Re: Dragon Ball Super Gets Cancelled Overseas Over Sexual Harassment Claims

You know what's diametrically opposed to helpful? Posting on a forum about a little kids' cartoon rather than directly participating in the political accountability and activism you seem to be a proponent of. Pontificating on a website about Dragon Ball isn't contributing toward making the changes ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Gets Cancelled Overseas Over Sexual Harassment Claims

Ok, all the politics/economics/society/whatever made my head spin. I mean i get that discussions in threads go off topic to other discussions sometimes but seriously what does any of what was posted on the last few pages have anything to do with this topic specifically?

Re: At its core, why is Dragon Ball so loved?

The original run of Dragonball/DBZ is probably the pinnacle of anime storytelling. It's the "Citizen Kane" of anime. Note: While I'm quoting precita, this goes out to the whole Kanz community/readership as a broader whole, and is not targeting any one user in particular. Its been my overw...

Re: "Live Action Dragon Ball Z Movie"

Dozens of live action adaptions of manga and anime have been made in Japan in the last ten years. Hollywood is not the end-all-be-all, y'all! And if you go back further than just the last ten years, you'll find plenty of live action anime and manga adaptations (both from Japan and even a few here o...

Documented credit for Faulconer Productions tracks?

Is there any place where I can find an index of tracks with the correct contributing artists listed? I would like to tag my digital albums properly, and while I have a vague idea of who contributed what, it would be nice to have a reference.

Re: No, Zamasu was never good.

But he was good. Gowasu literally says he had purity of heart. Also if he was never good then he wouldn't have been a Kai in the first place (and not just that, but a North Kai, which is a high-ranking title), he would've been a Makaioshin exiled to the Demon Realm at birth. In the anime, Zamasu at...

Re: No, Zamasu was never good.

The moment we are introduced to Zamasu isn't the moment he was born, though. The fact that he was a Kaio proves he was good at some point/in the beginning of his life. Otherwise he would be sent straight to the Demon Realm to be a Makaio. It seems Zamasu somehow slipped through their fingers then, ...

No, Zamasu was never good.

There seems to be this odd perception that Zamasu was at one point a noble character, and consequently, a corrupted or tragic villain. However, neither the anime nor the manga support this interpretation; the moment we're introduced to Zamasu, he's already censuring mortals and promoting genocide. I...

Re: Linda Young and Chris Ayres (Ep 94/95)

I don't know, Linda's Frieza was fairly polite with his clearly affected usage of the phrase "my good man" when addressing Namekians. "I can't hear you, perhaps if I let go." "Those rude little ruffians, that's no way for guests on my ship to behave!"(Other instances of...

Re: Linda Young and Chris Ayres (Ep 94/95)

I hate to break it to you, but there isn't much nuance to Frieza in general. He's a faux affable evil psychopath, and that's evident with both performances--he's evil, that's it. The scripts for Frieza in both Kai and Super are absurdly overwritten to the point of, again, coming across as a caricatu...

Alright, but no one is saying Linda has to be given the sarcastic one-liners, I'm only talking about the voice itself. Linda liked those lines (her favorite one, if I recall, is calling Nail's severed arm a backscratcher), but she doesn't write them. And I can't agree over Frieza sounding more intel...

Re: Linda Young and Chris Ayres (Ep 94/95)

Are you talking about the writing, or the voice itself? I disagree on both counts, or at least as far as the writing is concerned, the Chris Ayres version is more of what I'd say a caricature of Frieza would be like. I don't see how Linda's voice for Frieza in itself doesn't capture the character, i...

Re: Linda Young and Chris Ayres (Ep 94/95)

The Chris Ayres interpretation of Frieza--or at least, how Funimation is writing him--isn't entirely accurate either. Frieza isn't a blabbermouth faux British John Moschitta Jr. impersonator, in much the same way you believe Frieza isn't a tranny space lizard; that faster-paced dialogue sounds awful...
