Kanzenshuu

(Coming out of a 10 year hibernation from this site to comment....)

Daima definitely had ups and downs but overall I'm glad it was short, sweet, and made a mark on the franchise. A """""canon""""" SSJ4 is something that would have been unimaginable since 1996, and I'm sure it's going to be ...

Demo's up in EU/AU!

Just started playing so need to collect my thoughts on it a bit. Most interesting thing right now is it's Japanese voice track only - unsure whether that just for the demo, just for outside of NA, or what, but certainly surprising to hear "Osu! Ora Gokuu!" on the Home Menu.

Since I see the 'Z' portion of Dragon Ball being Gohan growing in order to surpass his father, I think as great and climactic as the Freeza saga was it shouldn't have ended there.

That's the exact reason why I can't fathom Freeza being a possible endpoint. There's zero closure other than a big ...

I'm surprised I'm still on the fourth page considering my inactivity here - I'd be shocked if more than 200 of my posts had been made this decade.

I'm 90% sure that logo is just a placeholder..... or, at least that's what I'm telling myself. The Super does look pretty rad and that part does seem like it could be in a final logo, but obviously the copy and paste of Dragon Ball is just lazy, lazy, lazy. Crossing all my fingers and toes that the ...

The very existence of Otokosuki tells me exactly how Dragon Ball would treat an LGBT character.

It's a pretty cynical belief to say "no thanks" to representation because you know it's going to be horrible, and yes it is sadly a fact that a majority of Japanese depictions of LGBT people are far from ...

So I just saw the movie today and want to give some of my thoughts of it.

I enjoyed it but certainly didn't love it. It was a total rush to watch Dragon Ball on the big screen for the first time but there were a lot of flaws I couldn't help feeling the whole time throughout.

The fighting scenes ...

Love Bulma's new outfit. Evocative of her Buu arc style but fit for an adventurous setting..... while still respecting the fact that she's in her 40s.

I'm pretty sure she won't be literally participating in the fight as much as I'd love her to pull a Lucy Steel, but seeing that she might be playing ...

Damn, those Trunks and Goku ones look awesome. But for that price I'd get them all to be honest....

1. Original
2. God
3. Galaxy
4. Ja'aku Ryu

The original just wormed its way into my head years ago and hasn't left since. I was surprised how much I like the God theme even from not hearing a proper recording so I hope it can grow on me even more.

Even though the Ja'aku Ryu song is at the bottom ...

He was certainly prolific and his death is being felt by a lot of fans from many fandoms right now - I heard of his death in relation to Kingdom Hearts where he's the voice of the main villain Xehanort. His work as Taopaipai was certainly very distinctive and something I can't imagine the character ...

For all the crap a lot of FUNi's names get, I've never seen the issue where they aren't at least recognizable as to whom they mean, even for subtitle fans - most of them, anyway. Chiaotzu seems pretty easy to figure out is Chaozu. Karin to Karin seems like a pretty easy jump to make. Fr-i-eza to ...

I would kill for a canonical Kuriza appearance but I don't have a lot of hope of it happening. It's pretty clear that he's relegated to gag manga and supplementary games like Heroes by now.

....That said, I would love to be pleasantly surprised.

Cha-La Head-Cha-La. There's no other.

It's just seems to be an agency he's affiliated with, which just shares the name Goku (note it's spelled Go-Coo in English though).

I don't think I ever particularly disliked Satan, but I think by the time Buu rolled around and we saw a side of him distinct from his public persona that I came to seriously love him. It baffles me that there are people out there that still dislike him and think he's a pointless character, he ...

My boyfriend isn't really a fan of the series, but he loves the art - he's a big fan of plenty of anime and manga but thinks Toriyama's art is some of the best in the business. So you're much more likely to catch him checking out the Chogashu than anything else. I've tried to get him into the series ...

Can't read the descriptions very well, but the names are "Baby Kraken" for the jellyfish one and "Giant Jaga Imomushi" (a pun on jagaimo, potato and imomushi, caterpillar).

That really is the best place for a split. Although the "tone shift" toward a darker storytelling begins significantly earlier, at the beginning of the Piccolo Daimao arc, that part of the story still feels very much like a continuation from his previous adventures, and eventually the climax of his ...

That translation is pretty much spot-on - but just clarifying because it's kinda poorly worded, it's talking about technique as in move, specifically Yamcha's Soukidan.
