Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

That will just be Search for the Black Star DBs part two and that arc was awful, among many reasons, because it lacked tension. Like so much of GT- It was a good idea they executed badly. For me, the problem with that part of GT is that nothing interesting or amusing is happening in it. Having vari...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

At this stage in the game I doubt they can nerf the characters enough to make it be as much of an adventure even with the deaging. At minimum, all they need to do to make it feel like an adventure is to make sure the action isn't taking place in just one location or just one type of location. IE- D...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

To build off the Red Ribbon Army arc conversation, I think what made that arc so fantastic to me is that it was just an excellent story for Goku where he makes peace with his grandpa’s death. You can certainly criticize it in a number of different ways but the fact that it was a legit character dri...

Re: The reason Goku stayed dead that no one talks about

Goku going to the 25th Martial Art Tournament wasn't what caused the trouble, since the enemies wasn't targeting Goku at all. Their target was actually Gohan. Gohan was going to go to the tournament, regardless if Goku went to earth or not. You're implying that they were specifically looking for Go...

Re: Did Fuji TV air the original Dragon Ball anime completely uncensored?

Just to put it out there- The Dragon Ball anime itself toned down some of the more graphic violence from the manga so it was censored to a degree.

But yeah, everything they did put in it was aired uncensored.

Re: SS3 Vegeta

I wouldn't be against it, but I like that it remains unique to Goku and Gotenks. No because it wouldn't be all that in character for him. SSJ3 is designed to be a flawed form that was only possible via a more durable dead body or a fused character. It's meant to be so over the top in terms of energy...

Re: MistareFusion's Dragon Ball Dissection! (Updated 4/1/24!)

The Super 17 arc has always been GT's low point for me as well. It is a mess, and I love that Gaffer cut to the chase on that right from the start.

It's funny that the pre-Baby episodes have (had?) the reputation of being so bad that Funimation had to skip them in comparison to this.

Re: Would a complete DBZ English redub be necessary?

If a redub were necessary every time someone complained about dubbing errors, I think every show would have countless dubs. It's just ridiculous; a redub is only necessary if the first one is lost, damaged, or heavily censored. Dubbing again something already uncut would just be a waste of money. B...

Re: The end of "Akira Toriyama canon"

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...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions

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...

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 ...
