I would say that, from a purist perspective, FUNimation should have used the Japanese titles directly translated , but I honestly do prefer the English ones. They actually sound like movie titles to me. I generally don't agree with changing anything, but this is one change that I welcome. The Japan...

I have (relatively) recently started collecting all of the German manga volumes. The one that you see at the top is actually a two-in-one, which I don't recommend, because it's tiny, has terrible paper, and doesn't have the spine image. That one is actually not a recent purchase, though. It's a few ...

Also, if we're treating the Dragon Boxes as a release for purists, that is impossible, given the music replacement.

I think I would rather have a name that makes slightly less sense given the romanizations of "Kakarrot" and "Vegeta" than have a name which is blatantly NOT a valid romanization.

I don't know how replacement music can fit better than the music that was actually made for the show itself.

Also, I will note that I think Brice Armstrong is probably the best English narrator.

I take issue with the Kanzenban being described as the "definitive" release, seeing as it is censored (Bulma has had a cigarette in a title page erased) and contains George Lucas-style "corrections", like coloring in one of Tenshinhan's armbands, and of course, the new ending. It...

...Do most people just not think the cut filler makes Kai an improvement over Z? I only ever watch the Japanese version of either show and still think Kai is superior because the pace of Z is absurdly slow.

Not really a writing decision, ie something having to do with the story, and the Japanese version will always be there anyway.

I was just looking for a general translation, not necessarily something that fit the mouthflaps. In that case, yours would be better, yes.

And to go even further, could you translate Kaioken as "Fist of the Lord of the Worlds"?

I recall Adamant saying that the Danish manga was translated from the German version, which itself is pretty good based off of the small amount of the German manga that I do own. Probably better than Viz, and certainly better in terms of being (to my knowledge) completely uncensored visually. EDIT: ...

I "grew up" watching Dragon Ball Z on Toonami (in quotes because I was like 6 when the last episode aired in the US), but by the time I was getting back into the series, I had already discovered this forum, so for me it didn't really take much adjustment. In other words, I wasn't here long...

I thought it was pretty good overall, but the one thing I didn't like was the flash animation for the mouths and certain things like that. It stuck out like a sore thumb.

Is FUNimation going to get this person for the dub of the Kai Boo arc?

Nah. In general, I think we're long past the point where a redub of DBZ is needed or even worthwhile. Kai and its good dub have made it obsolete. What I would like to see and believe desperately need to be re-dubbed, however, are the Z movies and TV specials. Let me get my Ayres-Freeza fix in the B...

Bummer that they went full-on with the dubisms, urgh. At this point, I'm okay with not getting a dub, considering the treatment it'd get. AND the reaction from both sides of the fandom, which Sailor Moon Crystal clearly showed. "Bills" and "Wiss" are romanizations of "Birus...

I never really let it slip outside of to people who I know wouldn't care. I had a friend in high school though who called me immature for playing Pokemon, even though like half our friend group did.

I don't tear up much at scenes which are properly emotional, but it does happen to be sometimes on scenes which are just really intense for whatever reason, like when Goku comes out the back of King Piccolo's stomach.

Sounds stupid but I feel like canceling my revival F bluray. I rather not support them if they pull this kind of stunt.. Or you could support them on things you think are actually worthy of support, but not on others. So, I'm not telling you what to buy, but if you find no fault with their RoF BD i...
