Kanzenshuu

I’ve been basically grieving for the past 2-3 days. Couldn’t even do anything I usually do. I didn’t even dare listen to any DB song/opening. I was just checking out people, famous mangaka etc. on twitter paying their respects to Toriyama. Checking various sites but mostly the sticky thread on /a/ w...

Do you remember any timeslots Kohavision aired Dragon Ball on? Was it shown weekdays or weekends? Did Z or GT ever air? Man that's a long time ago but I'm pretty sure it was aired daily in the mornings. There were only 3 main channels RTK(National Government channel), KTV/Kohavision and RTV21. Z an...

As per VegettoEX , Movie 14 would happen with or without Toriyama, so I think by now Toriyama can't say "no" anymore to whatever project they decide to do. Without Toriyama's approval DB Super would have completely flopped like GT did. His name alone fooled many into giving Super Manga/An...

Toriyama's loose reign over the story has the disadvantage of anyone making their own version, It's why the Abridged series worked out, and its popularity means it can be considered canon (and in some respects it is actually funnier than what Toriyama came up with). I cringed so hard. TFS is not ca...

I took that scene as "I'm actually not interested in being a fucking perv like these two", not as "I'm not interested in spying on naked girls, therefore I must be gay" Pretty much this. Trunks is a very stereotypical "handsome"(Kakoii)-type character from the 80s and ...

For those that don't know the Albanian Dragon Ball dub by "Jess" Discographic is notorious for being produced illegally without a license from TOEI. This dub, based off Funimation's version was recorded between 2005 and 2016, although it's not the only attempt at dubbing Dragon Ball in Al...

RIP to this unforgettable legend.
Hopefully he's in a better place now.

Bleach and Burn the Witch Lol what is this 2010? Nobody cares about Bleach or Kubo's new series. People would rather read Togashi's napkin scribbles. I don’t quite understand this bizarre trend of fans saying Dragon Ball wouldn’t hold up to modern shonen anime and then simp over unwatchable garbage...

Honestly I don't believe DB (Pre-DBZ, not the whole manga) could survive in nowadays Weekly Shonen Jump. There's barely anything impressive about it. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahaha. Oh man this has got to be one of the dumbest things I've ever read in my life. Have yo...

Matsui Aya is the only female writer that we know of to have worked on the cartoon series. None of the series directors have been women, either, and only one of the episode directors--Ishitani Megumi--was a woman and that was for the last episode of Super (save for uncredited work as an assistant e...

chichi lle allowed goten to train for the money ... with gohan too... in buu arc ... they were all dead and she couldn't do anything gohan doesn't even train for the 7 years No, she trained Goten before that and allowed him to fight with Trunks all the time. She would have never allowed Gohan to do...

is the excuse that she has always had since z .... The argument of chichi training to goten is irrelevant ... since someone as weak as her is not able to teach her much .. goten didn't even know how to fly because from the battle with cell ... and the subsequent one with buu goku realized that he w...

When I think about his character, it's through an anime lense, so I picture him as being the falsely-grumpy uncle of the family. Nothing worse. No, that's literally what he is by Cell/Boo. AT just changed him drastically even though it doesn't makes sense continuity-wise whatsoever and the audience...

You replying to that Original Post just reminded me of how well those points were expressed. I had forgotten. "the narrative bends over so nobody has an issue with him" I think this encapsules the main issue. Yes, Vegeta was evil and he didn't try that much to pretend he wasn't. What is b...

It's ridiculous how the author interprets the word "disastrous" in such a one-dimensional manner. Yes, Goku is a disastrous father as in an incompetent one. Just because he means well(and even succeeds at times) doesn't make him not disastrous and vice-versa just because he's disastrous do...

Seriously this happens on both the Cell and Buu arcs. He spends the whole Cell arc either being apathetic or beating up Future Trunks. He punches him when he Trunks tries to stop him from charging his death,tells him to his face he would not care if his wife and kid died(and he backs it up by even ...

I understand the criticism that's brought up against Cell and Buu, but they still offered great content and character development that enhanced the the manga's overall story. The Cell arc gave us Ssj2 Gohan and someone other than Goku saving the day. Future Trunks and his timeline were among the fe...

Wasn't the Albanian dub (the one that the DB International Guide spreadsheet lists as aired on "Bang Bang" and "Cufo") in its entirety a bootleg that at some points blatantly used online encodes and ended up mixing in music in weird placements or something? I wouldn't be surpris...

Well, you shouldn't compare EEnE's squigglevision technique with Funi's shitty releases because EEnE's technique actually looks great and is meant to simulate the whole "animation by mistake" of old.
Comparing it to Funi's shitty releases sounds insulting, just saying

For my money DB went to shit after Freeza and never recovered. Cell saga was the worst arc in the series and pretty much killed whatever future the series could have possibly had by being a massive slap in the face to long time fans in the worst way possible. Boo saga was a little better but still j...
