The Awesome Possum's DB Review Blog Thread Thingy

Post by theawesomepossum777 » Thu Aug 01, 2013 5:02 pm

I've decided that I would like to make a sort of review thread blog thing, sort of like Biba-Sennin's Dragon Blog site. I'm sort of a lazy guy, so I won't start by reviewing with the first episode of DBZ or DB. This will be my first time watching the early parts of the series in Japanese. I will be watching Dragon Ball Z on Daisuki, and I'll be watching Dragon Ball on Hulu. I'll start reviewing with DBZ: Episode #008 for now.

Dragon Ball Z: Episode #008

Let me start with saying that this episode did a good job with mashing filler and canon. Kuririn visiting the Son household flowed well with Chi-Chi and Gyumao traveling to Kame House. The episode had decent art with meh animation. Episode #007 was awesome compared to this episode. It also gave me a good opportunity to snips some images. :P

Doesn't this remind you of a certain character in One Piece? :wink:

Image

Bulma just became the In-Universe Disccusion Board, if they had a scouter. :lol: Sorry if the quality isn't very good in this image.[/spoiler]

Image

Piccolo makes an odd observation of Gohan.

Image

You're a sly one, Mr. Piccolo.

Image

This would have been freaking awesome if it actually happened in the series.

Image

That's an awkward zoom in on Toei's part...

Image

Typical Gyumao.

Image

Chi-Chi is either psychic, or she's trying to use Instantaneous Movement early on in the series.

Continuing where I left off.....

Dragon Ball Z: Episode #009

This is a very infamous episode in the Saiyan Arc filler. It is usually cited as one of the best filler episodes in the series. Back then in the first run of the first english dub for DBZ, Funimation scraped most of this episode because you can cut it without any blatant inconsistencies. However, they still kept Fake Namek, which is 10x worse. Great job Funi. :roll: Anyway, this episode was really emotional,and I find it interesting that Toei gave the robot such a deep voice. I feel that Toei is inconsistent on what characters get a deep voice or not. It's like they flip a coin a lot of the time. Getting back on track, here are some screencaps I did with their own corny captions made by me. :P

I swear he pees every time we see him. The contradiction being that he is malnourished.

Image
Where is Mr. Prince when you need him...

Image
It's like the Sarlaac Pit, but without the Sarlaac.

Image
"But I'm already dead, so I don't need food! Yohohohoho!"

Image
What picture books are you reading, Gohan? This is like the Gohan version of, "I got it from the Internet."

Image
You didn't have to do that for Gohan, Mr. Robot... :(

Image
Mister.... :cry:

Image
Don't cry, Son Gohan. Be determined. Walk with conviction while an awesome BGM plays...

There's really no need to put those images in a spoiler tab.

If I put all of the images all at once without spoiler tabs, it wouldn't be fair for people who have bad Internet.

I'm fairly sure they load regardless. They're just hidden when inside the tags.

I didn't know that. I'm going to change it now that I know it was useless.

EDIT: Fixed!
