Anime | Manga Dragon Ball

[DAMN 80]

This looks awful

 

The level blu-ray sets were way better and yet they were canceled becuz of production costs

Not that I could buy any of them...but I would like a series like Dragonball get proper treatment

But DBZ is basically just FUNImation's Cashcow...they've released the series dozens of times with some problems in them cuz they see the opportunity of milking the franchise for all it's worth

I mean I remember seeing this thread in Kanzenshuu forums about the Blu-ray's coming...as soon as I saw 16:9...I knew it would be pretty much Orange Bricks all over again

Here's a comparison video...the Season Sets look awfully saturated:

I felt Z got redundant after frieza. It should have ended there. Most of the movies were better than the show anyway.

This

But I thought most of the movies were worse than the show

Movies 1-4 and some of them like Return of Cooler and stuff were cool but...some others like the Janemba and Hidruregarn Movie sucked

Gogeta is more powerful than Vegito...

 

DBZ KAI IN 2014!

It's canon that a Potara fusion is stronger than a regular fusion, brother. #CheckYourFacts

In this interview with Akira Toriyama, he has revealed the origins and name of Goku's mother, Gine, and confirmed he will release an image of her in a bonus comic on April 4th, coinciding with the full release of his series Jaco The Galactic Patrolman!  

Also, we're given a somewhat hint at Vegeta becoming Super Saiyan God in a potential sequel to Battle Of Gods! :D

 

OH YES

 

AWESOME

I read that. THAT WAS AWESOME!

 

They're already talking of a new DBZ movie, IT HAS TO BE THE SEQUEL TO BATTLE OF GODS! And Vegeta's gonna have a more major role! Thats cool, though i wished he'd give Gohan more spotlight, but i guess beating Cell was it for him. : Either way, i really hope the next movie is canon and is a sequel to BOG.

BREAKING NEEEEWSSS! :D

DRAGONBALL KAI! THE MAJIN BUU SAGA! APRIL 6TH! ITS GOING DOOOOOOOWN!!! *dies from fangasm*

 

.......... *gets wished back to life with Dragon Balls* I LIVE! Whew, that was scary. Anyways, where was I? Oh yeah. HOLY SHET!  

 

That's right folks, DragonBall (Z) Kai if FINALLY back, and its going to finish the original DragonBall Z story with the Buu Saga, starting April 6th at 9:00 AM on Fuji TV, with the show taking Toriko's timeslot as well. lol (I'm sorry Toriko, I love ya, but MAKE ROOM FOR THE KING, MOTHERF**KER! )

 

I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FLIPPIN' HAPPY RIGHT NOW! Everybody knows that I love love love love love LOVE the very existence of DragonBall Kai, so to see that its finally going to be finished, I... *takes breath* Whoo boy, better stop before I die again. lol

 

Anyways, another development here is that along with the usual updates that Kai entails (remastering, cut filler, etc) there is going to be a re-recorded soundtrack. If you remember way back when, the composer for Kai's first soundtrack got sued for copyright infringement, so Kai had to use the old score from the original DragonBall Z. I'm wondering to who exactly is doing the score, and if he'll be up to snuff. I'd also think that it would be cool for Kai to be re-released again so that the new guy can re-record the OST for the Saiyan Saga, Frieza Saga, AND Cell Saga as well. I know that means more re-releasing but... ah F**K IT! I want consistent music! Don't judge me! DX

[Reyn 1,755]

^ YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES! But since Nicktoons took it off the air, WHERE ARE WE GONNA WATCH THE BUU SAGA OF KAI IN DUBS IN THE U.S.? On Vortex? That'll take ages to get to the end. -_- Hopefully Toonami takes it up, but they'll take a long ass time to get to the end too.

 

At least the subs will be shown, im looking forward to it. Only 2 months to go.

 

Now if only Battle of Gods was dubbed and released here, it would be perfect.

[Firaga 5,947]

So I've been listening to alot of rock music lately, and in some of the songs I've heard, I've noticed that some of the lyrics/themes remind me of DragonBall. Here are three in paticular:

 

1) Disturbed - Warrior

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_ZMmEFA4Q0

 

This song embodies the very core and creed of the Saiyan race: domination. It's pretty self-explanatory, both in title, lyrics, and composition of the entire song. This can apply to any Saiyan in the series that really goes HAM, especially Broly, Vegeta, and Goku, when he gets super pissed.

 

2) Breaking Benjamin - Until The End

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K05hpK8mLoI

 

The song in question refers to going through hardships in ones life until you eventually get past them all. This is Vegeta's character in a nutshell. It really explores the dramatic substance that Vegeta has to his character and his ever on-going struggle to prove himself that he is stronger than Goku that pretty much begins at the very start of the series all the way up to the end, where he finally decides to swallow his pride and admit Goku is his better. Still, Vegeta's journey was still long and arduous, and you have to respect his merit for that.

 

3) Firefly - Unbreakable

 

 

Also very self-explanatory: going through obstacles and believing that you are unbreakable and nothing can get in your way. A common theme in the DragonBall Z story. Just listening to this song while picturing the entire story from Saiyan Saga to Majin Buu Saga is a testament to how powerful the message is.

Funimation's Dragon Ball Z Kai will be released on Blu-ray and DVD later this year. If you want the crappy Nick or 4Kids versions, probably 2015.

Sora, I already said in that other thread: 1) Nicktoon's edits aren't bad and 2) 4Kids does NOT own Vortexx. It's Saban.

They're still edits. Editing perfection is a no. I saw it once and it was horrible. Weren't 4Kids the one who coloured Mr. Popo blue? Well either well it's shit.

Pefection? Dude, come on, don't be a fanboy. It's being marketed to kids. SOME THINGS need to be edited for that to happen. WE WATCHED the original DragonBall Z EDITED when it first aired in America. Obviously, that didn't stop us from not becoming fans of the series. However, you are right on the fact that yes, 4Kids/Toonzai made Popo blue and their edited version of Kai carried over to Vortexx. Like I stated previously, however, Nicktoons does not make edits like that. They still show blood, they still show guns, and they still show a little gore, it's just toned down for the more younger audience that watchs Nicktoons TV. #Logic

Cartoon Network Australia always delivers it uncut, the way it's meant to be watched.

Whatever. You're one person. The rest of us had to sit through edits. So quit complaining about something you don't even know about.

Ok man, but so what? Its just your opinion. Just cause you don't like it doesnt mean we don't mind it.

I'm not complaining.

[OmegaForte 1,674]

If people though Nicktoons minor editing was bad, you sure have seen nothing. Like I said before, Xros Wars is so firetrucking horrible in edits they are doing worse than 4Kids and beyond.

Okay. So, now that I'm finally starting to read the Dragon Ball Z manga, I've decided I might as well join in the discussion... Although I have no clue how to join in. ._. Soo... Yeah. I've read through volume 3 so far, and I'm about to start the Goku vs Vegeta battle. The actual series is definitely way better than the Abridged one. Of course, this one actually has more action, which is what I like in anime/manga, so... Makes sense.

 

Also, just because I can say this, Vegeta's my favorite character.

Cool Axel. You're gonna love it when you get to the frieza saga.

That should be tomorrow, I can't wait.

So like, am I the only one that thinks that Broly was one of the strongest, and he got killed by pure luck?

Or isn't he included here because he's only on movies?

Don't pay attention to the poll, it's pretty much non-existent at this point. lol

Got twenty seconds in before deciding it wasn't worth potential spoilers. I'm just not even going to question all the other stuff I saw... Still excited, though.
