To play devil's advocate, what's the difference between your idea and retro junk? Just the emphasis on anime?

You guys can praise Chi-chi for being "strong" until the cows come home, doesn't change the fact that the only fight she's shown in she's immediately defeated by a breeze. After which, she forces a man into marrying her.

I can sort of understand why one would think this way, as characters with Y-chromosomes are ascendant and more influential on the plot. However, one must understand that Dragon Ball is a shōnen (boys') series and that this is conventional and not seen as politically incorrect. No, no, no... no. You...

Bulma: Girl who tried to persaude young boy into giving her a priceless artifact and only keepsake from his grandpa with a chance to touch her panties. Frequently resorts to slutty tactics to get what she wants or avoid danger. Unless she's off-screen creating something, she's never more than a lia...

Keep in mind the guy's asking about Goku's potential as a martial artist by real world standards. Saying Goku's martial arts skills have improved because of his proficiency with chi is like saying Harry Potter's a great marksman because he's good at using Expeliarmus. Also, "Janken" doesn'...

Goku is not a martial artist. He is a fighter. If he ever was a martial artist prior to his introduction, he abandoned the practice by the time he's shown up to the viewer. Goku's self training consists entirely of physical conditioning. His formal training consists entirely of physical conditioning...

I think... - The introduction of the Saiya-jin and Raditz, including retconning most fantasy elements into sci-fi, was a real shark jumping moment. - Discussions about canon, power levels, and "what if" scenarios are a massive waste of time. - Toriyama handles the progression of the majori...

I don't see anything mentioned in the original article about violence... The new bill, Bill 156, essentially stipulates all sexual acts that would be illegal in real life OR sexual depictions between close relatives who could not legally get married to be treated as adult material if they are presen...

I started taking karate classes when I was five, about 16 years ago. My great inspiration was actually... Power Rangers. In particular, Jason David Frank, who originally portrayed the green ranger, released a VHS under the Power Rangers banner involving a few stances and the like, and it all took of...

Hancock, to me, seems like an extreme exaggeration of Chi-chi's initial tendency to assume everything Goku does (such as knowing her name or tapping her crotch with his foot) is a sign of affection. I believe Hancock once interpreted one of Luffy's hugs as confirmation of marriage? Sounds like Chi-c...

If you somehow overlooked it in the topic title, I'm definitely about to reference the most recent happenings in One Piece. Consider yourself warned. Twice. We know Oda is an admirer of Toriyama's work and was inspired by Dragon Ball in his youth. Hot on the heels of Oda indulging in one of Toriyama...

People with Asperger's Syndrome tend to have difficulty in social interactions, but are extremely intelligent or focused on a particular niche in life. This can be things like geology, trains, cars, or a particular film, video game or anime. To clarify, Asperger's Syndrome is not at all known for h...

It's true that at about three-fourths of the way through the story, Chi-chi's crazy lessens. This only seems to occur once her child screams at her and flies off into space. I assume after this she finally gets herself on some medication and finds a good counselor to help her through her issues. She...

I'll agree to disagree about Chi-chi. Debating her mental state is a ridiculous waste of time and won't change her standing in either of our minds. You idolize her and I think she should be a case study. But I would like to offer a few counter points for the sake of perspective. Culture of arranged ...

No... Chi-chi isn't a bitch for being over protective... Chi-chi is a psychotic bitch who is so desperate for man-meat that she seems to give her "heart" to any man she crosses in the street during her pre-teens. Let's not forget she was seconds away from fixing her obsession on Yamcha. Th...

Well, that answers that. Thanks for the reply.

The answer to the question "Why is this bit of niche fandom outlet different than any other niche fandom outlet and necessitates a constant presence at the top of the page"? No. No, I haven't seen that answer. Threads... get posts. If you stickied a "Dragonball Memes!" thread at...

Again, read the thread. Your answer lies within. Look at how many different posts there have been already . It answers your question. Really, if you'd just read the thread first, see the posts, see the other comments, you'd have had all your answers and would have had no need to post. The answer to...

Your logic is back asswards, but I'll concede since I'm up against folks who'll do what they want regardless of the sense of it. Have fun with the postulating.

Again, so there'll always be one place. So that when any newcomers who come along might want to share their numbers, we can say, "here, we have a single thread dedicated to it." It's stickied for the same reason the old "FanWorks Explosion" thread is; to remain a central one-sto...
