Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 102 - Official Discussion Thread

They should've had Goten and Trunks just fight separately, this would have been a far better time to actually build on their characterization. Instead, we got...more dumb shit. When do Goten and Trunks do the version of fusion that turns them into girls for the rest of the franchise? Luckily never. ...

Re: What are the worst Dragonball hot takes you've ever heard?

Just to clarify, while I really do enjoy the new take on Broli in Movie #20, I really don't think it would have hit as hard without the excellent work bringing him to life that Nagamine and the various key animators did. That movie is less a Broli movie and more a movie about the animation staff get...

Re: What are the worst Dragonball hot takes you've ever heard?

Here is one, DBS Anime Goku isn't worse that DB/DBZ Goku in anyway at all. DBS Goku the same as DB/DBZ, there is no difference. I have seen people mention that before. There are plent of evidence that isn't true at all. On a similar note to this: "But this is the Goku Toriyama always envisione...

Re: The end of era: Sony discontinues the Funimation brand on April 2

I would argue that the Pokemon TV anime (plural) is not only technically better than the Dragon Ball TV anime (plural), but it is sub-culturally more important. The contribution to the franchise by its various staff since 1997 has made it a technical achievement, and a storytelling achievement throu...

Technically he does love himself, he even fuse with himself. Can't exactly get closer than that. Zamasu hates mortals, therefore would hate Freeza. good, that'll make it hotter the dialogue between those two would be amazing , especially if they both wind up being each other's downfall Tbh, in the ...

Re: How would you introduce Dragon Ball to Gen Alpha?

anime in general is still a very stigmatized field in that same country, believe it or not. My issue is that the poor treatment of sexuality in anime does nothing to tackle that stigma. In fact it only supports it as we see so many examples of women being objectified, jokes about guys being pervert...

Kids also have more forms of entertainment outside of television today, so I think that that is important to keep in mind, too.

Re: How would you introduce Dragon Ball to Gen Alpha?

While I don't condone the more pervy stuff in original Dragon Ball it is a product of its time, and I think as long as new viewers view it in that context and understand we can't judge media by the more civilized norms of the present they will be fine 'Product of its time' is meaningless, because t...

So, speaking as a woman with teenage nibling(s) into anime, I would actually not introduce them to Dragon Ball . There's some really awful shit in there, and quite frankly I don't think I need to introduce them to something just because I happen to like it. I'm more interested in learning from them,...

EDIT: Oh shit, I misread the title. Yeah, I love Kefla and and Zamasu, but that's about it. Fusion is tedious otherwise. Kefla and Zamasu felt like substantial character arcs culimnating.

Re: The end of era: Sony discontinues that the Funimation brand on April 2

I'll always remember how Ian James Corlett had to quit voicing Gokuu because FUNimation wouldn't pay him enough for the damage it was doing to his voice, and thus his ability to do other acting work.

Two years later they moved to Dallas to afford paying actors even more.

Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" Dub Turns 13; Still Unreleased

It is so weird seeing a post on Toon Zone/AnimeSuperhero linked here. It's so nostalgic, lol.

Anyway, it's likely that the dub exists, if only because goddamn, would it take a lot of people to lie about.

Also, I updated the thread title again.
