Re: The end of "Akira Toriyama canon"
Toei put Toriyama in the forefront of every animated project each time being "he is more involved than last time!" Daima I will reckon will be the end of animated modern DB (the website did mention he had works unfinished, if he was working on another animated project I reckon Toei would l...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
The problem is Dragon Ball is finished, Toriyama finished it decades ago. The time placement makes all of modern DB essentiallly just filler. DBS manga is also in a monthly video game magazine, so it's understandable why they aren't taking it seriously. And why OP is getting all the love and attenti...

Re: DBS Anime Future
There are two manga arcs they can adapt and reap the profits in from merchandise (new forms, characters, etc.) Who knows when it'll come back, it will come back They had an entire movie full of things that could have been commercialized last year and barely released any merch last year. In fact 80%...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
I think that Toei won't gain much from a Dragon Ball reboot since they won't be able to sell enough figures and merchandise with the old DB characters. They need new characters and new transformations for that. Lol such a naïve comment. 80% of DBS has been left un merched (half a decade on and we s...

Re: At first I didn't care, but now I really wish for Toei to animate Moro arc...
If it was gonna be animated it would have been now, I have said for the billionth time there is no rush for new animated material and the anime is considered the main product they are not gonna allow the manga to sit there with an entire arc done and then adapt it. They didn't even want Toyo to touc...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Manga sales, compared to the anime
This is so silly. Anime release was ¥10-14k per volume while the manga is only a couple hundred yen... It's literally as apples and oranges as you can get, not to even mention the success of the anime wasn't dependant on anime sales. And then you realize the manga volumes made x7 the revenue (¥1,36...

Re: DB and Nostalgia
I no longer have any nostalgic attachments to DB and as a result my opinions on the franchise have changed drastically for example I absolutely hate the Z anime, I cannot stand the Cell arc in general, I cannot also stand the old dub anymore. I guess realised that I can be critical of the franchise ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
Toei's animation calendar for 2021 got revealed and DB was last in the Nov/Dec slot with ToP stuff which implies we ain't getting anything in 2021 otherwise why would DB be last and be ToP? I get spoilers but if there was a new series why not have DB be the first month with ToP stuff. It also didn't...

Re: Is it fair to say that Dragon Ball is no longer marketed to kids in North America?
Dragon Ball isn't aimed at kids peroid anymore. Hence why Toei don't have to put a show on air to make DB relevant anymore they have established fans that aren't going anywhere. Back in Kai days more or less all the merch was aimed at kids but nowadays it's all aimed at the adult fans, heck the one ...

Re: I really hate Beerus arc
The BoG retelling completely shits on the piece of crap that is the movie version. The main thing is they fixed Beerus, in the movie they constantly just told us he is this super scary god but in the retelling we saw him doing GoD things before he even went to Kaio's planet! That already adds more t...

Re: Shintani's style doesn't do it for me
Yuya Takahashi would be better but Shintani is cool too, even though some characters may look younger than they should be. We need a talented counterpart like that for the writing department. Current Toriyama and Toyotaro aren't good enough. Toriyama's fine his issue is letting Toei and Toyotaro do...

Re: SAY-IN - SPECIAL BEAM CAN-IN - SUN GOKU - DESTRUCTO DISK | Why does Dragon Ball STILL suffer with these shortcomings
The whole deal with Toei mandating that dub terms must be used for subs going forward was just so mind boggling, as it's basically thing the same FUNi did when they first started releasing bilingual DVDs back in 2000. For some reason even though Steve Simmons already had accurate translations done ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
it's 2020 and there is still no Kale merch the woman that most people on here claimed was only made to "sell toys". Because Kale bombed as a character in terms of populairty and likely decided to just fully reboot Broly instead. Err, Broly was in development before the arc started. Anyway...
