Re: Unpopular DB opinions
calling people delusional because they said they like something that you don't like doesn't strike me as a particularly great way to discuss anything

Re: Do we know the reason why episodes 73-80 were shot on 35mm film?
I believe it may have been because TOEI had run out of 16mm film at the time and used what they had leftover. They ran out of 16mm film for 7 weeks? That seems really odd. If that's the case wouldn't other Toei productions at the time have been affected as well? I'd have to do some digging to find ...

Do we know the reason why episodes 73-80 were shot on 35mm film?
See title. I tried doing a bit of searching in here but searching for "dragon ball" and "35mm" mostly just pulls up info about the movies and occasional mentions that this set of episodes exists in various threads about video quality, but nothing about the actual *why* behind it....

Re: Has Dragon Ball used things from other materials?
As well as everything already mentioned, everyone seems to forget Roshi's blatantly plagiarised flying steed Baby Gamera, who's literally just a miniaturised copy of the turtle kaiju of the same name owned by Daiei Film. It's no surprise Baby Gamera's appearances are very sparse. Explicit, extremel...

Re: Is there a double standard regarding plagiarism in the Franchise
I would definitely describe Toyo-Tarou as being a shitty artist and comic creator but I also don't think that it is a big deal considering the shitty workplace environment that his employer thrusts upon him is inhumane. You're going to make bad decisions when you work constant 8-16 hour work days f...

Re: Any FUNi dubisms you still find yourself saying from time to time?
I mean yes, I'm fully aware of that, but they're still called the same thing. Besides, I feel like my actual point here is kinda lost. Funimation already went with "Bulma" instead of just calling her "Bloomer" (or whatever), so it's enough precedent for other name translations th...

Re: Any FUNi dubisms you still find yourself saying from time to time?
Buruma and bloomers aren't really the same thing anyway, so chances are you're the one that don't recognize what her name is supposed to reference. Is the condescension *really* necessary? Christ. I was specifically talking about the localization choice of going with "Bulma" as her name i...

Re: Any FUNi dubisms you still find yourself saying from time to time?
"Krillin" was pretty obviously chosen over "Kuririn" to make it easier for Americans to pronounce. There's not much more to it than that. The original pun requires Japanese knowledge to come across anyways, so the only options here would be either A.) Keep the name as it is in Ja...

Re: FUNimation streaming all the Dragon Boxes now
Tubi (or even a similar free service like PlutoTV or Retrocrush) would absolutely make a great home for something like the Ocean dub. I have trouble imagining Funimation would go for it, but there's nothing really stopping them afaik. They don’t care about the Ocean dub. Why not make some profit of...
