Re: Episode #0494 (27 November 2022)

I think this arc is alright. Not perfect, I prefer the Moro arc a bit more. Positives: 1. Goku and Vegeta feeling a bit more fleshed out which adds to their character instead of feeling repeated in previous Super arcs. 2. This helps make Minus/Broly Bardock feel more fleshed out with the Bardock fla...

Re: The Cell Arc Progression

There werre only two things that bugged me about this arc.

1. Trunks originally saying 19 and 20 (but that's hindsight with the editors not liking the original designs.)

2. Cell revealing everything at once. Be nice if we got more info as time went on.

Re: Why is Kai disliked a lot/ not as popular?

I am mixed on Kai. On one hand, it was just recycled footage to tell the story in more of a tight focus. I almost prefered newer animation but as many pointed out, Super gives a reason it may not be great. The one thing I think it did well with was the dub. While some parts I think are still mixed. ...

It's been 15 years since we got a translated chapter of Neko Majin. Does the release of the Manga Theater give hope we will get a Neko Majin full release? P.S. Sorry if this was brought up before.

Re: Sorrow and Melancholy

Not sure if it really counts a sorrow but one of the more serious scenes that stuck out to me is Tien confronting Roshi while Goku was fighting Krllin. The sunset , the music, and choreography is beautiful. Roshi telling him he does not have to worry about the next gen and Tien isn't cut out to be e...

Re: Anyone else find the RRA arc hard to rewatch?

I've grown to appreciate the arc more when I grew older. Silver is cool and the one shot is hilarious. The muscle tower is still meh but Murasaki and Android 8 are still a delight. From the General Blue stuff onwards I love it. I still personally think Blue saved the arc as he was a fun villain.

Re: Which Part Of Dragon Ball Is BETTER: The Majin Buu Saga OR The Entirety Of Dragon Ball GT?

I prefer Baby as a villain over Super Buu and Kid Buu. Baby had a lot more going for him. Now Fat Buu was a lot more fun and had creative use of his powers while causing mass destruction.

I would say I prefer the Buu arc over GT as a whole but Baby Arc is pretty entertaining.

Re: Opinions on the original Funi Dragon Ball dub

I personally don't mind the DB dub. Far from perfect but I think it's fine. The performances are leagues better then what season 3 and part of season 4 of their original DBZ dub. The only real thing that bugs me was a random plotline that they added that went freaking no where. As a kid, watching Ge...

Any chance the Heroes manga will be licensed by Viz?

Not sure if this has been brought up yet has there been any word on why Viz hasn't localized this manga yet? Is it because it is tied into the Heroes games which never made an impact here?

Re: The feeling of the Super manga compared to the original DB manga

I would have prefered two options the manga should have started with the Universe 6 tournament or When they released the tankobon, the Revival of F chapters Toyotaro did should have been included with an extra chapter to complete the arc. Then do three or four chapters of the Broly movie. It feels s...

Re: Which character and/or plotline in the franchise is the biggest waste of potential?

As much as I love the cell arc and Cell as a villain, I wish Toriyama kept the mystery up a tad bit longer instead of him monologuing his plan to Piccolo.

Re: Appreciating the Little Things

One of my favorite fillers is Goku befriending a Fox that wanted to change his ways and become a teacher. The filler in one episode showed one of DB's main themes which is redemption. Everyone deserves a second chance. Its simple but I love it. Unlike other filler characters with the exception of Pi...

Re: Best way to watch the English Dub for the first time?

How I think you watch the series dubbed. The OG Dragon Ball first. I personally think it is a fine dub. Not perfect but overall a better start with Funi's in house then DBZ Season 3 did. Then watch DBZ Kai Dubbed. As much as I like the original series dubbed (minus season 3), Kai is when the actors ...

Re: Kakarot vs Kakarotto - The Vegerot/Vegetto(ito) effect

When I first watched it on Toonami back in 2002, I thought it was a weird way for combinding Vegeta and Goku. I thought it should have been spelled Vegetu instead of Vegetto. Ah to be young again. As I started to research more of the series after it ended its toonami run, I found out Kakarot was act...

Re: Most accurate Viz release of the manga?

I feel like the single releases are the best bet. I have some of the first printings from almost 15 to 16 years ago where they were less cencored.

I also would say full colored, but Viz apparently scrapped that after Freeza.

Re: Wow. The GT OST.

For all of GT faults, the music isn't one of them. It really does evoke early dragon ball. Which makes sense since that's what they were trying to go for early in GT.

Re: What would a reboot have to do in order to comply to today's standards?

If a reboot does ever happen, I kind of want them to mix things up. Like have Yamcha make it to at least the semi finals in one of the tournaments. Maybe have Tien survive the Saiyan assault and he accompanies the others to Namek. I know these are far fetched, but I like it when reboots change thing...
