Kanzenshuu

I used to think Chaozu was Tenshinhan's son.
Thought I was the only one who believed that lol.

Before I knew what GT was I used to confuse images of GT Goku and Goten. GT Goku having a tail made it worse since Gohan had a tail when he was little so why wouldn't his brother?

Speaking of GT I ...

I remember there was a time when Toonami was dislike by a lot of anime fans on the web. You had anime fans that hated Toonami for watering down anime for little kids. I remember there was many fans that DBZ to be on a different channel so that it can be uncut.
True but the average kid then wasn't ...

When exactly did this shift? I'm assuming it was when the fans of the broadcast dub grew up. Year-wise, was there a time period where everyone suddenly started defending the dub, and it was catching everyone by surprise?
Once the internet became more accessible the shift was inevitable but imo the ...

I don't have a strong negative or positive opinion of him as a character as like Vegetto he just exists in the clusterfuck that is the Buu saga, though I do dislike fusion as a whole. I do enjoy his attacks as they feel like random on the fly DB goofiness that I'd expect from a kid whose watched too ...

The entire series itself isn't deep so I think that makes it not serious though not necessarily childish in a negative sense. I'd use the term kid friendly where regardless of how dire things become it all works out. Even when things don't work out life is still presented as fine which is where the ...

I don't see how wanting a new series to not have the same pitfalls and flaws the previous entries had is expecting too much.

Dragon Ball as a whole has always been a mixed bag to me and unlike many I do not hold Z in high regard so Super held no promise for me. Even so I'm troubled by the notion ...

^Nope not a rehash just an expansion on the concept of the Tsufurujins that largely faded away (in Z) after the filler episode. Baby is nothing like Freeza as his revenge is based in reality not fear of what might so he's more akin to Dr. Raichi though what surviving Tsufurujin wouldn't have a ...

I enjoy the series mostly for its comedy which is why I've watched the Search for the Dragon Ball arc more times than anything else but I'd be open to more depth or even seriousness if done correctly and at the appropriate times. Don't see it ever happening any time soon though.

It'd also largely ...

Maybe because the series is too much of a hodgepodge to get everything 100% right. Tie that in with whats marketable/profitable (Goku, Vegeta, Super Saiyans) and you just get fluctuating mediocrity which to me is what Dragon Ball is post the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai. There just isn't much left to do ...

I just use numbers because the Japanese ones are too long and vague while the Funi ones at times are also too obvious.

The one that bothers me most is "Burn Up!! A Close Fight - A Violent Fight - A Super Fierce Fight". It always sounded like it was trying too hard to convince me to watch yet was ...

I only have 50 Panini TCG cards but only by accident as my mom got them for me thinking all DBZ cards were the same (I wanted the Hero Collection cards). I also have a few Ani-Mayhem cards, anyone remember those? I never learned how to play since most kids were busy with Pokemon which I never ...

I don't see the characters being made fun of, they're just participating in a gag which isn't insulting when given proper context for the scene. Akin to what Wezenheim and DBZAOTA said, whether its actually funny or not is probably the biggest deciding factor in whether its a crime Toei/Toriyama ...

Yup those are ones in that photo, I never got a good shot of them as they're been boxed up for awhile like most of my non-Vegeta figures. I also have two vol. 5 of SS Goku on Namek, I'd like to sell one but I doubt anyone will buy it as the box is damaged.
Also yes I'm a her

As much as I don't want to acknowledge her existence let alone Bardock being lovey dovey with her I'd be fine with establishing who Gine truly is beyond being a sucky fighter and Bardock's "woman" (I use quotes because I kinda refuse to accept her).
Still I can't see a easy way to do this beyond ...

*retracts hug*
*shakes fist at soppa saia people*
*goes back to crying*
Nah its fine, I've never really placed a lot of stock in how fans feel before why suddenly start now? lol

I mainly collect figures so I don't have as much as others. Hopefully I'll have an update of the new room in my new place soon.

What about DBZAOTA ?
*hugs DBZAOTA*
Now that both my waifus are accounted for I can fret over Pan as if I care if she's liked. I'm kind of impressed Beerus and Whis are getting votes over others that have been around way longer, like has anyone else voted for Trunks yet lol? I almost did but I ...

Thought this was for a US Eng release at first and got super hyped but still great news. Not having the DB portion in a physical form is what kept me from buying the Z portion, now I have no more excuses and by the end of it I won't have any money left either.

Aww alright but does this mean GT variations are being counted as the same character too, ie GT Trunks=Trunks=/=Future Trunks. I ask because many separate the GT versions of characters.
Yes. Or else we would end up with Manga Goku, Movie 8 Broly, GT Oob, etc... Which is a pointless differentiation ...

I don't think the series' enjoyment comes from the typical dire consequences always looming. With Dragon Ball I feel its more about the journey not necessarily the destination which we know is always going to be "Goku/Vegeta/maybe Gohan saves the day". Yeah sometimes that journey is boring as fuck ...
