Re: Bandai Namco New Dragon Ball Project 2016
Everyone is missing the bigger picture here. Assuming it is Xenoverse 2, the first game was all about distortions in time causing alternate events of DBZ scenarios where the villains won. All the characters, with the exception of DLC ones, featured as part of that story, hence why characters like ...

Re: Dragon Box Kickstarter - Would you fund it?
I don't do Kickstarters for anyone. The success to failure ratio is too low. The real to scam ratio is even lower. And it's not honestly something I'd imagine seeing FUNi doing or needing to do.
Still, if all options for getting those Movies and DB Boxsets are exhausted, I'd pay the MSRP for a box ...

Re: When did the Super Saiyan stop becoming sacred for you?
I'd say I stopped caring when Vegeta, Trunks, and Goku did it all in a row during Rock the Dragon.

Re: For those that watched the dub AND sub before reading ma
I usually default to FUNi voices, but with Goku I always seem to default to hearing Applejack's voice instead of Schemmel's. Am I doing something wrong?

Re: Favorite Inaccurate Dub.
Consistently I pick Early FUNi (including Ocean and S3) for 90's So Bad It's Good comedy, FUNi Redub for an alternate take on the show, and Big Green for max lulz.
Still, it is interesting to note that the very notion of an inaccurate dub has become so past tense we can now enjoy this older stuff ...

Re: Thoughts on Raditz
He had serious potential. Unfortunately, Grand Elder Toriyama decided not to unleash it and just give it to Goku as always.
Actually, if I had to write a survivor Z-Fighter Raditz, I'd make him a parody of Vegeta, talking about how awesome and powerful the Saiyans are, how you're totally screwed to ...

Re: New or Old animation
One look at Yukio Ebisawa's episodes (at least the parts he worked on and not the stand-in) can defeat this argument instantly. Animators will always cut corners, especially on a minuscule Japanese anime budget.

Re: How will FUNimation screw up "Frost"?
Some part of me wonders how many people come here just to rag on FUNimation like it's 1999. I think we have a new consensus these days.

Re: Correlation between purchasing/owning & increased knowle
I don't even read YouTube comments. I just YT the scenes when I need a quick fix of Dragon Ball. :roll:
I do, however, notice some trends. A disturbing number of clips I find are of the FUNimation Dub with replacement music score. More specifically, and I think this may be the root of the problem ...

Re: Darkton's Cell Arc Time-Travel Flowchart!
What kind of sleeping giant have I inadvertently unleashed?!
At this point my time-travel theory has condensed to something much simpler: The Cell Arc is badly written, Toriyama didn't think about it that hard, why should we?

I've always been under the impression that Super Saiyan 3 and Super Saiyan Blue were forms Goku invented on his own, if his line about "practicing this form" is any indication. It seems at least the dub of RF implied this was the case with the latter, though, when Goku says "Long story short, I ...
