Re: Dragon Ball Genkida Matsuri 2026 on january 25th will have Dragon Ball announcements

You know, I should just be happy with the fact we're getting Moro too, but did we REALLY need Super Kai when the original shows are currently rotting away in Toei's storage facilities and the best available version is STILL a DVD from 2004?

Re: Dragon Ball Genkida Matsuri 2026 on january 25th will have Dragon Ball announcements


I'm impressed nothing about whatever the big announcement is has been leaked, but it leaves me wondering if it's something so underwhelming that you'd get more clicks from throwing out vague hints instead of revealing what it is.


Underwhelming is exactly the word I would use to describe any ...

Re: Daima Soundtrack + Other Digital Releases



I wondered why it took them so long


It's a standard waiting period for most full anime soundtrack material (especially as the series hasn't even ended yet), but I suppose there's some that have come out earlier in a show's run.
Then again there's been more than one irregular aspect of the ...

It's possible that they never made a full-length version.


They actually did. The full version of Jaka☆Jaan was released two days ago.

Re: Dragon Ball Daima Dub Releases Thread

It's very odd that it's taken them this long to get the dub up and running, usually CR simuldubs are a couple weeks at most. I haven't SEEN anyone mention that the show will air on Toonami so that's probably not the reason. January 10 would put us at roughly the end of cour 1 so there's a non-zero ...

Re: Will the Funimation DB VAs be recast for the miniaturized characters in Daima?

OK, I figured that Laura Bailey was out since I think she's too expensive now and she just got recast in Tales of Graces f, but I wasn't expecting for ALL the kid voice actors to get replaced. We just had Justin Briner in Kakarot as kid Vegeta too, I wonder what the logic was here.

Re: Dragon Ball Daima: Episode 1 - Official Discussion Thread

Thank you, production, so much for clearly establishing a timeline for when this takes place. Trunks is 9 now? The Dragon Balls are inactive? It's much more clear cut than early Super's "I guess it takes place around Battle of Gods? Maybe? So all those Buu saga related plot threads took multiple ...

Re: Why hasn't classic series (original, Z, and GT) is not available on Blu-ray in Japan?

It really feels like Toei is happy letting whoever licenses their stuff do the remaster, it's just that sometimes you get a company like Discotek that tries to care a little and sometimes you get a Funimation that really doesn't seem to. Then you also have the Sailor Moon 2014 debacle but that was ...

Re: If Funimation/Crunchyroll gives up on the Dragon Ball license, which company should have it?

It'll never happen, but at least Discotek would try and give it a halfway decent remaster like they did with Digimon. At worst, they'd do an SDBD, probably DBox, which is still much better than what we've gotten thus far. Sadly, I don't trust Viz since they seem to be moving away from DVDs and, with ...

Here's the thing: The announcement calls this adaptation "fresh but familiar" from the anime adaptation. Ideally Netflix is doing this because a bunch of people are now interested in the anime thanks to the live-action show. If the barrier of entry for newbies is the length of the anime and the ...

I still feel like the show is going to be set before Battle of Gods. After all, why isn't Beerus and Whis not with the others? They love eatting food with Bluma and the others?


Seems to be leaning that way, yes.

Well, if the old DB Magic rumors are still true, this won't be much more than 13 episodes so it'll probably be the focus of the whole show.

Why d'you assume that any arc containing Black Freeza would end in this death?
Super so far has shown exactly the opposite idea for this character.

He will probably live on as long as he is profitable.

Re: Dragon Ball 2024 40th Anniversary Predictions

You know what, screw it, let's go big and wild. Find a way to solve all of the issues and make Dragon Ball Quest happen. Just straight up make a Dragon Quest game but with actual DB characters instead of Toriyama recycling character designs for similar characters.
