Re: Would you prefer replacing the VAs or having AI voices of them?
Uncle Iroh's replacement actor was not good. His voice was grating and he tried far to hard to replicate Mako instead of just playing to her own strengths. I mean... Greg Baldwin's entire purpose was to replicate Mako. He was his understudy. We'll have to agree to disagree about the quality of his ...

Re: Goku Staying Dead Was Perfect
I agree with the OP. We actually see some maturation of Goku through the Cell saga and even a little into the Buu saga, realising that he won't be around forever and that there always needs to be someone around strong enough to protect Earth. He might go about it in a naive way, peppered with his ow...

Re: Would you prefer replacing the VAs or having AI voices of them?
God, voice doubles would be awful. Just let a new actor do their own thing, for the love of goodness. Why? For a lot of people, a certain voice IS the character. If it changes, it can really take you out of the show. A perfect example of it being done well is Uncle Iroh from Avatar: The Last Airben...

Human voices, but have them replicate the original VA as close as possible.

Re: Is Post EoZ Content "Forbidden" Because of GT &/or EoZ serving as Toriyama's official epilogue?
Super Hero is only a few years (?) out from EoZ. I dont think it would be difficult to move past it, but I would hope it would continue on from after EoZ immediately instead of a time skip.

Re: Is anime Kid Buu stronger than Vegito?
"Different level" doesn't have to refer to strength. Kid Buu fights unpredictably and maliciously with basically no consideration for his own safety. No other form of Buu is like that.

Re: Does Dragon Ball rely too much on interviews for lore?
Theres no problem with it. I'm just addressing the question as asked. Yes a lot of lore is discovered outside of the anime/manga. Does it have a noticeable impact on story? No. In fact I kind of like it that way. Those who are die hard fans like us get interesting little nuggets about the universe (...

Re: Does Dragon Ball rely too much on interviews for lore?
The question asked was not "do you like DB lore" but "does DB rely on interviews for lore" and to an extent it does. they're not especially important things, but 16 being based on Geros son, 19 based on one of his sons toys, a clearer understanding of what Gohan Beast is as a tra...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
I don't want to start a big argument about this, but I've never seen this question answered conclusively: Was Super Perfect Cell stronger than SSJ2 Gohan during their Kamehameha battle? Was Vegeta's attack enough of a diversion to let Cell drop his guard, which Gohan capitalised on and overwhelmed h...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
BTW I have never EVER gotten the "it takes too long" filler complaints. It depends. For the Frieza fight, especially the original Z run, there are a lot of episodes where the plot doesn't move at all, or it's filled with long stills of Goku and Frieza staring at each other where not a lot...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"
Rewatched this the other day, it's actually better than I remembered it at the movies. I knew some of the spoilers for the film at my first viewing, and I was disappointed that Cell's 'return' was a Kaiju monster that wasn't the original Cell (Cell being my favourite villain) but having had time to ...

Re: Frieza and Cell's new GT forms
The 90s were a different time, huh? I like that Cell redesign. Frieza's is a bit henchman-y. I wonder if that was an official Toei production?

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Filler isn't inherently bad, it's just bad filler that's bad. The Fake Namek episodes were drivel, but the Heavenly Tournament episodes were enjoyable. Absolutely. The Fake Namek/Frieza vs Goku filler eps are so painful (I have trouble watching the Frieza fight even in Kai, it still drags too long)...

Re: Is anime Kid Buu stronger than Vegito?
No. Vegito was stronger than Buuhan, who had Gohan, Trunks, Goten and Piccolo absorbed and using their power. Kid Buu loses all of that strength, so he's weaker than Buuhan.

Re: Top 5 DB Movies
1. DBS: Super Hero - loved that the focus was on Piccolo, one of my favourite characters, and brought his power up to relevancy again (personally love the Orange Piccolo design). The CG style translated better than I thought it would, too. Just an overall breath of fresh air. 2. DBS: Broly - amazing...

Re: SSB Evolved's appearance
I think they would probably change it to some degree, yeah. My guess would be keeping the irises and the lighter blue hair/aura, but probably reducing the muscle mass.

Re: "Dragon Ball Z: The History of Trunks" turns 30
A rare time when the anime does it better than the manga. I think having Trunks going SSj after Gohan does have a lot of emotional to the story. Absolutely. I read the manga version for the first time recently and went 'really? That was it?' The TV special definitely takes the core of that good ide...

I was lucky enough to pull both Ultimate Gohan and Power Awakened Piccolo.

Now saving for whatever the next interesting ch...

Re: Are you done with Dragon Ball?
Not yet! I have been champing at the bit for the DBS:Super Hero DVD release so I can watch it again (saw it in August, not out on DVD until April?! I would've seen it a second time at the movies if I knew the wait would be this long). While it's tough to say DBS is as good as DBZ, they still create ...
