Kanzenshuu

If "Modern Broly" turns out anything like Minus Bardock, one would hope Classic Broly remains the primary representation of the character.

I agree with much of what you said though I don't know what more Videl could've contributed. She acts as a good catalyst and a way to re-explore old concepts and the new status quo earlier in the arc; that wasn't as necessary later on, but having another (fairly) level-headed voice, and continuing ...

- The attempts to fit Beerus into past events end up shrinking the universe rather than expanding it, and are one of the most frustrating and annoying aspects of his character. - Certain human characters fading into the background during the Z material wasn't a bad thing. Several of them (looking at...

Hey, KaiserNeko, I dunno if you'll read this because you gotta be busy, but.... I've been thinking about this after the episode and I'm kinda surprised that you didn't have everyone else call out Piccolo during his Call Out to Goku's terrible parenting, because Piccolo....sure wasn't the best dad r...

- Gohan in school/visiting Trunks/playing with Goten/any slice of life moment from the beginning of the arc - Gohan teaching Goten and Videl to fly - Videl vs Spopovitch (it's brutal and uncomfortable, but it's really well-written and a great turning point for the arc) - Gohan's SS2 transformation a...

So far, so funny! Loved the callbacks, the running lines, and most of all, I loved the Marvin the Martian reference. Oh, and Kaiser? [spoiler]IIRC, you once said that you liked that Gohan was more bookish and pacifistic, but that he shouldn't have been made the person with the most latent power in t...

I very much hope that they'll be able to go on to Buu, but if they can't, the series has still been wonderful. I suppose my only question for Kaiser would be - have circumstances changed materially in the very recent past, or is the situation still as hbi2k described on Reddit a few months back? Wh...

I watched a few episodes of this series a few years back, but I went through the entire thing over Christmas. It's a very wide-ranging and intelligently-presented analysis of Dragon Ball . I've found a lot that's made me rethink parts of the series, a lot that presents things I've felt in a new way,...

This'll be an interesting one for me. My feelings on the first Broly movie are actually opposite to what the guys said about it last DBCember. To me, the plot - the backstory of Paragus and King Vegeta, the father's struggle to control his son's mind and power, the efforts to take revenge on Vegeta,...

For something a little different in the fan works section: I wrote about DBZ for my extended essay, the closest thing to a thesis that I had to complete for my master's degree. Disclaimer: the program was a film production program, and this sort of academic assignment wasn't exactly the highlight. T...

Perhaps a broader question than anything DB-specific, but - does anyone have any experience with this service, or can otherwise speak to their quality and safety?

I don't like the Krillin Owned Count. We only use it anymore because we haven't been able to properly retire it yet. Hindsight's 20/20, but - you could've retired it after the Freeza Saga with the in-universe explanation that the counter resets every time he dies, and you opted not to keep showing ...

Related to this same assignment - is there anyone who could tell me the specific episodes where... Here you go. #279 - [05:46.16] - Goku: I can say this now, but the truth is, #279 - [05:48.16] - Goku: I could have beaten that chubby Boo back when I was at Super Saiyan 3. #279 - [05:53.76] - Goku: ...

This might be an unusual request, but - for my master's degree, I need to write a 6K word extended essay, and my topic is the "Hero's Journey" monomyth and the ways it appears in DragonBall. Is there a place I might find the fully translated publishing details of the daizenshuu? I need th...

Although...actually...as someone who has seriously read and thought about this topic...is it 100% applicable? Dragon Ball really doesn't have "The Return" part of the journey. The hero doesn't use what he obtains to help his community. Goku becomes a Super Saiyan, but it's for a purely se...

Thanks for all the suggestions, folks. Looking over my OP - I did make it sound like I was restricted to academia only, didn't I? We are allowed to cite popular books, articles, and video essays. Frankly, they seem to grade the bibliography on quantity as much as (sometimes more than) quality. I've ...

Odd request, but - does anyone know if there are any academic papers, by professors or even graduate students, written about DB/Z/GT/S and available for easy access? I'm writing one myself for a master's program, and the supervisor has been stressing the need to cite previous writings as academic so...
