I should probably note that I have also yet to watch all of GT entirely. I watched the last 2 singles FUNi put out, and also have the complete series Green Brick. I'm just lazy. Maybe I'll watch it one day with a bunch of friends.

1. I haven't watched all of original Dragon Ball but have seen majority of the episodes through a friend and will be watching it beginning to end soon.
2. I've never read a single page of the manga and probably never will
3. All I own home video wise are 11 VHS' of Funi's dub of DBZ, 1 VHS of the Ocean dub of DBZ (which is the first volume), 2 VHS' of Funi's dub of GT and 1 Anime Labs fansub VHS of two Buu episodes from Z. I plan on changing this soon by buying BoG on Blu Ray, F when it comes out on Blu Ray, all of Dragon Ball Z Kai on Blu Ray and probably all the Dragon Ball blue bricks.
4. The only video games I own are the Budokai HD Collection and (soon) Xenoverse
5. I actually like The Return of Cooler and Fusion Reborn
6. I prefer the Funi cast and dubs over the Japanese cast and original Japanese show mainly because I like to watch things in my own language and because I actually like Funimation's cast and dubs of all the series (except for GT but I don't like it in English or Japanese) and will watch a dub over a sub if a dub for something exists (though I'll be watching Super both dubbed and subbed because I want to watch it now as it airs and then watch it again when Funi dubs it) but I like the Japanese cast even though I dislike some of the voices *cough* King Kai *cough*
7. I'm not particularly fond of the Ocean dub of Z but I love their uncut dubs of the first three movies.
8. I think the scriptwriters and writing were better in the Funi dub than the Ocean dub even if it isn't entirely accurate but it is still somewhat accurate.
9. Despite me liking the Funi dub of Z, I prefer their Kai dub over their Z dub because it's fully accurate now and the performances are way better than they were in original Z. I actually prefer Kai over Z dubbed and subbed because of no filler.
10. I love Chi Chi, Oolong, Master Roshi, Mr. Satan, Tienshinhan and Yamcha and would love to see them be more involved in the newer entries of the series like Super. I would add Bulma but she's already had a lot of appearances recently.

EDIT: Um, is it like against the rules to call Tien by his dub name? Because every time I type it, it changes it to the Japanese name.

It's a filter, not a rule. If you spell Freeza with an i, then it automatically filters it to have two e's in it.

It seems most of the confessions are that people haven't watched X yet, which isn't per se bad. I haven't read most of the manga outside of about 10 or so volumes is probably my biggest thing.

-Besides Battle of Gods and a few episodes of Super, I haven't seen any of the Japanese version of any of the series or other 14 movies beyond a few select scenes / clips.

-One of my main reasons for not getting Kai is I can't stand Gohans Kai voice. I think it was a big mistake cutting Stephanie Nadolny so suddenly and she would've made an even better Gohan with better direction.

-I own the manga and the entire series on DVD through the Blue/Orange/Green bricks. DBoxes are too expensive and I don't have a blu-Ray player. That being said I don't double dip n the series and don't plan to until FUNi releases DB and Z in 4:3 with Eng Music for Z.

-While FUNImation was in charge of the Ocean Dub, I find it to be really bad and even think the in-house Season 3 was better than the Canadian dub by far. Best decision on FUNis part was splitting from them and Saban

Stephanie Nadonly did have better direction. In the games, isn't Chris Sabat stil lthe voice director? Even in Burst Limit and Raging Blast 1, she was pretty terrible. Colleen Clinkenbeard is a huge improvement. I know, I get it. It's new, and it's change. But, it's good change. You should honestly give it a shot.

FUNimation didn't choose to leave Saban. Saban left FUNi. That's what lead FUNi to going in house. Saban was what let them have the money to go to Canada and record the show. Without that, they went in house.

-I've given Colleen a shot. I don't hate it, but I don't like it that much. I still prefer Nadolny, and I'm sure she would've been even better in Kai just like everyone else was.

-Well I didn't know the specifics for that, thanks for clearing it up

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

They did a dub of Dragon Ball with the Ocean cast in 1995, prior to ever joining forces with Saban. They could probably still afford them, they just wanted to save costs/earn more money by making a cheaper, equally profitable dub in Texas.

That dub was also with a different company. I forget who, but someone helped FUNi produce those as well.

Gt is just as good as DBZ and DB
Broly is a good character
I hadn't played aDBZ game until about 2012

-I no longer find collecting DB figures enjoyable (unless a super sexy ecchi figure comes out, male or female, then I'm game again)
-I never finished reading the manga. I've read most of it but just not the whole thing from beginning to end.
-I like Namekians but I just can't see them in sexual way. I tried, I really did, but I can't. Which is why I haven't drawn any lewds of them before.
-I enjoyed all of the Broly movies. In fact, before BoG and RoF I say they were the best ones!
-*points at the entire blog dedicated to drawing naughty things of fictional DB characters*
