This, and we already have an existing template for that to boot.

Just make it like the Doctor Slump episode- An unapologetically zany love letter.

To add- In a series that was explicitly conceptualized to feel East Asian in presentation (to contrast Doctor Slump's more Western presentation).

It's not that I'm opposed to new DB content, I like BoG (movie version) and Super Hero. While I do enjoy both of these as well for the most part and think they're the only revival material strong enough to justify the revival's existence at all, my core position has always been "We never neede...

It should be noted that the score you mentioned was entirely arranged by Katsunori Ishida, where Kikuchi was in charge of the composition. Ah, good to know. Kikuchi himself may not be the reason that score contains stuff that's typically not in his scores, but I think it shows that his style can be...

Yeah, there's plenty of variety with Kikuchi, original Dragon Ball has a lot more adventurous music and Z has more battle-focused pieces. This. Kikuchi's critics tend to overlook that his Pre-Z and Z era work is very different tonally. The man understood that things changed with Z and changed accor...

Goten and Trunks did seem to have more of a fighting spirirt than Oob at a similar age imo, I'm not sure why they stopped caring given how much they loved thrill seeking in the buu saga but I guess EOZ decided they dont have the thirst. I think it's that they're simply more like average everyday pe...

Besides, one could argue that it was ultimately Oob who represented the next generation of fighters since Gohan, Goten, and Trunks all proved they didn't have the heart for it. This. Toriyama even stated that he updated the Kanzenban ending with Goku giving Kintoun to Uub to make it clear that the ...

The whole thing about staying dead to begin with had nothing to do with whether or not he could feasibly come back to life and more about how he feels the earth is better off if he wasn’t around to attract bad guys. Goku was choosing to remain dead and stay out of earthly affairs, it wasn’t a restr...

Which I can believe, but I'm just saying that narratively its contradictory. I disagree and think it's an overstatement to claim that he's undercutting what he said about trusting the kids by coming back to life. He did trust the kids to beat Buu, they just failed. He did trust Gohan to beat Buu, h...

Yeah, how Toriyama chooses to draw characters or locations is more of a logistical and economical choice than a political one, he said something similar about Cell but that was more of a retrospective realization the finished design he wasn't satisfied with was too time consuming to draw because of...

Yeah a lot of people seem to think Toriyama was either setting up Gohan to be the new lead from the moment he was introduced (and I think Toei is to blame for a lot of that) Indeed. Makes me wonder if the "Gohan should have become the main character" sentiment would be as strong as it is ...

Ultimately, I feel that reinstating the status quo basically destroyed years of ground work that Toriyama laid out from Saiyan arc all the way to Cell. You can argue that bringing Goku back to life as earths protector in the Buu saga contradicts the ending of the cell arc, and it completely undercu...

Yeah this is just moving goalposts. You said "Goku Black kept impaling people with not a drop of blood in sight". That is what you said. You are wrong. There are already enough problems to criticize about Super (as with any series, by the way, not just Super) without inventing non-existen...

This is wrong. We do have drops of blood being shown when Black impales Vegeta and Trunks individually: Only one of those four images has any blood you don't have to squint to see, and the blood in the Trunks picture is so faint that it barely even looks like blood (it looks more like he's coughing...

No, it did not. I get what you mean- that isn't what you were saying (to be charitable). The way this is worded though comes across like you're outright denying that your words made me feel a certain way: Me: "Your post came off a certain way to me" You: "No, it did not" When yo...

TBF: I think the censoring robs some of the fights of their intensity. Agreed. I honestly found it a bit distracting that Goku Black kept impaling people with not a drop of blood in sight. It makes the fighting feel too...sanitized. Too clean. It also just looks weird. Like, when people get stabbed...

This is just speculation, but in light of recent events, I wonder if Daima is the way it is because Toriyama went into it knowing it would likely be the final Dragon Ball thing he worked on. Daima heavily drawing from the Buu arc, the final arc of the manga, based on what we've seen thus far would m...

Toriyama's (likely) final published words from December 2023, translated by Herms. Warning: the final paragraph where he acknowledges his failing health is... well, a tearjerker, to put it lightly. The bright side is that he worked on the entire story for Daima, so that's a swan song I'll be sure t...

And you answered it with a very solid, justifiable, understandable and sensible reason to not go out seeking every Star Wars material. I think I made pretty clear that my only problem is with those that don't even try to go outside of the source material and (or still go but) judge everything other...

I'm kind of repeating myself here, but I really don't see the point in placing some kind of 'canon' on a pedastool, when it completely ignores whether a work of art is good . I think it's important that we keep that in mind, because it isn't some nebulous idea of 'canon' that is the connective tiss...
