Re: Kanzenshuu Wiki Has Launched!

How on earth did I miss this? I've waited so long for this project to release that it actually feels surreal to finally browse more than the few pages available before, even if it's not yet complete (not that you can ever truly complete a wiki, since there's always new and old stuff to document, but ...

One might wonder how Toriyama managed to romanize Capsule Corp. two different ways in the same panel. Maybe his assistant at the time (Matsuyama, I believe?) handled the background while he, Toriyama, handled the foreground ...

Re: The TV Anime Series Dragon Ball Super: Beerus will be broadcast on Fuji TV in the fall of 2026



I'm hoping they expand upon the Broly movie to fit with Toriyama's original drafts.

There was a lot of content that got cut, Broly wouldn't have worked as a 3 hour movie but as a series? I think it'll work.


I expect the Broly arc will be nothing more than the movie cut up into 5 episode ...

As has been reiterated numerous times throughout this thread, SoM releases typically get smaller, re-encoded mini versions made by outsiders within, like, a week of release. If you wait just a little longer then a smaller release is sure to appear on the same site as the SoM release, so I don't see ...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions

It's barely worth a mention, but apparently a new "HD" upscale of the original Dragon Ball is up on Hulu . Don't get your hopes up--as mentioned, it's an upscale, and not even a good one.

I really can't understand Toei's thought process in regards to these sorts of releases. They've scanned 16mm ...

Re: In order to continue DB's story in an authentic manner, Jump should create a Toriyama AI bot

Absolutely not. l would rather Toyotaro (or whoever) pump out the most atrocious story of all time if that's what it takes to avoid AI usage and maintain the human touch. AI is fundamentally anti-art, and even beyond that, literally doesn't have a brain to imagine with, meaning every one of its ...

By the way, I'll put here in images the breakdown of Toriyama's words by an AI, because I assume there's lots of fans whose mother-tongue is not english and so they at least aren't fooled by your tactics ;)

Re: How would you feel about AI being used for deceased voice actors?

To answer the thread question: No, I don't think generative AI should be used to replace deceased voice actors. Just recast them. I don't even think it's a pertinent question at the moment: I've heard AI-generated voices and they're not good -- and unlike with real voice actors, a voice director can ...

The Super manga timeline is already a bit of a conundrum when you factor in Trunks and Goten's ages and school years. To explain: Goten is a first year high schooler -- meaning he started school in April at age 15 (going off of the Japanese school system which is what Toriyama and Toyotaro would be ...

Damn it. At least we got the first 68 episodes from them before this happened. I can only hope that Toei or Funimation will eventually do a native HD scan of the original 16mm film for the series at this point. It's a real shame that the best release we have for the first series is an unfinished ...

This is a very simple question. If you like GT/Super/Daima, then it wasn't a mistake. If you don't, it was a mistake. No one will be able to come to an "objective" conclusion here. If we're only taking into account the artistic value and not the financial value, then there will be no clear answer ...
