I don't believe a full-on remake of the original anime is necessary, it holds up quite well as-is. Surprisingly so, sometimes.
I'd be totally down for movies covering the arcs, though.
Think Path to Power, but a bit more faithful and longer.

Re: If Dragon Ball is a worldwide mainstream children's franchise...
The systemic issues—editorial, publishing, animation studio, television network, et cetera, et cetera—that allow this material to be produced and published is consistently brought up—if not by me, but by other users—as an issue that needs to be addressed, so I really don't see how anyone is 'just ...

Re: Shueisha Adopting Funimation's Name Spellings
As much as I'd prefer the original japanese naming, I think that, given the international range that Funimation has, what with the videogames being a lot of people's first exposure to the series outside of the anime proper, it was only a matter of time until both aspects were merged.

Re: What's your opinion on the recent DBGT 16mm opening scan?
Not gonna lie, the GT opening is the most nostalgic for me, so this was a really amazing find.
Hopefully considering the size of the series itself we'll be able to find every episode like this, with the reels themselves?
Nah, not gonna happen. Would be neat, though.

Re: Blu ray to mkv for preserving?
It's true that Bluray discs are much more durable than DVDs, and the coating on them is incredibly scratch resistant, so the obvious advantage on a MKV conversion would be ease of convenience, as you'd be able to just open the files themselves without needing to swap discs.

Re: AB Video to release original Dragon Ball on Blu-Ray
Colour Correction and the Broadcast Audio were the prime two golden carrots that Toei could dangle in front of us in order to keep vomiting out home media releases of the shows, especially in partnership with Funimation.

The second worst thing that could happen is here. This release is forcibly on an indefinite hiatus, and the graphic designer in some replies is not making it very subtle that this was forced upon AB by Toei.

Re: AB Video to release original Dragon Ball on Blu-Ray
It would be incredibly on-brand for Toei to cancel this project purely out of spite over them being one-upped not just in audio, but also in colour correction. They're known for incredibly subpar home video releases for everyone in the know, and they're aware of it.

Re: If Dragon Ball goes beyond EOZ what would you like to see
My list is pretty simple.
Gradually sideline Goku and Vegeta in a way that makes it so that they're still there, but not the protags.
Highlight the younger cast, ideally Goten and Trunks, while gradually promoting Pan and Uub as the new protagonists after a couple of arcs and time-skips.

Re: "Sparking! ZERO" Official Announcement & Pre-Release Discussion Thread
Why?
Each transformation counts as a different slot, so it'll be very easy to fill a lot of these slots with transformations of one single character. And unfortunately, it's not only Goku that has a whole swath of different forms.
Then again, FighterZ has half its roster comprised of Goku and ...

Re: Is Goku hitting his head a relevant detail for his character anymore?
At the end of the day, you can still interpret Goku changing from his head accident as him accepting Gohan due to his kindness, showing gratitude towards it.
I doubt that's the initial intent, but it wouldn't be the first time the series changed details, even when being penned by Toriyama.

If it were an affair, whatever, personal matters between two consenting adults.

While I think the above does go too easy on Vegeta, the fact is that Goku's presence was what allowed Babidi to tempt Vegeta. If Goku hadnt been around, I doubt Vegeta would go "MWA HAHA! I WILL BECOME EVIL TO BEAT GOHAN UP" or anything like that.
