Re: Should Dragon Ball still air on TV in the 2020s and beyond?

God is this thread tailor made for ME! And yes it should. Not just on Toonami which is on its last gasp but some sort of Broadcast Diginet aimed at a nostalgic crowd. Those are actually growing and their viewers increase by the year, and there is plenty of viewers who want to watch fun stuff with t...

Re: 10 Years of Dragon Ball (Z) Kai (2009-2019)

13 year olds born in 2009 are now old enough to join the forums. Someone was giving birth somewhere while I was posting on the forums back in 2009. I was 13 at the time (2010) and Kai was really my way back into the franchise after only getting the video games for a few years (my mom had banned me ...

Re: Why is the Nicktoons Kai era so remembered...

I meant to reply to this back when the topic was hot, so my bad for the lateness, but I think I can answer this question. I turn 26 in May, which is 13 years after Kai debuted on Nicktoons and home released back in May 2010 (I was 13 then). Since I was born in 1997, which is designated as the first ...

Re: A new Budokai Tenkaichi has been announced

Although I'm REALLY happy for BT4, I'm kind of hoping the previous BT games get remastered and re-released on PS5. And honestly, they can do the same thing the Budokai HD Collection did and axe 1 game. I'd get rid of Tenkaichi 1 since it's the weakest of the trilogy and has Kenji Yamamoto's tracks i...

Re: A new Budokai Tenkaichi has been announced

Another feature I want in this game is bigger and more elaborate environments. Imagine fighting your opponent in a deep forest or a hidden cave, all the while the lighting reflects the change in scenery.

Also, I want the Z Item Fusion feature back because it was a unique way to unlock characters.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Crunchyroll Home Release Thread

So, I received my copy of Super Hero and my thoughts haven't changed. It's such a lackluster and lazy release from Crunchyroll that makes me long for the "good 'ol Funimation days" of home releases. You'd think a movie that beat Idris freakin' Elba at the box office would be worth a better...

Re: One Piece Episode 590 (The One Piece x Toriko x Dragon Ball Z Crossover) to Air on Toonami on March 4

I think we don't know until it is dubbed in another language. If it is dubbed into Spanish and Portuguese, both dubbed by Toei, then that would confirm that it was Toei who ordered the dub and not Crunchyroll. Honestly, I'm surprised this special didn't get dubbed into other languages before the U....

Re: A new Budokai Tenkaichi has been announced

Yup, I assume they did that so that you and your opponent have distance from each other at the start, since in the cutscenes the two characters stay close. Okay, that kind of makes sense (even though Tenkaichi 2 and 3 never did that). On another note, I remember that when Tenkaichi 1 described Jane...

Re: A new Budokai Tenkaichi has been announced

So, out of curiosity, I decided to go back and see how the first Sparking/Budokai Tenkaichi's story mode was set up and they EXTENSIVELY dragged it out. The Saiyan Saga had fights like Yamcha vs. Krillin/Krillin vs. Yamcha/Tien vs. Chiaotzu/Chiaotzu vs. Tien/Yamcha vs. Saibamen/Tien vs. Saibaman. He...

Re: A new Budokai Tenkaichi has been announced

I never understood why Rild and Legic never were in video games. Same, but add Oceanus Shenron. Since Nuova Shenron has been in the video games, even though Omega Shenron has his abilities, there's no reason to leave out Oceanus (and honestly all of other Shadow Dragons since it's Budokai Tenkaichi...

Re: One Piece Episode 590 (The One Piece x Toriko x Dragon Ball Z Crossover) to Air on Toonami on March 4

Well, my comment could very well be the last on this topic, so I'll try to make it count. If this episode ever gets released on home media (hopefully including the other specials dubbed finally?), everyone needs to support the hell out of it. I might even buy two copies just to show Crunchymation th...

Re: A new Budokai Tenkaichi has been announced

Y'know, ever since BT4 was announced, I've been seeing a lot of people suddenly advocating for GT to be included in the video games again. As a GT fan, it's just funny how there's suddenly a "I want all the characters, GT included!" mentality since the Sparking/Budokai Tenkaichi games are ...

Re: A new Budokai Tenkaichi has been announced

Any guesses on what they'll call the game? I feel like they'll drop the 'Z' from the title. I'm predicting either Dragon Ball: Budokai Tenkaichi 4 or Dragon Ball Super: Budokai Tenkaichi. I think the roster is my only concern for the game. Tenkaichi 3 had 161 characters. Judging by the visuals from...

Yes. Thanks. Please. Back to the fucking roots. I cannot stand one more second faking enthusiasm and pretending to enjoy that god awful series called Xenoverse.

Re: One Piece Episode 590 (The One Piece x Toriko x Dragon Ball Z Crossover) to Air on Toonami on March 4

Damn. No one had any thoughts on the special. Well, I guess it wasn't much anyway besides a quick excuse for a team-up. And not dubbing the Toriko half of the special made this feel a little empty. I mean, we didn't even get to see the exchange between Vegeta, Zoro, and Zebra dubbed, which sucked. A...

Re: A new Budokai Tenkaichi has been announced

WOW. MIND BLOWN! I grew up playing the Budokai Tenkaichi games, starting with the first game back in '05 when I was 8, and so on with the sequels. This is EXACTLY the kind of thing Bandai needed to announce to get hype back in Dragon Ball games. For those of you younger fans who grew up on Xenoverse...

Toei has posted a preview clip of the special for anyone interested. Sounds like they got Ian Sinclair back to do Toriko, which makes sense since he's local and plays Brook (don't remember if Brook has any speaking lines in this special, but the point remains). There's also this promo for the cross...

Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" Dub Turns 13; Still Unreleased

So, if this dub ever sees the light of day (which is almost pointless now given how irrelevant Kai is now, it already having an English dub, and how long ago it's been), would it be like GT Blue Water and only be broadcast on TV or would we get home releases for it? As someone who LOVES Kai and has ...
