Re: When did Piccolo become a “Warrior Type” Namekian
*insert misguided DBZA joke about how are Piccolo and Kami different types if they came from the same Namekian
The Great Elder recognizes the Nameless Namekian as a Dragon type Namekian and by extension we know Kami-sama was one and it’s safe to assume the original Piccolo Daimao was a demonic ...

This is going to sound awkward, but how common is AI in anime industry?
Is AI bot really that common in animation industry?

Re: How Plausible is it That Raditz Knew how to Make an Artificial Moon?
The technique Vegeta used to make the artificial moon in the Saiyan Arc *noticeably* depleted his energy. It could just be that, given the vast gap in strength between Vegeta and the other two that they were just too weak to pull off the move on their own.

Re: How Would You Introduce Someone to Dragon Ball ?
Honestly, assuming a random person with no connection to Dragon Ball at all, I'd just show them Battle of Gods. It's a solid, self-contained film, it's easy to follow, you get a good view of who these characters are, and it's fun. Best of all, it's, what, 90 minutes?

I feel like something that is often left out of discussion based on minor obscure material like this is that, sometimes, people just make mistakes. Not every scrap of text from every bit of promotional material is word of God.

Even if the number was 2, that still wouldn't mean extinction for the humans. That depends on the humans. Unless they have access to some advanced tech, I doubt two males or two females would be able to procreate in the wild.
I can imagine Trunks and Mai would have the highest chance to ...

Re: How you found Dragon Ball, and what you thought it initially was
My first exposure to DB was flipping through channels and hitting the title card of "Goku vs Vegeta: A Saiyan Duel." Back when the Ocean Dub did those, I dunno, "foil" titles.

Doesn't Shin use an untranslated "Daikaioh" to refer to the Grand Kaioshin in the Funi dub? I know they use that in the Buu's Fury GBA game.

Nice. I like his style.
Not sure if you're aware, but he's drawn Goku before, back for the 30th anniversary.

It's the perfect time, fans of Rumiko Takahashi's are eating good with remakes of Urusei Yatsura and Ranma 1/2, so anime remakes are in. And, regrettably, a lot of interest comes of an artist when they have passed. Strike while the iron is hot, when the younguns who only know about Super and ...

Re: What are 10 episodes of Og Dragon Ball that nobody should miss?
The 21st Tenkaichi Budokai arc. The tournament is ten or so episodes, right? Best part of the franchise, sums up everything you need to know about early Dragon Ball, and has, in my opinion, the best fight of the series.
