Re: Is DBS: Broly overrated?

Everyone has answered already, but I'd like to throw in my two cents. I think that there are 3 things this movie has going for it. The first is that Broly is in it, and for reasons I never understood he's an American favorite. Second is the animation which is the best the franchise has ever had to t...

Re: Toei should promoto Piccolo more as a LGBTQQIP2SAA character

I have a simpler solution: how about we keep identity politics out of some dumb kung-Fu cartoon? This is not an appropriate response. It's an appropriate response, you just disagree with it. An inappropriate response would be along the lines of "keep ideologies that promote mental illness out ...

Re: (Project idea) Dragon Ball Z Kai Upscale

So I looked at one of the links above from framecompare, and I must say this of the #3 Kai 1080p Upscale DNR version. It looks nice, but somewhat off. A tad into uncanny valley. The trees look great and the image generally looks great, but if you view the image at full resolution (right click > view...

So would you say that Toei threw Yamamoto under the bus to save themselves? Or do you think that there truly were possible lawsuits coming at them if the infringing music wasn't removed?

Re: Was there any backlash to the pedophilia (Mai & Trunks) plot point in DBS?

I just want to say that we should all remember that, assuming I'm remembering correctly, Trunks and Mai never actually do anything. They flirt a bit and that's it. No kissing or any other "touching." They hang out. Big deal. I know the age part is still odd but.. I chalk that up to Japan h...

Re: I'm done with the dub UPDATE

I dislike the dub cast because of how they are changing Super to be funnier and inserting throwbacks to the old Toonami days. They proved that they could do an honest, near literal translation of the original Japanese dialogue when they dubbed Kai. But with Super? They're doing fuck all and just hav...

Re: Was Dragonball Super a victim of the declining anime industry?

They probably thought it would last 100 episodes and fade away and didn't put any money into it because of this, but then it wound up becoming a sensation and they realized way too late that they should've put in more effort . South Americans still loved it regardless, as evident by the outdoor scr...

Re: 10 Years of Dragon Ball (Z) Kai (2009-2019)

I can't believe Kai is 10 years old already. I really wish they had properly re-inserted Kikuchi into it and not fucked up Boo Kai. It would be the perfect and definitive way to watch the series if so. Now it's a struggle between Kai for the pacing/speed, and Z for the less annoying score placement ...

Re: What do you think of the tone difference between Z and Super?

It was never supposed to be about a group of superheroes with blonde hair kicking ass and taking names with guitars and electronic synth in the background like Faulconer/Funimation made it (as awesome as that was). It was more of what Kikuchi scored it which is an eastern style martial arts comedy ...

What do you think of the tone difference between Z and Super?

So Dragon Ball started out as a Journey to the West homage with Goku as Sun Wukong and Bulma as whomever (I'm not familiar with the story). The series is a martial arts gag-manga that slowly became less gag and more martial arts. We here at Kanzenshuu as site goers are all familiar with the original...

Before you make a post responding to the title, please read this. We know thanks to VegettoEX's Kenji Yamamoto Retrospective that the Dragon Ball Kai incident was not the first time Toei has dealt with Yamamoto's plagiarism. "Battle Point Unlimited" was a mix of three Propaganda songs that...

What the fuck? Why didn't they go with the "temporary Kikuchi" placement? It's so much better! Toei never fails to let me down even more than they already have. First Boo kai's existence (and green tint), then Super's terrible art and animation for eps. 001-028, then Broly's green tint in ...
