Re: Dragon Ball Magic? *RUMOR*
How do Geekdom and the others know about this and in great detail but not actual leakers from Japan? It’s self-evidently stupid. It registers to me about the same as that kid in school who says his uncle works at Nintendo. Except, somehow enough of the other kids believed him, so now he has a platf...

Re: Dragon Ball Magic? *RUMOR*
Are people really buying this? Geekdom's saying it. Not buying it at all. This is the guy who said the series was ready to be announced back in 2018, but said they "changed plans". So they had a whole series planned out, partway through production, and just stopped completely for no reaso...

Re: I realized a horrible thing. If Toriyama dies or retires Dragon Ball AF will be a thing
Is there any evidence to suggest that Toriyama necessarily reigns in Toyotaro's ideas? I guess I'm not sure how I see the floodgates suddenly opening without Toriyama there. Sure, his originality and signature touch would be missing, but I doubt the impact would be as dramatic as one might imagine.

Re: Toyotarou's Ideas Leave No Impact on Dragon Ball Super
Toyotarou seems best suited in an advisory capacity for Toriyama's outlines. You always get the feeling of that Dragon Ball authenticity when Toriyama is ultimately at the helm of any given project--but as the person completely in charge? Hm, I don't know about that. If it's him or nothing, that's p...

Re: Overrated and Underrated voice actors
Toshio Furukawa is incredible, Piccolo or otherwise. It's always a joy to hear his voice turn up. There's something both endearing and bad ass about his performance that's hard to articulate, which works so well with Piccolo who obviously embodies the bad ass nature from the start, but increasingly ...

Re: A new Budokai Tenkaichi has been announced
Seriously, I am anxious about any news from BT4. As much as I am hoping for mindless simulator fun like with BT3, I am worried. One Piece Burning Blood and Jump Stars are disasters coming from Spike recently and let's be honest, while Dimps did great work with their 2.5 Dragon Ball games and doing ...

Re: Remastered dub is beyond unwatchable to me
I treat it all like a teaching/learning opportunity more than anything else! Rather than shit all over it (which is all too easy and tempting to do), I find it more helpful to just describe it and nod along with how wild it is. I know it can potentially come across as a bit arrogant or self-righteo...

Re: What if Masako Nozawa dies? (God forbid)
bots will never learn the true feelings of a living being. I don't know how you can possibly make a definitive statement to that effect. Every time we think there's something special and magical about ourselves, we figure out a way to break it down and realize it isn't as special as we thought. Wit...

Re: Have you ever played Earth's Special Forces?
There weren't many ways to get your Dragon Ball video game fix in the US before Legacy of Goku dropped, which is crazy to think about at this point with the ubiquity and volume of the games for the past two decades+. I was an absolute maniac trying to get my hands on the various PC FPS mods such as ...

Re: Toei is throwing uncut and improved dubs at every OLD franchise of theirs (Would you like some for Dragon Ball?)
I'm kind of two minds about it. On one hand, it would be really cool to see another English Dub, that is like, kind of free of all of Funimation's casting styles, or weird translation choices, or just general imprint on the franchise, and can just kinda be a accurate version of the original TV show...

Re: A new Budokai Tenkaichi has been announced
I think the actual in-game model looks great, but I think his face as he's transforming looks kind of off until he tilts his head back. Also, is it safe to say they announced this game way too early? At this point I'm beginning to think they started developing like right before Battle Hour. Traditi...

A lot of people aren't perverts y'know, but the system we live in really forces it into us. Even me, as an asexual person, I suffered a lot from this oversexualized world, and unfortunately, I've watched things that I didn't really want to when I was younger, but right now, I stay away from all thi...

Re: Can you/would you ride on Flying Nimbus?
It seems like Kinto'un only cares about being evil or a pervert. In real life, you probably only could ride it if you're a good-hearted child or a good-hearted asexual person.

A friend of mine brought up in interesting point, that the may take the RB2 character models, and animations, touch them up visually, and reused them for this game, Similar to how Smash Ultimate repurpose character models and animations from Smash 4 and(in the case of Snake, Wolf, and Ice Climbers)...

Re: What Dragon Ball merchandise do you keep unopened/sealed?
Whenever I go to Japan I always at some point hit up the crane games for the Dragon Ball figures. I have a few that are unopened simply because I don’t have much reason to and can’t be arsed to do so—otherwise, everything is pretty much purchased for consumption in one form or another.

Re: What was the worst era of DB video games?
2011-2014 was downright awful. It truly felt like they were actually starting to wrap up actually making Dragon Ball games, after Ultimate Blast/Tenkaichi, for Kinect, the lame HD Collection and Battle of Z. My interest in the series was largely supported by the games, and as a consequence it’s no s...

Nothing against Marshall, she's a perfectly talented voice actor and she voices like 95 percent of the female cast on South Park but I just don't see her voice working for adult Goku. Perhaps not, but it was an example of the sort of thing I mean. Not married to the idea of Mona Marshall, but somet...

Re: Ideal English Goku Voice?
The ideal circumstances would be for someone good to start as kid Goku from Dragon Ball, and to carry on in his adult voice capably. I think the problem with the English adult Gokus so far is that they are starting from his adult incarnation in order to characterize him which misses the point. I alw...
