I've started to DL a few episodes, but I dont have a clue on where to find a decent collection. I've found all DBZ and some of DB, but missing most parts of DB. I've found tons, but some MORONS thought it would be a good idea to give them english voices. Its not even funny to hear how bad it is. Japanese ftw. Anyone know where I can find it?
And btw. About all those movies.. when are those placed in the series? Any relevance how I watch em (If I watch them that is )?
Yeah, that is the whine Im talking about. Hehe, Its so true thoguh. Why the hell use 100 episodes on something that could fit in 50? All about $$$ I guess.willowywicca wrote:
Hmm, well I've only seen DBZ (and most of DBGT) dubbed (urgh~), the reason I've seen it is prob it's one of the earliest animes that was shown on tv here and it was before I had good internet for DLing proper stuff... (okay not the earliest, transformers was anime afterall x< but the earliest with many anime traits like big eyes, spikey hair etc.. ). While I have no doubt in my mind that the original version is miiiilllleeeeeessss better (dubbed version was editted too to not be too violent/bloody afaik) - I even have a clip of goku shouting in english "super kaioken!" (lamely ) then the equivalent scene in original form which is like 500times better.. So anyway, bearing in mind I only saw the dubbed version..
DBZ sets the standard for all that's wrong in shounen action! Namely, taking massively long for the actual fighting to start (due to talking, flashbacks (hi der naruto) etc..) and then for having the patented, "lets pan over every character and hear them go 'Omg, he's more powerful than I ever imagined' taking up 2 minutes before the 3 seconds of a fight afterwards". I'm sure you'll have seen these too attributes in many shounen action animes and probably when an anime does these too often they're referred to as being DBZish.. all shounen action does them tho, it's just a matter of how much, naruto is very bad for the first one and has it's fair share of the second too (especially during the chounin test part). One piece has a moderate amount of the second, but in general isn't too bad for the first imo.. Bleach has a bit of both too..
Currently listening to: Take a Shot - Nana Mizuki, uber insert song from ep12 of Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha...
btw who knows what my avatar is from? Everyone should watch that series too if they haven't already!

Btw. Next naruto ep. will be good I think. Last two episodes were backgroud story, but hoping they will get it on this ep. That fight is so DAMN good!
