My justification is there no reason for an allegedly serialized story to be that long no matter how badly one wants to pretend there’s some carefully laid out plan where every element matters. Even Pokemon essentially hits the reset button every time there’s a new generation of games to ...

I do find it interesting though because the DBS Broly movie had an absolutely shallow cling to Z nostalgia but because it looked great no one minds.

I said what he did was pathetic, not he himself.


And people are defined by their actions.

Its the same baseless defence of "i called what you did stupid, i didn't call you stupid". Everyone knows what you were implying, you're just not honest enough to admit it and now hiding behind ...

I'm of the opinion no show should go past the 6 season mark, and no matter how serialized the story is each chapter or episode should be about solving some single issue. In DB, each episode or chapter is some phase of the battle.

The longer a single story goes, the more obstacles have to be put ...

Oda is the kind of writer who foreshadows stuff hundreds of chapters in advance and makes you amazed at what was hiding in plain sight.

You know the kind of details that Toriyama sometimes reveals in interviews, like how 16 was modeled after Dr. Gero's son who was killed by Goku when he fought ...

What? He didn't insult anyone. He made a truely objective argument as well as one of the most in-depth observations about another person's lack of character & civility on this forum that I've ever seen. :wink:


Pathetic is my favourite compliment, for example, your attempt to show talk around ...

Goku is someone one could call an antihero.

Freeza was just helping so that he could get resurrected; there was nothing heroic about him, although I do think he isn't a coward.

Just because DBS managed to make him likeable, doesn't mean he is antihero.


Goku. Is. Not. A. Anti-hero.

He is a ...

Yeah. Without it, Battle of Gods wouldn't have happened

Another annoying thing I see in much of the fandom is folks bash OG Dragonball/Z just to defend Super, and folks who bash/downplay other anime just to defend DB in general.

Also, your opinions above about Naruto (what is so thematically inconsistent about it?), One Piece (who is the story "bloated"?) and Attack on Titan (what does it fail to attempt?) is easily objectively false (and if you could make a full essay about your views then why haven't you?) and are all ...

Who's Sadala Elite and what same post?


Good one. I don't know why you're feigning, but this took me maybe 5 minutes:



Android 21 is overall the best Modern DB character (aka anyone introduced since Yo Son Goku & Friends in 2008), and is more likeable than 90% of the classic cast ...

Dragon Ball is better than both of those but that’s not much of an accomplishment.


How so?


Namely they’re both terrible so being better isn’t an accomplishment.




The original run of Dragonball/DBZ is probably the pinnacle of anime storytelling. It's the Citizen Kane of anime.

I mean shonen is incredibly vast since it’s any manga/anime aimed at young boys. Can you really compare Dragon Ball to something like Prince of Tennis or Food Wars?

How do you think this show selling toys to boys 6-11 compare to all the other shows selling toys to boys 6-11?


Lol, by Shonen ...

To all fellow fighting game enthusiasts, how do you feel DBFZ stacks up compared to other competitive fighting games both this generation and in general?

What is your opinion on how the Dragonball franchise holds up in quality compared to other Shonen anime and manga, and why do you feel this way? Note that this is comparing the franchise on the whole as well as the 4 individual series (OG, Z, GT and Super) in particular.

"Opinions are bad, mkay?" is basically what I'm getting from this thread.

I could write essays regarding why I think Naruto is derivative drivel that stopped being decent or even thematically consistent after the Chuunin exams, why One Piece is the epitome of excessive bloat from its art ...
