Here's my idea of crossover

Dragon Ball vs. Aliens vs. Predator vs. Doctor Who vs. Pokemon vs. Digimon vs. SpongeBob

It's going to be a smash hit eh? lol

Yes, it's a very niche franchise. When it did get dubbed on CN, it was far too late at that point. The show was showing its age compared to other shows airing at the time. 1986 anime didn't look as new and fresh compare to other titles airing on TV at the time.


It's interesting that anime from ...

The fandom would be much smaller, but the fandom would still exist and be huge in other places. It would be in the s ame boat as Saint Seiya is in the states .


Is Saint Seiya that small of fan base in America?
I remember seeing dubbed version "Knights of the Zodiac" on Cartoon Network.
I'm not ...

I'm grew up with original uncut version in early 90's, thanks to Japanese neighborhood friend who happened to have VHS recording of the shows. I watched Ocean/Pioneer dub when it aired and noticed the amount of edits, which was noticeable even as kid. lol

Had Dragon ball never dubbed in English ...

Well I mean if done right the results are fantastic like what Neo-Raws is doing with Seed of Might's Dragon Box cleanup and color correction, but you KNOW Toei wouldn't do it right.




I wouldn't mind an AI upscale if it has actual people supervising the entire process and making sure ...

No.


...but we are likely to get food made out of AI, than that to happen.

lol XD

I wouldn't mind double dipping extended cut of Resurrection F on Blu-ray, even if it's not that good of a movie.
It's possible that it might come out when/if 4K UHD version comes out, though it's very unlikely.

Consider the fact, Looney Tunes (1930) is almost 100 years old and still making new contents, with "The Day the Earth Blew Up" and upcoming "Coyote vs. Acme", Dragon Ball would definitely remembered for long, LONG, time.

Good point! lol XD

FLOW literally did the insert song for when Gokuu transforms into his Super Saiyan form and fights Beerus, HERO -Kibou no uta- . Their Cha-La Head Cha-La cover was not the only song they did for the film.

Before their work on Dragon Ball, FLOW was known for their NARUTO songs: GO!!! and SIGN as ...

FLOW cover of "CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA" from Battle of Gods is the WORST cover of the song EVER!
I'm normally not a fan of cover songs, but I REALLY hate with burning passion.
I did not see Battle of Gods in theater, like I did with Resurrection F, Broly, and Super Hero for Fathom Events, but had I seen ...

If it remains popular for 40 years, then it would certainly relevant in 60 years.
Granted, that would depend on what would be trending by then... like AI anime. lol XD


I also think a live action version done right (like Netflix One Piece) would go a long way in making the franchise more ...

What if Dragon Ball franchise (manga and anime) didn't exist?
How would our pop culture and your life would be different?

I'm aware there is a thread for this topic, but I want to put more details since it's 40th anniversary of anime.

If Toriyama didn't come up with franchise, I still think he ...

Here's my reaction...

I'd always be up for the Saban dub getting a Blu-ray release . It's the version that introduced most of the English speaking world to the franchise, had years of reruns, and was watched and enjoyed by millions. To this day Funimation's dubs still retain certain elements from it. It deserves to be ...

It will be called Dragon Ball SuperS.

lol XD

Gokuu is assumed to be a Mutant and joins Chris Claremont's X-Men, suddenly becoming the center of a storyline involving Mutant teens being involved in underground fight clubs.


I think that idea could work if the series took place on Earth and never goes outers space; granted, X-men has ...

Oh boy...

It depends on who would be working on it... I imagine it could have ended up being something similar to Samurai Jack, but it would really depend on the author. Could it have been Frank Miller? or Todd McFarlane, Jim Lee, George Perez, John Romita Jr.? You gotta be more specific for a ...

Does anybody remember ThunderCats ? That was our American Dragon Ball.

If it was made in the 80s, it's very likely there would be a lot of censorship and laws calling for the show to feature a moral at the end of every episode. I also distinctly remember when Kimba the White Lion was produced in ...
