Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.

This past weekend was pretty rough. I found out at lunch on Friday and it made work a little difficult because if it were not for Dragon Ball, I wouldn't be in Japan today. I had actually decided to rewatch DB from the beginning after so many years earlier this week, and it was such strange timing t...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

Not sure if this is against the rules, but does anyone who owns the movie know where I can find an English subtitle file for it? I've seen the movie two times already, and while it's not that difficult to understand, I still would like to properly watch it now that I have the Blu-ray.

Re: Anime Rebranding. What will the future animes be named? Dragon Ball (??????)

Dragon Ball. Similar to other legacy sequels, the series will be set several years after pre-Z retconning everything from the Saiyan arc on. Goku being an alien will just be brushed off as a rumor. And Krillin will definitely have hair. In all seriousness, I think Super is here to stay. The new movi...

Not sure if it’s region locked but you can watch the first five minutes of the movie starting at 18:00 JT.

Probably for the same reason that Karin called him Kami-sama in the film.

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

I just got back from seeing this. I liked this movie a WHOLE lot better than the Broly one. The story was pretty decent (though nothing mind-blowing), the characterizations were great, and the new characters all really seemed to fit into the Dragon Ball universe with no problem. I really, really lo...

No theme song. If I remember correctly, they play a piece of BGM at the end that it is heard at different times in the movie.

Some things I saw while skimming through the theater pamphlet. There is an English translation for all the character names and the unlocked potential form is translated as “Power Awakening.” Has this always been the way to translate it? Nothing about Orange Piccolo and Cell Max. So the pamphlet stop...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

I mean, I'd focus more on the fact that it's literally Gohan Blanco from the Internet memes that were made in 2017-18, maybe Grand Priest aka El Grande Padre will be revealed as the final villain of Super after all. And with this, we now know that the Toei writers/Toriyama do know the most popular ...

I just watched the movie. I enjoyed it. It was a nice little story that shifted the focus from Goku for a change. It reminded me of the old films from the 90s.

Happy Anniversary, Kanzenshuu! I was looking at my passport today, and it turns out, this week is also the tenth anniversary of my first trip to Japan.

Hear Some GT Songs Live This Thursday!

On Friday, I attended the "What a beautiful memory ~Kiseki~" concert in Osaka, a tribute show celebrating ZARD's thirtieth anniversary. It was an amazing show and getting to see ZARD live was one of the reasons why I've wanted to come to Japan since I was a kid. The show had many guest art...

Re: Why is Vegito spelled like that

Moreover, the " -to " syllable in "Vegi to " was arranged that way to represent the " -ot " in "Kakar ot " being spelled backwards. This, I assume, was because the Funimation translators wanted to preserve the pronunciation of the original name while spelling...

Re: Dragon Ball at the Tokyo Olympics

I was at an official shop for the Olympics in Nagoya, and they still sell the merch with all the anime characters on it (Goku, Astro Boy, Sailor Moon, and a few others IIRC). They have bags, caps, shirts, and some other cool stuff. Still too expensive for me though.

Re: Why does Kanzenshuu go with “Kakarrot” despite still having to deal with “Vegetto” over “Veget”? Mike?

Vegetto is just an awful fusion name, even though in Japanese it actually borrows one more character from Goku's name than Gogeta does. :lol: Toriyama should have just used Gogeta. We have two separate origins for him now anyway, so would it really have mattered back then? The games could have easil...

This was the first question (how it healed the hole in Yamcha's chest) I asked on the podcast, back when they regularly took emails. It was at least a decade ago. I remember Mike or someone else shouting, "magic beans!" :lol:
