Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.
This was probably the most shocking news I've seen all week. To hear that someone as influential in my lifetime as Toriyama passing on this soon is shocking, especially given that he is 68 (not a very old age) and still very much active in his career, if Daima and the Super manga is any indicator. R...

Re: Saddest Pieces of Music in Dragon Ball.
While not really something considered sad (and Bardock Falls is already mentioned here), I always get a sense of melancholy whenever I listen to Dan Dan, the opening to GT. It's more a confession of love assuming my interpretation of the translated lyrics on here is correct, but it's more so the com...

Re: "Dragon Ball Legends" Official Discussion Thread
To be honest, I've never really enjoyed, maybe even loathe, the segments with the Trio De Danger, mostly since I felt it was just a shtick of fighting them, being surprised of our hero's awesome power, halting profession of the story, and Lavender in particular being annoying to fight due to his po...

Re: Does Goku sound manlier in the otherwise shitty Film Audio?
If Symphony of the Night has taught me anything in life, is that man is a miserable pile of secrets. But assuming it is more of a bravado or something that is more honourable warrior voice trope, I never really felt that Goku is still the person who likes to become strong and fight with others to te...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
I'll be blunt, why are people still demanding a return of the anime? For a show as divisive as Super, it garners a ton of talk within the community of the show possibly coming back. I'd honestly expected more apathy regarding this topic. It just seems like something that is destined to disappoint fa...

Re: (Possibly) Shady Artist on YouTube?
Hey, does anyone else have any trouble accessing to these uploads? I started noticing this when their music isn't on YouTube Music anymore (yes, I actually use it). It seems that they have been taken down. The page doesn't have content anymore like last time. Perhaps they were taken down due to copy...

Re: Would Goku work in old CN bumper crossovers?
I wouldn't see why not, license notwithstanding. If I'm not mistaken Kids WB worked out a similar deal with their anime licenses, so perhaps if CN bothered with it, it could work out too?

Re: New Dragon Ball Z Blu-Rays From Crunchyroll Coming August 1st
To the fandom's defense, their decision to put it in a fundraising campaign of sorts and the framing of 4:3 being the "premium" option for years (yeah, because their normal OG and GT DVDs were totally in wide-screen) made it practically impossible to defend Funimation during that debacle. ...

Official voice actor acknowledgement in fan created works?
This is something that's on the back of my head. In DBZA, TFS can acknowledge Kyle Herbert just fine, but for Chris Sabat, they instead use a pseudonym. It's probably just based on the actor's consent, but do you think it also affects their relationship with their employer? Or at least their clients...

Re: Can mortals watch GodTube?
They'll probably go around known existence AFAIK. I assume it is like a community service kind of thing. Like, it is obviously not profitable given the niche audience and the expensive costs of keeping the servers up, but since they're gods they likely don't care for that stuff and just want some pl...

This low key makes me wish that we can have several other Johnny Bravo commentaries on DBZ. The Buu saga is just packed with riff material.

Piccolo Jr: what did he do before the tournament and would you like to see it?
In honour of Piccolo (and Goku) day, I thought it'd be fun to speculate what Piccolo Jr was doing before the tournament. Since there were noticeable differences between his father and himself, I'd speculate there has to be something during that time that made him who he is today. Or at least a serie...

Re: TV Azteca is censoring DBZ a whole lot.
I have seen a few of those videos on that channel, and I noticed how oddly selective they are when it comes to censoring the scenes involving character being impaled by someone's arm. They include the shots that show the hands going into the chests, but not wider shots that show the whole body of t...

Re: Plots that came to you in a flash of a second.
I'm thinking that maybe there's a villain who decides to mentally screw Goku and Co by reminding them about their biggest regrets and bringing some of their horrible actions to the forefront, manifesting into powerful and zombified personifications of those mistakes. This can particularly be useful ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 92 - Official Discussion Thread
I will say, adapting Super Hero means that we can see Gamma 2's onomatopoeia attacks in a manga panel this time, so it's funny how things go full circle in that sense.

Re: Would 17's wish restore Zamasu's faith in mortals?
The dude probably won't be swayed just by a few acts of kindness or a few speeches about mankind and how they will persevere in spite of everything thrown at them. At this rate, you'd need to have the stars align and get the kindest, most humble mortal in all of existence to even stand a chance to c...

Re: How many kids have grown up with The CW's DBZKai?
I didn't really grow up with the Toonzai/Vortexx version of Kai, more so it was the weird mishmash cut from Cartoon Network in Asian regions. But even then I don't think it aired much or I just didn't bother with it much. Which is funny considering what I did years later since I did get into the fra...

Why don't Goku and Co freeze to death in the cold?
It's a really dumb question, I know, it's a comedy action manga for kids. But it's kind of funny that even in the newest Broly movie, every fighter is expected to not get some sort of frostbite or hypothermia with just basic martial arts gear. Had this been explained, or is it just Toei and Toriyama...

Re: Has Dragon Ball used things from other materials?
Assuming I get your question, even the concept of Dragon Ball was a spoof of Journey to the West. That's not to mention all the references to pop culture splattered in the original run, like one of the androids looking like the Terminator and so on. Toriyama is quite blatant about the works that he ...

What I mean is changing names from Kienzan to Destructo Disc and some new music inserts for the American version. What is the change compared to the Japanese versions, and how do you feel about them? For me, I don't really like the Falconer score in the context of the show, even with edits that have...
