God I remember those, and feeling way too old to be excited about them. That didn't stop me from getting Android 19 and 20 figures at age 14.

There is a trend, long running in the VGs case, of just using the Japanese soundtrack instead of the Falcunoer track.

The Japanese soundtrack is far superior anyway.

Back in the day when you could only see these movies as lovely subbed realplayer videos, Cooler 2, Bojack, and Janemba were supposed to be the "excellent" ones.

Awesome. I'll need to finally check out the dubs of those. I loved Janemba and fat Gogeta.

Also, in the fansub/import days, it was one billion times more easy to get the movies that the show. Us late Gen Xers often got the movies and only bits and pieces of the show, as opposed to the next generation that got the show then sporadic releases of the movies. However, we created a lot of the older sites that helped paved the way to how the Internet saw the series.

Right there with you. The movies actually had official VHS releases in the 90s too, and it wasn't too difficult to nab one of those off of some slightly shady Web 1.0 site.

Still remember reading the movie summaries on Planet Namek and memorizing those characters long before I ever saw them in action.

That was the main complaint back on the forums back when they were releasing new dub episodes back in 2000-2002. The music was constant, and I think I would have been more okay with the Faulkner score if they used periods of silence appropriately.

Though we all knew it was going to happen, this led to them completely butchering Gohan going SSJ2.

neither did the original Dragonball score guy

You're thinking of Kenji Yamamoto, who did Kai's music until he got booted off

Yup. Shunsuke Kikuchi is a veteran composer, and he's done a lot of high profile work.

Sadly, Kenji Yamamoto did have some contributions to the original score - he "wrote" Battle Power Infinity, the song that plays when Future Trunks slices up Frieza. It came out 20 years later that he plagiarized the song from some German synth pop band lol

Did you post it on Planet Namek along with your PL list?

No, that was me. Along with moderating the Planet Namek forums and reviewing new dub VHSs of the Android Saga.

I became well adjusted eventually.

Pft just wait for Dragon Ball AF. My uncle's coworker who works at TOEI showed me designs for SUPER SAYAIN 5 GOKU! He has silver hair and it's gonna be totally badass guys. Now excuse me while I post about it on Daizenshuu Ex and blast Willennium.

And it'll mark the first time that a Funimation dub of a DB series will be running concurrently with its Japanese counterpart, albeit probably 50 episodes behind.

Didn't Viz translate the first chapters of the Saiyan Saga as their first foray into DB? I'd chalk it up to them not finding their footing just yet.

They're also one of the oldest Dragon Ball sites still in operation. I can excuse some of the ego, because they usually have the goods to back it up.

You're not getting the true DB experience unless you read the original 42 first press tankouban in Japanese. Which I definitely do not own, and did not use to try and teach myself Japanese in 8th grade. :shepicide:

(The 3-in-1s are an excellent deal.)

wasn't the bojack movie actually the most-toryiama involved of them all prior to BoG

I could have sworn I read this on planet namek

Yeah, I think he did the character designs for Bojack and his crew. And back in the Planet Namek days, that one was considered hands down the best DBZ movie, along with Janemba.

I forgot just how good the episode where Gohan just obliterates all the Cell Jrs is. Especially in the Japanese version where there's almost next to no music as he zips around being loving terrifying.

I think Nappa should've stayed alive and just been in a wheelchair. That way we have out 90's required handicapped character

If we did that, then we'd need a cool black kid with a flat-top. Like a reverse Chiaotzu.
