If you're familiar with Ojamajo Doremi, another magical girl show, they had a sequel movie as well recently "aimed at adults." It didn't necessarily mean R18 but dealt with fans of the show having the show be a comfort to them in a more cruel modern day. It was quite meta and really inter...

Lol, I don't even really disagree with the idea of the thread, but that is a straaaaaaange post.

For what it's worth, I think the whole thing about Nozawa potentially, or straight up being re-casted as Goku during Z/23rd Budokai arc before fan outrage brought her back, has been a rumor among certain parts of the fandom for a long time, just given how controversial her performance is among the f...

Because Dragon Ball is a extremely well documented series, in large part due to this site, and something like that would be very public information that, as far as I know, no source has ever stated happen. It's not like he said, "They Brought In A New VA But Replaced Him Before They Recorded An...

I mean, that could all be true, or you can take the simple explanation which is more likely ... Togashi was a reader of Dragon Ball and took some ideas and designs and put his own spin on it. What's BL by the way? I was slightly off, it was just a shoujo series that had a lot of BL(Boy's Love) elem...

Hiei isn't inspired by Vegeta, design wise he was based off of a BL character, and role wise, in additions to rivals just being a common trope in every form of media, Hiei spends like one chapter being a villain before becoming an ally, whereas Vegeta spent nearly two arcs being a villain (and basic...

Still don't think I will ever understand the YYH and DB comparisons, though if you want a show that borders on just being YYH, Flame of Recca is 80 percent the same show as Dark Tournament arc YYH. Honestly of the action shounen I've seen, I really don't think any of them feel the same as DB, outsid...

Someone else in the thread said it, but the original Dragon Ball anime was a big one. I still like it just because, I'll always really like those story arcs and Toriyama's writing, but as an adaption, it's very hard for me to watch nowadays. It doesn't have the monstrous length of Z, but it the paci...

It seems like a weirdly aggressive post because something I said hurt your feelings. "Turn your brain off" is not understandable. Dragon ball being old isn't an excuse. You don't care? That's fine. Do you. First off, I am probably one of the last people who's gonna be hurt by someone sayi...

What are you saying? This thread is about how the writers "suck at writing women" Not that there is a biased agenda or conspiracy against them. You are too far into your feelings, bro. And besides, the females in this franchise are never as good at the few things character's in this franc...

I don't really see how that's the case with the Kale's design, everyone of all genders wears track shorts like those, if anything, it's a somewhat conservative design for those type of clothes. Yurin, I think that's just fairly traditional clothing, it's not really overt or anything, and personally ...

I hope anytime Goku loses his shirt in big fights is also edited out. A guys chest, with his pecs all out ? Too unproper.

It's almost cliche at this point, but it kinda goes without saying that a lot of left leaning people would tolerate right leaning people if the latter wasn't actively trying to take away the rights of racial, sexually, and gender minorities. For God's sake look at the abortion stuff that happened no...

This isn't exactly gone either, and even impacts parts of the LGBTQ. Most media for kids that have lgbtq couples generally learn on female lesbian or bi couples, rarely males. Despite stats on there being more FtM trans people than MtF, only MtF is massively raged on Transfemme's, as far as media a...

I think, as with a lot of things, there's a degree of nuance to this. You can love Vegeta as a character and not be toxic. You can dislike Nozawa's portrayal of Goku and not be toxic. It all depends on what motivates a person to have those opinions and how they express them. It's kinda like, say, t...

I mean to be honest, as someone who's unquestionably a fan of Nozawa and gets really annoyed with dub fans when it comes to her, I don't really think people disliking her voice is a example of toxic masculinity. There's a lot of misogyny charged insults when it comes to her, ditto with age, even see...

I really do think in like, 3-5 years, the love for the Faulconer score will really not be that much of a thing. Obviously it'll always have its fans, but as the Dragon Ball fandom is more and more comprised of English speaking fans who grew up with Kai, with the dub with the original score, or even ...

If this is one of your favorite arcs I'm not going to get derailed over this. Please answer about the other two, or don't. I mean...you can't just say that it actively did bad (the thesis of this thread basically) without any evidence and then just dismiss not having evidence about it. Anyway I thi...

Well Japan does have different gender norms/views then a place like America, I honestly wouldn't say that has much of an effect on why Dragon Ball in particular has weird things with female characters. Anime/Manga is actually one of the few mediums I think where it's extremely easy to find art creat...

3D anime is absolute and total garbage. It is such a disappointment to see Super Hero and Sand Land taking the 3D route. One of the major appeals of anime is it's beautiful animation, and now 3D is going to westernize and ruin it. DOWN with 3D. 2D FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
