Re: ME TOONS CONFIRMED! (SPEED RACER IN THE LINE UP)

Disclaimer: my broken down ass spent, like, ninety minutes writing this post, so I apologize that it sort of turned into a messy jumble of shit, and I also apologize that it comes across as if I'm harping on-and-on, it's just that other people beat me to posting their responses to stuff, and now I'm...

Re: ME TOONS CONFIRMED! (SPEED RACER IN THE LINE UP)

On a closing thought, I think that Dragon Ball is the Disney Adult's anime. It's generic and mainstream enough with a 25+ year fandom in the US alone to build up the mystique of its importance and nostalgia. I'd take it a step further and say Shonen anime in general is the Disney Adult's anime. The...

Re: ME TOONS CONFIRMED! (SPEED RACER IN THE LINE UP)

Everyday I am thankful for never getting into Harry Potter. I'm always of two minds when it comes to discussing the art that adults consume, and then doing such on a generational level. There's always a lot of factors to consider, and as a member of intersecting disabled communities myself, as well ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

The Pan hate in GT has always struck me as so exaggerated. I think there's a type of fan is obsessed with characters making logical and efficient decisions to end the game story as quickly as possible and that type or fan usually clings to rules and 'hard facts' to advance this, and characters like...

I would imagine we'll get one for San Diego Comic Con, to match the other events.

I don't think there has been an official announcement yet, but I would not be surprised if Disney+ got the international license for Daima.

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

No one would call the DBS anime "groundbreaking", but at the end of the day it was decent promotion for the manga and the films. It's weird to see it that way, considering that the DBS manga was born as a promotional product for the anime. Eh, at the end of the day it's all the same thing.

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

All anime are promotional tools for something else.

That being said, the cardinal sin of Super is that it's production committee members did not provide its creative staff with the time and resources necessary to create something more groundbreaking.

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

That's all subjective you know. For me and many other people, DB franchise stands at the top. Most of these other anime wouldn't exist without it either... Most anime wouldn't exist without Kimba The White Lion, including Dragon Ball itself. Therefore, Kimba The White Lion is superior to Dragon Bal...

Re: Favorite OP and ED Theme?

I am contractually obligated as a person of Gender to offer that the best Opening theme is Genkai Toppa x Survivor , as originally performed by the genderless monarch, Kiina. It's such a fun, high-energy song, and I'm really happy to see it having become the center of Dragon Ball Super identity. Bri...

Yeah, I noticed that too when I was reporting that post. It's also been six years since shinmaru posted, so I'm curious how their account was hacked.

Re: Toei Instagram posting 4:3 Dragon Ball

And in this scenario the words you're looking for are "lazy" and "incompetent" I'm loath to fight yet another battle, but the word 'lazy' sucks shit, too, for a whole host of reasons. The executives at Toei Animation are greedy capitalists who put profits over art preservation. ...

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.

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...
