Re: "Sparking! ZERO" Official Announcement & Pre-Release Discussion Thread

Those on this website need to step outside the dragonball old geezer echo chamber & actualy see whats being said anime fans in general are tired of kusoge party game arena fighters & want more balanced competitive games. I'm... not sure you're actually paying attention to who's saying what....

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.

Fuck... when I thought that the horrid last year is over, we deal with some family and life issues and experienced loss ourselves this week on top of that and I went back to rewatching/finishing the show recently, to get into comfort and nostalgia... Akira Toriyama was a huge influence, role model a...

Re: "Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot" Official Discussion Thread

Outside of missing bonus post content with Uub, it was OK. The ending played pretty much as in the anime, which is a pitty, as it is the most stripped down version of it. After few DLCs, I must agree that the RPG content has no real payoff and it’s not very well ballanced eg. Why should I max Goku’s...

Re: "Sparking! ZERO" Official Announcement & Pre-Release Discussion Thread

I have no expectations anymore. I just hope that the game will be solid from start unlike XV2 and fun and that if more DLCS will come, they will blend in naturally, unlike XV2 again and Kakarot being upgraded outside of the main content. From what I saw, the game is not on par with FighterZ visually...

Re: "Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot" Official Discussion Thread

I guess this is it! The last DLC for Kakarot. I must give some kudos to Bandai, to survive through covid times to this day and serving us fresh content still. Now there is Sparking! Zero looming on the horizon. Cool! Can't wait to download and play this DLC, as EOZ was always my favorite part, with ...

Re: "Dragon Ball XENOVERSE 2" Official Discussion Thread

I was checking after not having played the game since the last DLC, if there is something new and to my surprise, nothing. I believe they will focus on the brand new Sparking! from now on, with Kakarot getting it's last DLC and XV2 is probably done? Thank god :) It was fun while it lasted and IMHO t...

Re: The History of Dragon Ball in Every Country

Looking through Czech and Slovak sections - did DB actually got popular among the kids there in the early 2000s? Sure, Polish is similar but it's still not the same language + not everyone had satellite/cable access to RTL7 so curious if it actually got a lot of viewiership among schoolkids back in...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

For starters, the show in trailer looks beautiful. This is interesting news. So we've got something for the anniversary and it's nothing anyone probably expected. No Moro, No Granolah, no Super... I wonder if this is a self-compased anniversary special limited series and wonder how many episodes are...

Re: Another live action thread (yes, I know)

I have finally watched One Piece, 5 episodes so far. I don't know how much the current Hollywood fatigue plays in and lot of the criticisms I had on Ahsoka after episode 8 aired (With all the great vision, better Stagecraft and respect to source magterial, the writing and strategy behind the scenes ...

Re: "Dragon Ball XENOVERSE 2" Official Discussion Thread

Besides some cosmetic changes like clothes, wigs, maybe some new PQs, that are pretty much just team battles with some voiceovers, I really wonder what they can add, as they pretty much filled all mising gaps with the limitations they have (Android 13 but not Super 13, or Broly just being his buffed...

Re: Another live action thread (yes, I know)

Absurdly enough, the Korean and Chinese adaptations worked for me more in all the cheesiness and low quality VFX than DBE in it's slightest. I think what works well with One Piece is the respect to source material both by content and visually and staying away from the stupid reasons for bastardizati...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

There's more drama in the industry than in any of the Netflix's reality shows. Star Wars also went through some development hell starting with Rise Of Skywalker and stream of poorly produced and made shows. Getting even a glimpse of something like this hapenning with Dragon Ball as well is surprisin...

Re: New Sand Land project announced

I am excited about reading that there are some extras to the original manga story :)
Without spoilers, is that something substantial, really extra or just expanding the content of the original?
If anybody knows.

I was browsing twitter and I found this (posted by Arecreeps) https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F4Bzaqxb0AAGZZ6?format=jpg It basically says that BT4 was trademarked in 2021. They usually release their db games a year after trademarking them, yeah? What do you guys think went down with BT4? Now that I th...

Re: Is original Dragon Ball really that unpopular?

Like where? In the US? In other places like in Europe and Japan, it IS extremely popular. I'm sure Americans do like the original series, but not as much as Z, because it's more adventure than action. It's moreso the failed Harmony Gold run and the intentional or otherwise sabotage of the BLT dub h...

Re: Do you like Super?

I have actually missed the tournaments from OG Dragon Ball in Z (I don't like Cell Games and tournament in Buu arc was fun plot twist), hence I don't have any problem with tournaments in Super. My only complaint would be, that while the TOP was at least interesting and there was inclusion of many ch...

Geekdom is to Dragon Ball like Mike Zeroh is to Star Wars. Clickbaits and over 10 minutes of brain farts. Seriously, the only source that I follow for some time is DBSHype on Twitter.

We didn't get anything for Gamescon. If they're already at the point where the game is being dubbed then they must be close to finishing it, right?
