Re: New Toei film looks DB-inspired?

With both being based on the same source material I feel like it's inevitable that Toei Animation staff will reference something from their other series' interpretation.

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

The fact that a composer or sound director haven't been announced yet makes me lean towards there being no real sound production done on the series yet—which is to say, they probably haven't recorded voice acting yet. I don’t knownwhy they are dragging their feet if they supposedly already have a nu...

Oh, that's a relief. Perhaps they'll still select a good composer, then. 😆

Re: Favorite DBZ arc?

Each arc inevitably tires itself out, so it's hard to choose an arc that feels like it might be, like, good. The first half of the Namek arc (up through Piccolo's arrival) is good and fun. The Artificial Humans arc is good and fun until Perfect Cell appears. After those points it feels like those re...

I kind of wonder why they didn't try to develop a companion game for Daima, too, now that I think about it.

But Yuugi-Ou is funnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

God, I wish Heroes had the time to actually be fleshed out and handled well. I really like the concepts at play. Those first two arcs of the anime were so close to being good.

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

I mean, the accusation against Toriyama's Bardock is that making him 'good' (which I struggle to really think of him as) somehow makes him less unique/less Toriyama-esque than the 'badass' and 'eviler' Koyama Bardock. Now, that being said, I prefer the Toriyama Bardock because I think that Toriyama ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

I'll laugh so hard if Nakatsuru was brought back because he designed Super Saiyan 4 and Daima is going to use it. I doubt that will happen, but I'll take it! You know, I really hope this doesn't happen. I'm pretty sure if Toriyama ever attempted to "Toriyamafy" SSJ4, he would annihilate e...

The art for this series is always so interesting. I wish that there was more room to flesh out the characters a story a bit.

When I look at the initial roster released I just can't help but wonder if the production team that it would sound absolutely ridiculous or not.

Doesn't help that most male characters act like, "I want to be stronger to the detriment of everyone around me! :D"
Damn, this is just like so many of the most powerful men IRL, too lol

Re: Male or female characters?

I like female characters. They're relatable and I get to gush over their cute outfits. I'm attracted to men, though, so I like it when a male character has an attractive personality (and design). I'm also a fujoshi (Boy's Love fan) and himejoshi (Girl's Love fan), so I like it when a story or series...

....or it indicates they haven't begun recording for the show yet I think in anime they voice first, animate later, we even have Super Broly as a case of how this affected the plot, since Broly wasn't meant to go green or the original script so no one comments on this new form. So Daima is likely m...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

Despite there being little in terms of plot info, I really like what I saw. Loved the emphasis on more grounded martial arts (particularly those moments that scream Jackie Chan) and I thought the animation looked good. Nothing here that dismisses the idea that this is happening in some alternate un...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

Yeah, I agree. I don't like what Nakatsuru did with the animation character designs. I hope they're mostly ignored after the first episode.
