Wanted to try the update visual tweaks on PC but see that you have to download the entire 100~ GB package outright and only then chose which one to launch after the fact, and that the "HD edition" has its own save data and doesn't draw from the original edition. At least my download wasn't. The save ...

The goal is ultimately comprehensibility to newcomers, and Dragon Ball is still mostly straightforward in 2025. A core story with three completely parallel sequels, one obviously much more developed than the other two. (The Super concepts referenced in Daima are so scant that I can't really count ...

To the original question, I didn't think of Dragon Ball in that moment either. I had figured Superman being as old a character as he is that angle must have been explored at least a dozen times by now.

I do wonder if the audience is there for a second 2D-plane fighting game so soon, but then three or four of the top five best-selling retail Dragon Ball games to date are from the PS4 era so the potential market size is certainly there. And a future Budokai or other such game would be a 1v1 fighter ...

Is all this supposed bother just about the open Japanese version emphasis? I would hope these folks are on the younger side, then, because we're long past Mike spot-checking a Funimation dub track and asking "What happened to acting?" on the podcast. I could understand, say, being suspicious of any ...

A good and through episode, guys. I appreciate that you could be blunt with the movie out of the spotlight for so long, but kept the movie in its own critical pre-Super context.

With minimum possible melodrama, there is a joke to be made that "The worst wish, the beginning of despair" did indeed ...

I've always wished Dragon Ball had more group fights, so I appreciated seeing that here. Gomah making a ring to avoid damaging the castle only for Vegeta to break one of the curving pillars to his shock, great. Gomah's entire "Huzzah! Wait, no, focus!" bit has been funny throughout, in tandem with ...

On the face of it, I agree. The 23rd Budokai gives us a physically grown Goku entourage that terrifically strong, but still not so much so that they're zooming across the planet in what feels like half an hour or that new enemies can't somehow rise up to challenge them. We're arguably on the edge of ...

Oh this one was fun . And handled with the "proper" attitude, really, accepting that Toriyama is writing a kid's fantasy that would make a lot of shortcuts and contrivances to move the story along while considering what is plausible. JP really getting into it by the end and trying to reverse ...

This dropped the evening before a long drive back from vacay, perfectly timed. I had seen Ajay's most recent posts and became a little confused as well! I was never really bothered by the lack of news, since we already knew Toei would want to avoid a Super launch 2.0 and at the end of the day it is ...

I fully expect the 35mm era movies to get a UHD release at some point, however.

Has Toei done significant back catalog animation releases on 4K disc that might suggest this is a possibility? (I feel like I've asked this before). Do we know if they even did their recent restorations of the 80's/90 ...

Gotta say though, the more I look at this game the uglier it gets, it’s weird it’s like ugly but pretty at the same time. The character models have such an amateur look to them in comparison to FighterZ or even the Naruto Storm games (which I know, like FighterZ is developed by someone else) yet ...

It always came down to product saturation for me. Licensing costs, yes, but Funiroll is presently streaming the DBox masters so that must be something they're willing to eat. Japanese reverse-importing, particularly of nice foreign boxed sets, is always a fear, but that was mostly cut off by ...

Five years? Yes there had to be development restarts somewhere in the process, that it long enough for the decision to move the games purely to the PS Series 5 to be made. Trying to guess the console market so many years in the future, with development times this long, must be a pain. But ...

The specter of cranking out another video out every time Goku gets a concrete new form does hang over this, but their second video was both too soon and too ham-handed, so I can believe they did not want that as the final word in their catalog. I did like the battle a lot this time around. The more ...

I had been curious how Toriyama would go about a villain who woke up one day and realized the Dragon World is a bad joke if you think too hard about it. That was sort of smuggled into Zamasu, his doubts about the conduct of mortals being accelerated into action after meeting Goku and nearly asking ...

This thread inspired me to give Blood Rubies another watch, and I appreciate it a lot more on the second go around. A lot more good jokes and silly still frames than I remembered (poor Bulma's reaction to Roshi's terms for exchanging his Dragon Ball) and a few beautiful quick shots of Shenron. (Well ...

I never caught Grandpa Gohan being the ghost, what a deep cut. :lol: I remember nodding along with the episode by the end but agreed that they had a tiny window to go unusually raunchy they're allowed to take it. I think Dende's acclamation and Vegeta's madness is my favorite part.

Indeed, some Buu ...

Now the Trunks special is one I was looking forward to, both the original release and the commentary. As much as I appreciate it for being a sincere drama, with very few Toriyama idiosyncrasies clawing at it, just to see such story officially exist, I confess I have not watched it much. I remember ...

Taking Cure Dragon at his request and leaving quality out of it for argument's sake, what has always churned my noggin is how often DBZ's novelty is mentioned by those former US kids (of which I was one). Novel as compared to the episodic sitcoms and toothless episodic action cartoons DBZ would have ...
