I'm shock that no one mention the South Park movie yet when Cartman battles against Saddam Hussein.

Re: Dragonball Evolution 15th Anniversary

I don't think it's the worst movie ever, but I don't consider it to be good. At least it never damaged the DB brand name like other bad movies did to their IP.

Re: Dragonball Evolution 15th Anniversary

Dragon Ball Evolution came and went. I feel like the only people who talk about it are anime fans when live action adaptions are brought up. The movie had no chance on doing well seeing that everyone on the Internet was hating on the film before it came out. Bad word of mouth is why the movie didn't...

Re: Justin Chatwin apologizes for Dragonball Evolution

Dragon Ball Evolution is only talked about with anime fans or bad movie buffs. The movie flopped on its original release and was quickly forgotten by most movie goers. Even the 2010 Last Airbender movie is remember more from the casual audience than DBE.

Re: The Original Movie 14.

I still felt like we doge a bullet with the original script. I think Toriyama stop it from being a total train wreck given how Toei's DB stuff without him always been very hit or miss (mostly miss).

Vegeta was working for Freeza in Neko Majin. I don't know why would EOZ Vegeta would want to work for Freeza?

Re: Dragon Ball influences in Western products

The Simpsons have reference anime before with a couch gag with Lisa as Sailor Moon, Bart as Astro Boy, and Marge as one of the Gatchaman members. There was even a Pokemon reference in Season 10. So the animation crew throwing in a DBZ easter egg doesn't feel that far off.

Re: "Dragon Ball XENOVERSE 2" Official Discussion Thread

I feel like Xenoverse 2 never goes crazy with their alternate timeline stuff. You do get some creative moments like Baby Vegeta teaming up with Dabra, Broli fighting Jiren, Tullece & Slug during the Namek saga, etc. I wish they can do more with it.

Re: "Dragon Ball XENOVERSE 2" Official Discussion Thread

They should have give us some new characters than just pre-existing ones with some differences. We are still missing Garlic Jr, Cyborg Freeza, King Cold, #19, Dr. Gero, Hatchiyack, Grey Buu, Baby (non Vegeta), Two Star Shadow Dragon, Six Star Shadow Dragon, etc

Re: "Sparking! ZERO" Official Announcement & Pre-Release Discussion Thread

I was under the impression that the game wasn't releasing until 2025 at the earliest, Does the age rating really point to this not being the case? Namco Bandai does release a new mainline game every two years since 2016. 2024 makes sense given it fits the timeline of new releases. Also, 2024 is the...

The game has a rating updated from ESRB with a T rating. I guess the game is closer to release soon.

They probably had the rights to this before Toriyama died. Things like this was in the works for a while.

Re: The All-Purpose "What-If " Thread

If the were no Android arc nor Goku having a Heart Virus disease after the death of Mecha Freeza and Cold, how things would unfold? Would Vegeta even defeat Goku and destroy the Earth? Would Piccolo still try to rule the world? Vegeta would fight Goku and still lose. I feel like Piccolo move on at ...

I always wish Trunks was in DBZ Movie 6. I would love to see Coola’s reaction when Trunks tells him that he’s the one that killed his brother and dad.

They probably had the theme park plan long before Toriyama died. I doubt they just came up with the idea on the last minute.

Yeah, but it's not very safe for people who are LGBTQ+, women, and other religions as SA can hostile towards them.

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.

Dragon Ball, Pokemon (despite being more of a gaming series), Studio Ghibli movies, Ghost in the Shell, Sailor Moon, Akira, Speed Racer, etc are probably the most well known and mainstream anime titles in NA. I feel like Dragon Ball is more popular than it was during its dead years in the states (20...

Re: Why did we never got a Dragon box reprint?

They were design to be a limited edition thing. Once they are gone, they are gone! The more "hardcore" side of the fandom is view more of a niche thing in Funimation's eyes. The people who got the brick sets won't care to buy the Dragon Boxes because they own the series to watch.

I won't mind seeing a retelling of the 28th Tenkachi Budokai as a way to end the series.
