Gonna watch Resurrection of F this weekend when it goes up for digital rental on Google Play. I'm surprised Funimation hasn't bothered hosting some of the older movies like that. It's nice to be able to toss $4 bucks at google for a thing that I want to watch exactly once. I got the itch to watch the Bojack movie the other day, and was totally willing to pay to rent it like that, but instead I had to watch some rando's lovely youtube upload with artifacting and copyright filter avoidance measures. You're leaving money on the table, Funimation

HD DAD posted:Plus the original score is actually really, really good. The old DBZ music is super fun. All lo-fi kung-fu movie orchestral poo poo, with hammy drama stings. It's really evocative of the conceptual source material of ridiculous low-budget martial arts films, while still being dramatic enough to match up to the crazy poo poo happening on screen.

Mordaedil posted:The beams are not different in strength, they are a projection of pure ki energy and are as strong as their users, not more, not less. Imagine a bunch of fists being pounded every second into the face of the enemy at full strength while the charge it, to be released as a single long-range attack once they spot an opening in the enemy. It's not that Galick gun as stronger than Kamehameha, it was that Vegeta was stronger than Goku. Until he used Kaioken to make himself stronger. Special Beam Cannon in particular is extra deadly because it's extremely focused. Recall how it pierced a perfect, tiny hole in the Very Powerful Barrier around Champa & Beerus's arena. It's all of Piccolo's ludicrous power, concentrated into a tiny bullet that is spinning like a drill. It does call into question why it takes Interstellar Warrior Prodigy / God Kinda Piccolo 2 minutes to charge it up, where Krillin can crap out a Kienzan capable of slicing off hunks of Frieza in like a second, though.

eonwe posted:special beam cannon and frieza's death beam are the best dragonball moves other than perhaps buu's ability to turn people into food which owns pretty hard.  I like Special Beam Cannon, I think, aside from the fact that it's stylish as all gently caress, because there's just so much fanfare for it. It takes forever to charge up, Piccolo's body is doing all this gross stuff with his veins, there's lightning shooting out of the energy ball the whole time, and even if it misses Piccolo still blows up a fuckin mountain. I'm fond of Galick Gun for similar reasons. You get the bitchin purple ki aura, that gets all spiky and lightning-y because Vegeta is loving LIVID pretty much any time he's using it, hand he does that thing with his hands that kind of implies he's just dumping his entire fury on you(r planet) like a giant bucket of hate.

RoboChrist 9000 posted:And part of it is the coloring, but it's also the very way they draw their faces; Bulma and Chi-Chi both look younger than they did in the Buu saga. And Videl of course looks like she regressed a decade or two. Bulma's the richest person on the planet, probably, in a world where there is definitely future-tech. She can probably look however she wants to.

RBX posted:If DB never had super sayian would it be as popular in America? Me and all my little friends were super hype about DBZ before we knew what Super Saiyan was, so... probably? I only knew what was coming like a few months before Toonami aired the rest of the Frieza Saga because I delved deep into Geocities and found that there was still a shitload more DBZ in existence besides what we had

My favorite Japanese King Kai thing: His character is flailing and screaming and getting all pointy-teeth, and his voice just sounds like regular bored talking. King Kai is a treasure.

The voices and music were seriously grating. Nothing can convince me that this: Yeah I'm not trying to argue in favor of the English dub ITT. I love the Japanese audio. I also love the stupid, gruff Piccolo voice in the English dub, though.

TheKingofSprings posted:Did you forget how much poo poo the original anime injected that never actually happened? I remember how the Jaco book retconned baby Goku's brain damage out of the story I'm not talking about anime vs. manga purity. I'm talking about like entire lines of dialog added to the English dub for no reason that fill in what would be important character details except they aren't correct. I don't even remember what Vegeta's original line is there, because "brilliant scientist" got burned into my stupid 9 year-old brain.

I'm pretty sure the Saiyans don't have family names. They're all incubated in vats and are kinda apathetically aware of who their parents and siblings are, except for the Royals I guess.

Pureauthor posted:Ash and Gary got their start in the anime. In the games their names are assigned by the player. They have default canonical names of Red and Green in the games, but yeah. Or Blue, I guess, in the US. This is confirmed when they appear in later games, like Gold/Silver and Sun/Moon.

Spidder posted:US dubs being retarded and kiddifying scripts/editing shows in an absurd and embarassing way does not excuse the DBZ dub. It's still terrible regardless of the cirumstanes off the other dubs at the time. Piccolo-san dai-dai-dai-dai-daisuki  Krillin is okay, too. Sean Schemmel's Goku can gently caress right off.

Wheat Loaf posted:Finally resumed my DBZ rewatch with the Garlic Jr. saga. It's good fun - I liked this one a lot when I watched it on Cartoon Network however many years ago it was and I enjoy it now because it gives Piccolo, Gohan and Krillin their last big chance to shine before Trunks arrives and Goku and Vegeta come back. Ultimate Muscle is the only 4kids anime in history with a good theme song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ac3Cr965jM

OB_Juan posted:For some reason, I originally thought Piccolo called it the Special Bean Cannon, because he was a plant person. I guess that's what I get for watching Z first? I mean, to be fair it was Demon Light Murder Gun in the original work, which also wouldn't tell you much about What Piccolo Is (besides a stone cold motherfucker). A lot of the "culture" for dragon ball on the west is like ironic love for the very campy early dubs, which I can appreciate. It pretty much gave us DBZ Abridged, and that's good enough for me.

Vegeta having a working knowledge of Shonen Battle fighting styles and the physical properties of gag characters is still the best thing ever in Dragon Ball.
