Re: How Eguchi Hisashi's Manga About a Trans Girl Nearly Ended "Dr. Slump" Early
It's kinda crazy to learn that Hibari-kun was so popular, considering I never heard about it until a few years ago when trans YouTubers started promoting it. I dunno if the manga continuing would have really had much of a knock-on effect on other works or the general way cis people think about tran...

Re: How Eguchi Hisashi's Manga About a Trans Girl Nearly Ended "Dr. Slump" Early
While there is some... very out-dated elements to Stop!! Hibari-kun! I am fascinated by the notion that not only did the massively successful Dr. Slump nearly fall to a comic about a cute trans girl wrapping everyone about her finger, but that if it hadn't ended serialization so soon we might have ...

Re: How Eguchi Hisashi's Manga About a Trans Girl Nearly Ended "Dr. Slump" Early
Yeah, I'm curious what the exact mood was behind the scenes. Like, surely the animated adaption—which began only fourteen months after the comic did—was helping pull in a lot more money, so I'm surprised that there was already a financial hiccup of sorts. Or was it less financial, and more the weird...

How Eguchi Hisashi's Manga About a Trans Girl Nearly Ended "Dr. Slump" Early
An interesting tweet summarizing an interview with mangaka Eguchi Hisashi (not to be confused with the Dragon Ball animator) came across my timeline earlier this morning. Former Weekly Shonen Jump editor Kazuhiko Torishima revealed in a recent interview that "Stop!! Hibari-kun!" by Hisash...

Re: Recasts that ended up being better than the original
Tanaka Mayumi's Uranai Baba. I know that there is a (misogynistic) history of men playing women in The Theater, but I really do hate it when a cis man plays any kind of woman. Women have a hard enough time getting any kind of role/work, so I was glad when Tanaka took over the role.

Re: Why are the English dubisms far too ingrained into the fandom?
I haven't been as active here in the last few months but since I started dropping back in, I fell under the impression Kanzenshuu had become a dub fan's paradise. I see hardly any sub/dub elitism. Every new topic seems to be about some obscure Peruvian, Yugoslavian, High Elvish dub that two, three ...

Getting a second chance doesn't mean we gotta let him back into our homes, fandom spaces, or the public spotlight. Furuya can save that shit for his private life.

Re: Furuya Tooru (Yamcha) Admits to Physically Abusing Woman He Had An Affair With
I'm not trying to be a bitch or anything, but the title of the thread literally says Furuya Tooru, who is not exactly a voice actor in in the English dubbing industry.

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)
I hope Gokuu or some other man gets punched in the balls again in Daima . Just for old time's sake, y'know? In other news, I'm curious to see Mr. Satan again for the first time since his third voice actor, Ebara Masashi (Might Guy from NARUTO) was brought on to voice the character in 2020. Insofar, ...

Re: Why are most people complaining about Funimation's 16:9 cropping in DBZ but not Toei's 16:9 cropping in DBZ Kai?
Having been voted by the entirety of the eight billion people on the planet as the representative of everyone's opinions on the matter: it was stupid to crop older animation for Dragon Ball Kai, but at the same time, Dragon Ball Kai is also an entirely separate television series, and therefore does ...

Nope, it disregards my point entirely, as has been the case for most people who have responded to me, or at best they only took half my point into consideration .

Re: Is Goku hitting his head a relevant detail for his character anymore?
Nothing really matters. Tell the stories you want to tell, life is too short—and too long—to worry about matching one canon or the next when we can approach a story idea for its own sake and go from there. I've never really cared about the head injury thing because it ultimately doesn't matter. You ...

“The moment I stepped into the room, he pushed me onto the bed with a force I hadn’t expected. There was no buildup, no romance. It was so abrupt. As he grew more aroused, he tried to enter me without protection. I pleaded, ‘Wait, please,’ but he brushed it off, saying, ‘It’s okay, it’s okay,'” she...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)
Toriyama was so big on trying to make Gokuu feel like 'not a traditional hero' or to highlight the 'poison' of his character, but he doesn't really do that in an interesting and/or entertaining fashion the further along he gets into the series. Grounding elements that make Gokuu be some semblance of...

Re: Furuya Tooru (Yamcha) Admits to Physically Abusing Woman He Had An Affair With
Works of art are an open invitation from an artist to their audience to think about their relationship to the art, and how their life's experiences affect their perception of that art. To say that Furuya's work is this somehow separate thing from him is patently untrue. Furuya's abusive actions do n...
