That bullshit in Abridged with the purple aliens being the distant descendants of belligerent killer were-monkey men was totally made up by Team Fourstar, right? Right?

Pretty sure Cell and Hercule have the same voices.

Why would you buy Z instead of Kai or the manga? Even if Kai's disks are more expensive, you're basically getting more anyway with the filler cut out. And Freeza not sounding like an old woman.

EvilTobaccoExec posted:Some of the very best parts of dragon ball z were filler. Well yeah, no one's denying that Piccolo and Goku taking driving lessons isn't amazing, but you can just look up all the good filler on YouTube, since like 90% of the filler stories are (probably) boring stuff like Fake Namek.

NikkolasKing posted:The "Goku is a fighting junky" topic has made me want to ask you all a question I've always puzzled over. Goku's selfish moments have always come across as his childish disposition shining through, at least to me. Goku didn't think about how Vegeta might come back because he's a dumb manchild, and dumb manchildren don't think about the long-term consequences of their actions.

Squallege posted:Is there filler in Dragon Ball? Hell yeah there is. Personally I'd just stick with the manga, since there's a great set of omnibuses Viz released with larger pages than usual, and Dragonball's only sixteen volumes.

Esroc posted:The use of CG for the fights scenes was lazy. Super Saiyan God was silly, made no sense within established canon, and was also a lazy design. Overall it was just all around lazy. I enjoyed parts of it. Beerus was awesome and Vegeta finally had a moment to shine. And the comedy was top notch. But Toriyama phoned it in for various aspects and it shows. I dunno man, Dragonball was pretty fantastic because it was THE GREATEST ACTION-ADVENTURE-FANTASY-COMEDY manga series of all time, which Z mostly ignored. If Battle of the God's comedy was actually good, then he can do whatever the hell he wants to with the franchise and recon the poo poo out of it, because it's him finally remembering how cool his series was before it because about aliens screaming at each other.

I assume Nicktoons would probably be pretty pissed if they didn't get first dibs on the Buu saga, seeing as how DBZ Kai was apparently pretty consistently high in the ratings, to the point where they even started airing GT and other old anime, so there's that too.

Kild posted:Didn't Goku not have food for like 3 days when they fought? Yeah, and Yamcha got wrecked right after Goku finished eating, so his only achievement was beating up a starving twelve-year old Goku. While he was sixteen. People joke about Yamcha, but he really was a chump for pretty much the entire series.

Dred Cosmonaut posted:I literally scoff when I see Mr. Satan instead of hercule The Viz translations are probably where most of the dumb names come from, since they use all the Japanese names like Son Goku, Kame Senin and Kuruin. Which is weird, because they're otherwise fantastic translations.

One of the Q&A sessions I saw in the Dragonball volumes had him saying that he pretty much spent all day in the living room drawing the comic with the TV on in the background though, so I'm not sure how much of the series, if any, he was actually slacking off for.

They were supposed to be starting on that years ago, we heard about Buu Saga Kai being a thing initially from Krillin's Japanese VA saying the show would be direct to DVD, and then a while afterward Kyle Hebert said work was starting on the Buu saga. Then Toriko ended and DBZ Kai got its timeslot back, so presumably we're getting a staggered release so people don't just import our DVDs. DBZ Kai was pretty drat popular on Nicktoons, so it's not like it's not coming eventually.

tbp posted:recoome was the first guy in the series I think that was just like indomitably strong I dunno, Nappa was basically them throwing everything they had at him and it doing less than nothing, since Tien and Chautzu died with their desperation moves doing nothing.

Prison Warden posted:It actually is a reference, it's just also a japanese turtle pun Yeah this, they even go "isn't that the name of that Hawaiian king..." in the manga. Supposedly, he wanted "kame" (turtle) in the attack and asked his wife, who gave him King Kamehameha. This was also the issue where the puff-puff was introduced, which makes it extra funny that she gave him advice.
