Re: Should Kanzenshuu ban users for writing posts using AI and posting AI-generated images?
I expect Kanzenshuu to ban AI art, but my opinion is that it's fine and a lot of it is very much not slop; people call every last bit of it slop, even the obviously high-quality AI art, because people have zero capacity for nuance and jump on whatever bandwagon is currently popular. As for AI ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol" (20??) Discussion Thread
Amazed 2uper is actually happening, wish it hadn't had to have been close to a decade since, but always happy to get more Goku and Vegeta together (I don't count Daima since Vegeta was barely there even when he was present).
I hope it's fun. Less stopping to drop lore, more character moments ...

Re: Does Goku play up his innocence and ignorance?
It's worth noting that Goku has an actual job (him, Gohan, Krillin, maybe Yamcha? are the only ones in the main cast with an actual job), and his job consists of farming and selling his produce on the market of neighboring cities... so he must be pretty smart, smarter than he seems, yes? I mean ...

Re: Will they label the brand-new projects as one of Toriyama's last works for commercial reasons even if that's not tru
Can't say for sure, but I highly doubt anyone would believe that we'd be getting "one of Toriyama's last works" in 2050 or something, so even if they start to say this, I don't think they'd be able to keep doing it for too long

Re: Does Goku play up his innocence and ignorance?
I can't think of any specific examples, but broadly speaking I think it would be out-of-character for the Freeza arc and earlier, plausible for Cell, and very in-character by Buu. I think Goku becomes more clever and intelligent throughout the series and during the Buu arc actually seems slightly ...

Re: I'm genuinely tired of the endless wars in the DB fandom.
There's constant bickering in every group of people both large and small. Friends, family, fandoms. No getting away from it. People are just inherently toxic.

Re: Who is the most demanding character to voice in Dragon Ball?
Whoever screams the most. So Goku. Possibly Vegeta since Chris Sabat's already doing this gravelly raspy voice for that character and then has to scream in that specific voice.
Screaming's bad for your vocal chords (if the state of Paul Stanley's voice is any indication lol) and also there's that ...

Re: Should the Saban dub get another release?
The 'Clint Eastwood' voice direction for Saiyan and Freeza era Gohan is pretty hilarious. :lol: A gruff hardened cool guy voice would be wildly inappropriate for him even at the very end of the series when he's 26 because that's just not his personality, but trying to give that kind of voice type to ...

Re: How likely is it that Vegeta at least knew his mother?
I think that between Tarble and Gine and Beets and some of the background Saiyans, it’s pretty clear that the “every Saiyan lives to fight, they are all battle-hungry, bloodthirsty maniacs devoid of compassion or intelligence” line is a lot of propaganda. We’ve met enough Saiyans by now to ...

Re: How likely is it that Vegeta at least knew his mother?
I assume the families stay together in a traditional nuclear family sense - the idea was nothing new to Vegeta after getting with Bulma and having two kids anyway.
I don’t know. Vegeta ditched his pregnant wife/infant son to go train by himself in space, and made a big show out of not caring ...

Re: Everyone just collectively forgot about Daima's first 18 episodes.
I don't mind Dragon Ball GT turning Goku into a kid. I think the first SSJ4 transformation should have been where he permanently returns to adulthood, but the childhood transformation was a reasonably interesting premise and motivation. I just didn't enjoy GT because it's not really that... uh ...

Re: Everyone just collectively forgot about Daima's first 18 episodes.
I liked early Daima pretty well - everything until the A Team and B Team met up. It was interesting when it was just Goku, Kaioshin, Panzy, and Glorio. Everything past that was... nothing really.

Okay. I haven't read much of this thread, but given that I'm seemingly much more familiar with AI than anyone else here, I think I should give Kanzenshuu a primer.

Re: How would you feel about AI being used for deceased voice actors?
In the article about the Chicago Sun-Times, no mention is made of the AI program that was used (might have been a lower-tier model). I use AI extensively enough; fabrications are rare, especially if the Search function is turned on so that the AI sources everything it says. Hallucinating two-thirds ...

AI is good and I favor its use in almost any regard. If the VA consents before their death then there isn't any problem here.

Re: "Goku is scared of Raditz" dub comparisons
I always thought Goku felt fear VS Radditz because it was the first time he was facing an enemy and he was already a father.
When you get children, life changes. For Goku, it was not just a matter of fighting a strong enemy, this guy had kidnapped his child!
Therefore his dialogue makes sense ...

Re: Could Dr. Gero have been inspired by Dr. Robotnik?
If we're drawing similarities, I think doctor Wily from Megaman has much more in common with doctor Gero, but still, I don't think Toriyama got inspiration from either of them (Wily or Robotnik).
What do Wily and Gero have in common? I know that they're both old (or at least look like they are ...

Yeah, I don't have the knowledge of art to handle this conversation, I think.

It's just something you get a feel for with exposure. Mainly centered around the shape and design of the eyes.
