Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)
I hope there won't be any kind of transformation: I want an adventure and story that can be solved out of the most repetitive and boring structure of the franchise. These things really aren't mutually exclusive or whatever. Like, "characters transform, therefore that will always be what ends a...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)
I'm hoping for transformations, just accompanied by good storyboarding and animation. Fights typically benefit from kicking up a gear in the middle, before cooling down for the big finale, ala Naruto's second fight with Sasuke. I thinknit really helps the more martial arts-esque moments that bookend...

Re: If Zamasu came back
Bora was brought back so that Upa wouldn't become the strongest character as a result of now dedicating his life to training.

Re: Is original Dragon Ball really that unpopular?
I think the One Piece fans telling you to get it a hundred or whatever episodes are all teenagers or in their early twenties. I watched a ton of episodes of the series, and you know what? The problems with it never get fixed. Even now, with Episode #1,101 having just aired, it still has the same iss...

Re: unpopular opinion: kenji yammoto should have never got fired
Corporation steals from artist, artist steals from artist, corporation steals from artist stealing from artist. At the end of the day, corporations that don't do any work steal from artists.

Re: Would a complete DBZ English redub be necessary?
I don't really think it matters. Who is a new dub going to be for? No new fans are going to sit through 444 episodes of an English dub of three thirty-plus year old cartoons. If they're going to sit through that many episodes, they will in all likelihood be interested in the work from a historical ...

Re: Losing interest in Dragon Ball
Things change with time, and so it makes sense to not really atay interested in a work in the same way or to the same degrees consistently across our lives. It's okay to just move on.

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)
The silliness of "My Dragon Ball Era is better than YOUR Dragon Ball Era" is honestly besides the point. How good Daima is or isn't is going to be unrelated to any previous series, and is something that can be determined bith on its own merits and the merits of as a work of art in general...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)
I hope Daima is a seering satire of American inperialism or the abuse found in the manga industry. Something like the Freeza's real-estate satire taken to the next level.

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)
It's a visual medium, good visual work is important in adapting screenplays to the screen. We need to think about the stages past the scripting stage as just as important if not more so in, and as an extension of the writing process. That Super continued to suffer even in its later days proves that ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)
I'm also really interested in hearing about the plot. There's going to be an oppressed group featured in the story? That's my bread and butter! Bring on the Imegga remake, baby. Yes, but lean into the anti-capitalism and make everyone queer, too lol (Need to see Gokuu fight Redict again, please)

Re: Your favorite animators and their styles.
Tate Naoki and his work on Dragon Ball Super: Broli is easily my favorite in the franchise. The drawings are kept simple and cute, but still really depict the characters' muscles really well, while also focusing on the timing of each drawing. The manner in which his characters move have so much pers...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Master Mutato being a minor character should not factor into it. If he is white skinned in the cartoon then he should be cast as a white skinned guy (I'm not sure if Mutato is supposed to be Asian or Caucasian) in the live action version. (It should not be a requirement but a heavy consideration) W...

Re: The Original Movie 14.
I think that the original idea from Watanabe sounds really interesting, my only real concerns would be the ending reversing the story—which would be bland—and the animation supervisor and character designer being Yamamuro Tadayoshi. A nice little dark story would be a real rule breaker for Dragon Ba...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Why is casting Caucasian to play character with Asian name is considered dumb? Goku is an alien, even that setting wasn't established until much later. Film with an international audience shouldn't matter whatsoever. "Goku is an alien" Okay let's have Clark Kent played by a black man in t...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
If there's ever going to be another attempt of live action adaptation (which will most likely won't happen for a VERY long time if not ever), casting of Goku's ethnicity shouldn't matter, especially for movie made outside of Japan, particularly America. I NEVER understood why people were so upset w...
