Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

Toei has already announced Akuma-kun and while the old iteration of that aired on TV Asahi, it is possible the new one will take Digimon's spot in October on Fuji TV.

Re: How relatable is Vegeta?

Well the dudebros find him insanely relatable. Just look at all those shirts with his edgy lines and shit lol. And, also a very important fact is he gets the hot girl thanks to his hyper masculinity. On a positive note though, I think him working hard and still not being able to surpass Goku kind of...

Re: Is it fair to say that Dragon Ball is no longer marketed to kids in North America?

Dragon Ball isn't aimed at kids peroid anymore. Hence why Toei don't have to put a show on air to make DB relevant anymore they have established fans that aren't going anywhere. Back in Kai days more or less all the merch was aimed at kids but nowadays it's all aimed at the adult fans, heck the one...

Re: Should fans write for official products ?

The reactions were mixed to negative from what I saw on 4ch and some of the blogs I read. The hardcore fans' reactions were pretty similar to here in the English speaking fanbase. They had same issues with the story and characters and by the time ToP happened, interest had dwindled a lot although pa...

Re: “There is nothing to learn from Dragon Ball,” says Akira Toriyama’s editor, Kazuhiko Torishima

This just sounds like an artist trying to dodge responsibility for their work. Granted Torishima isn't the artist, but he played a pivotal part in the creation of DB and even Toriyama has said things like this in the past which kind of sucks. No wonder you see so many fans use this exact same excuse...

Re: How would you compare Dragon Ball’s revival to something like Star Wars?

Disney media frustratingly dominates the cultural conversation like nothing else so its hard for DB to compare which is pretty big by all metrics, but can't compete on that level cause sadly 'Merica and its media is still the centre of the world. Both do exploit nostalgia in the shallowest ways poss...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

Yeah there is literally no way a DB TV series is happening unless Toei is planning to collapse to the ground. There's 5 projects in production currently. It is kind of like 2014 all over again. Still, interested to know what will replace Kitaro though.

Re: Rumor: Disney Developing New Live-Action Dragon Ball Movie With Asian Cast

Bane isn’t a revolutionary. He’s an extension of the bad guys from Batman Begins. TDKR was written before Occupy Wall Street even happened. It wasn’t meant to be some statement on how capitalism is awesome and revolutionaries are evil. The movie wasn’t suggesting that poor people suck. Again, one o...

Does it? I think so. Shapiro and his goons are certainly one of those that I had in mind, but I have also seen enough people on Twitter champion these films and one look at their bio tells me everything that I want to know about their ideology. Facebook is even worse. Christopher Nolan is not a rig...

Re: Most well developed characters in the franchise?

Mr.Satan. It is one of the reasons why the Majin Boo arc is my favorite in the whole series. It is remarkable how well done it is and I don't find that much in Dragon Ball. Boo being humanized by a selfish coward, but an ultimately good person at heart is just amazing. I'm a sucker for that kind of ...

Honestly while I don't believe this article, if it were true Disney is the studio I would trust to make a live action Dragon Ball movie work. They have a fantastic track record with Star Wars and the MCU. As long as they have the right directors, writers, actors, composer, etc and a good budget for...

I haven't seen Broli. I have not even finished watching Super since I put it on hold during the ToP cause of how painfully boring it was.
