Definitely have to disagree with you here Conan. :wink: As I said, way too many inconsistencies and plotholes with the first 2 series. If Toei wanted it to be canon, they should have definitely put more effort into not screwing up details and previous history so badly. And of course you can argue t...

There's sort of a slight problem. Cold never stated he could transform. Excluding Coola since he's not canon, Freeza is the only one we know can transform. This was to lessen the amount of power he'd go crazy with. For all we know, Cold's appearance could merely be his only form. I'm going to have ...

*snip* And no, I am 100% NOT excited about the prospect of this film “introducing so many new fans into the fold”. Because this is the age of the message board, and the post Star Wars prequel generation. At the risk of coming off as an asshole (if I haven't already), I dare anyone here to tell me w...

Ugh..that fourth season box art looks terrible; almost as bad as the first. What bugs me more than the art is just the layout of these things, the fact that companies approve this kind of design makes a graphic design student like myself, rather sick. I only own the first season set, but I hate the...

Gamestop can't add anyone to the game. The poll, and the fights, have nothing to do with the game, as I said previously. Yes they do! Well, maybe not. But they probably have more to do with the game than Donny Clay the "Producer" ever did :P I was a little late on the uptake and just now ...

(Bilingual dvd's here in Australia kick in when Trunks arrives, and even then I think it's intermittently) When Trunks arrives? Are you sure? I'm pretty sure Madman didn't start bilingual DVDs until the Goten vs. Trunks fight at the 25th Budokai. http://www.madman.com.au/actions/catalogue.do?releas...

Whatever FUNi's doing with this, they're getting better at it. For Funimation, those colours are great. If only they could have given us that on the previous boxes. These aren't no Dragonboxes, but to me, those captures look quite good (cropping aside), the backgrounds are still getting that pastel...

Man, we're still waiting for Season 2 here in Aus (Oct 10th last check)

Anyway the layout of the cover is still as ugly as hell, at least there's some nice artwork of Freeza.

Maybe I'm missing something, but... is that what the Dragon-boxes are? The Dragonboxes have grain, just substantially less. I don't see what the problem is, people keep wanting a show that started it's run in 1989 to look like it was animated using the latest digital photography techniques. Besides...

Re: Goku's slang/accent?

It's just that I never imagined Goku speaking like that. I'm guessing you're a dubbie?, in the original Japanese version Goku is a country bumpkin, I know very little Japanese but my understanding is that its emphasized a lot through the honorifics he uses, not to mention the fact that he speaks ve...

I actually played Sparking Neo with the music off, and played the Japanese BGM on my iPod. Good times :D I think I had the music turned on in Sparking Neo for a grand total of about an hour until I could no longer stand it. See, I'll probably have to resort to the same thing, the frustrating thing ...

I am totally bummed about the lack of Japanese music for the European release.

...But then again, you also have the nutjobs that claim anything in English sucks and pronounces even names in English in a Japanese pronounciation (like calling Trunks, Cell or Freeza as Torankusu, Seru, or Furiiza).

I'm not going to tell people their opinions are wrong if they just plain prefer DB's dub to Z's or GT's, but I do think there's this huge misconception about the entire dub having faithfully adapted scripts. I agree completely, thus far I've only watched the "Saga of Goku" or the first 13...

I'm a fan of the Japanese version, I did start with the dub like everyone else, but it didn't take long for me to jump ship (The voices, the music, the delivery just left the dub in the dust, not to mention the extra depth) Recently I have gotten my hands on Madman's Dragonball boxsets (the first ha...

I thought the Baby saga despite being drawn out, had its moments (Ssj4 Goku throwing Golden Oozaru Baby)

I thought the Super 17 saga was so-so, but definitely better than the bulk of the Shadow Dragon saga, however Goku fighting Si Xing Long and Yi Xing Long were probably the better moments of GT.
