Re: Anyone think Dragon Ball should incorporate grappling into their fight choreography?

Why does Dragon Balls fight choreography need to represent any kind of modern "trends"? It's never has before. It's fights have always been about kinetic speed and dynamic movement, even without the beam spam. Not only would it be uneccesary, there'd be that certain Dragon Ball spark missing from ...

Re: How Good were the old Ocean Cast?

The Saban dub is the Ocean dub is the (original) Funimation dub. They're all the same product, just referred to in different ways to keep it more clear with what's happened over the years with the dub.

Re: Would you like all of Dragon Ball to appear on Netflix (U.S.)?

I could not care less about having it on US Netflix (not sure why you'd even specify that rather than Netflix in general). Even if it were available internationally it wouldn't change much because I already have so many ways to watch it and I'm not sure how much of a boon it'd be in terms of new ...

Re: Dragon Ball Without Its Creator

Sadly, I know that for the foreseeable future I'm going to see a bunch of articles about how anime only exists in the US because of DBZ on Toonami and that any attempt at correcting that is going to be met with insults and aggression.

On a less cynical note, I'm very curious to see where Dragon ...

I know I know he designed her there but please stop playing dumb and fooling around like this.


What do you mean by "playing dumb and fooling around"? You don't get to see Pan and Bra grown up without aging the rest of the cast, because Toriyama didn't intend for it. The closest you get is the ...

Re: Super Hero is proof it's time for a live-action DB movie franchise




Okay, so the responses here seem pretty mixed, so I guess I'll just give my closing thoughts on this topic (unless of course, the conversation keeps going). It seems like the people who are holding this franchise back the most are the fans (in my opinion). I mean, look at Geekdom101's video ...

Re: Will VIZ ever do a uncensored/re translated version of the Dragon Ball Manga?

Doubt it. Dragon Ball seems to the most disrespected property out there for how popular it is (probably why). Luckily, the Viz manga, while not perfect, is a large step up from the Funi dubs and is quite good besides some quirks.

I don't believe even Japan has the entire 42 volumes worth in colour.

I'm sure Toriyama ain't too proud of the self-depreciate jokes he made in the past, but he doesn't have to apologize for anything.
