Re: Super Episode 13 (04 October 2015)

So, getting back to Super - why is the art not that good? I get the style is different (skinnier characters, etc), but the proportions being off is a consistent thing, particularly around their eyes. They're not even with each other (particularly when drawn with the character at a 45º turn, & t...

Re: Super's pacing compared to DBZ and Kai

I don't use BoG as a frame of reference because all of the Z movies are rushed & poorly written with no character development. Basically an animated fighting game... No character development? I'll just go with BoG, but in the movie alone, Goku develops in 3 ways: 1. Goku understands that what h...

Re: Super's pacing compared to DBZ and Kai

I'm certainly in the minority, but I love a slow-burn story as long as it develops the characters. I.e. - I loved Gohan being in the wilderness for 8-10 episodes in Z. IMO, Super feels rushed so far. I'd like to see it somewhere between where it is and the pace of A Z (which was definitely TOO slow ...

Re: Cheesy Funimation Lines

But you picked what's more or less simple exposition, it doesn't capture the true flavor of DB. Of course exposition is going to come across as dry. The counter examples you chose aren't much better and mostly just gild the lily. so it's a pretty safe assumption that it's accurate. I didn't say it ...

Hilarious fan-sub lines

There's plenty of (IMO justified) hate for the Funi dub, but for those of us old enough to remember, some of the fan subs missed the mark just as much, and mischaracterized just as bad as Funi does (often to more hilarious if slightly less cringe-worthy effect - I.e. The polite and composed Freeza s...

to say that it's the only other side of this conversation is, quite honestly, rather ignorant. 1. The original poster was clearly referring to Funimation's "version" of the character & not the Son that was portrayed in the movies (which was also bad) 2. I respect your contributions bo...

There is no "heroic" Goku as referred to in this thread. What's really being asked is "do you prefer what was shat out after Funi screwed the pooch with their hack job "dub" designed solely to pander to the lowest common denominator, or do you prefer the way Toriyama wrote t...

Re: Gohan theory

The point of Elder Kaioshin's ritual was to draw out all of Gohan's latent potential, and make the entirety of his power accessible in his base level. Because of this, SSJ became completely superfluous. That we agree on. I just feel that gohan could have gone SSJ, but because he was at his max, he ...

Re: Gohan theory

So by that logic, base Goku (or anyone else) charging up ki to go from a relaxed state to combat-ready is the same as transforming & they turn it on/off. That's exactly what he's doing: charging-up his Mystic power. This is not just my opinion, this is fact. Did you not look at the examples I p...

Re: Gohan theory

I don't think you're understanding me? Gohan does need to consciously 'charge up' his Mystic state(I provided 2 different examples of him doing so.) This means he isn't always walking around with that level of power. ie. he can turn it on/off as needed. So by that logic, base Goku (or anyone else) ...

Re: Gohan theory

But how is that different than just charging up ki in base form? My point is that (while he charges up to increase ki output like everyone in base form does), it's not a transformation - or at least there's nothing to indicate that it is. I'm not saying Gohan's Mystic state is a transformation, per...

Re: Gohan theory

If he could go SSJ on top of his Ultimate form, he would have against Gotenks Buu. Also, you have to check his eyes for when he is transformed or not. Through out RoF, he was at base because his eyes were round next to his eyebrows. When he is Ultimate, his eyes become angular. Outside of that, it'...
