Well huh. I guess it's just been too long since I've watched that part of the series. Funimation needs to get done with the Z Dragonboxes so I can start laying down for more blue bricks (or Dragon Ball Dragonboxes).

Finished Volume 5, not too keen on the Red Ribbon so far but they have potential. I'll write my arc review sometime soon, maybe tommorow or Monday. Red Ribbon starts out slow, but by the time you get to the third major officer, it really picks up. Seems like the whole arc is kind of 50/50 in terms ...

I don't remember this at all. When did it happen?

Seriously. I'd like to hear of these words because I know there are extremely rude ways of phrasing things, but I've never heard of straight-up curse words in the sense that we have them in English. This. There is no set of taboo words like we have in English, only words and phrases that are extrem...

That bear is terrifying. Why does it have people arms?

Why does it have people arms?!

I don't think "Allow me to pull this transformation out of absolutely nowhere with 0 build up." "Oh hey I have this certain technique that can save us all and we just happen to have the right people to do it here and now." "Yeah there's two fusion methods now. What are the ...

But it's DNA, so it would already be encoded in their genes. You can't just get rid of DNA by yanking off someone's tail. You'll accept that Cell's genes give him strength and special moves it took the other fighters years to develop, and that he is able to transform by swallowing a human girl in a...

That's Boo arc level of stupid convenience. If it was like the Buu arc, it would be self-aware and hilarious. Anyway, it's been too long since I've seen it to judge. But I remember really enjoying it when I saw it on TV for using minor characters and having some fairly condensed storytelling. Those...

No, that's just the reason Kai sucks.

The reason it's self-censored is because broadcasting standards have changed since the original anime aired.

Kami created the BSDBs. They should have vanished along with Earth's original set when Piccolo absorbed him. Pilaf explains that the single entity that was Piccolo and Kami created the Ultimate Dragon Balls before defusing. So they would have been absent all throughout the series up until Piccolo a...

Only on the internet do people care this much about a character's virginity.

I'm going to use the idea that his DNA was gathered from only tail-less Saiyans as the explanation for something this stupid never happening.

Not that crap again... His English skills have nothing to do with that. If you want to make fun of them, do so regarding "Red Ribon" and "Well Come". Not "Bulma". That's another matter altogether. How so? He's demonstrated time and time again that he has no concept of ...

I think it's pathetic. Hey, that man had a family. He toiled day after day with nothing but his hoe and shotgun to provide for his loved ones. And then he died, bravely, tragically, for a cause he could never comprehend. And finally, when his noble sacrifice is immortalized in plastic, all you can ...

I'm confused. If this is the cuts from Z, are they cutting out blood and cuss words or just removing blood from scenes? WHYYY would they make an editted version of something now?! It's 2010, not '98. They're removing some instances of blood. Probably because Japanese television was actually more la...

Actually, on the Bulma spelling... couldn't it be part of the joke? I remember in her first appearance she was pretty embarrassed about where her name came from. Seems like Toriyama may have had her wear a shirt with a wrong romanisation to show her trying to distance her name from its origin. No. ...

Silver Sinspawn wrote:Best part of the movie. Chi Chi loses her shoe. Or, when Trunks blushes.

Correction:

The best thing about the movie is "Not until the fish jumps."

And all its animation problems can be nicely summarized by a quick round of "Pick Which Ice-Chunk Goku's Under."

Well, I'm with you up until that point. By its very definition "dub-only terminology" is inaccurate, simply because it doesn't exist in the original. And I don't think fans should have to tolerate and accept inaccuracies with as much credence as elements from the actual series. The argume...

So, where does that leave us? In the end, the word "Fr i eza" encompasses everything most hate about what FUNimation has done to the series we love. For most, it was the last straw. It's more than just a word, it represents FUNimation's commitment to thoroughly bitch-slapping the series a...

So goddamn sexy. I won't be buying this for another two weeks though. Getting new Dragon Box during end of semester = terrible idea.
