Had to pay respects. If there's a Valhalla for authors, Toriyama's more than earned his place. Thanks for all the fun times.
Hey, welcome back! Sad it had to be under these circumstances.
But yeah, if there's an afterlife, I hope Toriyama fiddling with his model kits right now.
Ooh, yeah, I also watched the Afterlife Tournament arc on The International Channel and some of the Majin Buu arc. It was so surreal, because my actual first exposure was a shitty fansub download of the episode where Trunks fights that one dipshit in the Tenka-ichi Budoukai that I downloaded via Nap...
Well, no, I'm talking about what's necessary. Dragon Ball is a complete story. Nothing in Super was/is necessary; it's effectively a side-story taking place during a timeskip in Dragon Ball's story. It is the Optional Comedic Sequel™. It going on longer than the original run (or having someone's ab...
I recall in my days as a younger girl first coming across Dragon Ball Z when it was airing on Toonami in either October or November of 1998. I specifically remember the first episode I watched being the one where Vegeta was killing the Namekians with the Reigun from Yuu Yuu Hakusho . At the time I w...
Copyright law, as is the way with most if not all laws, exists to protect the wealthiest above all else. Yamamoto Kenji's crime wasn't harming the average Jane, it was 'harming' those with more money than him, and for that he was judged and excommunicated.
The major issue being, I think, is that Toriyama is obssessed with setting up rules for handicapping himself with the types of stories he'll tell, and Toyo-tarou, Victory Uchida, and anyone else involved with the franchise, refuses to actually think about breaking those rules. Like, literally, anyon...
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. ...
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...
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...
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 ...
Give Zamasu a boyfriend! Hey, Freeza's single right now! 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 t...
Why censor a finished project when they can just label the series 18+ and include a content warning at the beginning of each episode stating "We’re fucking idiots and hate women and queer people and thought it was a smart idea to make that apparent in this series but we know better now sorry&qu...
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...
