Re: What are the thoughts of the Japanese people regarding Dragon Ball Super?

Following both Japanese and English-language social media reactions, they're virtually identical to ones in English-speaking countries. Basically every take I've seen in English, I've also seen in Japanese. The only difference is perhaps that it's obvious more kids (the actual target demographic) g...

Re: Why the Black Frieza saga will not be seen

I'm confused, when did the prevalent thought shift back to being that GT is canon? I thought at the start of Super and throughout the anime, everyone considered it non canon to the Super story lines. I don't think the prevalent thought shifted, I was just mentioning the fact that despite no one tre...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 101 - Official Discussion Thread

Y'know thinking of it, considering how slow Toyotaro's arcs are this will last for a while, and we'll probably still have the Super manga being published alongside Daima... Which is kind of a funny situation for two different DB brands to be active at the same time. Well, we already had SD, Heroes ...

Re: New worldwide releases of the anime: Super or Kai?

However, that was all within the SD format and the swap to HD was probably the biggest revolution in television image since the arrival of color and it's the HD that makes the distinction between older cartoons/shows and newer stuff more visible. That's why I've been wondering mostly whether it's n...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 101 - Official Discussion Thread

Honest question, why not? Is it because the "DEEBEEZEE" fans would like it and you have a need to feel "superior" to them? Maybe not a straight up Battle of Gods 2, but a movie that climaxes with Goku vs Beerus rematch wherein Goku defeats him has the potential to be fun and sat...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 101 - Official Discussion Thread

And outside of its little manga bubble the broader Dragon Ball franchise ignores the Super manga anyway. So... the Super manga will ignore the Super manga. Makes sense. It will happen sooner or later because that's how narrative works, you introduce something, tease it, leave threads open, even hav...

Nope. And outside of its little manga bubble the broader Dragon Ball franchise ignores the Super manga anyway. Not if you look at YouTube for one and check the millions of views the videos talking about/reviewing/discussing the manga-original arcs get. The broader DB fanbase may have ignored stuff ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 101 - Official Discussion Thread

Yay for more Trunks and Goten, hopefully more Goten this time as Trunks got 99% of the characterization in chapters 88-90 but... lol at the manga still being stuck in the Super Hero arc essentially, they're milking it to the very last drop We have yet to see how a two-year-old Bra looks like. Now's ...

Re: Why the Black Frieza saga will not be seen

Why d'you assume that any arc containing Black Freeza would end in this death? Super so far has shown exactly the opposite idea for this character. He will probably live on as long as he is profitable. Unless they really want to try and reset the status quo so that GT can still happen, then he need...

Yeah when I was a kid I didn't give a damn whether it was the anime from the 70s/80s, pre-WWII Looney Toons or the modern (back in the 90s) stuff. However, that was all within the SD format and the swap to HD was probably the biggest revolution in television image since the arrival of color and it's...

Re: Iyoku's plan expand and keep Dragon Ball popular until 2034.

From what Twitter lunatic does this come from? I'm no investor but that doesn't really sound like a logical decision. I'm not saying it isn't logical because this is a Dragon Ball forum but because why would they get rid of one of their most profitable propierties (along with One Piece) just like t...

Re: Inclusivity towards women in Dragon Ball?

Ultimately money talks for companies. They don't make products to be inclusive. Just look at Disney and how they're promoting minority characters and how they're being inclusive, only for them to downplay or cut those characters out of the movie for release in certain regions of the world. It's eit...

Re: New worldwide releases of the anime: Super or Kai?

Do kids even notice the retro-look of (esp early) Z/Kai? Legit question, my nephews didn't (aged around 8-12) when Kai was on TV, or at least they didn't comment on it but that's obviously anecdotal. Curious if anyone ever heard kids talking about it and if it is an actuall issue or not. Maybe stuff...

In any case, I don't see this happening any time soon.

Definitely, specially if one feels they're not getting paid enough for what they created, which does happen a lot because corporations are scum. True.
