Re: DragonBall Z Abridged
Dragon Ball Z: The Ultimate Review (ft. Team Four Star) - The Buu Saga (Pt. 1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJizHx9G3uQ Yeah I think Mark mentioned that he only asked for a couple minutes of material, and TFS gave him a whole bunch of shit.

Re: Another live action thread (yes, I know)
The problem isn't necessarily that there's too many episodes, but it's more like the writers involved aren't experienced enough writing for an episodic series. Most shows these days are written as if they are 8 hour movies as opposed to 8 45 min episodes. Because of this a lot of these shows often s...

Re: Another live action thread (yes, I know)
I liked the One Piece live action series, as did most people I know who are more well versed in the series than I am. Luffy's Gum Gum Pistol naturally looked a bit weird, but everything else was really well done. The set pieces were beautiful, actors were good and well cast, contained all the plot ...

Re: Another live action thread (yes, I know)
The live-action One Piece adaptation was heavily edited, from 45 episodes/95 manga chapters into 8 episodes. It's currently debated if that was okay, but the performances got a solid pass. . So they improved the source material but not overindulging in unnecessary length. Awesome. Yeah....nah? As d...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
I really dig Modern Toriyama’s more cartoonish art style, but by Kami this is horrendous. They look so flat. I’m pretty sure Dragon Ball would be dead without Super. Wishing for Super to end is wanting to pull the life support plug. This is exactly what I want. As far as I'm concerned, DBS is the e...

Re: Do you like Super?
What matters is not whether or not DB contains genre staples of shounen, what matters is the quality. And a good tournament arc can offer some great storytelling while providing readers with a ton fun and interesting characters to bounce off of the main characters. I don't think Super does particula...

Re: DragonBall Z Abridged
I really hope at final episode commentary, we will get "DBZ Abridged is back, b.tches!" It's been few years, and burnout period could end, they can even skip movies, just please, do Buu Saga :) Considering that trying for that monthly schedule is what lead to the burnout in the first plac...

Re: Do you like Super?
It actually makes Super worse if an anime from 2018 suffers from the same issues from an anime from 1992. It's not an excuse. Super premiered during a post FMA: Brotherhood/Hunter X Hunter (2011) world where the expectations of consistency is normalized. So Super's animation gaffs looks even worse i...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 96 - Official Discussion Thread
It’s definitely meant to be taken as a gag. Because yeah, Gohan should be able to sense Krillin.
But that page is funny therefore I’ll allow it.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 96 - Official Discussion Thread
Maybe because you're not supposed to say "go watch the movie by that other company if you want to live what happens in all its details"? It was something that shouldn't have happened with the other movies in the first place. It's not a side story or anything, it's the main story continuin...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 96 - Official Discussion Thread
If the whole purpose was simply to have Gohan and Piccolo up to speed for the Black Freeza arc, then a simple splash page detailing what happened could easily have done this.
This manga completely killed it’s own momentum for..reasons.

Re: What if Masako Nozawa dies? (God forbid)
There’s either an understudy ready to replace her when she no longer can voice act, or they’ve already locked in another VA to take over for Nozawa.

Re: DBS Anime Future
Future Trunks saga also takes place before the tournament and in another timeline, which means whatever happens there won't affect the "end of Z" and the present timeline. Even if Trunks had died and his Universe destroyed, it would have meant nothing. Well, the latter did happen, yet the...

Re: People who genuinely argue the humor added in dubs "Improves the show"
What's worse is being called a gatekeeper for saying things like Freeza isn't a character who makes vaguely sexual comments and dumb childish jokes. Whether you like that character more isn't my issue. It's literally NOT the character in the story. The idea that anyone actually believes it improves...

Re: Is original Dragon Ball really that unpopular?
I mean anything compared to the zeitgeist that was DBZ in the late 90s/early 00s looks like a failure I guess.

Re: Is there full fighting choreography in the Classic Series (No Super) outside of the movies?
Ironically I see the people who made this complaint has NOT seen OG Dragon Ball there was plenty of choreography there. And there was plenty in Kid Boo vs Goku near the end of Z. That's pretty much what it comes down to: People who haven't really watch the series outside of whatever parody video th...

^ I agree. The objective is not to "speed through it because we've already seen it all so who cares?". The objective is that i t's supposed to feel like a natural manga arc for someone who has never seen the movie at all and doesn't plan on seeing it - which also gives us a 2D version of ...

Re: The people who grew up with Censored and or modified Dragon Ball
I think this discussion took an unnecessary turn towards elitism...
