Re: Should Goku continue to be the main character or someone else becomes the main character

I'm not against Goku being main character, just make him evolve and learn from mistake, none of this "Goku is not good person" BS or giving senzu bean to enemy, or making him downright retard like in Super...

Re: Times that the series did genuine foreshadowing?

The Saiyans arc ends with the Freeza arc starting right after, but nothing during the Saiyans arc foreshadows that a horned small alien guy with a army would be the villain in the next arc, and that he would want the dragon balls.. Kaio mentioned, that killing Vegeta won't get rid of "true evi...

If David Productions or Ufotable did it, and they would get proper budget and time, then i think it would work :)

Re: Does DBS really blatantly copy tropes this much?

It's not really tropes that are probleems for me, but copy stuff from fanfics:
- Evil Kaioshin and Evil Goku (Dragon Ball AF)
- Freeza returning with BS power up, i remember i ve read similar fanfiction in 2002

Re: Concurrent Manga and Target Audiences - Older Fans left out?

To be fair, Tokyo Mew Mew New aired last season, it was more accurate adaptation, and Kish is still same creep towards Ichigo, and yesterday 1st episode of Urusei Yatsura remake aired, and Ataru is still same womanizer, so if Toei wanted to put dirty jokes back in, but it was more of original Dragon...

Re: Polish Dragon Ball translation

They also did a lector version of the OG Sailor Moon anime run, though in that case they were translating over the original Japanese version instead of some other countries' dub like Dragon Ball/Z and at least part of GT before apparently switching to the Japanese version. What's interesting, is th...

Re: Polish Dragon Ball translation

I'm from Poland too :) From what i heard, lots of those silly dialogue and name changes were already in French dub and lots of countries in Europe dubs were translated from French too, fortunately 2001 - 2003 manga had proper translation from Japanese original :)

Re: Why is Kai disliked a lot/ not as popular?

because the animations wasn't re-animated in the style of openings and endings. We dodged a bullet. This, 100% Imagine Dragon Ball Z, but animated in the plastic, stiff, bloodless , overly squash-and-stretch style of 2010s Yamamuro Shudders..... Now I'd be fine with it done in the style of the 2008...

Re: Why is Kai disliked a lot/ not as popular?

Has there ever been a reason officially given for the change? I could've sworn someone on here said it was due to stricter standards in Japan when Kai aired. It would make sense given the lack of blood in Super. I believe that Japanese broadcasting has become more strict since the series first aire...

For me, it's only when you are fan of English dub (And even that, its only until Freeza Saga, after that, probably due to various personal circumstances and Yamamoto scandal, it became sloppier): - Very sloppy editing (especially during Saiyan Saga, if i remember correctly, they even replaced person...

Re: Favorite and least favorite recast (Japanese version)

I honestly wish that they had just re-cast everyone for Dragon Ball Kai and onward. It would have been much more fitting. I'll go further and say they should have reanimated it completely and start with adapting chapter 1. Same, but then again, back then it would probably be done by Yamamuro :(
