Kanzenshuu

Never knew before, but I guess aside from acting there might not have been that much to even look forward to.

Better actors, specific music that isn't stolen, almost certainly better-written scripts...


(BTW, I realize you're no longer a regular here, but I wonder if you have time for one ...

Now wait just a minute here...
With all this talk of alternate OP's, BGM, and whatnot... was there ever going to be an uncut version of this dub?

There's no reason to believe there was going to be – except that SubZeroIce claimed there was some consideration put into it. But, given it was (as ...

If someone was able to include clips in a show-reel, then logically some footage must have left Ocean's vaults. Of course, that footage could literally have just been the opening titles.

I mean. Ocean has it. It's not lost media in the sense that, say, London After Midnight is lost. It's "lost ...

Well, here we are.

The end of the journey.

Thanks for taking it with us, it's been a joy.

The Kanzenban ending of the manga has the narrator say that "there will still be various troubles, no different than before". Oh how right he was...
Episode 1 - The first Daima ...

Only one episode left after this!

It's been a joy and a pleasure to do this again (even if I had to miss a couple of weeks), and particularly it's been so refreshing to have new Dragon Ball that's actually good.

Anyway, onward!

It's that time again!

And I'm back on the horse, collaborating with KBABZ as usual. :)

Man Episode 18 was great. Like, holy shit, right?

Anyway, onward...

Guys, are you alright? haven't seen this thread updated lately. Hope everything is ok.

Yeah, we're fine. Sorry about the radio silence.

Basically, it's like this—it takes a long while for us to talk back and forth over each week's trivia; several hours per episode with all the fact-checking and ...

Extra Trivia - Episode 1 Boo Arc Clips

As part of covering the dub trivia for Episode 1, KBABZ decided to go the extra mile and compare every conceivable version of all the Boo Arc dialogue viewed by Gomah and Degesu. This includes... inhales deeply the ViZ manga translation, the Dragon Ball Z ...

We're at it again!

Man I love this show. Don't you? I can't quite believe we've finally got properly good Dragon Ball again! Even if the show doesn't stick the landing, it's at least good!

That already exists. It's the Dragon Ball Wiki.

It still kills me slowly anytime I have to use that for research because Kanzenshuu's wiki doesn't exist yet >_<

Well, it does exist , it's just private until it's Just Right .

That shade-throwing aside, onward to trivia!!

Episode 1 ...

The wish to erase people's memories from Majin Buu happens on September, four months after Majin Buu saga. If that was the only wish made, then it means Dragon Ball Daima occurs at some point between September, AGE 774 and January AGE 775.

According to the Daizenshuu.

According to the show ...

Being fudgy with the dates isn't anything new of course, given the Red Ribbon Arc indirectly contradicts the mechanics of the titular Dragon Balls by not giving them enough time to recharge!

True!

IIRC the gap between the first and second wishes is 8 months?... and that's not accounting for the ...

Depending on when you place Majin Buu saga, the timeskip can't be "only a few months", especially if you go by the guidebooks and place it on May.

Daima takes place during the time the Dragon Balls were still stone after the wish to make everyone forget about Majin Boo.

Which, it must be ...

I wonder if, in a few decades or centuries, there'll be the Dragon Ball equivalent of Geoffrey of Monmouth (the guy who gave us a good chunk of what became pop culture fact about King Arthur and Camelot, among many other insights into Medieval misconceptions about Great Britain's own history) who ...

Ultimately, I would say that the actual events of Daima and Super don't seem to be compatible, even if they continue the trend of taking the same world and telling new stories in it.

This is going to be a VERY wild guess, but it could be that any elements from Super that are appearing again in ...

Personally, the way I see it is that the lore and worldbuilding from Super is largely being assumed as true, but that the stories themselves don't matter. So like, Gowasu exists, but as far as Zamas is concerned, it's a big ol' shrug. He probably just doesn't exist in this timeline, but if he does ...

Well, the problem with Super is that even the main storyline episodes were badly-written. So having the same team write completely-original material – particularly with the problems you laid out, with limited budget and time – is going to turn out bad.

IMO there is a deeper discussion to be had about the varying quality of adaptation-original material, vs material taken from the source.

But I think you need to start from a place more nuanced than "filler sucks"

Hell, even the word "filler" is loaded because traditionally "filler" is synonymous ...

KBABZ and I had a lot to say to each other when discussing this episode, but this might be the smallest trivia lump of Daima (which is to say – still lots of it, and all very high-quality, because KBABZ is really good at this).

The thing we mainly discussed in regards to this episode is that it ...
