Re: Wow, the Japanese soundtrack is horrible!

I would agree if the Kai music wasn't being used on an existing product that was essentially re-edited. That's my huge problem with it...and the constant loops I mentioned before. The music itself is fine (great, even), but it wouldn't been a helluva lot better if used on a newly animated Dragon Bal...

Hironobu Kageyama Interview

Semi-Dragon Ball related. Hironobu Kageyama talks about his feelings on the otaku culture, JAM Project expansion into other territories, and his goals. There's some bits on CHA-LA-HEAD-CHA-LA as well.

This. With Kai coming out on Blu Ray and DVD, it just seems efficient to phase these out.

I think the male Robin has disturbed by image of her/him. And it looks like Nami and Luffy just swapped physical appearances.

Re: Dragon Box Z 2's Hands On Discussion

My review's up over at Amazon just in time for the release date. Just finished watching all the episodes back on Saturday. Remastering is great as expected. Loved the Dragon Column for this box, specifically, the "Impressive Words" and Top 3 Countdowns. I think Son Goku's "Sorry, Sorr...

Re: Wow, the Japanese soundtrack is horrible!

Kai's soundtrack in the series has the problem of repeating the same pieces in a constant loop. Granted, Z has a similar issue, but the time between playing a piece is so fast, there's hardly room to breathe. I like Kai's music...just not the way it's being used in the series.

Re: Dragonball Kai licensed, Chance of DB+DBGT Dragonboxes less?

If anything, all I ask for is that FUNi releases the Dragon Ball Dragon Boxes. I'm quite content with the Dragon Ball GT Lime Boxes, but the original Dragon Ball is what I really want for a Dragon Box treatment. Until then, I'll just keep supporting the current Dragon Box releases (with Kai possibly...

Re: Is the DBZ fighting game franchise a dying breed?

Well, if that happened, I'd want a new anime or manga. Well, a new anime anyway, with maybe a few manga oneshots to go along with it occasionally. That way, Toriyama can blow through the story in a few weeks and then let the Toei guys take it from there. He wouldn't have to draw a damn thing he did...

Re: Dub lines that would've been good manga replacements/additio

I imagine it's mostly due to the fact that Toei colors the Super Saiyans' hair blonde or a faded blonde most of the time. I never did see the blue eyes though. I always see an ocean green or light green color for the eyes.

Ditto. It's going to be even more interesting when you guys get a dub actor on board. Kyle Herbert? Chris Sabat? Sean Schemmel? Looking forward to that whenever it comes out.

Re: How does the remastering look on the Dragon Ball Blue Boxes

I'll just do my best in supporting the Dragon Box releases. I'll worry about whether or not FUNimation will release the DB Dragon Boxes after all the other DBZ Dragon Boxes are released. If not, I can settle for the blue bricks. By then, they'll be significantly cheaper.

Re: How many of you own the entire series?

I collected 'em thinking that they'd probably be the best we'd ever get in the way of a consistent full release (that didn't require me buying five hundred billion singles), and I was frankly at that point sick of still relying on early 90's fansubs and taped off IC VHS tapes like I had been for cl...

Re: Dragon Box Z 2's Hands On Discussion

Any reason why there were no subtitles for the pre-Ginyu launch scene in episode 58? Probably because the guy was spouting random Engrish. I only picked up a few words and those I can't even remember. lol Pretty forgettable and unnecessary if you ask me, so I can kinda see why subtitles weren't put...

Re: FUNimation Announces "Kai" License ("DBZ Kai")

Much faster than I expected. I'll definitely be picking it up after I'm done with the Dragon Boxes and purchase a Blu-ray player (or PS3). If the dub is going to be handled with care as FUNimation claims it to be, I might check it out the English voices. I didn't mind the casting (with exception of ...

Re: What Was Your Introduction to the Japanese Score?

For me, it was both fansubs of the films and the Ocean Group dubs of Movies 1-3. I think the fansubs came first. I loved the score the first time I heard it. Kikuchi does have some odd choices for instruments but I still like his experimentation. I like orchestral scores for any media in general as ...

Despite that, I still prefer the original largely du...

Re: Buying Dragonbox Z 2 from RightStuf

My Dragon Box 2 has shipped as well. I expect to get it either Friday or Saturday. Though, I don't think I'll have as much time to watch it considering all the video game and manga purchases I've done as well. The One Piece speed-up, Mass Effect 2, and Tatsunoko vs. Capcom in particular.
