Why wouldn't Goku include Kaio-ken? It's a part of his abilities just like any other technique. Just like how Vegeta took it as a great victory that he felt he surpassed Goku when he was Super Saiyan, I don't think the characters dissect their own abilities the way the fans do. As far as Goku's...

I kind of feel like he was meticulous on Namek because he knew that he was overpowered, but also felt confident that he would do certain things to overcome in the end. It looks like in the heat of battle, he becomes sloppy and goes ballistic if he's getting beaten when he doesn't think he should...

I found it on a Sunday morning back in the 90s when it was in syndication.

People watched it when it was censored in Nick Toons. Are you asking us specifically? I think that ship has sailed on fans who are more than just casuals. Between home video releases, Toonami,, Hulu, and other methods.

The singles are really the only way to get that real nostalgic feeling. The bad Drummond imitation Vegeta and all. I wish that the "Captain Ginyu Saga" DVDs were organized better because they're just like the Saiyan Conflict and Namek Saga DVDs (opening and closing are kind of separate). But, I...

I've been a massive collector, so I have pretty much them all. For Dragon Ball, I have: - Trimark release - the singles - blue bricks - Dragon Box. I wanted the Selecta Vision or AB Groupe Blu-rays, but haven't gotten either yet. For Z, I have: - Pioneer release of the Saiyan Conflict and...

At some point, Funimation started directly promoting their releases on Right Stuf. I guess that's where the majority of their sales came from and they didn't see a reason to keep the Z Store running. I'm sure they saved some money by closing it down.

That's fair. Though, that's what I'm into. I think that my love for the series extends beyond its four corners. I do like a good music discussion. I can get that some people feel that the Kanzenshuu crew gives off a bit of a "holier than thou" vibe. And while I think we've all been guilty of...

I agree with the capsules. The time machine is just asking for trouble.

No. He isn't hindered by Funimation's bad writing in the manga... or anywhere else.

I think that the Ocean cast was always better. Legend has it that the Westwood dub (from the "Trunks Saga" and onward) had terrible directing and production. It was all very rushed, recorded out of order (so the actors didn't really know qhat they were reacting to), etc. I always felt that the...

Legacy of Goku 2 and Buu's Fury had a soundtrack based on the Faulconer score, but the PS2/3 games had original tracks by Kenji Yamamoto until the whole plagiarism thing happened. I'm actually curious what the soundtrack was like for those two GBA games outside the US.

Okay, I went through the 8 CDs that were released with the Bruce Faulconer score (not counting the android theme remix CD that had 2 tracks or whatever). Here's the full list of the ones I like: So, basically, I like 26 tracks out of 282. I like less than 10% of the music... And this is not...

I think that Dragon Ball Z's move from syndication onto Cartoon Network (via the Toonami block) created a lot of casual fans. Keep in mind that up to that point, most fans in the US (and likely other English-speaking countries, but I wouldn't know) only knew what they saw on TV. The internet was...

lol No. Cars... Or on a crappy little digital screen, but it was there, by golly!

How far back are we going with this "track 1, track 2" thing? Tracks have been displaying names on CD players for like 2 decades already. Actually, iPods were a thing since 2001... I'll provide a comprehensive list of my favorite tracks at some point. I think a lot of the music was okay...

I mean, they were better. Her portrayal of Gohan was even better in the first Budokai game. Nothing crazy wrong about the performance. But every yelling or crying scene is torture on the ears.

I thought her Gohan was horrible. Her kid Goku was better--she had more experience by the time she did Dragon Ball and GT. I'm pretty neutral on her altogether. I think Colleen Clickenbeard did a good job for Gohan. I will always think that Saffron Henderson did it perfectly.

Of course it adds something. Originally, only Freeza and a select few of his men were ridiculously powerful (well, compared to where the series would go very quickly). I'm sure the armor came in very useful to the Saiyana as they were when they would invade other planets. I'm sure the armor did...

It's there. According to Google Translate (surprisingly a lot better than the gibberish it used to spew out when you translate from Japanese), Yajirobe says: I'm thankful for at least knowing how to read Hiragana and Katakana (even though I find myself confusing つ and っ ALL the time). Wish I...
