I doubt they will, but I would really like it if they posted thier individual top 24's for all of us to see and compare. I think that would be really interesting and fun to read.

Oh jeeze, I don't think we have the lists anymore. It was a physical one; I only have the amalgamated list left. D=

Kind of a bummer. Honestly, apart from the list itself it's kind of fun to hear each of your different opinions on the media. Like just from this last video, I wouldn't doubt that Path to Power would've been closer to the top 5 had it not been for you Kaiser. I mean, it's just a friendly request, but I would really like if you would make those individual lists.

Also, I know it's just personal opinion but Rof> Yo! and Mystical Adventure?!?!?!? Come on fam....

Yeesh, I know it's played partially for humor, and it's GT, but I didn't realize you disliked Dan Dan so much, Kaiser. :lol: I do kind of agree though that using Romantic Ageru Yo (or at least a new version of it or something) would have been more fitting, but eh...Toei.

Honestly, I kind of think Path to Power is my favorite of the 'Dragon Ball' movies as well. It's a hard choice between it and Mystical Adventure at any rate.

Oh yeah, and I dunno if it's just because the videos are shorter, or if you guys have done some tinkering with the site since last time I'd tried, or if the stars are just aligning right, or what, but I'm actually having no trouble loading videos on the site now. Maybe I won't have to rely on Youtube uploads now after all. Here's hoping at any rate.

I saw Path of Power ages ago. I saw it subbed like 13 years ago on VHS and it was a fun movie. I wish it was a trilogy since I would have like to see how they would have retold the 21st Tenkachi Budokai and future stories. I agree it that was probably one of the best looking animated films in the 90's.

Small nitpick, Lanipator said in Number 13, that Ryusei Nakao voiced every incarnation of Freeza icy race, King Cold was voiced by Daisuke Gori in Z, and Ryūzaburō Ōtomo in Kai :) Nice to see Path of Power so high on list, but, i personally would put it even higher, i love that movie :)

Aaactually, he said every member of his race that he has voiced. Not that he's voiced every member.

I can't believe Wrath Of The Dragon didn't make it into the top 5. That's the finest DBZ movie until Battle Of Gods. Oh well, opinions.

I know Kaiser loves Movie 2, but how in the world has it gotten this far?

I think ALL of 'em love it, though I can't see it staying off the list much longer.

I honestly see The World's Strongest coming out on top. TFS freakin love that movie, and I believe most of them have stated it to be their outright favourite DBZ movie.

I do get the sense that they enjoy the film, hence why i have it at Number 3 among my predictions

I'd like to know more about your reasons for disliking the ending. I have my reason, but I wonder why you guys dislike the ending of Wrath of the Dragon. I ain't really sure spoilers are a problem when the film has been out for so long, and I think anyone and their mother knows Goku wins in the end since it's usually the climax to the DBZ movies.

I agree Hildegarn is shallow and Hoi probably shoulda stuck around til the end. Definitely agree on the pacing. That's probably my biggest problem with the movie that doesn't include a more in-universe issue I got.

Well, for me, it was Trunks movie, and still Goku had to win, plus, he did that, by using "Toei Punch" Not to mention that sword, that suddenly got tied in with Future Trunks in credits

The "Goku wins" ending is at least slightly more bearable if you think that Goku was only able to win because Trunks cut off Hildy's tail, which caused him to start puking blood all over the place.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke

Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

My interpretation, albeit one based on the dub, was that Goku managed to beat him by figuring out his weakness, and that Gohan or Vegeta could have done so if they new the weakness. As for Dragon Fist..well, he had a new move and wanted to try it out.

And, let's be honest: The Dragon Fist is freakin cool.
