Re: DragonBall Z Abridged

...Ms. Welker, you have (NEEDLESSLY) given more ammunition to the "Vic stans" and those like them. I hope you're pleased with yourself.

Stuff like this just makes it harder for victims to be believed and easier for scum to say "look at how easy these people lie".

Re: DragonBall Z Abridged

So, bad news: TFS has a documented history of covering up the predatory behavior of their associates.

Re: How is Hell able to contain these increasingly strong villains?

I suppose, but it's like Lionel said: The franchise has made such a habit of perpetually upping the ante that the idea of anything having a hard limit kinda sticks out like a sore thumb. If something exists it must have finite durability, and if it has finite durability that means Goku can train unt...

How is Hell able to contain these increasingly strong villains?

I know Toriyama isn't a "world-building" kinda writer: He writes what needs to be written for the current situation. That works, but it also raises a bunch of unintentional questions: The villains that Goku and friends are killing at this point are stronger than absolutely all of the "...

Re: What are the odds of us getting 4:3 Blu-rays of the Bardock/Trunks specials?

That said, I heard Funi junked their film masters of DB sometime in the past 12 years, so even if Funi were interested in doing a good job, they couldn't do DB anymore, unless they transferred all their masters in HD back in 2007-2013 when they transferred Z and the movies. They never had film of G...

On a similar note: We ain't ever seein' the DBK Buu arc again in any ratio, so we're stuck with the cropped version.

Re: What are the odds of us getting 4:3 Blu-rays of the Bardock/Trunks specials?

And something I forgot about because I almost never watch them: We still need the four animated DB films in widescreen. The DVDs are 4:3. But frankly, the fact that we don't have DB or GT on Blu-ray at all is pretty good indication that a movie rerelease is out of the question.

What are the odds of us getting 4:3 Blu-rays of the Bardock/Trunks specials?

With DBZ being released on 4:3 Blu-ray at long last, that would leave the two TV specials as the odd men out, what with being cropped to widescreen for the "movie" line of releases. Will we see a proper rerelease, or will they just sort of fall through the cracks?

Re: Questions for Gerard Jones? Upcoming Viz Manga Adapter Interview

There's a closing window of opportunity to speak with Gerard. He may never be heard from again, and then we may never get answers to our questions. So is it better to shun the man for his crimes and never hear the answers we seek, or to try and separate the man's work from his crimes long enough in...

Re: Official "Super DB Heroes 2018 Promotional Anime" Discussion Thread

In the manga Cumber went crazy when he saw Goku in SSJ God state. He said something like: "A Saiyan with red hair!" and attacked him straight away. That means he must have seen SSJ God in the past, probably even fought against one. And considering Yamoshi lost that fight... yeah, that cou...

Re: Broly, Kanba and Shallot

That's something I've always found juvenile, fanboy-ish, and off-putting about DB fandom: People making up their own names for things. If you speak / write in English, use the official English names. No "Beers," "Blooma," or "Gokou." I personally prefer "Freeza&qu...

Vegetto won the beam clash, only for Cumber to effortlessly launch a second attack that dissipated Vegetto's beam and knocked him into a crater.

Re: Official "Super DB Heroes 2018 Promotional Anime" Discussion Thread

Yeah, I think Cumber just became the single most powerful enemy in the history of the franchise. He beat Vegetto. Clean. And he did it in base form. And as far as we know, he's just... some guy that Fu found in the past.

As excited as I am for this, the very real possibility that it will never come Stateside (just like the manga) is putting a damper on everything.

Did the "Dragon Books" in the Japanese box sets specify arc divisions?

Just curious: The Dragon Boxes gave specific breakdowns for when a particular arc begins and ends, so I was wondering if the Kai box sets did the same.
