Re: Toonami Rewind Block On Fridays.
Also, just wanted to bring up how weird it is to see that Adult Swim now starts at 5pm every day???? I haven't followed Cartoon Network in years so learning that is mind-blowing. I remember when Adult Swim starting at 9pm was such a a big deal and now it starts DURING THE DAY???? I think that confi...

Re: Kai is overdue for a new home release
I think we all know the biggest hurdle to a new release of Dragon Ball Kai... Crunchyroll can't use the Kenji Yamamoto score, so it's doomed to be inferior to the old Parts for more fans. As Cure Dragon 255 suggested though, there is a way around that, which would be a MASSIVE selling point for a n...

Kai is overdue for a new home release
Funimation/Crunchyroll have re-released DBZ MULTIPLE TIMES while ignoring the other series and even recently, Super got the steelbook set and double-season sets. Obviously, this has been discussed already, but something I find truly odd is that despite Kai being 14 years old now as far as the dub go...

Re: Did the dub of One Piece Episode 590 ever get released physically?
OMG IT'S MECHA 3000! AWESOME! Great to see you again bud! Hey, man! Good to see you again too (or read from you again). Always nice to see Dragon Ball still have a presence on TV, as discussed on your Toonami Rewind thread. Hopefully, episode 590 gets released physically, but if not, it just proves...

Re: Toonami Rewind Block On Fridays.
Honestly, this is awesome, if not also slightly irrelevant in 2024. As a 13 year old back in 2010, it sucked not to have Naruto Shippuden and Dragon Ball Z Kai airing on Cartoon Network together. Sure, we have them airing on Saturday night Adult Swim Toonami, but teen me would've LOVED for Kai and S...

Did the dub of One Piece Episode 590 ever get released physically?
I know it's on Hulu, but I'm a physical media guy and would love to own this because it could always get taken off streaming. And considering it is also a DBZ crossover, it'd be a shame if it just stayed streaming-only.

Toonami doing Kai marathon in honor of Toriyama
https://x.com/ToonHive/status/1767260662453903849?s=20 Pretty cool although some people wanted classic Z episodes. And also, I feel like dedicating all of Toonami to Dragon Ball would've been better with random episodes of Dragon Ball, Z, GT, Kai, and Super. But hey, it's better than nothing and pro...

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.
Nice to see that seemingly in light of the news, Wikipedia finally updated Toriyama's picture from him sitting kind of less dignified (not like that's an issue, though) like a giddy kid at the SJ American launch TO him in his late 20s smiling wide in a more dignified black and white photo similar to...

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.
Is it just me or did Stan Lee not even get this big of a reaction after his passing? I never thought Akira Toriyama's death would impact people more than the guy who helped create Spider-Man and revolutionize Marvel overall.

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.
I don't think its at all an exaggeration at this point to cite Toriyama as one of the single most influential and globally impactful Japanese Manga artists of all time. Top 5 without question, alongside Osamu Tezuka, Go Nagai, and Leiji Matsumoto. No doubt about that. Shotaro Ishinomori, Runiko Tak...

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.
I just want to say that seeing the world mourn Toriyama together is really beautiful. Toriyama and what he did with Dragon Ball (and his other works) really brought people together to the point where POLITICAL LEADERS (French president and probably more) are coming out and expressing grief and grati...

Dude, I feel you. I've been a very vocal supporter of this special and the Yo!

How would you introduce Dragon Ball to Gen Alpha?
As I've gotten older (turning 27 this year), I realize there are now kids born the year BoG (2013) and Super (2015) released/started who are now 11 and 9. There's a whole era of kids born AFTER Beerus, Whis, and all the new concepts were introduced. So, I got to thinking, how would I introduce kids ...

Underrated dub contributions
So, the dub is kind of like a hot topic on this forum (in many cases, for good reason). But I want to focus on positive things that have come from the dub. I have four in particular that come, specifically from Chris Sabat (two from Kai, two from Super). Kai #1. Redubbing "It's Over 9000!"...

Re: Dragon Ball 2024 Predictions
3. The manga might get a re-release from Viz to commemorate Dragon Ball's 40th anniversary, but it might be a basic re-release and not the Kanzenban releases I want. They might release a translated version of that 2016 30th anniversary book Japan got. Forgot to mention that I also don't think we'll...
