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

Hope dies last as they say :lol: Holding out and waiting for Goku's day, Jump Festas and other occasions is fine, but I will never understand why people still trust these leaks. Of course nothing is happening, after such long time of shady clickbaiting videos happening pretty much all the time, we c...

Re: Criticism

I think the sub and dub wars are quite over, since American audience is finally getting faithful adaptations and the era of DiC, Saban, Fox Kids and other butcherers from the 90s is over… Anyone can enjoy anything and here we are to discuss the pros and cons of everything in respectful manner :) Ot...

Re: Why exactly is everyone saying that GT has good ideas all the time?

GT has great artstyle, I really love the color schemes, tone and overall designs in it. Lot of the new characters, that weren’t designed by Toriyama, looked a lot like being pulled from his Dragon Quest designs. That for me is already above par than Super. Music is also great and one time wonder by ...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions

Contrivances are usually always a necessary evil for narrative fiction. Sometimes they do get too much but often criticism of it are just nitpicky and pedantic. Yeah at the end of the day something's gonna have to conveniently fall into place...the same shit happens in real life when you take a ste...

Re: "Dragon Ball XENOVERSE 2" Official Discussion Thread

OK, so it's the same as was with Fu etc. Cool. Hopefully will check it on weekend.
It wasn't listed at all in the features, but I was skeptical that they would made the renders just for the sake of trailers,
regarding the low cost approach they have.

Re: "Dragon Ball XENOVERSE 2" Official Discussion Thread

In the trailer, there were story cutscenes with those nice renders that look beautiful in comparison to the middle age gen of XV2 but I haven't seen story in the content, just PQs. Is there story? I hope that this is the last DLC that I will buy as a completionist and will try it out later, as I jum...

Re: New Sand Land project announced

Love it! I also like that they are true to the source material and it looks exactly, how Toriyama drew it back then! In contrast to recent Dragon Ball, which is a mish mash of Toriyama's art style at the end of Z, mixed with Yamamuro with new Toriyama designs somehow adapted back in and it's weird a...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

I actually find this about Toriyama funny and I respect the guy. As a fellow who works in design and advertising, I am fascinated by him trying to slack off, or hack his work to make it easier for himself, which in turn makes his work unique... His most iconic art style from the mid 90s is a result ...

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

I have a feeling, that they've skipped the Broly movie because it is really old by now and as the Super Hero is recent, maybe to boost the Xenoverse DLC release a bit. But yeah, this is the main medium for Dragon Ball right now by the sales numbers. No show, maybe some movie in production to come ou...

Re: Is there any countries where Super or the recent movies was the Dragon Ball anime's debut?

Cool, thanks for the interesting info.
Quite similar to my country, except we didn't got ads and anything, it was just kids watching German RTL II and ORF1 and Polish dubs (one man show voiceover over the French version on RTL7) on Cable TV from the countries around.

Comparing games across ages by units sold is same as comparing how much The Last Jedi made in comparison to The Empire Strikes Back. Apples and oranges... more so with games.

Re: A new Budokai Tenkaichi has been announced

The lamest thing they could do is make transformations as another slots. Like, there's Goku who can go from SSJ to SSJ3, and SSJ4/SSJG are another characters. Xenoverse did that and it was disappointing. Yes, that! I still love to this day the early Z Goku, Android arc Goku and Buu arc Goku, with s...

Re: A new Budokai Tenkaichi has been announced

I hope we get adult GT Goku and the chance to fight 2 or more vs 1. Can't recall if that was a thing in the previous installments. Actually it was in Tag Versus on PSP, but not in the main series. There was this kind of gameplay close to more characters in the field in Raging Blast, up to 3 vs 3, b...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

The recent Super manga kinda makes me feel that I need the expanded movie adapted as part of a 2D anime, if they will follow the previous Super formula :lol:

But I really wonder if and what will be this year's announcement about if that happens.
