Toonami doing Kai marathon in honor of Toriyama

https://x.com/ToonHive/status/1767260662453903849?s=20 Pretty cool although some people wanted classic Z episodes. And also, I feel like dedicating all of Toonami to Dragon Ball would've been better with random episodes of Dragon Ball, Z, GT, Kai, and Super. But hey, it's better than nothing and pro...

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.

Nice to see that seemingly in light of the news, Wikipedia finally updated Toriyama's picture from him sitting kind of less dignified (not like that's an issue, though) like a giddy kid at the SJ American launch TO him in his late 20s smiling wide in a more dignified black and white photo similar to...

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.

Is it just me or did Stan Lee not even get this big of a reaction after his passing? I never thought Akira Toriyama's death would impact people more than the guy who helped create Spider-Man and revolutionize Marvel overall.

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.

I don't think its at all an exaggeration at this point to cite Toriyama as one of the single most influential and globally impactful Japanese Manga artists of all time. Top 5 without question, alongside Osamu Tezuka, Go Nagai, and Leiji Matsumoto. No doubt about that. Shotaro Ishinomori, Runiko Tak...

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.

I just want to say that seeing the world mourn Toriyama together is really beautiful. Toriyama and what he did with Dragon Ball (and his other works) really brought people together to the point where POLITICAL LEADERS (French president and probably more) are coming out and expressing grief and grati...

Re: Dragon Ball Z - Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans Remastered BD petition

Dude, I feel you. I've been a very vocal supporter of this special and the Yo! Son Goku and Episode of Bardock specials getting dubbed, but at this point, I think too much time has passed and Crunchyroll just doesn't care about them. I mean, we did get that weird One Piece x Toriko x Dragon Ball spe...

How would you introduce Dragon Ball to Gen Alpha?

As I've gotten older (turning 27 this year), I realize there are now kids born the year BoG (2013) and Super (2015) released/started who are now 11 and 9. There's a whole era of kids born AFTER Beerus, Whis, and all the new concepts were introduced. So, I got to thinking, how would I introduce kids ...

Underrated dub contributions

So, the dub is kind of like a hot topic on this forum (in many cases, for good reason). But I want to focus on positive things that have come from the dub. I have four in particular that come, specifically from Chris Sabat (two from Kai, two from Super). Kai #1. Redubbing "It's Over 9000!"...

Re: Dragon Ball 2024 Predictions

3. The manga might get a re-release from Viz to commemorate Dragon Ball's 40th anniversary, but it might be a basic re-release and not the Kanzenban releases I want. They might release a translated version of that 2016 30th anniversary book Japan got. Forgot to mention that I also don't think we'll...

Dragon Ball 2024 Predictions

Well, it's that time again. 2023 is over so what do you guys think 2024 will bring for Dragon Ball outside of the things we already know like Xenoverse 2/FighterZ/Kakarot getting ports/updates, Daima coming, Super manga continuing, and Sparking Zero. Here's mine: 1. Crunchyroll re-releases OG Remast...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

The idea of Coleen Clinkenbeard voicing Kid Goku for an entire series makes me want to throw up. I think I'll be avoiding the English dub like the plague. Really? In my opinion, that's one of the things that excites me the most. We've never really gotten a chance to hear Colleen's full range as Kid...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

I really hope when Crunchyroll dubs this that they actually cast younger voice actors for the kid characters. I always hated how Sabat voiced Kid Vegeta and Vegeta Jr. I much preferred Kai having Laura Bailey voice Kid Vegeta since she also voiced Kid Trunks. I'm cringing at the thought of Cynthia C...

Would you say it's too early to start saying goodbye to Beerus, Whis, and all the characters Super has introduced in the last 7 or so years? Well, Beerus and Whis kickstarted the new era of Dragon Ball with BoG and that movie turned 10 this year. So, honestly, I don't mind giving them and especiall...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

Something I forgot to mention is how I found it amusing that the first leak of the Daima footage came from an average fan shouting and lamenting that there was no Super 2, which contrasts with what many of the elitist fans are like on this forum. Those same elitist fans were forced to watch the foot...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

Hopefully, this gets a physical home release instead of being streaming only. I could totally see shitty Crunchyroll keeping this exclusive to their service. If they do release it physically, I could see it being called Dragon Ball Daima: Wish One instead of Part One or Set One. But that's just me. ...
