Re: When will Nozawa and Horikawa be replaced?

Voice actors that is something I don't complain. I don't have any problem with Nozawa and Horikawa. I hope their health stays great and can continue being voice actors. As for health declining in their 30s, I can safely say that isn't true at all. Yeah, I mean... I get that aging is highly variable...

Re: When will Nozawa and Horikawa be replaced?

Congratulations, you're in an oddly decent place. Not everyone is so lucky! A lot of people in their thirties do, in fact, have a noticeable change in their health and stamina compared to their twenties. A lot of people in their sixties and seventies do, in fact, have different voices—especially wh...

Re: When will Nozawa and Horikawa be replaced?

You know, people say they their performances are so compromised, as if they're so much harder to listen to than in the original run. And I find that to be greatly exaggerated. I'm not familiar with their performances specifically, but I wouldn't be surprised if people exaggerate the severity of the...

Re: When will Nozawa and Horikawa be replaced?

They wont be replaced until they literally cant voice act anymore. Not until YOU decide you stopped liking their performances. I didnt want to be mean but these threads are constant and in poor taste. I agree. And why does Kanzenshuu bring up Horikawa so much? At least with Nozawa there's a legitim...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

An anime being 20 episodes is pretty much entirely unheard of. Almost all anime nowadays are either 12-13 episodes, or 24-26 (with the occasional show that's 10, usually in such small amounts per year that you could count them on one hand). It's probably 26.

Re: I realized a horrible thing. If Toriyama dies or retires Dragon Ball AF will be a thing

68 is a bit premature to say that he has high odds of dying soon. He could easily have 20 or more years left. But retirement, sure, he might do that soon - he doesn't seem like the highly ambitious, married to the job type.

Re: Dragon Ball and the "It gets good in about 85% of the way!" mentality

The most common perspective amongst the One Piece fandom is that you should wait until Arlong Park and then drop it if you don't enjoy it. That arc begins at episode 30. It's not common for people to suggest waiting any longer than that, even if it happens occasionally (I remember the incident Kunza...

Re: Members: How old are you?

24 when the thread started, 36 now. I guess this is where I'm supposed to say that I'm so ancient or whatever, but I don't really see any need to larp as an old person even though everyone else above 25 does for whatever reason.

Re: Is original Dragon Ball really that unpopular?

I am a Dragon Ball fan since 90s and this is the first time I read Original Dragon Ball is unpopular. In Japan, Dragon Ball wasn't popular at the beggining, when the manga started in Shonen Jump, but became popular in the first Tenkaichi Budokai. Toriyama and Torishima remembered that contests were...

Re: What if Masako Nozawa dies? (God forbid)

The role of Bulma has already had to be replaced as a result of her original voice actress, Hiromi Tsuru tragically passing away at only age 57. A few more of the original voice actors such as the ones that voiced the roles of Roshi & Kaio-sama, sadly passed on due to old age and had to be repl...

Not Krillin, but some random child from Penguin Village. Obatchaman is hardly a random child. He's basically the Kuririn of Dr. Slump! The Caramel Man lineage would weep at such an insult. Dr. Mashirito didn't put such effort into building robots for his work to be dismissed like this! Oh shit... :...

The anti-LGBT stuff is the same deal. General Blue is Gay. But he basically labeled a weirdo in the series. He also implied in the Anime I think to be a pedophile for Krillin. Not Krillin, but some random child from Penguin Village. The English dub (which was my original exposure to Dragon Ball; I ...

Re: Dead Yamcha statue

I wonder what people who don't know Dragon Ball (maybe aren't even anime fans in general) might think of it. Might just assume it's a random statue of a drunk or sleeping guy.

Re: Why exactly is everyone saying that GT has good ideas all the time?

I like the Shadow Dragon arc well enough, but I fully agree with SupremeKai that appeal to nature is an absolute dogshit argument. "Going against nature is wrong! I can't actually cite any objective problems that it causes, and going against nature doesn't do much of anything besides alleviate ...

Re: The OG Toei Dragon Ball movie trilogy

I don't really care about the first movie but the second and third are great. The second's tiny cast (limited to the Pilaf cast plus Krillin), 80s feeling, and unique setting all make for a good movie, and the third movie is nice for being one of the exceedingly few times in the entire franchise tha...

Re: Was it ever explained away why no one in trunks time in the afterlife help out at all?

2. They didn't want too. They accepted that they lost the battle and there's not much that they can do. Sometimes death is death. This wouldn't be very good moral logic (though I guess it would be somewhat consistent with Goku's "The dead shouldn't interfere" nonsense from the Buu arc). T...

Gohan would like Grandpa Gohan more. Pretty much anyone would like Grandpa Gohan more, unless you're more similar in nature to Bardock and would find Grandpa Gohan too sunny and annoying. I'm sure Gohan would find Bardock to be an interesting novelty, but that's about it - he'd care far more about G...
