Dragonball Discussion

[FUNimationRules]

I just love this series. I just wish Lion Gate would let go of the first Dragonball Movie and the Empereor Pilaf Saga so FUNimation can do the remastering crap to Dragonball.

[Hinscher]

ha kind of funny you just bring up Dragonball stuff, yet name this Dragonball Z discussion

But my favorite stuff in all of DB/DBZ/GT is the tournament sagas in Dragonball, also the Goku vs. cell fight was damn awesome too.

Well, it was a long wait for Funimation to get to do the first part of the series themselves, but it eventually happened.

by the time they release all the DBZ box sets, then the GT box sets, they might finally have the early DB stuff.

Yes, odd to include the "Z". Also, I believe this is like the... 5th thread related to the series. XD

Eitherway, it's what started it all for me.

Actually Dragonball, Dragonball Z and GT are basically the samething. Also, I wonder what the covers of Dragonball GT is going to look like.

[Sandai Mera]

Though with different characters,battles,abilities,locations etc

Uuuh... okay? Might I ask what sparked this unrelated post?

I wouldn't declare them the same thing. GT was fan made... Z the author didn't intend it to go longer than the frieza saga and Dragonball was when hte author actually enjoyed making the series.

[Sandai Mera]

GT was made by Toei.

[Ivotas]

Wow, what a revelation! Never would have guessed that Vegeta is Trunks' father. Great chapter!!!

Sorry, couldn't resist.^^

Dragonball was when hte author actually enjoyed making the series.

Ignoring the fact that "Dragonball Z" was just a name made up for the anime, and that the manga was just called "Dragonball" from start to end, I'm fairly sure Toriyama said that he still hadn't gotten tired of the series when volume 30 (Cell-saga) came out. Though it's clear that he DID get tired at some point, as he also mentioned how making the new covers for the Kanzenban, while they did make him feel a bit nostalgic, also made him remember that he did not want to make anything more of the series, and who can blame him? True, One Piece has lasted almost as long as DB now, but not everyone is that patient.

Anyway, Dragonball used to be my favourite show. Then I saw One Piece, and it was pushed down to second place. Then I realised that I also liked Haruhi more, so it's currently my third favourite show.
But I sure wish FUNi would stop f***ing up every single release and just give us a proper release (Dragonbox-footage, please? Spain got it, so why can't America get it as well?) instead of cropping it, messing up the picture and saying "BEST RELEASE EVER LOL!!!!!!!!!11" when it's actually a complete disaster and the single worst release of any anime ever. Or at least it's pretty damn close.

Because that's the way anime works around these parts we Americans are always getting screwed when it comes to anime one way or the other though probably not as bad as the Germans.

I've got five words for you: The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. The american release of that show completely exceeds the japanese one in every single way. Other shows, like Azumanga Daioh, Naruto, Bleach and now One Piece, also get quite excellent releases, and any flaws those releases have is almost guaranteed to be the dubbers' fault. (Bleach's hardsubbed video, One Piece's edited logo and title-screens etc.)
I'm fairly sure FUNi COULD get the Dragonbox-footage, they just won't bother because their current crap-releases are already selling like crazy.

Not from what I've some people say in the recent MOSH thread.

[Sarutobi700]

I love dragonball. Goku is my favorite character of all time and Luffy is bringing back those memories

Well, that didn't stop fans from complaining about them either. Wasn't there some sort of kerfuffle over what order the episodes should've been released?

[Buuhan1]

I don't follow, but they made such a racket I also heard that. I think the company was releasing them in chronological order while the fans bitched and moaned that they wanted it in un-chronological order like the TV broadcast. (Which was fuck confusing...)

And then Bandai started including them in the broadcast-order in the limited edition from volume 2 and out. Not even the japanese release got the broadcast-order, that's why I said that the american release is superior. Whatever,this is off-topic anyway. Do me a favor and don't reply to this post.

YOU CAN SEE THEIR PARACHUTES!

Sorry, sorry. But this topic had it coming.

On-topic... I liked Dragonball. Twas cool. However like a lot of other good series the fanboys ruin it.

You mean like the people who think the japanese version is an abomination that should never have existed, or that Dragonball AF is an official series with an anime-adaption, (It does exist, but it's just a fan-manga) or that *Insert other retarded rumors here*, and have about the same level of maturity as Goku did in episode 1? Yeah, those guys are annoying. But honestly, which series DOESN'T have any obsessive fanboys who hate everything else?
