Re: When will Nozawa and Horikawa be replaced?
You know, people say they their performances are so compromised, as if they're so much harder to listen to than in the original run. And I find that to be greatly exaggerated. But, opinions are opinions, I guess. Nozawa and Horikawa are clearly iconic in those roles and their replacement would cause...

Re: Will there be a bidding war for who gets to air/stream any future Dragon ball anime?
Isn't Crunchyroll the former Funimation, who is officially licensed to dub and distribute Dragon Ball content throughout English-speaking countries? It would seem the most sense.Cure Dragon 255 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 03, 2023 6:27 pm OMG I forgot Crunchyroll! Yeah I dont want them to get it. If Pop doesnt get it I hope The Good Ol' BBC saves us!

Re: If faced with the choice of sacrificing the franchise's massive popularity
I would not sacrifice its popularity. Primarily because I think its popularity contributed a lot to what we have. If it wasn't popular, would Dragon Ball ever get past that initial Pilaf arc? Would we ever get Z? Would we get video games? Would we get the anime boom (in the US particularly) that we ...

Re: Plural of the word "Saiya-jin"
In my country, we chose to keep the word "Saiya-jin" instead of "Saiyan". It's funny because even JP themselves use "Saiyan" when rendering it in another language (Latin Alphabet-based ones but mainly English). On a few stray images here & there from the original Z...

Re: Show similar to dragon ball.
I have never thought that Sonic X is like Dragon Ball. From my very limited experience with anime, I would say that Yu Yu Hakusho feels like Dragon Ball (the afterlife elements, the fighting tournaments).

Re: Do you prefer reading the manga colored or black and white....? And also...
I've only read it in black and white. I have the full colored Japanese version, but never read it. It's pretty too flip through, but I don't know what the reading experience would be like. I would imagine it's really nice. It's probably more striking.
Man, Viz dropped the ball really hard there.

Re: Toei's fixation on Goku being the strongest
Well, his story is often the least interesting part of Dragon Ball , so I would imagine that's part of the issue here. That's subjective. And also, unproven, since there hasn't really been a Dragon Ball story that didn't feature Goku with the exception of the Z TV specials, Gohan's high school arc,...

Re: Toei's fixation on Goku being the strongest
Goku is the main protagonist and an icon whose drive is to be the strongest--it makes sense that the story would see him accomplishing this goal. What's everyone else's obsession with trying to put Goku in the backseat of his own story? Well, his story is often the least interesting part of Dragon ...

Re: Your opinion for the original 3 Dragon Ball movies.
I didn't really like them, to be honest. When I was a kid, getting VHS tapes of the first 13 episodes and first two movies, I thought that the movies were just great--but that's because I liked anything to do with Dragon Ball. As I got more desensitized to Dragon Ball (meaning, the "WOW!" ...

Re: unpopular opinion: kenji yammoto should have never got fired
Truthfully, it's not like he was really hiding the fact that he was "inspired" (for lack of a better word) by existing music. He took "inspiration" from very mainstream, well-known music. I guess the only real thing I can compare this to is wrestling. There have been countless in...

Re: Where is the most likely and/or most preferable place for Ocean's Dragon Ball Kai to be seen (in your view)?
The Ocean Kai dub is something that never seemed to have a purpose to begin with. Why do another english dub when Funi nailed it brilliantly the first time? The same could be said for the Westwood/Ocean and Blue Water dubs, but they do exist. The work was already done. The actors already got paid. ...
