Re: Do you still think Gohan should've been the main character?

What series can you name, other than DB apparently, that swaps out its lead after a long run and is the better for it? Jojo's Bizarre Adventure does this quite successfully. I agree with your points mainly, but there are exceptions to the rule where it works for the better. While Jojo might be an e...

Re: Explanation of Freeza's name in "DB FOREVER" (and Bra)

I see it with romanizations of Goku too. My D.O.D. figure has a base where it's spelt Gokou. Is there a version of this from an official source like Toei? I don't think Toei's ever spelt it like that. I know they've used " Goku ", and they Toriyama has used " Gokuh "...but I see...

Re: Fan Perceptions of Son Goku's characterization: Then vs Now

If he can't count up to 10 in Super, than this is just a flanderization of his character. He was able to count and do math as a child, and have more functional abilities as he continues to age, such as raising a family in his off-period from fighting. Yet, now he cannot count or know what kissing i...

Re: Fan Perceptions of Son Goku's characterization: Then vs Now

Here's the thing, when Goku let's Vegeta go, he admits it is a bad idea and it really is just a selfish request. He's not stupid. It's not like he wants Vegeta to be let go and assumes everything will be alright and doesn't understand the consequences of these actions. Goku DOES understand that he i...

Re: Why is Goten still a kid in Modern Dragon Ball?

Well, when Toei tried to do new things, changing the look of all the characters with a large time skip, it didn't do too well. That was GT. I know it is a bit of a cop out, but I am sure that since GT didn't do well by going in a very different direction compared to the original series--from charact...

Re: Poor, poor Goten.

I honestly dislike Goten (and Buu era Trunks) quite a bit. I find their antics annoying which drag the plot from moving forward. It is a slog to get through their scenes during the Tournament portion of the Buu arc. However, oddly enough, I enjoy Gotenks as a character much more. Maybe it is because...

Re: Old artstyle vs New Artstyle 2.0

That picture is a great example of the big chins and no jaw line Yamamuro loved to do. I am not a fan. Shiny skin and stubby stiff hair are all there, way back in 1995-1996. Edit: I have compiled the differences on how they drew the faces from a low angle shot. Buu era and beyond bubble the face out...

On the post with YTV, it goes to show that I was correct all along. One of my first posts on this forum, in this thread, back in 2010, I said anime is a but disregarded as trash in Canada. Essentially it is true. Without the internet, anime would most likely never make it here again. Luckily, the in...

Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" dub seems to be coming...

In some ways, if this dub is coming out now, it might actually be a better time for it to happen than ever before. If it came out in 2009/2010 alongside Funimation's version, heavy criticisms from people who are not used to the Ocean cast, and those who want to compare it to the American version, wo...

Re: Old artstyle vs New Artstyle 2.0

Shintani's art style looks ok, but some of the faces look kind of off at times for me, like the entire clip in the trailer of Goku talking with Whis. Now Takahashi's take with the new style is absolutely beautiful. It's exactly how I feel Dragon Ball should look nowadays. Bless that man and his art...

Re: Would you say Linda Young got better or worse over time?

What episodes were those? I'm still unsure what they kept for Young and what they redubbed in the Freeza Saga. It's all over the place. She definitely redubbed everything up until his third form, and then the first 2 episodes after he transformed into his 4th form. From episode 84 on its her wretch...

Re: Yamamuro vs. Shintani

I'll never understand the love for Yamamuro. Ever. Never like his stuff in the Cyborg arc even. Giant chins, too much shading, giant noses, wide faces, weird shading of the cheeks, makes Vegeta look too tall... Really never liked his stuff. Sad to always see people go back to "recreate" Dr...

Well the new design of Vegeta, released in the trailer, he looks straight out of the early Cyborg arc. The big forehead is back too which I like!! But some of the close-ups in the trailer of Vegeta remind me of some of his close-ups in the first Broly film. It was interesting to see. Goku's base for...

Re: Favorite spaceship?

The only one I'm really a fan of is the GT spaceship. The others are fine, but none of them strike me as stand-out spaceship designs like the Enterprise or the Imperial Star Destroyer. In fact, I'm not sure any of these are even close to Toriyama's best vehicle designs. Oh, and I'm sorry, but the A...
