Re: If Dragon Ball is a worldwide mainstream children's franchise...


I feel like Dragon Ball currently relies a lot on nostalgia in order to maintain a semblance of relevance much like how Digimon does. Both of their franchises have new movies with limited releases and their shows are not market to kids in the states. At least, DB is still more relevant with it ...

Re: If Dragon Ball is a worldwide mainstream children's franchise...


I wouldn't say it's no longer marketed at children in the West. Funimatation's edited dub of Dragon Ball Super aired on Pop. Fortnite which is big with kids and teens had licensed the IP among with the 50,000 other IPs they license (anecdotelly the Fortnite promotion seems to be a big reason kids ...

Re: If Dragon Ball is a worldwide mainstream children's franchise...


I felt that the Dragon Ball franchise is no longer marketed towards kids in Western countries, in comparison to Japan where the franchise has always been marketed towards kids there, hence being marketed towards the shonen (young boys) demographic.

But what if the Dragon Ball franchise is a ...

Re: Why change the script?


SO the Latin American dub didn't get an Uncut version? That sucks but that may explain why many Spanish fans like the JPN dub, it allows them to see the show Uncut. (Not all Latin fans of course. I'm speaking in general terms. I'm sure many Spanish fans may just like the JPN dub) Anyway so Funi ...

This implies absolutely every single Spanish Language DB Fancomic is non comedic, there are comics that are big on comedy. Also I said that despite the major censorship to OG DB's humor, it was still pretty funny and it was the comedic angle that helped it succeed at first in Latin ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima trailer, October release date announced

I do wonder what will streaming services do with Daima's first episode, Dragon Ball Ireland told me they cut some scenes from Friends and I looked that up, and it turns out none of the extended Footage made it onto Netflix. Especially episodes with longer lengths for their first broadcast.

Re: Dragon Ball Daima trailer, October release date announced



I REALLY hope this late timeslot is to allow Roshi to sexually harrass women. I know this is an oddly specific fear but I think there really isnt anything to justify it airinig so late.


It would be weird to see an elderly Roshi (or any other elderly character) mixed with all the chibi ...

Re: Why change the script?


It is thing amongst the Spanish fans. Spanish fans don't get into Dragon Ball's comedy, for them it's all about the fights and transformations. When was the last time you saw a Spanish fan comic of Dragon Ball Z filled with humor? I love og DB's jokes for example, dirty Roshi, panty jokes and all ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima trailer, October release date announced


I wonder if the late time slot means that we'll get blood again. It was really uncanny watching Super's Future Trunks/Zamasu arc and seeing Goku and Vegeta both suffer stab wounds and not bleed from them.


It wasnt the timeslot that really forced Super to not have blood, but rather that its a ...

No worries. It's definitely never made clear how they feel ultimately about their original decision, so we're just left to interpret how they might. It's possible

So on September 1st One Piece is coming to BBC iPlayer in the UK. Super, Dragon Quest Dai and Pokemon Journeys were on this service so I guess the BBC's interest in anime is growing. Maybe we could see more Dragon Ball pop up there in future?

Re: What sort of "Toei Time Stalling Techiniques" You DONT mind?

I absolutely loved the post that likened the stare contests with the western epics of Sergio Leone, it is REALLY rare that anime is that atmospheric with the pace. People constantly insist My Hero Academia has great pace but I just dont like it.

I really hope that Toriyama didnt really write the scripts but rather Quality Controlled them... Because if he wrote each one that would have taken months and he probably died by episode 10.

Oh SURE, the Orange Bricks ARE peak incompetence and previous releases were objectively better. But after a point Toei realized "If we release a good release, that's it, we will have zero excuse to re ...
