Re: Do you think the anime should adopt 3D animation?
3D anime is absolute and total garbage. It is such a disappointment to see Super Hero and Sand Land taking the 3D route. One of the major appeals of anime is it's beautiful animation, and now 3D is going to westernize and ruin it. DOWN with 3D. 2D FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

Re: Why Do People Think Goku Wins All the Time?
In all MAJOR series fights, his records are as follows. Note, while Goku does lose to these foes consistently, he usually comes back stronger at a later time and date to get the W. Goku vs Pilaf Gang-W Goku vs Boss Rabbit-W Goku vs Red Ribbon Army-W Goku vs Piccolo Daimao-W Goku vs Piccolo Jr.-W Gok...

Will there ever be an official Dragon Ball GT Soundtrack Release?
One of the greatest things about the Dragon Ball Franchise is how we have been graced with some incredible music, some of the best in all of anime if I do say so myself. However, we are missing an essential piece of the puzzle. Why is the Akihito Tokunaga soundtrack for GT still unreleased to this d...

Re: Could there be an inner struggle happening within Toei and/or the Dragon Ball department?
It truly is sickening what is going on. I know there are a ton of fans here that are happy with a manga release, and the occasional movie and video game. But let's face the facts, the anime is what propelled this franchise to its lasting success. I am in no way trying to take away from the importanc...

Re: New Sand Land project announced
I'm guessing we're free to discuss it here considering its proximity to Dragon Ball? It's by Bandai Namco so it's presumably a video game? YouTube teaser . There are a couple of things to consider here. For one, I wonder if this will be the much rumored web anime project that has supposedly in deve...

Re: Toei is about to make an official announcement regarding Dragon Ball
I was about to make a thread on this myself. This has to be the official announcement we have all been waiting for, there is no reason to tease us this hard for a Blu ray or 4K which they already announced or some video game DLC, Plus the fact that they did this from the Dragon Ball Super Official 2...

Re: Crunchyroll re-releasing Dragon Ball GT on DVD in February 2023
There are a couple oddities with this. The packaging says 16:9 but surely this is the same 4:3 master as the green bricks. Also. It is exciting that they seem to be including the original Dragon Ball GT logo on front of this box set instead of the Americanized logo. In the green bricks, even though ...

Did Dragon Ball Super set the fanbase on a path of no return? We are feeling the content starvation.
There was a since of finality about the end of Dragon Ball GT where the fans were accepting of the fact that the series was over with. Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I can’t even remotely remember anything from the end of GT to all the way to Battle of Gods hearing about how their could be a ne...

Re: What chance would Dragon Ball 86 have it was remade today?
I would love to see a new adaptation of the Dragon Ball manga from start to finish. It would be a great gateway for new audiences to see the original story again. That being said, please DO NOT censor the manga's original humor or violence. To each their own, however, I am very surprised that so man...

Re: Dragon Ball Z Subtitled in Japanese Uploaded to Crunchyroll and VRV
First of all, I do not understand the argument that I see from many people that Dragon Ball was intended to be seen on a 1980s tv, or that it was a cheaply made cartoon or some other excuse like that. Classic films from the 1920s-2000s were technically never made with the intention to be shown on a ...

Re: Rurouni Kenshin case - Would you stop supporting DB?
I think that in most cases, it is easy to separate the art from the artist, but not in all cases. This one is especially egregious. However, all of Hollywood still cheers on Roman Palanski and praises his films even though what he did was extremely wrong, hardcore and illegal. When I watched his fil...

Re: Favorite and least favorite recast (Japanese version)
I agree that the recasts have not been for the better. As for a full recast, let's not throw the baby out with the bath water. Why not? The general consensus is that the returning actors were mostly phoning it in and while most of them were still quite good I think a brand new cast would have broug...

Re: Favorite and least favorite recast (Japanese version)
Naoki Tatsuta replacing Jōji Yanami as the narrator and Kaio has been the hardest pill for me to swallow. Honestly, I do think that Naoki Tatsuta was not the man for the job. He gives 0 hype and 0 excitement. Yanami always had a certain way about him, even if his delivery wasn't always the most exci...

Re: Where to watch Dragon Ball Z?
I have watched Dragon Ball subbed, and now after doing some research on Dbz, I discovered that the 16:9 version is not recommended. So, does anyone know where one can legally stream Dbz in 4:3 and where it is available in 16:9? Is only the 16:9 version available in HD? And if yes, then does it matt...

Re: Fan group scanning/remastering of multi-generational film prints previously owned by FUNimation
This is truly stunning, and I hope it opens the eyes of the official license holders. The fact that Dragon Ball can be pulled out of a dumpster and look better than anything that Toei or Funimation ever put out should be eye opening to them. But that probably won't happen. I am still one of the few ...
