Z-Deck by Steve Minty

[PrincessTrouble]

So I asked if $17.58 was the correct shipping and they responded with "Haha, no worries." WTF does that mean?

[STLBluesNut]

The shipping may be borked but I love the deck and hope he continues with these anime decks. I really hope to see Fairy Tail or Sword Art Online decks.

Ok, they had the shipping weight set to pounds and instead of ounces. They are fixing it.

Does anyone have an idea of how many decks were printed? I would assume for a $15 deck that it is probably pretty high (3K - 5K). Any knowledge or guesses?

Same thing happened to JR when he offered extra Haunted 8 decks. Shipping to Europe was around 80 bucks.

Not sure about the Z deck but Steve told me there were 2000 of the Moon Deck printed. Could well be the same seeing as they were both for Geek Thirst.

I never did care for Dragon Ball Z, the animation is too kiddish for me but I like Steve's work and these cards look good.

i'll pass again.

While Steve Minty makes much effort with his designs.
This and the sailor deck looks awful to me.
I may be nitpicking, but the likeness of.t characters in both are way off.

'Kiddish'? Is this a bad attempt at a joke or are you simply clueless about animation? I've seen a lot of everything, family animation, adult animation, comedy animation, all the way back Hanna Barbera era animation, anime of every type from classic to modern, shounen to comedy to heavily stylised to action to slice-of-life to serious drama to sci-fi. It has it's own old school style but the only way to get less 'kiddish' animation than DBZ is to watch something like freaking Ghost in the Shell SAC. My word . Perhaps you've never seen anything older than the late 00's?

Yes, very much nitpicking and I have to completely disagree, as for the Z-Deck, I have the deck myself and I can say that the likenesses are very good and instantly recognisable. I'm not bothered at all about translating them to a different style, I don't think I'd be happy with essentially copy pasting them from a screenshot of the show and slapping them onto cards.

Pretty much agree with everything here.

I grew up watching Xmen, Batman and Spiderman animated series in the 90s. Years later animation like Crying Freeman, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Street Fighter II V series and Fist Of The North Star. So however I described DBZ, just not into it. Seems that I like animation/cartoon characters to look a lil' more ''realistic', not like Majin Buu or Mr. Popo. I still may get the deck anyway because the art is good.

You just don't like Japanese animation, then. Because that's what the DragonBall franchise is.

[Bradius]

Yeah, I remember high quality Japanese Animation in my teen years - Speed Racer! It doesn't get any better than that.

All the underlined ones are also Japanese anime. Hell, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and Fist of the North Star ran in the same manga magazine as Dragonball, for a while concurrently. I'm all for weeaboo dickwaving contests about which anime is the most anime ever to anime, but this isn't the strongest footing to start one on.

The direction this convo seems to be going is seriously givin' me flashbacks of "The Adventures of Butthurt Anime Fan":




So, comm'on guys, let's just all go watch Cowboy Bebop lol

Wow, right down to Pedostache Rock Lee ragging on Comic Book Guy Vegeta for being a "shonen fanboy," even though Naruto ran in Weekly Shonen Jump too you dingus

I am an extremely cool person who was very popular in high school.

I don't understand what this means. Never heard of any of the aforementioned shows. Don't 'sound' Japanese to me. You can "dickwave" about anime all you want. I wasn't, and I won't. Someone can cry about "Marvel vs DC" all day. It doesn't matter. Someone will like one thing better, and another, the other. When subjective tastes are part of the equation regarding objectively good mediums, there will be disagreements. The DragonBall franchise is a fine, fine, animated series.

How have I never seen this? Lol. And OMG that chick in the video who says 'it's just a cartoon', that one gets me, it's like saying 'it's only a film/book/artwork/song/TV show/video game'. As if the creative and emotional expression of the human race, which connects and explores and represents us in a way beyond language, culture, experience and even time could possibly be defined as 'just'. She's what is known as a Basic B****.

It's not that I'm really into anime (hardly had time to watch any the last few years), it's that I'm really into everything and have the numbers/taste to back it up. I haven't gone back to watch DBZ since I was a kid but I do have the whole series remastered in 720p with both original japanese and english voice acting (like I saw it back in the day, and the only series I will ever accept with an english dub as a result) which I opened up just to make sure before I commented . The last thing I did get around to watching after always meaning to was the Trigun movie, damn I miss the old school stuff sometimes! I swear there was more real personality in the old stuff, not just surface level. I still have and listen to a favourite track from the OST of Now and Then, Here and There which could bring a tear to the eye.

This deck had evaded my radar until today when I saw it on Steve Minty’s Instagram - he mentioned it could be had from his site by using the search “z deck” there - also still at geekthirst site

[Bradius]

I think we were limited to just one when they came out. A nice opportunity for those that missed it for sure.
