It sure is hard to enjoy something when you basically look for flaws in it to bitch about.
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

Don't really look for them. I didn't notice them till someone pointed them out, so now whenever I look at their face, I see like semi disappeared noses and whatnot. And you cannot ignore Season 3's shaking scene where Super Saiyan Goku's lines all disappeared and kept doing it. I noticed that without looking for any flaws. I find them now without looking.

There's a scene where the place shakes (Trunks vs Freeza) and Yamcha, Tenshinhan, and the others have disappearing lines. Then there's a scene where, I think it's Gohan running to Goku when Goku lands back on Earth, or Gohan talking to Goku, and Gohan's facial features are really light. Looks like his eyeballs are tiny, his nose is disappearing along with his mouth. Then when ChiChi is complaining about not having a car, Piccolo doesn't have a nose. They didn't address or change anything. Don't you realize that all of the series was already redone? In the first Season, they said that they already redid the entire series in the same format. I doubt they'd go back and redo it, especially since nobody seems to complain to them over it.
Yeah I was talking about the lines disappearing. I've only watched most of the Garlic Jr. filler and have been looking through to hear any significant voice changes in the dub. I haven't even looked past that part.

I already know they aren't gonna redo it either. I never planned on actually buying these sets anyway. I've been against them from the first time they said they'd be in widescreen. So that's life.
Be grateful the filler in Dragon Ball doesn't suck like the 3rd arc of Rurouni Kenshin.

I know it was a page back, but regarding the Funimation Green symbol, the first thing I thought of was a song:

"R-E-C-Y-C-L-E, Recycle!
C-O-N-S-E-R-V-E, Conserve!
Don't you P-O-L-L-U-T-E,
Pollute the rivers, skies, or sea,
Or else you're gonna get
What you deserve!"

I'm hoping some other 80s kids here (who would have been 5-9 at the time) get the reference.

I totally remember dude, Public service announcements rock!

Drugs drugs drugs
which are good, which are bad

Sweet thanks for the flashback!

Here is something I noticed, while watching the episode "Upgrade to Super Saiyan".

When Vegeta is transforming in the original english dub, there is this "wown" noise when his hair changes color. But in the Original Japanese, and Redub, that sound is not there.
Here is the original english clip for reference.

Also, I am becoming fond of the english dub with japanese music. I don't think the voices sound anymore "wrong" then with the english music. But I have to admit, there are some occasions where I prefer the dub, one being Vegeta's transformation. I just think the music was more epic, and Chris Sabat really belted out a good scream.

EDIT: Also Number 19's voice definitely sounds different.
Yeah, I was trying to mention the missing sound effects, in an earlier post, on this thread. But had a hard time for words.

As sweet as it is to have the original music, there's one bit in Season 6 that'll be weird: the death of Cell always, to me, seemed to work better with Faulconer's GINYU TRANSFORMATION then the original score. Probably the only part in the whole series.

I actually watched the english dub some for a change, but just through Garlic Jr. because it's filler and I'm not going to be taking it seriously anyway. I didn't think Maron's voice was too bad compared to some of the other things I HATE about the english version. Although, I must admit I remember absolutely nothing about her old voice. I guess she did overact a bit.

I say fuck popular causes that large companies use as persuasive advertising.

Besides, I'm pretty sure that 90% of Earth's landfill consists of old FUNimation VHS tapes.

I don't know I watched that episode yesterday actually and the original music when Cell died fit the overall mood of the entire episode when it happened. Maybe if you're picking apart scenes then it might be that way but when comparing episodes, I don't think so.

Though I don't mind the dub music for that scene.

Scenes I prefer in the dub over the Japanese version are Vegeta's Final Flash on Cell, and definitely 100% Gohan turning "Mystic" or whatever you want to call it. In the dub, with that deep voice, and this epic sounding music, while the Japanese was that ear drub-popping squeaky bellow with music that seriously resembled a circus theme.

So, you prefer they just dump pollutants in the ocean?

Really, if allowing a company to claim itself 'green' changes its behavior to the point where it helps out the environment, how does that leave anyone worse-off?

How does de-railing a thread over something pointless make anyone better-off?

Russ896 was kidding, by the way. Is sarcasm that hard to pick up on?

Huh? But what would be the point of that :? Personally I always sort of liked the circus theme.

Went to Wal-Mart,didn't see Season 4 there. But i did see the Bardock/Trunks feature there.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.
