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 Ball...

Re: How can we get to see Pan and Bra grow up without aging the cast too much?

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 scars have been the most interesting thing about Yamcha since the late 80s.

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 about h...

Well, there you go. I knew they'd done the latter half of the series, but wasn't sure about the first half. Cool.

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.

Re: Akira Toriyama getting cancelled (not really: contextless, disingenuous social media videos)

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. Is this really a point you think that you need to make? Is this really the case you want to take pro bono like this? Everything that comes out of my mouth has a point, ...

Re: Should Funimation have kept Dameon Clark as Gohan?

I used to enjoy Dameon Clarke's Future Gohan quite a bit, particularly as his slight Canadian accent would remind me of Peter Kelamis at times. But putting that personal bias aside, while he felt like a serviceable voice for the more grizzled and authoritative Future Gohan, he would have been sorel...

Re: Vegeta spents most of the time being a douchebag in the orginal manga,does a 180 and never suffers for his crimes

Sure during the Cell Games he doesn't do anything to repent, but let's review the Boo saga real quick. Vegeta fully admits and accepts that he's going to Hell for selling his soul, and his family, and the world's safety just for one more fight with Goku on even footing. Then he gets his cheeks clap...

Re: How can Vegeta's fans.....

At this point, I don't think there's anything they will effectively do. But Mr. Popo's time in the spotlight has passed, he has already been written out of the series in essence. Intentional or not, framing this as "cancelled" is needlessly dog-whistling for a certain demographic. As a ge...
