Re: Funimations 30th anniversary collectible home video release

Dear lord what a mess this became. While I am quite disappointed with what has been shown so far, it makes a bit more sense why I always saw the newer releases as looking a bit off from what I remember growing up with. Still, it is very sad how poorly this whole pack was put together. The art overal...

Re: Funimations 30th anniversary collectible home video release

Does Funimation usually show some video samples of their releases? With everyone talking about the audio and video quality, I'm not as eager to throw my money at this release anymore given all that was mentioned so far. If not, would they be likely to respond requests for samples? Like a youtube tra...

Re: Preferred Printing of the English Manga

You’re forgetting about the Special "Manga-Style" Edition. It was Viz’s first stand-alone release of Dragon Ball. My favorite release would have to be the Full Color release, with the Special "Manga-Style" Edition release as my second favorite, probably becuz of the nostalgia fa...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" CONTINUATION - Announcement & Discussion Thread

I wonder if it's a Salada arc or a Coola arc? Those are the big fan service ideas now that Broli was done. If they were to tackle Cooler/Coola I feel like it would be probably in a movie. One single battle with him instead of having an entire arc around him. Still, it would be nice if they did that...

Re: Preferred Printing of the English Manga

I am too curious about this topic. Out of the complete versions of the manga, which ones would be the best in people's opinion?
I got some mixed feelings about getting the 3-in-1 volumes since I do like the artwork in general.

Re: Ways Dragon Ball makes you happy!

Having grown up with the merchandise before seeing the series for myself, I do have some nostalgia for seeing certain scenes as I had no idea of the context when I first saw things such as Majin Vegeta vs Majin Buu or Gotenks and the Kamikaze Ghosts. Dragon Ball was just this thing that I knew was s...

"That has it all" You mean, the OVAs, Specials, TV shorts and all that, as well as the JPN OBA? TOEI only seems to care about the main series and movies while everything is either on Laser Disc, VHS, DVD or capped by fans. I'd love for the DB 2008 Special to be officially subbed and dubbe...

Re: Broly Seeing Frieza Kill His Father...

Not really sure why you need all the super specific form terminology for this question, but... The basic difference that I'd imagine would come up would be Broly very likely would have ended up killing Freeza rather than just battering him around for like an hour and a half in a rage-induced beatin...

Re: "Dragon Ball FighterZ" Official Discussion Thread

Regular GT Goku though was a character that next to nobody asked for, if people wanted a Kid Goku, they wanted the original one. That's why a lot of people beleive that he's gonna have SSJ4 on him as otherwise, his inclusion makes no sence. Using western fanbase as evidence isn't a smart thing to d...

It would be helpful for people to actually just get to the core of the issue instead of creating all these side distractions.

Re: Vic Mignogna

But people are not. Most of what you see a...

Re: "Dragon Ball FighterZ" Official Discussion Thread

It feels like they wanted to have a Kid Goku without giving up on him having his signature moves from Dragon Ball Z, so they got Kid Goku from GT as a compromise. There is no real reason for Kid Goku from GT to have the power pole, so it could mean that they are going to give some of Kid Goku's move...

Re: Vic Mignogna

How would you respond to 'both sides' are unreasonable? Judging by how far things went, this is probably the best approach to this whole mess. While people in favor of Vic are being quite a bunch of a-holes, people against Vic did fabricate evidence here and there. I'm not gonna condone someone for...

Re: Best Ways to Enjoy DBS (from a 20 year DB fan who nearly left the show)

Yeah, if you care about power scaling you are going to get mad.
But to be fair, the whole thing about putting a number to power has always been "do not trust the numbers, a battle goes far beyond that."
If you had that mindset, the whole series as a whole feels a bit more enjoyable.

Re: Vic Mignogna

Being someone in favor of social justice is not necessarily something bad, but attacking people in the name of it is. For example, you see someone being racist towards someone else and you call them out. In that case you acted in favor of social justice without being a jerk about it. Now let's say y...

Now how horrible would it be if this turned out to be an April Fool's joke? I'm sure it isn't but I sure would love to see a video preview for this soon. Wouldn't be horrible, but it is too much effort for it to just be a joke. Honestly, I feel like I would be more ok with this Goku's design if the...

Even if this is a collector's release, I wish they would give you the option to just get the series without a bunch of extra stuff that doesn't really add much to the release.

Yeah, Sean Schemmel is largely the one member of the cast that everyone seems to view as problematic. But I still feel like the way the American cast does things is somewhat weird.
