I'm the guy that loves grandma goku and trumpet soundtracks and haven't watched the dub in 15 years. That being said I'm about to go see F in English in a real movie theater and I'm super excited. Can't we all just come together and enjoy dragonball regardless of what the dumb punchmans sound like when they talk?

I saw Resurrection F yesterday surrounded by a 12 dude bro frat guys and a one middle aged father who brought his young daughter. Best way to see Goku IMO

Choice moments were two of the bros talking about Super Cyan "Oh poo poo it's BLUE?" "THAT'S CAUSE IT'S LEGIT!" and the fact that the girl only cheered or clapped after Goku got beat up and Vegeta got to step in.

Saw it in the same theater I saw Battle of Gods. Whereas that was almost entirely Latino kids (wearing so many mall kiosk DBZ shirts, I didn't even know they still made those) and I was able to buy tickets on the way in, the Resurrection [F] showing(s) were sold out and had maybe 2-3 families that actually brought kids. Mostly older dudes, which made for a very different (but equally hilarious) experience.

A guy yelled "he a pussy bitch, tho" when Goku went down, followed by "YO gently caress HIM UP" when Vegeta came in, followed by cheering. :allears:

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

I don't know who this Ronda is, but I feel any discussion about societal things would end with Vegeta claiming it's all stupid and he should be in charge or some similar variation.

In general, I prefer to consume media in the language in which it was produced...but DBZ is just so tied to my childhood, to a time before I really realized that the show wasn't originally in English.

Exactly the same with me. I just love that Goku (In English).

If Vegeta trained with Ronda for a year I don't think they'd let her compete in the UFC for much longer.

At the very least she'd have to be moved up to the top weight class.

Well I found a thing that might explain some thing. Jesus Christ, if even a single panel of this is as true as it's presented the industry is hosed.

Couple pages back but Thomas Romain is employed at Satelight and that stuff is 100% true.

KyoAni is actually entirely* inhouse too, though.

With regards to Toei as far as I'm aware their inhouse animators are salaried but that's really rare in the industry, and they don't have enough of them to make 7 shows at once fully inhouse. The common response to that is "well, why do they make so many shows at once then", and the answer is because they're a business and it makes money. They're afaik the largest 2D animation studio in Japan by employee count and because they make kids/mainstream shows they operate at a completely different scale than the majority of other studios.

Someone posted earlier in this thread wondering if they could just make a cel-shaded CG style Dragonball like some of the games are, but their CG team is nowhere near big enough to pull that off. Precure's endings are full CG and the director for the latest one tweeted that they'd need 3 months per episode to produce a full CG series, presumably using their full team. 2D anime episodes still take 1-3 months each but different people work on different episodes so they're in production simultaneously.

They have played Vegeta so perfect, and I don't know if it is on purpose or not. They have blue-balled us with Vegeta for so loving long whenever he actually gets to kick rear end for 10 seconds it's the hypest thing ever.

Honestly goku's voice isn't all that deep in English either so granny goku doesn't bother me much especially after like 20 years of 5 packs a day smoking seems to have dropped her goku voice an octave or two. Her voice seemed way higher pitched in some of the older subbed movies a friend of mine had.

Yeah, the entire sequence is pretty great, also because it gives the entire arc some much needed structure. Also, Tao vs Blue might be the first not comedic death of the series.

I was going through old toy boxes and found some DBZ stuff. My plan was to put this up on SA Mart and eventually ebay, but thought this might be a better place to see if any of it appeals to any of you:

11 action figures. The smaller ones on the far right are rubber bendy ones. Trunks is the only one with some playable articulation (and a sword). All of them have clamshell shirts you can remove for some goofy reason.


Some random trading cards that came with them. Some are gold and shiny? The two upper left horizontal ones are stickers that haven't been stuck yet.


Miniature guys. These are about the size of a nickel. I'll admit I can't identify all of them.


If any of these interest you, shoot me a PM and it can go to a doting fan household.

I can identify all but one. Who the gently caress is that between SSJ Goku and Great Saiyaman on the top row, in the white top?

I was going to say Videl, but why the gently caress is Rock Lee training with the Z-Warriors?!?

Also, if they're clamshell costumes (weighted clothes :v:) it's likely they came from, like, a Burger King kids meal or something.

This has me thinking. I have a ton of old DBZ/GT poo poo in a box in my basement from when I was an super-alpha-nerd. I wonder how much some of it is worth.


Edit: Looked it up, I have the Bandai "Super Battle Collection" SS4 Goku, Vegeta, and Gogeta, along with regular old Son Gohan. They seem to go anywhere from ~$20 to $60 on eBay. Mostly $20ish though, the higher listings are probably guys that are just telling their wives that they can't get them to sell.

I also have a ton of these weird Japanese trading cards. They seem to be from some trading card game. The backs have numbers and "DEFENSE" around the edges. E2: http://stop2shop.com/dragonballz-herocollection1.html This is what I've got.

All in all, not super interesting.
