Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Before the dub the U.S Dragon Ball fandom was practically nonexistent. Honestly it feels like some of you are using your hatred of the dub to not give Funi any credit for their role in popularizing DBZ in America. There are people on this very site (including moderators) who prove that this is not ...

Re: My Greatest Concern Regarding DBS (the REAL issue)
It's absolutely 100% fine to criticize Super's animation (I like to do it a lot!) but I also wish people approached this topic with a level head and clearer understanding. The anime industry IS a different place, by the way. Horrible production issues and corner cutting are hardly exclusive to Toei ...

Re: Super Animation Catalogue 2.0 - Episode 90
I don't think it'll do any good to pester Sato about working on Super. He gets that enough on just about every drawing he posts, I'm sure.

Re: Super Animation Catalogue 2.0 - Episode 89
It might not always feel like it, but Super is extremely lucky to have Yashima. I've learned to have a soft spot for the guy, even if his style isn't the most appealing. He's even a better storyboard artist than many people give him credit for (including myself at first!). It's actually kind of a sh...

Re: Super Animation Catalogue 2.0 - Episode 89
Yeah, I'm especially hoping that Sato returns before the tournament begins, so that she can have another chance to show off with scenery on Earth before all the art directors get confined to a single setting. Some art directors, like Lee, still have neat ways of making things visually interesting by...

Re: Super Animation Catalogue 2.0 - Episode 89
I liked episode 90, even if it wasn't the most well-animated thing in the world. I appreciate how it's closer to how fights probably should've been from the beginning with Super's horrendous schedule. While they still don't feel quite as dynamic as they were in the old shows, the looping punch/kick ...

Re: Super Animation Catalogue 2.0 - Episode 86
I didn't mean it to sound like that, sorry, I was just saying it's possible that he personally chose to come back to the series and he picked a bad time because episode 81 was troubled and reaching its deadline so they threw him on that, that's all I meant. It's no problem, I'm simply trying to say...

Re: Super Animation Catalogue 2.0 - Episode 86
Huh? I never said anything about him being around the studio or anything, I just said it seemed like he chose to come back to series and the time he picked was when a troubled episode was in its final days so they put him on that. You pretty much just said what I said. EDIT: Wait, who's Huang? Didn...

Re: Super Animation Catalogue 2.0 - Episode 86
Since this was the first episode he was credited to work on since he returned the the series I have to wonder if this was simply a case of him coming back to the series and them going "Hey, help us correct some stuff for this episode that has to be done in a few days." Not really a defens...

Re: What's the most bizarre thing to ever happen in the franchise?
Goku's Fire Brigade.
A world where Goku's a responsible, level-headed firefighter, Muten Roshi doesn't eye up any women, and Bulma is a random girl who lives alone in an apartment with a pet cat named Tama.

Re: Super Animation Catalogue 2.0 - Episode 84
I mentioned this over on Twitter but I figured I'd post about it here since it's kinda interesting. So, after having a conversation with a user named osama (I believe he's been brought up here a few times recently), it seems as though the person who storyboarded episode 86 might actually be working ...

Re: Thoughts on Super Saiyan Hair becoming more refined as the series progressed?
I've always preferred the flowy hair of earlier Super Saiyan drawings. It doesn't feel overly stiff and it looks really nice and natural in motion. I hate to use my avatar as an example but I think it's a good one: [spoiler] http://i.imgur.com/7ObXwpJ.png [/spoiler] I particularly like how you can a...

Re: General Website Goofs/Errors
Not sure if it's just me, but the link to the Animation Process page isn't working on the Animation Styles Guide. Works fine if I use the link through the Production Guide though.

Re: Biggest retcon in DragonBall?
The fact that it changes your interpretation of events doesn't make something a retcon. If a writer skillfully writes a twist you don't see coming that changes the perception of previous scenes, that doesn't neccessarily make it a retcon. The cause of Planet Vegeta's destruction is a good example o...

Re: Dragon Ball: Anime or Manga?
Manga all the way. The anime is so strong in many regards, but the pacing really hurts it in some places. Doesn't help that I find Kai to be a bit of a lesser product as a whole. I mostly really enjoy Toriyama's superb panel work. He plays with the "camera" in fantastic way and combat flow...

Re: Biggest retcon in DragonBall?
Future Trunks hair being blue. It's the definition of a retcon, everything else I saw mentioned aren't retcons, especially Goku being an alien which was a reveal that didn't contradict anything. I don't even consider the potara thing a retcon because we never had a true explanation as to why Vegett...

Re: Sumitomo's work on the Universal Survival Arc
While I still can't say that his music is great, I at least appreciate that he seems to be making more of an effort to add some jazzy tunes into the mix. He at least has the right idea, even if the results could still be better.

Re: Does making Goku less responsible for this arc hurt it?
While I was initially bummed that the Daishinkan's comments about the lower tier universes seemed to take some of the blame away from Goku, I like how Goku is still going to be responsible for the tournament continuing if episode spoilers hold up. Now there's potential to keep Goku as the bad guy wh...

Re: Are Super's endings too much of the same?
As someone who definitely enjoys Fullmetal Alchemist and that song, I personally don't think an ending like "Let it Out" really meshes with the universe. That doesn't mean we haven't had arguably unfitting ending themes in the past. After all, I don't even think "Yoka Yoka Dance,"...
