The Blue Bricks still seem to be the 'gold standard' at the moment. Occasionally you come across Blue Bricks that are low-priced and region-free, but that makes the chance of them being bootlegs quite high. I didn’t buy them, because you might end up with issues that are even worse than the ...

There's a contemporary review that brings up the audio issues: https://www.myreviewer.com/DVD/166209/Dragon-Ball-Season-5/166263/Review-by-Jitendar-Canth

The quality slips a tad in this final collection, with the Japanese audio in episode 129 severely afflicted by intermittent distortion and ...

I’ve been holding off on doing a full rewatch of the original Dragon Ball series for a long time, hoping for a proper HD Blu-ray release. Since that still doesn’t seem to be happening anytime soon, I decided to pick up the DVDs instead.

As I’m based in Europe and the “Blue Bricks” are Region 1 only ...

I know it's a long shot, but does anyone think it's possible that during The Galactic Patrol anime's release, they'll finally adapt and anime the Jaco manga???



Last year, TOEI announced that they would be investing in expansions of their staff, not only within Japan but also in other parts of ...

In terms of property Toriyama is immortal. Even if the DBS manga continues, I think the overall label of the franchise will be “based on the work of Akira Toriyama” rather than “story by Toyotaro.” That isn’t entirely in line with the principle of “credit where credit is due,” but I predict that ...

Beerus: 6
Golden Freeza: 6
U6: 6
Zamasu: 12
TOP: 12

Zamasu arc is the most 'complex' arc of Super and needs the episodes for plot and character development.
TOP is mainly fighting, and therefore can be condensed a lot.

I do like that we’re getting versions of these arcs that combine the “best of both worlds.”

I really want this to be true, but I'm worried it will still be 90% anime remaster and maybe 10% of manga stuff. Things like GoD Clash that was in the manga but not in the anime would take a lot of ...

It's not a remake, guys. The series is still the same as it was, only some shots/scenes will be reanimated and edited. Don't expect something done from the ground up with all the bells and whistles. It's not that.



Old scenes are reused (as a base). The project features extensive new cuts ...

There’s only one word to describe this: FINALLY.
Seeing a thread of hundreds of pages, where the actual announcement was missing, and which eventually got locked due to lack of relevant news… well, it was definitely about time.

Why did it take so long for Super 2.0? I think it’s a combination of ...

What's the confusing part? People who don't follow the comic aren't going to be confused...because they aren't reading the comic. The 2015 television series transitions clearly to the two films released since then.



If they were to make a new film now, following Super Hero, in which Goku ...

Above all, there is one thing we really should have learned since 2019: Super will return when it returns, and that’s that. Rumors remain just that—rumors—and they are unreliable until they are confirmed by an official announcement. Because of that, I wouldn’t get my hopes up too high, nor would I ...

Personally, I never had an issue with the retellings in the Super anime, aside from the animation. There were several episodes that actually added some fun extras to the film stories. And there is even more reason to start Super 2.0 with a retelling. Toriyama had written a more extensive script for ...

Nozawa will turn 90 next year. If they still plan to do the Super anime with her — or at least start the first part of the sequel with her — then, using simple logic, you'd have to conclude that they can't afford to wait beyond next year.

That aside, would they really put Nozawa through recording ...

To me, "canon" encompasses everything related to the main storyline (which is still ongoing). This includes the original Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z manga and anime (up to GT), the Dragon Ball Super manga and anime, all the most recent films, and side manga that belong to the core continuities ...

Apparently, at Japan Expo, Toyotarou presented a completely original manga titled Lost Samurai, with no mention of Dragon Ball Super. Source: French YouTuber Saiyko Devin – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgkCL98xHA0

It also seemed rather unlikely to me, especially considering Toriyama's recent ...

So far, we have no confirmation that Daima takes place in a separate continuity. That is purely speculation at this point. It could still go in any direction. There are still nearly four years between Daima and Battle of Gods. If Daima gets a second season or a movie, that could be enough to smooth ...

I have always loved the fan art of SSJ5. Maximum Saiyan Instinct (SSJ4) combined with Ultra Instinct—it makes sense to create the ultimate Saiyan warrior. At first glance, the two forms may seem contradictory, but perhaps there is a way to achieve a kind of exceptional state or combat mode where the ...

That said, in principle, there is one main anime timeline—the one that the original author, Toriyama, was involved in. I don’t see the need for a second, separate main anime timeline that contradicts the first.


Toriyama created Dragon Ball, but he does not encompass it. My breakdown is not ...

Storyline canon (different timelines)
Within the franchise, different storylines connect to form coherent timelines:
1. The main manga timeline (Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Super manga by Toriyama & Toyotarou).
2. The main anime timeline (Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, and Dragon Ball Super anime ...
