Re: How Eguchi Hisashi's Manga About a Trans Girl Nearly Ended "Dr. Slump" Early
This is all super fascinating stuff, but as always, I wonder if the real story is somewhere in the middle, or at least muddled a little bit. We've been repeatedly told that Dr. Slump 's popularity started taking off wildly once things like tournaments and longer story arcs were introduced... which i...

Re: "Sparking! ZERO" Official Announcement & Pre-Release Discussion Thread
V-Jump is released on the 21st of each month, barring a Sunday or holiday, in which case it gets moved up slightly to accommodate. You can purchase issues of V-Jump on Amazon Japan -- they ship internationally. Bandai Namco typically ties in their own social media posts with new game content announ...

Re: Why are most people complaining about Funimation's 16:9 cropping in DBZ but not Toei's 16:9 cropping in DBZ Kai?
We did, though — 15 and 10 years ago when it was relevant to discuss those specific things (the TV broadcast and Boo arc, respectively). Kai was also its own separate thing, however, and didn’t replace the original product. The cropping of the actual original product is more significant and has had ...

Re: Has Toriyama ever worked as an assistant?
Nope, he went straight from contest submissions to direct serialization as far as we've ever been told. We know he had hundreds upon hundreds of rejected pages before this, but Akira Toriyama debuted within the pages of Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump in November 1978 with Wonder Island . Wonder Islan...

Re: Furuya Tooru (Yamcha) Admits to Physically Abusing Woman He Had An Affair With
Because what he did is disgusting he should be fired or recast, do you think it will change anything to what he did? will it change the world? The colloquial meaning of "insanity" is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. At the risk of going insane by repeati...

Re: Furuya Tooru (Yamcha) Admits to Physically Abusing Woman He Had An Affair With
I'm not going to keep repeating the exact same things over and over, because you're clearly not invested in actually reading anything. The implications of him keeping voice acting roles was already just explained to you in the very post you quoted.

Re: Furuya Tooru (Yamcha) Admits to Physically Abusing Woman He Had An Affair With
Furuya literally admitted to all of this on the record and made his own public statement.
Are you reading anything at all? Anything?
You can't be for real.

Re: Furuya Tooru (Yamcha) Admits to Physically Abusing Woman He Had An Affair With
To me, Toru Furuya will remain Yamcha, Seiya etc.... i don't see anything that can justify him being recast except if he goes in jail before episodes recordings. His voice and his work have nothing to do with the asshole human being behind it i basically don't agree with everything he could have do...

Re: The end of "Akira Toriyama canon"
I don't see how they're comparable, though. The old movies contemporary with serialization were 45-50 minute side-story features intended for airing exclusively in Japan as part of double- and triple-features at the Toei Anime Fair events, with later home video releases. The modern movies are all 90...
