Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.

This is insane. Also, the outpouring of love and reverence for this great man reminds me of something. A little under a decade ago now, when Kale was first introduced, I made a post asking how everyone feels about Super pulling from past concepts for modern material. Seems okay enough, right? Well,...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 101 - Official Discussion Thread

I enjoyed the chapter but what happened to Toyotaro’s art. The panelling in this is dire. So stilted an uninspired.

Re: Episode #0508 (24 December 2023)

A great episode - I'll admit when I viewed the trailer I didn't really put much thought into the images displayed on the screen up through the Boo arc having any baring on where this takes place chronlogicallly. I was honestly pretty sceptical of drawing any conclusions from it but after hearing the...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 97 - Official Discussion Thread

I did not expect to enjoy this retelling as much as I have. I am far from a fan of Toyo's art but man as he hit his stride these last few chapters, with some flat out gorgeous illustrations and fun panelling.

Re: Dragon Ball - Finally Fully Color Corrected

Glad to hear it. If you don't mind me asking, what is the resolution of that OLED screen? It's an LG C2 so 4k. So far I've only watched a few episodes via Infuse on my Apple TV 4K and it looks great - but there's no support for anything like spline36 sadly. Infuse uses a modified lanczos scaler it ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 90 - Official Discussion Thread

I’ve enjoyed this mini arc but my enthusiasm has waned now that we’re going into movie territory. My hopes for the next chapter are that it gives us a different perspective on the opening events of the film. I want to see things from Dr Hedo’s perspective - flesh out the red ribbon army a bit, Hedo’...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 88 - Official Discussion Thread

Great chapter, enjoyed the focus on Goten and Trunks.

My only complaint really is this has to work as a prequel to Super Hero (where they don't really do anything) rather than it being an independent story that can stand on its own.

Re: Best way to watch R4 Saga of Goku on CRT tv in the US?

The issue for you is whether your NTSC CRT accepts a 50hz PAL signal as the subcarrier frequency is different. Give it a test if you haven't already. PAL CRTs since the late 90s have accepted 50/60hz PAL/NTSC but I have no idea if it works in the reverse. Otherwise you could try to hunt down a profe...

Nope, the point of language isn't simply to communicate, but of cognition. Oh! Something else you’ve made up on your own to lecture us about. You’re on a roll here mate!

Re: What do you think are some of the worst retcons in the series?

I don't care if I'm the only person. Having large numbers agree doesn't make it correct. It's ridiculous to consider them reveals because the whole point of the definition was to make it distinct. Unfortunately the entire point of language is that we have a collection of meaningful units, and those...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Movie #2: "Super Hero" Coming 2022! (Toriyama Scripting!)

That little teaser pretty much tips the scales that this will be a CG feature, or at the very least they will lean on it heavily.

How bitterly disappointing.

Also the baked shading in his gi looks atrocious, when the camera rotates around him it just looks so lifeless.

Re: So its been many years, are alternate hair colors for Super Saiyan transformations a good or bad idea

I like Super Saiyan God.

I think Blue is a stupid palette swap that should have disappeared a long time ago.
