Re: Dragon Ball canon (+ re-edits/re-adaptations)
I do not know the cost of a reworked series but it would surely cost far less than doing straight up a new one. And with that said if the marketing is smart it could be even released as netflix series arc after arc like every 2 month. Most fans would watch it i belive. Marketing words like "ca...

Re: Dragon Ball canon (+ re-edits/re-adaptations)
The question you should be asking is WHY they would want to do this. How can they make money off this proposed series of yours?

Re: Dragon Ball canon (+ re-edits/re-adaptations)
What a lot of western anime viewers struggle somewhat with getting is that anime series are for the most part not intended to be a standalone product. They're meant to air on TV to drum up interest in the brand as a whole, which is centered around the actual source material. In the case of Dragon Ba...

Re: What Would You Do If You Were Transported Into The DB Universe?
Well if you know things are going to work out if you DON'T interfere, it's probably a bad idea to do so.
Invest hard in Capsule Corp stocks, I guess.

Re: If the Z Fighters lived normal lives
That, and when the person that seems to struggle the most with understanding the characters is also the person that skipped huge parts of the story, it's pretty logical to see a connection there.

Re: So, like, Roshi
He’s supposed to be a goofy subversion of the wise old sage archetype. He’s a skilled martial artist and mentor who is capable of giving good advice, but he’s also an extremely horny old man who lives in a fairly modern house that just happens to be on an island in the middle of nowhere. Yep. It's ...

Re: How do you Feel About the Pacing of each Show?
The thing about the pacing in the Freeza+ parts of the series is that the main plots are so long and interconnected there's very few places for the anime adaptation to take a break and do its own thing for a couple episodes without it just feeling like the ongoing story slowed down to a crawl. Espec...

Re: Kazuki Takahashi (YuGiOh creator) was a fan of Dragon Ball
After Takahashi ended his original manga, Konami started commissioning sequel series with original plots ("GX" and on) so they could still have an anime promoting the card game on TV. They were made purely for that purpose, acting like they weren't is like trying to pretend the Super Drago...

Re: Kazuki Takahashi (YuGiOh creator) was a fan of Dragon Ball
Kaiba was clearly inspired by Vegeta. They have nothing in common other than the vague rival archetype Yes, especially considering Kaiba isn't that much of an asshole in the Japanese version and the manga. Just a determined hard-worker. He built an entire amusement park and hired professional soldi...

If nothing else, this thread is at least demonstrating why it's a good idea to actually watch/read the series you're trying to discuss.

Re: Interesting line from Piccolo about Goku in the dub; Does Goku really crave mayhem?
feels like it was done simply because Funi thought it sounded better than the original line. Yeah, this seems like a typical case of Funimation punching up the dialogue to make it sound funnier or, in this case edgier. I doubt they thought that fans like us would look so much into it, they probably...

Re: Interesting line from Piccolo about Goku in the dub; Does Goku really crave mayhem?
I think you should watch the original instead of trying to make weird guesses about what may or may not have been said there based on comparing several bad dubs. This line seems to be a rewrite-heavy "localization" of 悟飯はきさまのように闘いは好きじゃないんだ ("Gohan doesn't like fighting, like you do&q...

Re: Interesting line from Piccolo about Goku in the dub; Does Goku really crave mayhem?
I know Japanese, I know what was said, and I was explaining what was said to someone that specifically said they didn't know, but was making (wrong) assumptions based on what some other dub mistranslated it as. Then you came in out of nowhere and started derailing the thread with all kinds of bizarr...

Re: Interesting line from Piccolo about Goku in the dub; Does Goku really crave mayhem?
I know what the implication is in the original, and so does 90sDBZ , he was saying he doesn't think it was said in the Japanese version, and that's fair because we don't know what the exact words being said in Japanese are. The closest approximation we have is how Steve Simmons translated the lines...
