Re: DB - A Superhero Story?

They're similar in terms of a few genre terms, I suppose, but Dragon Ball is born of a completely different background than where Superhero stories come from. Dragon Ball doesn't maintain some of the more basic tropes of the Superhero genre, so I don't see them in the same light. Kunzait and Mr. Mar...

Re: U6 Saiyan arc?

Why would somebody on Sadala have to be super strong to make for an interesting arc? What a silly assumption. Saiyans have been done to death in the series, so a 2-4 episode mini-arc (as mentioned above) would suit very nicely to explore whatever is going on over there. Anything beyond that would li...

Re: What was your first experience with the Japanese version and what was your first impression?

Makes me wonder if they got some new voice direction or something, because it was the exact same time the "adadadadadadada" stuff became more prevalent too which is the only scrutiny I have for the Japanese version at the moment. It's a small complaint though. It's hard to say. I'm sure t...

Re: What was your first experience with the Japanese version and what was your first impression?

Became a fan of DBZ (aka the FUNI/Ocean dub) in 1997. Initial exposure to the original Japanese was largely via movie DVD's and Budokai 3 special edition (the version with the JP cast option was a bitch to obtain, as I recall). Somewhere along the line around 2003 somebody (probably on this forum) ...

Re: Caulifla: SSJ 3 or Ikari?

I would be tremendously surprised for "Super Saiyan Ikari" to ever make an appearance again. I would also prefer Caulifla not transform. Already been overindulged.

Re: Where's the Full Limit Break X Survivor???

Uh...how do you feel about fanmade English covers? Performing cover songs is a long-held tradition in music that fosters talent and a deeper appreciation of music. It is not the same as "lulz ripped and uploaded a song to the Youtubes!" Anyway, I strongly recommend the 94Stones / Mark De ...

Re: So, we ARE getting The Full Version of Limit Break x Survivor !

Bump or otherwise, this song is far-and-away the best piece to happen in Dragon Ball since the 90's. There are already many versions of it that I appreciate differently and uniquely from one another (piano, orchestral, English, Tee Lopes. original, etc). HERO in BoG was really great, but this has ma...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

Just not gonna bother reading any posts since the new chapter came out. I don't need to end up in a fit of rage. New chapter was great. Diversity between Destroyers was established tremendously and I expect that such a matter will be further addressed in the future. This version of Toppo is great, a...

Every day for the next 730 days is pre-emptively ruined just knowing its shadow looms.

Sure, there are all sorts of unlicensed illegal uploads of all sorts of things in lots of places, but that's not really relevant here.

Re: What happened to having henchmen?

Stuff Bullshitting? Get serious. My expectations are that there will be some great episodes, some bad episodes, and a lot of stuff in between. Dragon Ball is neither trash nor high art. The ToP has not generally surprised or disappointed me very much. I take the elimination of U9 as a way to make r...

Re: What happened to having henchmen?

The ToP has accomplished something similar by having such an absurd amount of characters present all at once. I still miss the Ginyu Force, though. So much love. Problem with that is it's no fun watching Goku and Vegeta wipe out henchmen with no effort. What ever happened to letting the weaker char...

I've seen a lot of people voice their disdain dor the dub. Is there any particular reason? Does it make script changes or add things? Is there a list of inaccuracies that's been compiled anywhere?
