Toriyama getting wacky is my kind of bullshit, so I'm ready for this ride. Hope they keep the trend with Super Hero on exploring some characters from a new angle, which the de-aging should make easier.

It'll be interesting to see who ends up in the spotlight, maybe if we're lucky there will be ...

My relatively safe prediction: the Goku balloon will be back in the Macy's Thanksgiving parade.

My less safe twist: it'll be a new/modified design that ditches the Super Saiyan Blue look.

That being said, I've seen the "elitist" complaint thrown around for something as innocuous as simply acknowledging that the two versions are pretty different. That's where my statement was coming from.


There's acknowledging that we're dealing with two different beasts and that they should each ...

Beyond its quality, I think a lot of Dragon Ball's success (specifically in North America) was a result of good timing. There was an anime subculture already in place and growing in presence and the prior mainstream success of Power Rangers showing the viability of importing Japanese kids ...

I'll say what I said in the Patreon Discord, which is if you were like me back in 2019 and the 4:3 + Faulconer + all 291 in one purchase makes sense to you, I'd say go for it. The remaster job is pretty absymal, but I've found it's not a deal breaker for me. I was fine paying $350 for it, so $270 ...

Ah, Brice Armstrong. If I had too much money and he was still with us, I would be tempted to hire him to narrate my own life.

I was your bog-standard Toonami kid starting with Funi DBZ from '98, with the added twist that I was a literal toddler and was really watching with my parents. My dad was what you could call an earlier American anime fan, with him really latching onto Star Blazers and Robotech back in the 70's and ...

If I've got this right, this was all to...promote a livestream tied to the home release of Super Hero.
Sounds fun, but nothing too groundbreaking here.

I've said it before on here, and I'll say it again: Dragon Ball is entertainment, and thus it should be a good time. If you're not having a good time, you absolutely should invest your time and energy elsewhere.

Life's too short and there's too many cool things out there for any of us to be ...

This thread got me thinking: what if Pearl Jam existed in the Dragon Ball universe?
What Italian food would the characters be served, and what ailments of theirs would be cured?

Funimation are well known in several English speaking countries though, not just the US. Canada, Australia, the UK and Ireland, the Netherlands, South East Asia, and South Africa have all had Funimation's dubs to some extent.


I don't think "If you live in one of these five countries you ...

And the Funimation brand has been around considerably longer than ...

It's a fair point to say that... well, the entity "Dragon Ball Super" isn't an exclusive Toriyama work. Some of it starts with him, some of it doesn't, and none of it ends with him.

If you want to talk about Toriyama's "touch" and if he still has it, then you really have to start and end with ...

Sure, make the distinction. There's some truth to it, but it's not altogether true.


Then why rag on dva_raza so much for it? Once again , where are they making the argument about "fundamental" differences?


After reading the debate, the excuse "time is valuable" is out of any meaning. Some ...

But to claim DB and DBZ are two fundamentally different shows which is exactly what was being claimed is erroneous.


Again, was it? Where exactly is dva_rasa making this claim? I'm seeing that they're making a distinction between DB and Z, but not that they're fundamentally different. If they ...

Your point was they were fundamentally different.


Was it? I'll I'm seeing from dva_rasa is that they see OG DB as being different enough from Z for them to not be interested.

And then you're surprised and confused that they're pissed off at you for exaggerating their position, and I really ...

Total shot in the dark but you wouldn't happen to be in New York City would you?

Then again if this were the place I'm thinking of you'd be far more likely to comment on the giant Goku model in the storefront lmao.


Nope, I'm clear off in the other side of the country, near Portland. I'm ...

I've got too many other stories to share to let this thread simply fade away, so how about my most recent ones:

Throughout my entire life, I think there's been scant few times where I didn't have a DB t-shirt somewhere in my wardrobe. The most recent lapse in me having a DB shirt available ended ...

Sure, but in that case it's not about the episode count. Those are the episodes that are closest to the look and feel they are used to.

While the episode count no doubt makes it seem daunting, it's the worry that the payoff isn't worth the investment in One Piece that keeps me from watching it ...
