I remember Cartoon Network was rationing them out so conservatively that I ended up downloading them all after the Ginyu mini-saga.

Ew, why! You poor soul. CN was the worse place to watch DBZ. Especially with that craptastic Funi dub. I had already ordered a shitload of fansubs and a bunch of raw manga at that point and didn't even bother with CN anymore.

See, that's what I had, fansubs. Only some of them were horribly low-grade, 34th generation tape-dubs. Some of them the video was straight static for long stretches. It was like the dark ages of illegal anime, man.

On, and they were all in RealPlayer format. Remember that shit? God damn.

Anyway, I remember the Buu saga knocking my socks off. I was beside myself with amazement. The whole section where Mr. Satan befriends Fat Buu was like comedic lightning in a bottle to me at the time.

And they were definitely fansubs because everyone was screaming obscenities half the time.

Anytime Super Buu raged the subtitles were always "FUUUUUUCK" or "SHIIIIIIT" or the like. Gohan would tell Buu he was gonna beat his ass, etc.

It was glorious.

I remember being so fucking amazed at the Raditz battle alone when I first watched it because it was 1996 and aside from the character design for young Goku, I had no idea what the fuck DB was. "What? This fight lasted four episodes? RLY?" Mind blown.

joe · « **Reply #33 on:** Nov 13, 2010, 04:46:49 AM »

Yeah, man. I'm sure I've related this story a dozen times already, but back in the day Canada's equivalent of Cartoon Network was this channel called YTV, and they aired the first 13 episodes of the original DB. My little brother told me about it and I thought he was lying his ass off because it sounded so batshit crazy. But sure enough, he showed it to me when it was on, and that was that.

Then like a year later when Z first started up in syndication, my brother tells me how there was this new show where the fat monkey kid was grown up and flying around shooting lasers and kicking the crap out of people, and again I could only assume he was lying through his teeth. But nope.

And that was the beginning of the end. All those awesome dudes fighting against Vegeta and Nappa? Couldn't believe my eyes. I was trapped.

The Raditz one is still my fave through. With the Saban edited Ocean Group dub, Special ~~Needs~~ Beam Cannon and all.

joe · « **Reply #35 on:** Nov 13, 2010, 05:13:43 AM »

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Saban did all the way up to the defeat of giant monkey Vegeta, didn't they? Or did they go even longer than that? Or maybe not even that long?

I can't remember. It's all mushing together in my memorybanks.

B E C K · « **Reply #36 on:** Nov 13, 2010, 05:16:10 AM »

They did all the way to the Frieza saga where Vegeta realizes Gohan stole his four-star dragon ball. And I was so excited to see more but then shit met fan met Funi 4-person in-house voice dubbing and dude-with-casio music work.

joe · « **Reply #37 on:** Nov 13, 2010, 05:41:47 AM »

I'm so glad I hang on to some things.

I wish I still had the one where spooie photoshopped him to look like Cyclops shooting from his visor.

B E C K · « **Reply #38 on:** Nov 13, 2010, 05:46:22 AM »

I have gotten used to so much of his other work but still hate his Vegeta will equal passion as I did back in 1999 or whenever. It really is terrible.

joe · « **Reply #39 on:** Nov 13, 2010, 06:11:17 AM »

Come on. When he said "Kakarot" it just rolled off the tongue. It was practically musical.

I just looked him up on IMDB, are they actually redubbing Kai in its entirety? Those people must be fucking sick to death of that whole franchise.

I watched all of DBZ back in The Day, and now I'm watching Kai. Stuff still drags out, but not as interminably long as it did.

But the RealVideo crap still gives me nerd angina, particularly when I find an old copy sitting on a hard drive. Not only was the format itself shitty, making for the crummiest of crummy video, but the players were more so (thank goodness for Realplayer Alternative). I watched the Invid Invasion of Robotech in that format back in '98.

God, seriously.

Kevin James needs to eat her, then poop her out in her original form.

It would be like when Buu ate Vegeto and crapped out Goku and Vegeta.

Yeah, kinda like that.

I don't need to explain it, everyone knows what I'm saying.

...I don't.

All dubs into english suck, thats the rule.
The mexican dubs don't suck as much BUT they do use the same fucking person for a lot of characters, in anime and movies. So you have freaking Goku's voice talking in the body of Jean Claude Van Damme (true story)

Two words: Potara earring.

I miss the Mexican dub of DBZ. Back in the show's heyday, it used to air on Telemundo or something.

Yeah, it was Gogeta who used the Fusion dance in one of the movies, right?

B E C K · « **Reply #46 on:** Nov 17, 2010, 12:45:58 AM »

Yes.

I didn't care for that dub. Wendee Lee in anything adds large amounts of suckage. Ouran High School Host Club was a real good dub.

Rodent of Unusual Size · « **Reply #47 on:** Nov 17, 2010, 02:15:51 AM »

I don't care how much people hate Vic Mignobologna or however his name is spelled, but both Fullmetal Alchemist series have been great in English.

Omg I have so much dirt on that guy and yet I've never even heard him.

You have dirt on a buy named Mignobalonga? That's amazing.

Flirting with them, have been seen a couple of times getting some girl into his room at night that looked definitely underaged. Also, he likes to drink a lot even thouhg he says he doesnt drink and hes the biggest pain int he ass. Hes very mean with the con workers ahd hes dirty with the girls (telling them dirty things when flirting). He's also a homophobe.

Etc, etc etc. I'llt ry to remember something juicy.

I just searched for his article in Encyclopedia Dramatica lol its hilarious and practically repeats everything I told you http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Vic_Mignogna

the incident mentioned in " he does yaoi fanservice for EdxRoy and makes up BS stories about meeting CLAMP to "disprove" yaoi." is that supposedly the character he voices in the series is gay but he said its not (cause he hates 'mos) and that he met the ladies at CLAMP and he asked them directly if the guy was gay and they said he wasnt. Of course pics of this dont exist hence why nobody believe him.

Actually shit, they even explain this further on that article. Oh well.

Rodent of Unusual Size · « **Reply #54 on:** Nov 20, 2010, 11:07:41 PM »

Encyclopedia Dramatica...your source for unbiased, factual reporting. It's especially solid when it berates him as a homophobe only to turn around to call the character he's best-known for playing a faggot.

Though the Asspark article was pretty funny and not far from the mark.

Was shit really that serious at the Ass-spank. I guess I got banned before all of that went down. And I'm kinda sad to see that CGB was apart of the problem, according to te article anyway.

Dude everything I said is stuff that I've heard, obviously from the same people that posted it on encyclopedia dramatica. Are you a Ranger or something?
