I want Mangastream's "Zeno from the hood!" to show up in the dub of the anime.

He must feel awful. Being a God and no one respects him. Just sad.
And Zamasu thought he had it bad. Fuckin' edgy Kaios thinking about "Justice" and shit just because they got strong by chance.

If you gonna start a new series, it's okay to introduce new concepts and work with that. :wink:
A world without Dragon Ball is just meh.

Not exactly a new series as those concepts were introduced first in a DBZ movie, but tell me how that's not the case with Kaioshin and Majin Boo too?

Because we never heard about Kaioshin and Majin Boo before and they appear in the last major arc of a long running manga.
Introduce new stuff in Movies it's what Shonen Movies do all the time. Super started with the retellings and went from there, but every arc has plot points that lead to the next arc, thus it has a better a plot structure than DBZ.

While Cell arc and Majin Buu arc come from a long running manga, belong to the same anime, and yet they don't connect to the previous arcs.

Since when Time Travel was a possibility?
Gero was gathering data of Goku and the others, since when? Because we never saw the device they used, until it appeared during Piccolo vs Cell fight. Convenient, eh?!
There's a God above Kaio that wants to take down Babidi and eliminate Buu?! That's great, why he didn't bother to stop Freeza? He was dangerous too.

Toriyama introduced new concepts from nowhere and we had to accept them.
A world without Dragon Ball is just meh.

Nazo Unleashed is the best DBZ fan animation series.

Thank God, I'm not the only one who thinks that. Seriously, from a fan animation done by a teenager in his spare time, it's damn well done.

For the record, the same guy who made that fan animation, is doing a direct sequel called The Wrath of Nazo set for a 2019 release.

IKR! Maybe its my nostalgia for it talking but it remains a damn fine emulation of the kind of action the Z portion is known for. Needless to say, I was freaking hyped when I saw a sequel was being made.... Until the 2019 release date :P

Seriously, what the actual fuck is this trend with people announcing things a whole epoch before they're gonna come out?!

The good thing about that release date is that he's taking his time. I'm sure the end result will be great for it. Much better option than him just rushing it out to meet the fans demand.

This is true, all of the animation he's shown off so far for it is borderline professional looking. I just hope Sega and/or Sonic Team don't hit him with a copyright strike and kill this whole project before it can get done.

Unlikely since Sega hired rom hackers to make Sonic Mania and to port over Sonic CD to phones but you never know with this stuff.

Dragon Ball Absalon is an OK fan animated show.
Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.

Agreed 8000%. Even if it doesn't directly use the characters in the actual franchise, it still manages to be better than any other animation I've seen with Goku, Vegeta, or anybody else from the series.

I actually think Rock music and DB from Z onwards do go well together... :shifty:

Once again, Nazo Unleashed used classic DBZ action with rock music to great effect!

Yes, as music videos, but I don't think rock music works as score.

I loved Nazo Unleashed when it was sitll coming out on newgrounds! I remember how excited I was when part 3 finally came out. My brother and I stopped everything we were doing to watch it.

I had no idea there was a sequel coming out. That's great! Judging from the trailer, the dude making it has still got it. Can't wait.

I like it to. I can't say for sure how much of it is nostalgia based for me, but I have a hard time hating it. Especially the movies.

Ah yes, the hype for part 3 was real. Reminds me of the good ol' days back when I was young and optimistic instead of the jaded bastard you all have to suffer through now :P
