Re: Unpopular DB opinions

You don't know who Monna is? Did you not watch DBS episode 112? I could understand if you are strictly a dub watcher. I skipped most of ToP since it was boring as hell and full of characters i don't even care about because everyone knew that beside U6 and U11 there was no universe that matters. Man...

Re: Disregarding quality, are you happy Super existed

I'm not. I'd honestly have preferred if the series ended to being up to the viewer's interpretation of what's coming up next for Goku following the Majin Boo arc. Instead, it's going off to the deeper end to becoming another cash-grab like Star Wars -- both series ended, faded into the past as a leg...

Why is Dragon Ball so Popular?

Dragon Ball hit mainstream like a train, it is at a level unrivaled by any anime/manga series aside from Pokemon or Doraemon, however it's hard to pinpoint exactly why Akira Toriyama's magnum opus had such a profound impact. I believe what made Dragon Ball a phenomenon, in Japan particularly, is bec...

Re: Thoughts on Ribrianne?

I don't hate her, but I certainly don't like her that much either. She's overstayed her welcome and she got progressively more annoying with her long monologues about love that really have no substance to them, I get that she's a joke character, but her shitck isn't funny any more after two or three...

Re: How will they fix the writing problem that Super had?

The biggest and most notable problem with not only Super, but DB as an entirety is the formula revolving around future antagonists constantly somehow coming off stronger than the previous antagonist, even if character X or Y was once heralded as the strongest entity in the universe. I get that DB is...

Re: Re-watching the entire anime, do you get bored?

Sometimes, but that mostly stems from me prefering the manga format. The DB anime isn't a bad adaptation, but it doesn't capture the intensity of the manga, especially not later on with the Z anime, Toei straight up butchers the original pacing which destroys my immersion with the anime. With the ma...

Re: Dragon Ball Minus - Current thoughts?

Never liked it and I never liked Gine either, she's among the worst thing to happen in this series. She undermines the ambiguous morality of the Saiyans. Because of Gine, Bardock was reduced into a concerned father who sends his son off to another world to be a hero instead of the unrepentant warmon...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions

The vast majority of the people within the DB fandom doesn't understand DB, and it's not because they're stupid, it's more because they have their own headcanon which is shielded by nostalgia. Cell was at his high point as a character when he was Imperfect, and once he absorbed #17, he lost that sav...

Re: Jiren -such a huge disappointment

His backstory is pretty basic by Dragon Ball standards, but it gets the job done and lays on what exactly he wants to wish for. Jiren stated he wants something that lies beyond strength which means he wants something that with all of his power he could never achieve by normals means. And even then, ...

Re: Why are Goku & Chi-Chi the only flawed parents of the sh

If you notice, the other parents are usually better in comparison, like Bulma and Vegeta, Krillin and 18, Gohan and Videl, Bulma's Parents, and the Ox-King and Mr. Satan. Granted Vegeta isn't Father of the Year either and is just as bad, if not worse, as Goku in some aspects, but I noticed that he ...

It's pretty hard to choose, really. Dragon Ball Z has many Faulconer soundtracks I like. Either way, it's between one of these three:

Re: J-Stars Victory Vs. (JUMP crossover game) for PS3/Vita

Looks good.

Can't wait until the game possibly gets released here in Europe. The only reason I am pretty much buying this game is because of Yuusuke, Gon, Kenshin Himura and Gintoki Sakata.

Re: Buu Saga: The Best/Worst Saga In DBZ

Majin Boo Saga had it's ups and downs. I loved how Akira Toriyama brought back the humor Dragon Ball had during the first part of the manga. I also loved the Fusion technique and Chou Gohan beating up Evil Boo (in a very brief moment, unfortunately.) However, I discourage of how the Super Saiyan tra...
