Re: Am I the only one who feels like I missed out on Dragon Ball?
I became a fan in late 1999/2000, and I feel like I missed out. Hell, even if you live in America and jumped on board in 1995 around when the series came here, you'd be coming in right as Z was ending in Japan. I know how you feel though, I feel that way about a great deal of things I enjoy--not to ...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"
I feel like the fanbase just gets more picky and grumpy over the years. If new content isn't exclusively rehashing 30-year-old plotlines (if I see Coola brought up one more damn time... yeah, forget new original plots, let's just check boxes on rehashing non-canon plots into canon) and 99% mindless ...

Re: Has Toriyama retconned the “Ultimate Gohan”?
His "Ultimate" form seems to be treated and used much in the same way the god forms are--as stages to build up to if SSJ/SSJ2 aren't sufficient. In the Super Hero trailer, we see him transform into SSJ, but clearly his Ultimate stage is used at some point. Originally I assumed he got weake...

Re: Should the psuedo 3d art style be used for the franchise in general going forward?
It honestly doesn't matter to me as long as it isn't the souless, glossy Yamamuro style we were stuck with for so long. What's striking to me is how every single frame of the trailers we've seen so far looks good, like a manga panel drawn by Toriyama. I'm not super thrilled by how it looks in motion...

Re: So this new movie will be Gohan focused?
Judging from the trailer it appears that Piccolo will permanently die in this movie Did we even watch the same trailer? I can't even fathom where you'd get the idea that Piccolo permanently dies . Jumping to conclusions about Gohan's involvement in the film at this stage is probably setting oneself...

Dimps: We won't call Time Breakers "Time Breakers". / Also Dimps: How about we name this game, like... "The Breakers!?". This has to be the worst subtitle for a Dragon Ball game yet (maybe tied with "for Kinect" or [s]Tenkaichi[/s] "Budokai Tenkaichi"?) "...

Re: What would you do to make the games more interesting?
It definitely seems like a largely original story is the answer, at least for single player games. At this point, it's difficult to imagine a format in which the "Raditz to Buu" formula has any tank left in the gas. Maybe that's my issue with Kakarot, at least for those of us who are old e...

Re: What would you do to make the games more interesting?
Well this goes into a bigger question about what makes the games worth playing to begin with. I think Kakarot is textbook "sounds good on paper, but in execution...". I know many enjoyed it, but I couldn't get past Nappa--this coming from someone who has bought and finished every major yea...

Re: "(Super) Dragon Ball Heroes" Official Discussion Thread
Original Broli was never all that interesting. "Super Saiyan but bad guy" was the novelty but that wore off quickly for me. Ever since Budokai 3 he has been shoehorned awkwardly into everything and people still demand more of it.

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"
It's not my preference, but I don't mind it. I think the technology still has a ways to go before movement and motion can emulate organic animation--of course we've only seen about 40 seconds of it but it looks like at times they're trying to go for low framerate animation to replicate a hand-drawn ...

Re: Legacy of Goku games in Japanese
*snip* Wait... have you finally learned Japanese!? I always wondered what Japanese fans thought of Legacy of Goku 2. If I'm not mistaken it's the only Western-developed Dragon Ball game released in Japan, which isn't surprising because it is an anomalously quality product among the shite Webfoot an...

Re: Is it actually ever revealed how the Androids got so strong while being human?
Shouldn't never getting tired or running out of energy give someone a huge advantage? Even the Saiyans get tired and take long breaks, eat, sleep, etc... I mean, technically, couldn't #17 have been training on the island literally 24/7 since Cell was defeated? I suspect sleep would be unnecessary as...

Re: “I’m pretty cozy, here...”
In the simplest terms, one could consider a comma as an appropriate point in which to take a breath--if you were to say "I'm pretty cozy here," would it sound appropriate to inhale after 'cozy', or would it be reasonable for the listener to expect to receive something after hearing "h...

Re: Gotenks and Gohan can defeat Kid Buu according to Dragon Ball The legend of manga
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's taken on-board that what makes Kid Buu dangerous is his chaotic, animal-like mind and impulse to destroy, as opposed to his stronger but more controlled other forms.

Re: How long until Mr Popo gets cancelled?
Yep, the Z dub voice for Killa was undoubtedly racist. No debate about that one. Insane that they thought that was OK. What's weird is that in this instance, the dub was more racist than the original. He didn't have any problem talking and was just a normal guy basically in Japanese, but the dub ma...

Re: "Dragon Ball XENOVERSE 2" Official Discussion Thread
How far would the Xenoverse devs go with making the next game look better? I think it’s a given. Remember, Xenoverse 2 is built off PS3 technology (the first game released on PS3 and the two games look the same) and it wouldn’t make sense to go 5+ years and two generations without a visual overhaul...

Re: "Dragon Ball XENOVERSE 2" Official Discussion Thread
Well... at least this Gogeta has a new model, as opposed to the original SSJB Gogeta which was just original Gogeta with the Windows Paint bucket tool reskin. New Gogeta clearly has been using Rogaine because his hairline is much lower than the old school one.
