Didn't he use telepathy to read Fat Buu's mind when they were inside the evil Buu? That was in the dub where they said "Let's read his mind and find out...". In the Japanese version, it's just a flashback sequence. Nothing is said about reading his mind. It was more likely done for the vi...

Re: Dragonball? Perverted?

My perfect surmise for original DB if you wanna introduce it as a prequel series: 'Before he could fly, before he ventured into Space, before he knew of his alien origins: ... he was just a mountain boy training to be the best. Join Goku and the original DragonBall gang in the early adventures that...

The chapter where Piccolo pierces Goku's chest and nearly kills Goku, but then he uses buku-jutsu and headbutts Piccolo, defeating him. The intensity of that chapter as well as the excellent drawing makes that my fav. chapter of the manga. Is it me, or is the art around the Piccolo Daimao saga - Sai...

I agree. Go with FUNi's DVDs and Daimao's translations. They're pretty colorful at times with things like "You dirty bastard!" or "Burn in Hell!" Especially when it comes to Vegeta and Freeza.

Back on-topic, my favorite episode would have to be the same as Conan The SSJ, ep. 64 of GT. I don't consider it canon, but I loved the emotional impact this episode has on me. It was a much better ending that DB/DBZ, everything came full circle, the music, the animation, and the look back at the en...

I found the animation in the episode to be fun, what did you think was wrong with it? They used one of their weakest animation teams on that episode. Everyone's faces look sqiushed and the shading/detail are very minimal compared to other DBZ episodes. Not to mention some of the movements were very...

What I do, since there are so many DVDs (including DB) in my collection, I buy "thinpaks" or thin DVD cases. They're like 1/2 the thickness of normal keepcases, but can hold everything from the DVD to the insert. I primarily use them on my Dragon Ball/Z/GT DVDs since there's so damn many o...

My two cents on the new vids. Did Slug have Piccolo's voice in the dub? No. In the dub, Slug was played by Brice Armstrong (who did a damn decent job). And when I heard Sabat's Piccolo for Slug in the demo, I was a little upset. Why? Brice still works for FUNimation and Sabat's Piccolo voice doesn'...

My all-time favorite villain moment is from the Ocean dub (even though I prefer the FUNi dub) during the Goku/Vegeta battle. Vegeta after getting slammed into a cliff is PISSED OFF and Brian Drummond does this excellent read: "I don't need this stinking planet! I'll just use my Galick Gun and ...

Oh yes, and why is Chibi GT Goku so tan? He's not tan as an adult before he turns into a kid, at the end of GT, the Goku jr. special, in any of the endings... I don't get it.
