Re: Best way to watch the English Dub for the first time?

Does everyone just like ignore when the OP says he wants to watch Z with the American soundtrack? Everyone’s just like ignoring that if he wanted to watch a good dub he’d watch the Portugal dub he grew up on. I think he's Brazilian, the Portuguese dub is awful :lol: LOL the dub where certain charac...

Re: Kakarot vs Kakarotto - The Vegerot/Vegetto(ito) effect

Kuri is supposed to be read as two consonants with a vowel in one go: "kri". In some cases, you only switch the R for an L when there are two syllables, such as in Metaru Kuura (Metal Coola). The U in Metaru replaces what we think is a third syllable with a sound that resembles Metal (onl...

Re: Does English Dragon Ball need higher profile actors?

As someone that only got to hear the English dub as an adult, half of the male cast should be fired, at the very least. Trunks, Kuririn, Yamcha, Vegeta, teen Gohan(not a problem anymore anyways) Goten, Kid Trunks, all sound awful, either they sound like chain smokers with stage 7 throat cancer or li...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

I'd like to see this King of Sadala finally make an appearance and state that he has long since known of SSJ but has something even better. Perhaps showing off a previously-unknown variant of SSJ that puts him on par with Vegeta? Stuff like this is why I'm generally against fans having any kind of ...

Re: Kakarot vs Kakarotto - The Vegerot/Vegetto effect

Not a native English speaker but what is the issue in Kuririn? Why put a L where it's clearly and R? To sound "better"? If that's the reason then it makes no sense to put a random L in his name. I wasn't the one making the argument for that. From my understanding, the "R" in Jap...

Re: The Super Re-Read

I really really like this arc in the manga, it's probably my favorite, only thing lacking is the incredibly hype Blue Kaioken against Hit, but it's so much fun and full of silly gags, the test is indeed a highlight for me, thank you Roshi for trying to teach Goku how to count at least. Thank you for...

Re: Does anyone else feel that much of the DB fandom enforces low standards?

Super is also repeating many of the mistakes of old DB so at the very least it's the same show we had in the past, but you're not a kid anymore so now you notice it. This is an example of what we were discussing in the first few pages of this thread. The original series has been criticized and anal...

Re: Does anyone else feel that much of the DB fandom enforces low standards?

You just want to feel what you felt before, which is nostalgia, this won't happen. How you took "I want new stories instead of call backs" to mean "I want the exact thing I had before" is something I'll never understand. I rarely, if ever said this to another fan, but you honest...

Re: Does anyone else feel that much of the DB fandom enforces low standards?

You want your nostalgia back and with new things that you like on top of it. I and many others simply want better quality products. We want the writing to be consistent, we want the staff (who I don't blame) to have a budget and time to work with, we want Toriyama to either writer full stories or s...

Does anyone think what we say here matters in any substantive way to have any impact on the end product? Of course not, but that doesn't mean we can't express our views on the topic. It's no different than complaining about how certain characters are treated, it may not change anything, but it's st...

Sure, but the niche that is this part of the fandom is small and irrelevant in the grand scope of things.

Re: Does anyone else feel that much of the DB fandom enforces low standards?

Adult Dragon Ball fandom doesn't hold any sway over the actual official franchise. We're not like Trek fandom or other big fandoms in that regard. That said, I think it's possible to make a change but it requires mass-level grass-roots organizing that the fandom doesn't seem quite passionate to att...

Re: Does anyone else feel that much of the DB fandom enforces low standards?

Caulifla was able to unlock not one, not two, but three Ssj forms at the same time, just because she wanted to. She had no training, no knowledge of them, nothing. To make things worse, her and Kale were able to fight against someone using the power of angles, just because. A fusion between 2 nobod...

Re: Does anyone else feel that much of the DB fandom enforces low standards?

Neither did Caulifla and Kale then. Despite all their hype, they only defeated a bunch of fodder. Their only real fight was against Goku, and they were soundly defeated: Yet despite their pathetic win count, people still call them Mary Sue. Caulifla was able to unlock not one, not two, but three Ss...

Re: Does anyone else feel that much of the DB fandom enforces low standards?

Actually didn't Gotenks reach super saiyan 3 simply by observing Goku? It makes sense that Caulifla would reach new levels of power by observing and fighting Goku. Goku even told her during the Tournament how to unlock the Stressed Super Saiyan form. Super can't be enforcing low standards when this...
