Re: Funi's Kai dub and accuracy

Although, there's really no rationale for things like "Makankosappo", which approximates as “Demon Piercing Light Kill Cannon” other than anything about death was taboo in the Saban dub, and the "Special" part is misleading because nothing about the attack validates the term, so...

In addition, there will also be fully stocked hotels and restaurants available at the park to enable fans to immerse themselves in the world of Dragon Ball for an entire day of fun. I hope there's some Dragon Ball themed food in those restaurants like 7 Falafel Dragon Balls... https://encrypted-tbn...

If I recall correctly, that was because Arait Multimedia (the distributor of Kai in whole Spain at that time) was unable to make a deal with any TV station from Madrid.

Re: Dragon Ball Z Kai is getting a Castilian dub

Good to know there will be another Kai dub to follow along.

It may be a little late but they're lucky because they're likely to get the original Japanese version as source for their dub instead of the edited FUNi dub shown on Nicktoons we've got as source for our Kai dub.

Re: "Sparking! ZERO" Official Announcement & Pre-Release Discussion Thread

Watched the gameplay showcase. Here are my thoughts: * The battle looked amazing. It's smooth. It's intense. It's sparking! * The HUDs look horrible. I share Noah 's opinion about them looking outdated and taking a good portion of the upper screen. * It seems there will be just one OST worldwide rat...

Re: SS3 Vegeta

I want to believe he did transform once (off-screen like he initially was in SSJ) but found the transformation not worthy because of the extreme Ki taxing and not suitable for his battle style.

Re: Dragon Ball and Centrism disguised as "A Desire for works to stop being political"

Even something as simple as the hair color of Super Saiyans was a product of the external politics of creating a weekly manga. Toriyama claimed he made it golden blonde to save time that he or his assistant would have to spend inking the hair black so they could have a more efficient work schedule....

It was also the DB series that whose Japanese premiere date was on Toriyama's birthday (05-04-2009)

Re: Show your homage and appreciation for Akira Toriyama - thread

Thanks to Dragon Ball: I was introduced to drawing Akira Toriyama was my first influence. He was one of the reasons why I decided drawing as my main hobby and even inspired me (along with other artists and aesthetics) to find and develop my own art style. Like many people, I've drawn his characters ...

Re: Dragon Ball Without Its Creator

I wonder if Toriyama left some notes to Toyotaro and Toei in case this happened. Maybe some guidelines about what to do after Daima.

Man, it really worries me about how Dragon Ball would be like now without Toriyama's artistic and narrative input.
