Kanzenshuu

Despite being someone who generally DESPISES Dragon Ball's various English dub casts for a whole multitude of reasons, there's one particular moment from the 1996-98 FUNimation dub (the "Ocean dub", as it's so often erroneously referred to by legions of misinformed internet denizens) that ...

I was kind of going to just bite my tongue about this post, and not say anything, but honestly, the more I've sat on it, the more I've decided to just say what I want to say. While I am ever the proponent of introducing people to #TheArts and getting them interested in new types of books, film and ...

To be fair, you just said so yourself, audiences DID wise up and made those Marvel Superhero fests flop. Well, I said that they FINALLY did. In 2023... last year lol It's funny... 99.9% of the shit that people have been criticizing and ridiculing the MCU for for the last year or two at MOST is AAAA...

I'm nearly 32 and *I* have to make fun of my fellow millennials for that on the regular! Hell, I went on a date with a 28 year old woman just a few weeks ago, and we at one point started talking about the movies we like. She, an almost 30 year old grown woman... had basically had no interest in ANY...

Baby Boomers have, broadly speaking as a collective whole anyway, just about never cared that much about their childhood cartoons. Baby Boomers are plenty nostalgic, but generally they most often tend to get nostalgic about stuff from their younger adulthoods, roughly around college age and onward....

I cant believe you are such a new member, you are very wise and well spoken. I am so glad even now Kanzenshuu has such great new members. EDIT: Also while I was kidding with that whole Popo thing, it would be harder for Popo to be edited out or edited to be acceptable, he's just so ingrained into t...

Wow, this is such a great post. I love it. And i didnt mean to be anti woke, but more that the only thing that wasnt allowed by Me TV was racist jokes. Those are skipped or edited out (I forgot they DID edit stuff out lol.) Even suicide and gun jokes are okay. Again, I think everything's relative. ...

I know, and that's PRECISELY why I am so astounded that Kunzait didnt take the opportunity to rip this channel a new one. He hates the whole "CHILHOOD PWNS" take the internet has and how they only focus on vapid kids shows. But I guess, much like me but on the opposite side, there wasnt r...

Incidentally, the ending music I used for the big Toriyama tribute podcast waaaaaaas… (The instrumental of “I Won’t Forget You”) There ya go! Perfect choice :D God, I need to get back to finishing that episode! I started listening to it a few weeks ago, and then work and home life got in the way lol

I got nothing to add to this other than the name "Me Toons" sounds like a horrifying(ly cringe) series of PSA cartoons attempting to teach little kids about the dangers of sexual assault. I love this post, not only because its hilarious, but rather I was bracing myself for "Oh great,...

This is something I was thinking about the other day, and I know what you're thinking... FINAL BOUT?? That garbage game from over 25 years ago with HORRIBLE controls? Yeah, I know... but hear me out: After you beat the "1P game" (which was basically its classic Arcade Mode kinda thing that...

Funimation hasn't done Closed Captions for their English dubs in a long time (if ever?) You definitely won't find them on any Kai release. I own a few of the old FUNi singles DVDs from the early 2000s and most of those as far as I recall actually did have dubtitle tracks. I also have one of the &qu...

I distinctly remember way, way back in the day I had given One Piece more than 50 episodes to "get good". When it never did and I gave up on it, I was immediately told by One Piece fans on this very forum that I "hadn't seen anything yet" and that I need to make it to somewhere ...

That's fine and all, but it's not what you said here: What's more, I DO NOT remember seeing the whole "canon" discussion ANYWHERE NEEEEEEAAAAR as insanely fucking much pre-Super. I definitely saw it on RARE occasion even back to the early-mid 2000s due to the differences between the manga...

What's more, I DO NOT remember seeing the whole "canon" discussion ANYWHERE NEEEEEEAAAAR as insanely fucking much pre-Super. I definitely saw it on RARE occasion even back to the early-mid 2000s due to the differences between the manga and anime and the weirdness of the DB and Z movies, b...

Man, so many of your comments have severe “we have a Kunzait comment at home” energy (I can’t be the only one who’s noticed this). I guess he and I just think and write alike? :lol: I too think people’s fixation on canon above quality is detrimental, and I’ve also seen similar baffling arguments pe...

You seem to have missed the point I was trying to make, so I'll use your post as an example. To *YOU* the manga is the "official canon" To *SOMEONE ELSE* the "official canon" would be anything Toriyama worked on To *SOMEONE ELSE ELSE* the "official canon" would be what...

There's really not much to say on this topic: Dragon Ball is basically going to just be another whored-out mega IP like any other, a mechanism for major media corporations in Japan (and around the world) to generate revenue off of. As much as people don't like to admit this (for whatever reason), e...

Goddamn, this hit me like a truck of bricks. Legitimately was NOT prepared for this news tonight. We've lost an absolute legend, ladies and gentlemen. Toriyama, you'll be deeply missed by us all. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for creating so many great stories and characters that have broug...

Yeah, I like them. I like the combining of names, outfits, and (in the anime) voices. It's also funny that there's pretty much always a dominant personality, such that the fusion might as well be "Dominant Person [Other Person Absorbed]". Gotenks is pretty much just Trunks (Goten absorbed...
