What is a Kanzenshuu?

I was wondering... What is a Kanzenshuu and why did you pick this name?

When a Kanzentai and a Daizenshuu EX fall in love, you end up with a hybrid love child; nothing more, nothing less.

Actually, Kanzenshuu is Japanese for "please steal our images, stick your own watermark on them, and don't give us any credit".

As much as I love all the silly responses, and please keep them coming, I suppose you at least deserve some sort of legitimate answer.

We spell out most everything about the site's name in our About Us page, so I'd give that a read. But basically, it's a name created in true Dragon Ball fashion -- it's a fusion of the previous two site's names.
Kan·zen·tai + Dai·zen·shuu EX = Kan·zen·shuu

A "Kanzenshuu" isn't a guide book (which is how some on the internet occasionally refer to us), or really anything else like that. It's an American fansite for the all-encompassing Japanese Dragon Ball franchise. The phrase "Kanzenshuu" (完全集) does actually mean "perfect collection" in Japanese, but it isn't really a phrase that's at all associated with Dragon Ball.

Other than that, what everyone else has said. :P

Don't be stupid. Last I checked -- which was just now -- it's an old Japanese saying that means something like, "pop out babies, somehow get more work done, thank you craft beer".

I don't know how they got all that down into three kanji, but they did.

Haha, subtle Herms. :lol: Don't forget that some people also translate it into French, Spanish, etc. :P

Pretty sure a lot of them lurk on this forum because I've seen lots of images I've linked on this website pop up there. Hopefully they'll get the message. :wink:

For the record, I would like it pointed out that I linked to the About page in the very first reply. Said page does detail the site's origins. thus making it a legit answer. :lol:
