Re: Dragon Ball Daima: Episode 20 - Official Discussion Thread

Re: If Daima becomes non-canon to Super, then what was the point?

What was the point of Daima if it's "nOn-CaNoN"?

Well, what was the point of the original anime's filler? Or GT? Or the original 17 movies? Or the THREE different versions of God and God/Battle of Gods (they CAN'T ALL be "cAnOn")? Or the four different versions of Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans? Or ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima: Episode 19 - Official Discussion Thread

Jesus Christ, this thread has gone on for a whopping seven pages now and at least 60-70% of the posts have been less about the episode itself, and instead focused entirely on "Gee golly gosh, I sure do wonder how Daima's gonna undo literally everything it's done so far in the one episode it had ...

Re: "Serious Dragon Ball" erasure


Even in some of those cases though, some of the older dubs/localizations for even some anime that was always aimed at an adult audience were not immune from attempts at, uh, "artificially enhancing" their "masculinity": I'm thinking particularly of Manga UK, who were exceedingly notorious for this ...

I will forever maintain that Naruto and Sasuke are literally written like a romantic couple. Like, Jesus Christ, if you factor in the contributions of the anime staff to the franchise, too—especially given how much wider a reach it has internationally—there is no goddamned way this Tsuru Toshiyuki ...

Re: "Serious Dragon Ball" erasure



Of course Death Note is battle shounen: Death Note is about two twinks with terribly repressed bisexuality and casual misogyny duking it out in a battle of wits as opposed to just coming out of the closet and dating one another like normal people. That's Weekly Shounen JUMP battle manga to a tee ...

It's a lot like "zenkai boost" or "Majin Vegeta" or "Mystic Gohan": a term WIDELY and WILDLY thrown around by fandoms, but having ZERO real basis whatsoever. You have to be a special kind of pretentious to get genuinely annoyed over fanmade terms. Not to mention the name "Majin Vegeta" is used in ...

What about Initial D or MF Ghost? They don't fall under the "battle shonen" category.


Well, there just so happens to be a reason for that, and that reason is that Initial D and MF Ghost, just like every single one of the examples of "nuanced stories written for grown adults" I mentioned (aside ...

Re: Would FUNimation even have survived were it not for Dragon Ball?


Important to remember that this DID happen: FUNimation was fully acquired by Navarre in 2005 , only a little over a decade into their existence. That lasted for about five years until Navarre kinda changed strategies back to plain ol' distribution rather than also licensing, and Fukunaga basically ...

Re: Would FUNimation even have survived were it not for Dragon Ball?


I also think people only stuck with the Texas cast in the early days of the inhouse dub because it was Dragon Ball. If it was any other anime Funimation would have crashed and burned.

They may have still started out dubbing other shows with the Ocean cast but once they hired local talent anime ...

To preface, I'm not referring to their entire company history since 1994; DUH, they wouldn't have survived without Dragon Ball, they only got the license to it through sheer nepotism first of all, and on top of that it was literally the ONLY licensed property they had until they started slooowly ...

U.S. Renditions had the series at one point, but never did anything with it. Who knows if they would started at the Pilaf saga or go straight to Z?
