Re: Has Dragon Ball used things from other materials?
Pretty sure there was some Chinese movie that had similar magic system to ki blasts, just on the lower scale. I don't know the name, I've only seen clip of it, and can't say if it had any influence, but it surely looked like.

Re: How many times have you seen DB?
DB and GT 4 times, Z and Super 3 times(not gonna rewatch Super anymore), Kai once.
For first 3 I did different dubs but ultimately ended up with English most recently.

Re: How would you rank Dragon Ball
DB Manga: Good art and gets to the point. Pacin in issue in anime which destroyed a lot of moments for me: Both Goku vs Piccolo fights, Frieza vs Goku, even Gohan vs Cell, as well as particular arcs, take Ribbon Army, or Buu arc as example. In manga the issue is gone. (sometimes I feel like I'm hars...

Re: Underrated Aspects of Dragon Ball
I think that powerups were done well. People always shit on powerups because it makes action and story linear and straight forward, which is fair criticism, but I think that all powerups were done very executed. Except maybe Holy Water in Piccolo Daimao arc, and some boosts that were given in Namek ...

Re: How do you Feel About the Pacing of each Show?
But for someone watching it for the first time, it's really going to kill the intrigue. Funny enough when I watched db for the first and second time I wasn't bothered by slowness, except of Frieza fight, and on the rewatch Gihan vs Cell. Recently I did rewatch and kften it was unbereable, as I said...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I prefer original Broly than Super's. Could I ask you to expand on this one? Very well. My reasoning is quite simple. A man who's being told in legends and being brute strenght, blinded in battle by rage guy is better as a villain rather than someone who ended up fighting you, because circumstances...

Re: Is Goku's stupidity at least partially an act?
I don't think so. Goku started off as a goofy character, it makes sense that some of that goofiness would remain later in his character. He still got smarter when he was growing up, well until Super happened and make him genuinely stupid. Even before Z I wouldn't say he's stupid, more like lacking k...

Re: Could Present Vegeta Turn SSJ3?
No The sole power itself doesn't guarantee new transformation and there since we are talking about Super then there were 2 characters that had greater power than base Goku in Buu arc: Future Trunks and Vegeta. Neither of them transformed into SSJ3 when they really needed it and there's no execuse no...

Re: What is the minimum age you would recommend Dragon Ball for?
I'd say 10.
I was rewatching it and I showed it to my 9 year old nephew, starting from 22nd tournament he really enjoys it and is often quiete overdramatic over stuff that happens.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I don't like Cooler. Not at all. I simply don't see what's so good about him that fans really like him for. H's just Frieza's brother... and that's it, there isn't anuthing that I like about him. Most if not all movie villains are better than him. Not a big fan of his transfotmation either, but I ca...

Re: Whose Voices Do You Hear When Reading the Manga?
Generally English voices. In general I think the voices just fits the characters better than the original.
Only exception is Kid Goku and Goku Black, which are both from original cast, while Kid Goku better fits, something just stuck in my head about Goku Black's performance in Japanese.

Re: What is your favorite location in Dragon Ball
Kame house is definitely my favourite location. If I could I would actually live there, it have big level of comfy, access to sea, seeing how Roshi have TV I would guess there would be also access to internet if it was real in modern times. I really like Namek that's undergoing destruction, with it'...

Re: How do you Feel About the Pacing of each Show?
Dragon ball had good pacing most of the time, but at times, especially in the end, and during some of the final fights it can go very slow. In those episodes, like Goku vs Jr fight I would end up skipping even 10 minutes from episode. Z had good beginning-mid point of the series, from episode one to...
