his fourth form? Well, I'll answer my own question: they just numbered things how they wanted to in order to make C...

Re: What are some weird assumptions that you've made?

When I first started watching the show in '98, I saw the little kid in the wilderness who looked and dressed like Goku, and, at first I thought that must be Goku's son, but then I saw the Princess Snake episode where Goku imagines his wife and son running toward him, and the son was in this bright y...
