Re: Overrated and Underrated voice actors

I dont want to be mean but this is a terrible take. The only reason Linda Young's Freeza comes across as effortless is because she literally didnt put any effort. I know the scripts for Kai are needlessly wordy and verbose but its pretty telling as soon as actual effort was required she immediately...

Re: Would you feel confident in the series if it were left in Toyotarou's hands?

After Super Toriyama lost his status as this infallible manga god in my view to the point where I am not particularly concerned with how much worse things can get given some of the decisions made to date. In some ways the damage was already done by Toriyama's own hand so his successor at least does ...

Re: The All-Purpose "What-If " Thread

Always wondered what an interaction between Gero and Cell would look like. Cell seemed to be proud to be the greatest creation of the great Dr. Gero but at the same time this always seemed to be more self-aggrandizing than out of a genuine reverence for his creator. I think we would get something di...

Re: Overrated and Underrated voice actors

For me. and I am probably going to eat a ton of flak for this, but Sabat's original Vegeta (yes, the Drummond impersonation) gets way too much hate for what it is. I like this Vegeta both ironically (I mean just listen to it) but also unironically. It does actually suit the kind of character Vegeta ...

Re: What is the secret to the series' longevity?

I'll tell you what it is for me: nostalgia. I think to some extent nostalgia will always be a factor and this goes really for all fans who grew up on a version of Dragon Ball, whether dubbed or original language. There just isn't any getting around that however in my view there has to be more than ...

Re: People who genuinely argue the humor added in dubs "Improves the show"

I think dubs can stand on their own, as long as they are accepted for what they are and not what they aren't. A faithful dub is the ideal because while anything can be enjoyed for what it is, it's an added bonus if the viewer can talk to someone who watched the original version and for the fact the...
