Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

Toei as a whole seems to have learned from early DBS. Like, say what you will about the storytelling in the Universe Survival arc, but I think one thing that can't really be denied is that the production did indeed manage to hold together throughout. And, yeah, they are clearly taking their time wi...

Re: One Piece Remake, fans are so lucky...

I dunno I think even Toriyama's more sociopathic Goku loves Goten. How did he react in the manga version of Zamasu killing Goten and Chichi? The manga didn't have that bit. All that was there in the manga was Goku asking where the version of him that Zamasu hijacked was, to which Zamasu/Black says ...

Re: One Piece Remake, fans are so lucky...

I hope Toriayma got his "Goku's is a literal idiot" out of his system already, got his troll fun and will do something decent with his character again in the future. Or retire him completly 'cause what's the point anymore. I kinda get the feeling that Toriyama saw how utterly wrong Goku's...

Re: One Piece Remake, fans are so lucky...

Sheesh, I'm glad that I gave up on Crystal after the first cour—which was enough of a terrible experience with the non-existent production schedule, animation, and directing. It's such a shame that Takanashi Yasuharu's music is the one great thing to come of it. I think that it's a terrible shame t...

Re: One Piece Remake, fans are so lucky...

Tbf my biggest problem with Crystal is what they did change from the manga, at least in the first season In the manga the Inners killed the Shitennou and Venus even killed Beryl with the Moon sword. It made them seem a lot more useful than in the anime when they rarely got to kill a monster of the ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

It amazes me we haven't had a Super tv series since 2018 we have a brand new Dragon Ball series coming this year and people are still like "Dragon Ball Super season 2 is totally still happening y'all 😃" Thing is, between the manga and the movies, Super has never really gone away. And at t...

Re: The History of Dragon Ball in Every Country

Thanks, Vegard. Sorry to hear about the low-quality releases in Norway. It must be frustrating that they change the names, but at least the overall trend is improving. That last bit about the F-bombs made me laugh. Reminds me of the American fan-subs from the late '90s where they added a lot of cur...

Re: One Piece Remake, fans are so lucky...

On Twitter the official account shared the song the opening, or some promotional music for this new series. And it’s AI. Not a good look. This isn't actually related to the anime at all. It's something Oda generated using AI and sent in. People have conflated the anime's statement about "new t...

Re: The History of Dragon Ball in Every Country

So I just looked at what you have for Norway and it does seem to be rather out of date. The manga got a second release in Norwegian starting in 2016, done in a 3-in-1 format with a brand new translation. There was a fair bit of weirdness with the names but aside from that it was a much better transl...

Just say you love MAPPA and have an agenda against Wit Studio instead of blaming Wit Studio for something they don't do and doing this fake narrative. I literally gave you a direct quote from a director at Studio Wit outright bragging about how hard working there was for the animators. Now to be fa...

"Mappa somehow managed to make that disaster look comfortable by comparison" lol wut. MAPPA did an awful job of adapting AoT. They even got more time than Wit Studio and every episode from MAPPA was ugly disaster CGI junkfest. Wit Studio's Season 3 quality is all-time high. The only reaso...

Re: One Piece Remake, fans are so lucky...

The Wit Studio slander here is surprising. I've never heard of any examples where Wit Studio has overworked its employees or that the working conditions there is bad. I guess since MAPPA took over AoT the fans got brainrot and started confusing MAPPA with Wit Studio. I even read a few comments that...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 100 - Official Discussion Thread

Well. I was wrong. I thought for sure the end of the Super Hero arc would not last the entire chapter and that there would be a tease at what came next. Which, uh, unless you count the added bit of "Oh no, Carmine is still scheming!" which I really cannot say piques my interest much at all...

Re: One Piece Remake, fans are so lucky...

Sure, One Piece's pacing is shit, but they obviously could have DB-Kai'd it with even easier results due to the original footage and audio not having decayed over time (heck, Funi wouldn't need to redub it either). The original footage may not have decayed... But the entire East Blue arc was stored...

Re: One Piece Remake, fans are so lucky...

I'm not familiar with One Piece too much, only read 1st volume of manga, did it go different route from manga similar to original Tokyo Mew Mew or Fruits Basket anime? If yes, remake could make sense, original still goes on, but first arcs are almost 25 year old :) In like the first year the series...

Re: DragonBall Z Abridged

Also, I'm rewatching the first part of Totally Not Mark's retrospective on the Buu Saga. When did Goten ever pronounce it "Keme-kame-ha" instead of "Kame-hame-ha"? Was that in the English dub? I know Lani's mentioned that Goten did that, but when? I don't remember it. He explici...

Re: AB Video to release original Dragon Ball on Blu-Ray

It's probably the same deal with why they don't want to make good remasters of anything that's on 16mm film even though they could (i.e. being complete dinosaur cheapskates). It really isn't. Remastering old film takes a lot of time, effort and money. The thing with the GT broadcast audio is... the...

Re: AB Video to release original Dragon Ball on Blu-Ray

And for a relevant example as it concerns the franchise, according to some conversations here they apparently have high quality audio for GT but still went with optical for releases anyway. Should this be true then it only shows that they just aren't the least bit interested in this sort of thing. ...

Re: AB Video to release original Dragon Ball on Blu-Ray

Wasn't there something not too long ago about how they apparently had a design for box 2? Which indicated that things were, indeed, progressing towards a release?
