Re: Do you prefer many short arcs or fewer long arcs?

Imagine if we had a new arc in the manga every 6 months! We'd be about to start our 5th (6th if you count Brolli) new storyline next month instead of only our 2nd since the anime ended two years ago. I've thought about this comment occasionally since it was posted - each month gives us 45 pages, so...

Re: 2021 Dragon Ball Wishlist/Predictions

Well, my wish would be for DBS to return in the fall of this year as a weekly animated series, or at least have them announce another movie is in the works. I also wish we knew exactly what happened behind the scenes that caused them to stop working on bringing the series back along with how far the...

Re: Putting Dragon Ball community aside (for a while)...

As someone who just returned from a self- imposed year and a half hiatus, I understand. Breaks are good, and the start of a new year is a good opportunity to do something fresh and different with your free time.

Re: Anyone surprised the original run of Dragon Ball/DBZ/GT only lasted about 10 years?

11 will take you all the way from birth to middle school. I think it's a respectable length of time for a series. Most series usually peak at year 3 or 4 anyway. I'd definitely argue DB wasn't built to last a long time anyway--not like One Piece where they constantly go to new islands that function...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

I wish Goku and Vegeta had new outfits each arc. Those Galactic Patrol outfits from the covers were a big tease. I hope they get something new for Granola, but I doubt it. They got to change outfits, subtle or not, in Z with each arc. In all fairness, Goku and Vegeta's outfits were updated with the...

Re: What would be the breaking point Super would do that would make you feel like it jumped the shark?

I feel like we're already there, and the Jump the Shark moment was bringing Freeza back for the ToP and then bringing him back to life.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

If they do decide to merge stuff from GT and Super, if they do decide to do their own version of the Baby arc, then I want them to find a way to have Vegeta sport a mustache at some point during the movie. Maybe new!Baby-Vegeta grows one. Maybe it's a thing Vegeta himself tries at the beginning of ...

Re: Thoughts on Moro's character?

He feels like a villain from the old 90's Z movies. Moro's Lord Slug. He's Bojack. He's Android 13. If the Moro arc were a 50 minute movie he'd have done a competent yet mostly unmemorable (save the ending where he merges with the Earth and becomes a rock monster) job. But the Moro arc didn't last 5...

Re: What is the best format for Dragon Ball Super moving forward?

I think for me it wasn't necessarily about hype, but honestly I lost a lot of interest in the Moro arc early on and because of how I've felt about the manga the past two years I personally would prefer Toyotaro not to be the sole official person allowed to create new Dragon Ball stories. If I really...

I hope Toei does do its own thing. I enjoyed having two different versions of each arc.

Re: What is the best format for Dragon Ball Super moving forward?

Seasonal weekly anime series would be my choice. I miss the community, the theorizing, the cliffhangers, translating summaries from NewType, guessing who animated what that week.... it was fun in a way the monthly DBS manga just hadn't been for me. Whatever happens, no more unrelentingly long arcs t...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

While it's too bad the anime is dead, I am surprised the manga is still going. You would think that would go on hiatus too since I doubt it actually makes them much money. I haven't overly enjoyed the manga for a while, but maybe the manga didn't go on hiatus because now they have something to adap...

Re: Do you prefer many short arcs or fewer long arcs?

I'm in agreement with the original post on a preference for many short arcs over few long ones.

Imagine if we had a new arc in the manga every 6 months! We'd be about to start our 5th (6th if you count Brolli) new storyline next month instead of only our 2nd since the anime ended two years ago.

Re: My Dragon Ball Wishes for 2021

  • That the next manga arc will be a lot more fun (imo) than the Moro arc.
  • That we at least get a confirmation that the weekly anime or a movie will eventually be coming soon.
