Return to Pojo's Dragonball

Q: So, what did you think of Season 3? Was it more or less than you expected?

A: When I first heard that FUNimation was going to continue to dub the series, I have to admit I was extremely indifferent. I had already seen most of the series, so I really did not care. When they first aired the new season I wasn't surprised to see how they continued to butcher the series. Honestly I really don't care how DragonBall turns out in America because I've already been there and done that. And I know no matter how much effort they put into the voices, and how much they get past the censors, it will never be close to equaling the original Japanese series.

Q: Do you see any hope for FUNimation?

A: Simply, no.

Q: I realize that all of your section's are not complete. From the looks of things now though your site is mainly a source for multimedia and not information. Is this how you want it to be or do you have the attitude of whatever the visitors want?

A: Woah, your the first person who actually noticed that. I REALLY want to get more information on my site, but writing text (such as this) takes an extreme amount of time. I looking for my friends and visitors of my site to submit more essays and for more people to write summaries for me.

Q: Any big plans for your site? If so, can you share them with me?

A: Keep this on the Down low, I've been working for the last 2 months on an SSJ2 Gohan music video that I will be entering into competitions.

Q: The section on your site "They should have.." is very interesting. Why only one situation though? When do you think that you will be updating that section and what do you think it will be about?

A: I'm planning on updating that section a lot more in the near future. I'm kinda of aiming at writing about the stupid mistakes that characters continue to make throughout the series.

Q: Now, I know that Planet Namek hosts your site. Can you explain to us what Planet Namek offers and what you have to do to stay with them?

A: I have to say, planetnamek.com was a GOD SEND. Before them, I had my multimedia files hosted on free servers such as Geocities and Xoom. With planetnamek I get unlimited space so I know have to worry about getting new accounts and having them deleted. MrE saw the great potential in my site and was eager to sign me up for his hosting. Only thing is, when he changed hosts, the new host only had banners for pages with the URL on planetnamek.com , so I had to move my site away from AOL .

Q:  Fan-subs are a thing of great controversy. Do you believe that they help spread the popularity of DB? What affect do you think fan-subs have on FUNimation?

A: Fan-subs are a very good thing. Because of them real die hard fans have access to the original series and not the crap FUNimation is putting out. I think fan-subs will be FUNimation's down fall (not that that's a bad thing), because as more people buy fan-subs, more people will realize what FUNimation is doing to the series.

Q: I am not trying to back you into a corner, but there are a lot of DB
sites out there. What does your site have to offer that isn't already out there and what do you hope to accomplish by putting up a DB page (In no way to I mean to sound rude)?

A: No offense taken. With my page I really take pride on its originality.
There are WAY to many newbie and dubbie sites that steal from other people's hard work and claim it on their own. Very few people use their own material on their page, and I am very proud to say I am one of them. Everything thing you see on my page I created myself from DragonBall material such as my fansubs and artbooks.

Q: What made you want to start a DB web page?

A: I really wanted to spread my knowledge of the series for those that were not exposed to the original DragonBall, and what better way than to create a webpage?

Q: Are you a new-comer when it comes to web pages or have you built some in the past? If so, what have been your other web sites and what were they about?

A: I originally started off with the Guru's of DragonBall website design, DsJ. I made numerous pages for about a year before I finally left them and settled down into this page. Also, I have made numerous pages for friends and family. At this time I am working on 2 new sites based on Rurouni Kenshin and Macross, two other great animes.

Q: Out of all the DB theme music, what is your favorite song?

A: My favorite DragonBall song of all time has got to be the ending to Movie 10 (the second fight Vs Brolly). "Kissek no Big Fight," great song.

Q: Have you had any run-ins with page pirates? What do you think drives these people to steal?

A: I have had many people steal my multimedia and my layouts. To get rid of them I constantly e-mail them and have my friends e-mail them telling them to get rid of my material, or shut down their site. For now that has worked ^_^ . Most people steal without realizing the magnitude of their crime, most of them are just newbies who need educating. I really hate it when a person steals knowing how wrong it really is.

Q: What is one section that you hope to bring to your site and why do you want to bring this section to your site?

A: I'm thinking of starting a section that features winamp skins and desktop themes. I've always loved downloading that sort of of stuff.

Q: In your opinion, what would be the best fight in DB?

A: Cell Game, can't beat Super Saiya Jin level 2 Son Gohan ^_^

Q: Now, in DB what was the best fight and what was the worst fight in your opinion?

A: Best fight as I said before, the Cell Game. The worst has to be the
Freezer Saga. Come on, 60 episodes to defeat one guy? Way to many fill in episodes.

andy- Well it has been fun and I am glad you could do it.

Mystic- I would like to thank you for coming up with such intelligent questions, you truly are a dedicated fan and I wish the best for your site.
