Re: Unpopular DB opinions


I don't care for Abridged, but just block and go on with your day. If people want to talk about it, it doesn't mean that you need to engage with it.


I never said I did engage with it? I just said it sucks and I think it has had a negative impact on the franchise.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions

Abridged is terrible and has poisoned the discourse around the franchise.

I'm sick of hearing about it like it’s a legitimate way to experience Dragon Ball.

Re: Is Dragon Ball Z, Super, and Daima consider to be "Holy Trinity"?

For me it's Dragon Ball, Z and Daima.

There is a lot to like in Super (Beerus and Whis) but it's just so wildly variable. Daima while smaller in scope feels like a much better bookend to the original story to me.

Re: Episode #0517 (09 March 2025)

Great episode - always love having Ajay on the show.

I aligned pretty close to his thoughts - Daima isn't a perfect show, but taken on its own terms its an enjoyable one.

As for where I want the series to go next - I'm not really sure. Without Toriyama's involvement I find it difficult to get ...

Personally I blame the Funimation dub and the Bruce Faulconer score.

Re: Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z Classic Movies - Seed of Might White Balance

Absolutely incredible work as always - did some spot checking myself this morning and they look amazing on my 4K OLED using the custom mpv Mac build I got from your discord.

To anyone not wanting to muck around with stuff like that they also look superb running on infuse on my Apple TV 4K.

Re: All-purpose Dragon Ball sale/trade thread.

Any Australians looking to pick up 2/3 of the Kanzenban, the Chogashu and pretty much every guidebook up until Super?

Happy to take photos and catalogue everything if people are interested. They weigh a ton so shipping will be severe.

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.


This is insane. Also, the outpouring of love and reverence for this great man reminds me of something. A little under a decade ago now, when Kale was first introduced, I made a post asking how everyone feels about Super pulling from past concepts for modern material. Seems okay enough, right? Well ...

I enjoyed the chapter but what happened to Toyotaro’s art. The panelling in this is dire. So stilted an uninspired.

A great episode - I'll admit when I viewed the trailer I didn't really put much thought into the images displayed on the screen up through the Boo arc having any baring on where this takes place chronlogicallly. I was honestly pretty sceptical of drawing any conclusions from it but after hearing the ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 97 - Official Discussion Thread

I did not expect to enjoy this retelling as much as I have. I am far from a fan of Toyo's art but man as he hit his stride these last few chapters, with some flat out gorgeous illustrations and fun panelling.

Glad to hear it. If you don't mind me asking, what is the resolution of that OLED screen?


It's an LG C2 so 4k.

So far I've only watched a few episodes via Infuse on my Apple TV 4K and it looks great - but there's no support for anything like spline36 sadly.
