Re: Members: How old are you?
Lol yeah, as far as I know this board has always has always had a decent influx of teenagers, including, and anyone under 16 was at least born at 2007, which is probably a decent portion of registrations (though maybe not posters). I wonder who the first person who was a active poster who was born a...

Re: Members: How old are you?
Turning 16 in 17 days. Turning 17 in 16 days :D I'm a dirty liar. I'm actual 16. I was embarrassed by my age, and lied. God, it almost hurts to know that I was actually 12, 13 and 14 in these posts, and now I'm old enough to legally drink. I know 21 is a young age to most, but it's still so weird, ...

Re: What would you prefer if one day the voice actors can no longer perform well enough their roles?
I wouldn't have minded if back during Kai, even when everyone was a fair bit younger, if a lot of the cast dropped their roles, even iconic ones like Horikawa or Tanaka. I know Hoirkawa, Tanaka, and a lot of the Z original cast aren't really at a super old age even now (it surprises me that Tanaka e...

Re: TV Asahi runs poll to determine the best Showa, Heisei and Reiwa anime songs. Dragon Ball is very represented
Makafushgi Adventure being relatively low somewhat surprised me, it's definitely better then the Mazinger theme, which isn't even the best Go Nagai show theme. Cat's Eye is better though, I remember listening to that album before I even knew it was connected to anime, really good stuff. Cha La is pr...

Re: Dragon Ball and the "It gets good in about 85% of the way!" mentality
I feel like the just general, "Just wait till it gets good" stuff kinda shows how bizzarely a lot of people, especially anime fans, tend to interact with media. Like, with Dragon Ball, even if you only want a serious action story, I wouldn't tell someone that it doesn't get good like that ...

Re: People who genuinely argue the humor added in dubs "Improves the show"
Being burned by one dub is a personal experience, it's not a position of authority to speak for how bad other dubs are by the association of being western dubs. A lot of anime dubs share a lot of voice actors, directors, and generally a similar style, to be fair. I wouldn't say all dubs are bad bec...

Re: Observation on Mayumi Tanaka's Krillin
Tanaka in particular seems to get around a lot more in anime, and not only in One Piece either. Haven't heard Nozawa in many other places or contexts, for example. Not sure if that's got anything to do with it for sure, but it's probably something to think about too. Yeah I think this is the bigges...

Re: What if Masako Nozawa dies? (God forbid)
Horikawa has been known to smoke, so I think it's sadly catching up with him. Honestly, Horikawa hasn't sounded great as Vegeta since like, the late Cell arc to me ? Not that his voice was strained then, but it got a bit deeper and somewhat gruff, and lost a lot of the edge that made his Saiyan arc...

Re: Do you wish Dragon Ball had more diverse powers?
Powers in specific? Not totally, but I wish the fighting characters, specifically post Namek, had like, actual different roles ? A big issue with the Cell and Boo arcs for me, is that every character who isn't the one to beat the bad guy, feels kind of pointless in a fighting role. I think it would'...

Re: Overrated and Underrated voice actors
I've absolutely adored Hirotaka Suzuoki as Tenshinhan since I was young, and it's a performance I don't super see talked about it ? But he basically makes the character for me, in the same way Kohei Miyauchi did Muten Roshi. He's so good thruout the 22nd Budokai, and he kills the Chiaotzu and Kikoho...

Re: Toei is throwing uncut and improved dubs at every OLD franchise of theirs (Would you like some for Dragon Ball?)
I'm kind of two minds about it. On one hand, it would be really cool to see another English Dub, that is like, kind of free of all of Funimation's casting styles, or weird translation choices, or just general imprint on the franchise, and can just kinda be a accurate version of the original TV shows...

To be fair, as someone who doesn't even entirely disagree with you, I really can't say it's been that much of a thing with like threads irrelevant to it, and with this one especially...I mean it's about Videl.

Sure, but there's only so much that can be said about "Are the new Super Saiyan designs in the modern era lazy" "Has GT been vindicated by the lukewarm reception of Super?" "What is canon?" "Is the series justified in keeping Goku as the lead or should Dragon Ball...

I wouldn't say it's circle-jerking, but I do agree the social problems aspect of DB, or most shounen series, has had all of what has needed to be said. Not to say it shouldn't be talked about, or I am against people or myself talking about it, or that Dragon Ball exists in a world where certain soci...

She's primarily a director nowadays, but Rie Matsumoto already did a lot of work for Toei (Kyousisgiga is sooo pretty), and would probably fit really well into a series like DB. Doubt it would ever happen but...shout outs !!

Re: Toei Animation Is Creating PreCure Series For Adults, Might Dragon Ball Be Next?
If you're familiar with Ojamajo Doremi, another magical girl show, they had a sequel movie as well recently "aimed at adults." It didn't necessarily mean R18 but dealt with fans of the show having the show be a comfort to them in a more cruel modern day. It was quite meta and really inter...

Re: Schemmel says that Nozawa told him they wanted to replace her for the role of adult Goku
For what it's worth, I think the whole thing about Nozawa potentially, or straight up being re-casted as Goku during Z/23rd Budokai arc before fan outrage brought her back, has been a rumor among certain parts of the fandom for a long time, just given how controversial her performance is among the f...
