DRAGON BALL FULL COLOR TP VOL 03 SAIYAN ARC: Volume 3 (Dragon Ball Full Color Saiyan Arc)

Product Information

And even if that doesn't sway you, Dragon Ball's Viz manga has never really been something that goes around the piracy scene anyway; I guarantee you what you'd be reading on Manga Geek or whatever else would be a shitty scanlation from the '90s using comic sans typeface, full of mistranslations and other errors, and artificially filled with swears for a TOTALLY RADICAL EDGY FLAVOUR or something else like that. And probably a bunch of it would be flipped around for western comics-style L-to-R reading. And, I'm gonna be honest, "replac[ing] those old 90s scans with cleaner, more accurate ones" kinda just makes me a little angry. People devoting resources to translating a manga Viz has had official releases of for roughly 20 years so people who choose to pirate the manga instead of buying it can have a slightly better reading experience, instead of scanlating stuff like Victory Mission which has no full translation?

Jump Super Stars • Heroes: Victory Mission • Heroes: Charisma Mission • Heroes: Ultimate Charisma Mission • Discross Jinryoku God Max!! • Xenoverse 2 • Fusions • FighterZ For ages, I was afraid to re-read the content of this volume. I absolutely loved Dragon Ball Z from about 2003 to maybe 2007. It was in 2006 that I began to read the manga, starting from the beginning of the Dragon Ball series, with kid Goku, as the series is meant to be, regardless of VIZ's distinction between both halves of the series. Unfortunately, some time in high school, I somewhat randomly came up with this silly idea that I disliked (no, "hated") the Z chapters, for shitting so hard on the comedic adventure roots, in favor of aliens and power-level bullshit and directionless story arcs.If Viz are merciful, and decide to release each arc over the course of a year, this will be better, with the release schedule being more like Cell in 2018, Boo in 2020, Boyhood in 2022, and Piccolo in 2024. I was thrown into the world with little explanation, but everything was explained well-enough along the way. I got at least some understanding of their powers and how they worked. There was a bit more violence than I expected, and I didn’t grow too attached to the characters, but it was interesting. The fight scenes were pretty easy to follow. The art wasn't too bad, either. Japanese manga is one of the best types of comic for you to read. Manga has amazing art style and exciting storytelling. Nowadays, with the help of webtoon – a kind of webcomic that allows you to read comics by scrolling easily, manga is adjusted in the webtoon form and free online manga brings even better experience to readers. People devoting resources to translating a manga Viz has had official releases of for roughly 20 years so people who choose to pirate the manga instead of buying it can have a slightly better reading experience, instead of scanlating stuff like Victory Mission which has no full translation?

Cell would be 2018-2019, Boo would be 2021-2022, Boyhood would be 2024-2025, and Piccolo would be 2027-2028. The Ginyu fight lasted a lot shorter than I remembered it being. This includes the few chapters with Ginyu in Goku's body. Maybe Toei dragged it out for their shitty anime adaptation? I also could have sworn Bulma was present when the frog was thrown in the way of Ginyu's body-change beam, but maybe I'm thinking of the frog reappearing in a later chapter or something. sintzu wrote:I could be wrong but I think someone from Viz said they were going to release 3 volumes per year so if that's true then Cell will take up 2018-2019 while Buu 2020-2021. It would be much like if I said all of Funimation's work is unwatchable garbage simply for the reason that Funimation's in-house cast is not the cast I grew up on. (Then again, one could argue there's some truth to this; I don't like Funimation's cast, and maybe that is a nostalgia-based bias. But that's a whole other discussion that I'm not in the mood to get into right now) Enter Trunks • The Red Ribbon Androids • Rise of the Machines • The Terror of Cell • The Room of Spirit and Time • The Cell Game • Gohan vs. Cell • Death of a WarriorYou think Vegerot sounds awful, many people think Kuririn sounds awful, personally I think "Bulla", the American Evil Dragon names, a bunch of the Super name decisions ("Beerus", spelling Geran as "Jiren", etc.), the "Buu" and "Frieza" spellings, a huge chunk of the romanised-rather-than-translated-or-adapted subtitle terms ("Ryugadani Valley" from episode 2, various instances of "Tenkaichi"/"Tenkaichi Budoukai" in the pre-first tournament training, "Kami"/"Kami-sama", etc. etc.), and various other well-established, well-accepted name decisions sound stupid. So, using these assumptions to estimate the release times, and not counting overhangs of a month or two in/out of the given years(Freeza's last volume was the 3rd of January 2017, but in my estimation, I would write Freeza's release as just being 2016)... That said, yeah, at the current point, reading for free is an incredibly stupid idea because Viz is basically asking for the second lowest price anyone could reasonably ask for a paid service and the replacement scans aren't done yet (or have been outright cancelled, idk). So, if this turns out true, we'll be waiting 11 years for the rest of the Full Colour manga. As much as Viz's handling of Full Colour is awful, I doubt they'd be that bad with it, although I wouldn't totally discount the possibility. A review copy was provided by the publisher, VIZ Media, and Erik Jansen from MediaLab PR. Thank you so, so much!

Every Dragon Ball translation has its own particular naming conventions, and each one has its merits. Deciding a translation is bad just because you personally find these names don't roll of the tongue as well as the names that you're used to from the version you grew up with strikes me as a particularly immature way of criticising.I mean, just because Viz translated it, doesn't mean everyone's accepted their translation of it, especially since they seemed to have had a "close enough" attitude towards the translations (if the amount of corrections Herms had to make are any indication). For instance, even as recently as the 3-in-1 releases, they still call Vegetto "Vegerot," which sounds awful regardless of how much more sense it makes to the US naming conventions. Viz seem to release each arc over the period of a little under a year, then take nearly a year's break. (Saiyan: February-June 2014, Freeza: May 2016-January 2017, Cell: 2018-???) Having not read the original Dragonball Z in manga form I am not 100% sure how much quality was retained in colorizing the series but from what I can tell the book looks amazing even retaining the original Japanese sound effects where they did not want to chance ruining part of a scene. If you enjoyed the anime I bet you will enjoy this book too.
