Re: Goku ranked Numero Uno idiot hero
That's cool I think. Although I think he'd share that position with the original Kinnikuman, Suguru Kinniku. I mean, yeah, Suguru is definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed (and can be a tad cowardly at times). But he more than makes up for it with heart. Gotta love the whole core team of Just...

Re: Are there other shonen you acknowledge as better written than Dragon Ball?
Speaking of Kinnikuman, there's a series that really kept evolving as it went on. Had we just left off with Kinnikuman's 36 volumes vs Dragon Ball's 42 volumes, I'd probably end up favoring Dragon Ball, despite feeling Kinnikuman was getting better over time to its end, while Dragon Ball's end was a...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
Ah yes, Freeza's big crime boss rival, Heeters. He even says in Viz's translation that "Freeza's gonna ice the guy for us."
I love the puns of this series, lol.
Puns aside, I am intrigued by how Granolah's quest is going to go. I hope he stays a compelling antagonist.

Re: Is InuYasha A Shojo Dragon Ball?
Sailor Moon has more in common with Dragon Ball than Inuyasha and even calling that "Shoujo Dragon Ball" is a stretch. It's way closer to a Shoujo Saint Seiya. But yeah, Inuyasha is 100% a Shonen series. Look at Osamu Tezuka, he wrote several Shoujo works during his life, like Princess Kn...

Re: Team Four Star's influence on Dragon Ball's revival
Was DBZA an internet success? Yes. But all it did was serve as an extra bit of optional content that fans could absorb and use the comedy outside of it. But does DBZ's fame owe anything to DBZA? Hell no. TFS would love to think so, as would the most diehard DBZA fans, but DBZ would have carried on ...

Re: DBZ Got Lucky...

Re: MistareFusion's Dragon Ball Dissection! (Updated 7/1/19!)
Talking about 16's death in part 16 does feel appropriate. Also, jeez, I had almost forgotten how long this whole arc is until I noticed that number. I wonder how often inconsistent moments in the arc were just down to Toriyama having forgotten something he did in the nearly two years it took to get...

Re: Serious Dragon Ball Questions For Fans About The Voice of Goku
It would sadden me if either Masako Nozawa or Sean Schemmel stopped voicing Goku, but I'd keep watching. That said, I'd hope it'd be a replacement of necessity, not one of "Oh hey, we got this celebrity voice!" or what have you. No, the series would not end of Nozawa could no longer voice ...

Re: How could a new movie be more successful than DBS: Broly?
The Broli movie itself probably could have sold more tickets in the US if it had a wider, longer running release. That's something worth considering once you get another good movie going.

"It's not a particularly accurate dub like DBZ's"? It's been a while since I've seen that dub, but I'm sure it was more accurate than DBZ's dub, even if it unnecessarily punched up the scripts, but not to the same extent as DBZ's. I didn't mean to imply that it was AS inaccurate, just tha...

Another FUNimation dub that's often pointed to as "one of their best" and "a huge improvement over their DBZ dub'" is Yu Yu Hakusho. And that's certainly a dub that, while indeed LIGHTYEARS better than virtually anything they've ever done with DB in any capacity (which itself is...

I don't think that's what they're saying. The previous time he was summoned he could have been sent away, leaving only one wish.Diccolo-420 wrote:Except nobody told shenron to go away, he left right after granting one wish, and that's also a huge stretch in logic that's just bad writing.

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
That´s my point. By the time Super started the DBM story was already going forward. To make it fit they would have to arbitrarily add it while the other Universes are already fighting. Plus with the exception of Beerus and Whis (who would be too OP to be allowed to fight) there is really no reason ...

Worth a note, I checked to see if there was any censorship, and I got through to check the infamous Invisible Man fight...it's definitely not uncensored.

I would especially love a redub with the same care and effort that Kai got, with all of the original music, accurate scripting, better acting, etc. Would make me quite happy.

For me, by far the two most important things are that: 1.

They don't make Goku sent to Earth because he loves him, but they keep t...
