Re: How would you introduce Dragon Ball to Gen Alpha?

Viz has issues but I don't think Wazzup Bro is that indicative of their issues, unless I'm just totally missing something, and I know people like Herms have always said it's a perfectly fine, and frequently good translation.

Re: What's your musical preference?

I geuninely listen to everything, any sort of genre, besides most metal stuff, though I certainly find that stuff very interesting. I listen to a lot of alt rock, especially stuff on the more noise or shoegaze side, I love a lot of 90s gangsta rap as well as modern day hip hop, and everything Kanye ...

Re: Inclusivity towards women in Dragon Ball?

already said the term Karen is misogynistic, and that I don't like it. TERF is gender neutral as well, though primarily used with women, so I don't see the relevance too what I said.

Re: Inclusivity towards women in Dragon Ball?

I mean, I don't think anyone here would ever say they were kill TERFS in the streets, that's a bit much, but TERFS and other Transphobes do perpetrate a society that, has a lot of violence directed towards Trans People. I am trans myself, and I long since have been the victim of sexual and phsyical ...

Re: Inclusivity towards women in Dragon Ball?

Karen isn't a slur but it's prety undeniable misogynistic, and another good example of people covering up misogyny by dressing it up as White Women. There's a ton different terms for white people who fear anything outside their backyard, having one just for women and the context being a lot time, th...

Re: Inclusivity towards women in Dragon Ball?

I think there's a decent amount of anime where characters races are pretty non descriptive, and a lot of people default too white, imo is kinda stupid, but with something like Dragon Ball, it being a east asian story is pretty woven into it's DNA (not to mention Toriyama's tendency to draw all the S...

Re: Inclusivity towards women in Dragon Ball?

I don't know if I'd say extremely common by the 90s, the 3 other long running Toei shoujo adaptations around that time (Marmalade Boy, Neighborhood Story and Boys Over Flowers), all had primarily female script writers (Aya Matsui and Yumi Kugimiya did all 3, before Reiko Yoshida the GOAT joined for ...

Re: One Piece Remake, fans are so lucky...

Took a whole decade for them to make it! Still haven't seen Cosmos, though it seems solid. Like I said Eternal was pretty good, and I think Stars is just a better arc then dream. Hope it gets a official release soon, I've been watching PGSM recently, and I will take any opportunity to spend money o...

Re: One Piece Remake, fans are so lucky...

Manga Sailor Moon is peak media, always has been, shame Toei was so much of a mess around that time, I quite like Crystal S3 and the Eternal film, but it definitely doesn't do justice to a series that for both the original anime and manga, had such a amazing and influential look too it. But the musi...

Re: Lack of Dragon Ball on Spotify

I don't have a full answer, but it's worth noting that a lot of the official releases of the original two anime OST's are on Spotify, but only on certain regions. This happens a fair amount with Spotify, I imagine it's mainly a rights issue with labels, but yeah, it's not fully unavailable. https://...

Re: One Piece Remake, fans are so lucky...

I honestly really don't think General Blue is that bad in the manga, I think he's a really fun and memorable character and a highlight of the RRA arc, he's probably the best villain in it next to Tao Pai Pai and Murasaki, and well yeah he definitely has stereotypes too him, I really don't think it c...

Re: If faced with the choice of sacrificing the franchise's massive popularity

Yes, anyday of the week, I actually can't imagine I would say no to this. I love Dragon Ball, but as a series it's not exactly irreplaceable, and stuff like inaccurate dubs and weird DVD releases is generally a detriment to my time in the fandom. Removing those, in addition to the fandom just being ...

Re: Piracy in Draon Ball... And other things

I think Z is probably the one I hear the most for, "Oh I normally watch anime subbed, but Dragon Ball is an exception!" and I think a lot of it is just, Dragon Ball as a series is a lot of people's first anime, whether it was thru the ocean cast, toonami, video games, kai, etc. So for a lo...

The full colored editions are super nice, I love how big they are and the paper quality is really nice, but I think the digital coloring, well obviously understandable, is kinda ugly, and I'd rather just read it in black and white. Maybe not the tankobons though, that quality is a little rough and y...
