Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

Marketing is still a thing in Japan. I know the US has a habit of just dumping shit and never thinking twice of it, but that's a result of executives being dumb as hell lol. And even that's a relatively recent phenomenon. Companies like Netflix just decided word of mouth can do its thing and then t...

Let's not refer to a corporation with slurs just because a silly cartoon isn't getting a proper remastering.

Re: Dragon Ball and Centrism disguised as "A Desire for works to stop being political"

There's a lot of what I would call 'exective-friendly representation' in a lot of modern works, where the rep still feels very "executive wants to do rainbow capitalism, but isn't really letting said groups control their own representation." I remember getting this feeling a lot with, say,...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

The lack of marketing for this show is something else. Sometimes I forget this is coming this year. Apparently in the beginning Daima was supposed to be a project without Toriyama, but then he got involved and contribute a lot. I would like to know how much changes Toriyama did and who had the bril...

Re: Dragon Ball and Centrism disguised as "A Desire for works to stop being political"

Comics and other mediums for telling stories should absolutely take our political leaders and make fun of them and how pathetic they are, actually. This is how art has been made since...the beginning of time. Also mocking political figures is one of the most milquetoast forms of satire. Imagine clu...

Re: Is original Dragon Ball really that unpopular?

I think the importance of a really good first episode is often lost on a lot of fans, because not a lot of fans watch a lot of stuff, or think about factors like time. If I am going to recommend a series with a good first episode, I'm recommending something like Re:Zero , which I think is not only a...

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...

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)

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.
