Putting that music in probably ranks for me the biggest cardinal sin FUNimation did with their dub of the series. It's like they wanted to see how far they could take their creative liberties. It's such a distortion and departure from what dubbing should be which is merely taking foreign content and...

I did find it tedious, although that's no different from Budokai 3's story mode for me. I actually find Infinite World's solution of just running around with a little Goku instantly going to fights/grabbing objects a lot more efficient than having a whole-ass loading screen for some slideshow of dia...

Dragon Ball is Goku's story and no DB series should be centered on the next generation. This 100%! I was always put off by all the ideas people had of the torch truly being passed to Gohan after Cell. Like, I'm just going to say it... Gohan is kind of boring. I like the character, but he doesn't ev...

Freeza would be my absolute favorite choice. He accepts the job, but then there would be some vague strings attached that Whis could hold over him that wouldn't allow him to follow through with his evil plans and he would basically be trapped having to do his job as a God of Destruction. Every time ...

I don't know a lot about being 83 given that I don't reach that age until 2070, but if she says that the role isn't that much of a strain on her, I'll take her at her word. I don't see any reason to assume she's lying or is somehow mistaken. Not that I have any reason to doubt her, but I find it qu...

I thought I heard something about her having an understudy, though perhaps that was just speculation given the fact that it would only make sense at this point. I don't think anything particularly formal would be in the spirit of the series though, honestly. Toei tried it with GT, but finality just ...

This argument just doesn't make sense at all. From the jump, liking one thing in and of itself does not mean you're a "weeb". Take me for example, I don't even really like anime in general but I love Dragon Ball, and strictly the Japanese version. And surely if you're someone who exclusively watches...

Cheers. Thinking about it a little more though, I find that certain kind of dub fan is, for whatever reason, rampant on YouTube and not much else. I find in real life, a lot of people are just normies who have no knowledge or strong bias either way toward the series in a meta sense. They consumed th...

*snip* If FUNimation had any interest in ever doing a faithful adaptation, they would've recast everyone in Kai. The flip-flop on dub-isms ("Makankosappo" -> "Special Beam Cannon") further cemented their lack of interest in doing such a thing. There was no reason to continue having Schemmel's godaw...

My solution is to just watch it subbed as I've done for 15 years with no regrets. As long as "Hercule" is still uttered, Kaio still sounds like... that and Buu still speaks in third person, I won't go near it with a ten-foot pole. Though, from what I've observed, it seems like FUNimation leaned way ...

I don't think DLC being released has anything to do with what their plans are for XV3. Copying and pasting the Chronoa character model to playable form and designing a few specials isn't going to take anything away from the development of a sequel. If anything, they have a tiny team devoted to DLC.....

Those first two Dragon Ball films managed to miss my radar, as they were rather elusive in physical format back when that was a concern and I would’ve been most interested. Though, didn’t they have a run in a collection with the other Dragon Ball features at Walmart in the states some years ago? Eit...

Back in 2000 at a friend's house. I had a tape recorder that I carried with me everywhere (I was 10, mind you) and didn't have cable, so I filled up a cassette tape with audio of some DBZ episodes and listened back to them over and over. I thought it was a wrestling cartoon or something at the time,...

He could be interesting, but my issue is he’s now the opposite extreme of where Super Goku is. Being more serious is fine and, but Goku should never not have that child like sense of wonder. Xeno Goku almost acts like what much of the US fanbase THINKS Goku is based on the Funi dub of old. Y-yeah, ...

There were peaks and valleys when it comes to my satisfaction with everything from 2013 onward. Although I am grateful there has been new content, the novelty of anything new has more or less worn off. I remember when the art for Dragon Ball Online was released, it was a big fucking deal simply beca...

I would've liked for them to be given to the other races to begin with. I know this is the "Saiyan Show", but giving Piccolo or Tenshinhan or something some kind of edge that would make them competitive would've been nice. Especially Piccolo who still fights despite always getting his ass kicked. :c...

Nothing at all. The original version of the character was already overexposed a decade ago, let's not do the same with the new and improved version.

I think the line of thinking that Saiyans generally don't have much interest in sex beyond procreation makes a lot of sense. I don't think there's ever been much of an example of a full-blooded Saiyan that we've seen that had much interest in a relationship in general, much less sex. In Vegeta's cas...

The singular purpose of "modernizing" the series existed during the mid-late 90's, and only if you are a corporation whose sole goal with marketing the series is to target young kids. There's no evidence that the Faulconer soundtrack had any effect whatsoever on its popularity. I don't remember, as ...

Any of the Ginyu guys, really. Ginyu himself, Jheece and Butta never really struck me as being bad characters. Circumstances and loyalty to Freeza put them against Goku & co., but otherwise they seem relatively "normal" and not psychopathic or anything. Dabura too. He had Babidi turn against him. He...
