>The botched release of DB not once but twice in the states was a tragedy
Indeed. When I first got internet, I was shocked to learn that the americans started the DB story right in the middle, which made absolutely no sense to me. Like, characters weren't even introduced, they all just showed up nonsensically with planet-destroying powers.
I think they didn't even know that Goku's full name was actually Son Goku. Same for Son Gohan, etc.

The swapped OST was another tragedy. The original japanese soundtrack was absolute soulful and is still one of the best ever for action anime for me.
