Re: Dragon Ball rewatch, week 1 - DB episodes 1-5

So now let´s continue, for the remaining Episodes i´ll will take a much simpler approach when it comes to comparing the differences from the German Dub and Manga by making Key Points for just the more noteworthy stuff that was changes in the German Dub. So let us begin: Episode 2 - Ararara–! No Ball...

Re: It's actually amazing that DBZ was successful on Japanese TV

I agree with you on the Dragon Ball myth, but the "God of Planet Vegeta" story comes from a god who certainly knows the real story since he knows exactly who Freeza is and why he should be avoided. Said-god also if you'll recall *desperately* didn't want Goku running headlong into battle ...

Re: It's actually amazing that DBZ was successful on Japanese TV

That's an interesting thought. Probably true, but I don't think plot holes matter to people nearly as much as some would have us believe. I think the closest the Japanese would have come to really noticing a plot hole during their schedule would have been with Goku's pod during the Saiyan arc, as t...

Re: Found a few rather cheap Ebay Deals of Dragon Box 5

Wow, i've managed to get nearly the entire Dragon Box Z collection individually for way less than the crazy listings each are usually listed for on eBay. Most of them either through eBay or Amazon sales have been in the mid $50 range on the low end to about $80 max, with exception of Box 1 which i ...

Re: Found a few rather cheap Ebay Deals of Dragon Box 5

Sorry for the double Post That's still expensive. If you were lucky to get all 7 boxes for around that price it would still come to upwards of $700, and considering the fact the Dragon Boxes were available at $35 a piece during their run these sellers still get the last laugh. If you want it, that's...

Not sure that this is the right thread for this, but in any case: Given there are 2 available, 7 sold, it's "SEALED", and it's in the UK of all places, and the rather low price for the content, I think this is probably just a bootleg. That would be really a bummer, but now that you say it...

Re: Was the Level remastering REALLY too expensive, though? Almost certainly not.

I do not recall FUNi explicitly mentioning cost as a barrier to the Level sets, and when asked point blank in the Kanzenshuu user questions segment (where would I find that? I've found it again before but don't know what category is falls under) the respondent again said it was a number of things. ...

The first Time i heard her Voice must have been when we got Dragon Ball Z Budokai 1 on PS2 in 2002 (i think) when i was around 7 Years old. The European ...

Re: Funimations 30th anniversary collectible home video release

This may sound extremely silly, but why hasn't Toei hired Q-Tec to just remaster the entirety of not only DBZ, but also DB? They did a decent job on Kai, sure it wasn't necessarily the best remaster, but it sure as hell is one of the best remasters we got. If Q-Tec just fixed their mistakes with th...

Re: Funimations 30th anniversary collectible home video release

If only Toei Animation would have a Rule that would prohibit Funimation (and every other non Japanese Company who has Rights to DB ) to mess that much with the original Footage, but they probably don´t care as Long as Funi´s Releases bring in the Cash. It´s really a shame that Toei didn´t made an Wo...

Personally i would recomend you showing him the original Anime Series the way it was made with all it´s 444 Episodes (Plus the Bardock & Trunks Specials), including the Kikuchi Score with it´s original Placement, that way it will consistenly feel like one Series. Kai might have the better Dub, b...
