Alex Kidd started out as a Dragon Ball game. That's the closest thing possible. I think it's good that they stick to video game characters. It was already pretty odd having Snake and Cloud in Smash. They're much more associated with p´Playstation. Guys like Mega Man or Ryo are fine though. Maybe get...

I try to come up with things I like about Super but all I can think of is that one time where an evil version of the main character showed up. That's a pretty overused cliche to begin with, and something the third Dragon Ball Z movie pulled off way better in my opinion. With the Goku Black arc I can...

Was it odd getting the Funi in-house dub for about 55 episodes and then switching back to the Ocean cast? (That is correct right I think?) I never noticed it to be honest. It didn't take me long to figure out that English DBZ was a highly altered product. So I wasn't really paying attention to the ...

Looks like he's fighting Sun Wukong.

Dragon Ball Pros: Best overall series in terms of story progression, pacing and quality of animation. Even the worst episodes still look okay. Also the anime original content blends in so well with the main series that you might not even recognize it as such if you're unfamiliar with the manga. I ca...

I'm probably in the minority here, but DBZ episode 1 is a vastly superior introduction for Gohan compared to the manga. We actually get to know him a bit before the main plot kicks in. Him getting lost in the wilderness and his run in with the tiger from the very first episode really show just how d...

Especially when you consider that within the timeframe of the series, most of it takes place on a single day.

June 12 1990. The day WSJ issue 28 came out. The chapter was 278: "Son Gohan Dies?!" It's the chapter where Freeza tries to get his wish granted but doesn't know how to use the Dragon balls. Reacoom breaks Gohans neck. And on the final panel, Goku's ship finally lands on Namek. The Anime d...

The first time I heard Goku's original voice in a video game, it made me think of Liu Kang from Mortal Kombat. I thought it's probably the norm that the Asian main character always has a high pitch voice like Bruce Lee whenever he attacks. I definitely didn't associate his voice as female.

Advanced Adventure too. But none of these games made massive waves like FighterZ. It's considered on of the big titles of 2018. It stole MvC's thunder. Back in 2001 who would have thought that a DBZ game could ever do that?

This is the first time a Dragon Ball game transcends its own fandom. People who have zero familiarity or attachment to the franchise are excited for it. I know one of my Twitter followers who's got a low opinion of DBZ, and even he's hyped for this game! Such a phenomenon doesn't happen unless the g...

The premise of DBZ 2 on Famicom is that only Piccolo died in the fight against the Saiyajin, so Yamucha, Tenshinhan and Chaozu all pack their and join Gohan and Kuririn. It is a pretty cool premise. Earths strongest Wulin all traveling together to the far away homeworld of the their former adversary...

I think it's great. It looks like an actual transformation instead of just spikier hair or a color swap.

Imagine what would happen if Disney ran anything Toriyama related through their AI movie algorithm.

If I remember correctly Funi's GT season sets also sold better than Og DB ones.

I remember someone from Funimation (I think it was Chris Sabat but I'm not sure) saying the same thing in regards to the Level sets back in 2011. Maybe Justin Cook got the stories mixed up, since that claim would make a lot more sense that way. The levels kept the original aspect ratio and seemed to...

Mai is a playable character. This game was way ahead of the curve.

I'd ask him what his original idea for the Artificial Human arc was. And in what direction the story would have gone with No.19 and 20 as the villains.

The few times people asked me about Dragon ball, I just guided them to the manga. One title. 42 volumes that's it. Simple and clean. And if they don't want to read comics but watch it instead, I'll tell them that "Dragon Ball" and "Dragon ball Z" are the two shows that adapt the ...

He was a great artist. I don't like his current work and art style to be honest. In terms of story telling, he's at his best when he works with an editor who's not afraid to creatively challenge him.
