Based off that trailer, I was excited for something akin to what was done with Watchmen: The Complete Motion Comic. Instead, the chapters are poorly composed, poorly timed slide shows accompanied by stock music. This could have been a unique new take on the series, but it just turns out to be like most everything else that's come out in the last decade or so in the realm of Dragon Ball... Cheap or incomplete (or both).
As far as I'm concerned, I'd say those videos save the day, they were just what I needed!
I think so too, because it's green when he arrives with the rest of the team.Makaioshin wrote:Ginyu Goku had a yellowish orange scouter.

Then just don't buy them, since they don't seem to deserve their pric- oh, wait a minute. They are for free.Kuwabara wrote:I really don't know why I keep falling into this trap.Cold Skin wrote:With a one-week delay for four chapters (one for each part), you can't expect the same quality than on the general trailer.Kuwabara wrote:Those 'motion comics' are complete garbage!

Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.
Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.
About the original blue hair of Bulma you're right, but that list of V-jump isn't coloured by Toriyama, is something like a poor and bad done colouring with ridiculous colours as the first colours for Vegeta on the animeJeffJarrett wrote:---
Well, if the one who drew the picture showing the structure of Kame House is Toriyama, then it's sure he didn't envision it as blue constantly anyway, and Kame House becomes one of those numerous elements for which you could not define a "real", definitive "Toriyama version" in the first place, along with Gohan's baby outfit and High School Gohan's training clothes.Tyro wrote:Do we scrap the idea that the Kame house is blue like in the Kanzenban in place of its new, white counterpart?
The original comic is not incomplete.Cold Skin wrote:- The new full-color manga version tries to magnify at best the author's vision by completing what they could not afford to do at the time (all pages in full colors), while taking some liberties when they think it's best precisely because now color pages are not just random surprises, but form a complete story.

The full color manga Goku Arc starts with Goku's gi colored blue and Bulma's hair blue/green and then it suddenly changes to Goku's gi colored orange and Bulma's hair purple when they help Turtle and meet Roshi on the beach. The anime is way more consitant than any other media concerning the colors.DBZGTKOSDH wrote:I don't know about you guys, but the colors from this re-re-re-re-release of the manga will be the canon ones for me.
I know. That's why I started by saying I was talking about colors only.AgitoZ wrote:The original comic is not incomplete.Cold Skin wrote:- The new full-color manga version tries to magnify at best the author's vision by completing what they could not afford to do at the time (all pages in full colors), while taking some liberties when they think it's best precisely because now color pages are not just random surprises, but form a complete story.

It's an addition if anything. This might be a language thing, but calling it "color-complete" just rubs me the wrong way. Toriyama worked with the limitations he was given. The original did not have it nor did it need it.Cold Skin wrote:I know. That's why I started by saying I was talking about colors only.
Color-wise, the original is not completely colored, the new version is color-complete, encompassing the complete story this time.
I know what you mean, and I understand your point of view, in the end it's really all a matter of point of view.AgitoZ wrote:It's an addition if anything.

I'd liken it to something like the Special Editions to Star Wars but I'm sure that's over exaggerating.
Thanks for the response. That makes a lot of sense and it doesn't leave the in-universe universe in any worse shape than it was before, which is to say, the fans pick and choose the continuity. I've always kept my definition of canon pretty strict: kanzenban manga, non-contradicting information provided in the guidebooks, non-contradicting information in the interviews with Toriyama, you get the drift. So you can imagine the build-up and disappointment when I thought we were getting the DragonBox of the manga, only to find that they're picking and choosing some of the colors. So while I can't say that the colors are officially in my canon universe, the new coloring is beautiful and I intend to support this product.Cold Skin wrote:snip
