Variety - "Crunchyroll Is Adding All Funimation Anime Content, Sony Starts to Phase Out Funimation Brand"

https://variety.com/2022/digital/news/crunchyroll-adds-funimation-anime-sony-1235192876/?sub_action=logged_in This definitely feels like the end of an era. Regardless of how you feel about their handling of the series, the FUNimation name has been associated with the US distribution of the series s...

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 106 - GT 21-25 (CURRENT WEEK)

I've had a week straight out of hell thus far, so very behind. Episode 21: What’s This?!! Goku Turned into a Metal Slab Positives: -I enjoyed the portion of the Goku/Rild fight where Goku travels up the pipe, very narrowly avoiding Rild'd "metal-ization" (why yes I did just invent a new wo...

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 105 - GT 16-20 (CURRENT WEEK)

Episode 20: Astonishing!! A Tidal Wave of Metal Attacks Goku Pan learns the definition of insanity. Positives: -The development Rild literally being the planet M2 leads to a lot of inventive and memorable moments in the fight this episode. The Rild fight overall continues to be one of GT's best.

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 105 - GT 16-20 (CURRENT WEEK)

Getting slightly ahead of myself since I haven't gotten to the Goku/Rilldo fight yet, but I personally don't see the issue with him being stronger than Boo. This might sound cynical but, if anything, it'd be weird if he wasn't . Every Dragon Ball villain is somehow stronger than the last. That's jus...

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 104 - GT 11-15 (CURRENT WEEK)

Ironically enough, I was slightly behind myself because of irl stuff. Episode 15: I’m Running Away!! Pan’s Desertion?! Of all the episodes of Dragon Ball GT, this was definitely one of them. Positives: -Visually, this episode is gorgeous. I love how textured the sand is, and the greener skies as the...

Watched 12 yesterday but didn't have time to write up thoughts, so here's 2 for the price of 1. Episode 12: The Oracle of God is Super-Annoying!! Lood Maneuvers Positives: -The first half of the fight with Mutchi is pretty alright, I like the incorporation of the swords, Mutchi's whip abilities, the...

Aaaand we're back! Episode 11: Lood’s Curse?! Pan Turned into a Doll Positives: -One of my biggest issues with GT has always been how Toei rather consistently used Pan, the first female fighting character to remain a consistent member of the core cast, as a "damsel in distress", and of cou...

Episode 9: Oh, Crap!! Goku Plunges into a Trap Planet?! I actually really enjoyed this one! The only negative I had was I found it odd that Mucchi Mocchi knew about the Dragon Balls, but the trivia points out he probably knows because of the Namekian DBs, so, that clears that up I guess. Positives:...

Episode 8: Even Goku Gets Hit!! Full-Force Whisker Power Didn't have as much to say about this one, tbh.

Re: Selecta Visión Dragon Ball Z Blu-ray

Watched the comparison video. Ya know what? Color me impressed, I'm actually kind of looking forward to this. I was concerned that this wouldn't look as promising in motion as the stills did but, this looks pretty solid. There were like, 1 or 2 shots that had minor issues, but I think this should sc...

It’s only 1 episode and nicely paced, the location is a relatively unique concept as far as Dragon Ball goes (and considering what's coming up, the originality is certainly apprec...

Re: Why Won’t Toei, Bandai, etc. Release the SDBH Anime West, Again?

I mean, the Heroes "anime" is quite literally just an extended commercial. It makes little sense to distribute it in a place where the product being advertised isn't available.

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

I'm gonna guess that Goku is probably barely in this. A) We've only seen him in scenes on Beerus' world. B) This takes place 2 years before EoZ (AGE 782), which means that, unless Toriyama disregards continuity, Bulma and Goku can't see one another, and Aya Hisakawa is listed in the cast, so Bulma's...

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 102 - GT 1-5 (CURRENT WEEK)

I reiterate what's already been said, Trunks/Pan as a romantic pairing is gross. The very clear age gap between them is too big. Episode 5: Finding a Strong Guy!!
