Re: Is Goku hitting his head a relevant detail for his character anymore?

Nothing really matters. Tell the stories you want to tell, life is too short—and too long—to worry about matching one canon or the next when we can approach a story idea for its own sake and go from there. I've never really cared about the head injury thing because it ultimately doesn't matter. You ...

Re: Furuya Tooru (Yamcha) Admits to Physically Abusing Woman He Had An Affair With

“The moment I stepped into the room, he pushed me onto the bed with a force I hadn’t expected. There was no buildup, no romance. It was so abrupt. As he grew more aroused, he tried to enter me without protection. I pleaded, ‘Wait, please,’ but he brushed it off, saying, ‘It’s okay, it’s okay,'” she...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

Toriyama was so big on trying to make Gokuu feel like 'not a traditional hero' or to highlight the 'poison' of his character, but he doesn't really do that in an interesting and/or entertaining fashion the further along he gets into the series. Grounding elements that make Gokuu be some semblance of...

Re: Furuya Tooru (Yamcha) Admits to Physically Abusing Woman He Had An Affair With

Works of art are an open invitation from an artist to their audience to think about their relationship to the art, and how their life's experiences affect their perception of that art. To say that Furuya's work is this somehow separate thing from him is patently untrue. Furuya's abusive actions do n...

Re: Furuya Tooru (Yamcha) Admits to Physically Abusing Woman He Had An Affair With

To me, Toru Furuya will remain Yamcha, Seiya etc.... i don't see anything that can justify him being recast except if he goes in jail before episodes recordings. His voice and his work have nothing to do with the asshole human being behind it i basically don't agree with everything he could have do...

Re: The Trunks TV Special was released out of order (theory)

Hmm...I'm not sure. I think the special was simply broadcast when it was because it was finished when it was. Being that the specially is basically twice the length of a regular Maeda Minoru-supervised in-house episode, I think the case was simply that the special aired when it did due to the produc...

Re: Did the dub of One Piece Episode 590 ever get released physically?

The issue, I believe, is that Amazon doesn't have Toriko . One Piece 492 and 542 also feature Toriko, but weren't affected. Ditto for the DVDs. Even Crunchyroll's had the first two crossovers, in full with both the Torkio and One Piece sections in their respective series pages, for years. But does ...

Re: Did the dub of One Piece Episode 590 ever get released physically?

I think it got a standalone DVD in Japan I'm not sure that it did. I can't find any mention of it on Avex's One Piece website nor One-Piece.com, even though the previous two Toriko x One Piece specials are listed as having DVD releases within the same time-frame as regular episodes. I think there w...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

Tying the hands of other creators sucks, and I wish that Toriyama had been wise enough to encourage those who worked on adaptions of his ideas to go even further into their ideas, rather than shirking them away.

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

Dragon Ball became way too invested in trying to determine who could defeat someone in a one-on-one battle at full strength. I really wish that stuff outside of the 1984 comic had taken it upon itself to avoid doing that.

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

Your mileage might vary, but I did find myself engaged with the capitalist dystopia planet, the creepy doll planet, the desert episode and the machine empire. Plenty of good character interaction to be found on those. The only one I had real problems with was the Oolong ripoff. From what the traile...

Re: Did Fuji TV air the original Dragon Ball anime completely uncensored?

That is actually a good point that I didn't think about. It reminds me of something we learned about the Ocean dub of Kai from recent Anime Time Machine livestreams, which is that the director Karl Willems had some disagreements with the producers (who in Ocean Studio's case would probably be Diana...

Re: ME TOONS CONFIRMED! (SPEED RACER IN THE LINE UP)

On a closing thought, I think that Dragon Ball is the Disney Adult's anime. It's generic and mainstream enough with a 25+ year fandom in the US alone to build up the mystique of its importance and nostalgia. I'd take it a step further and say Shonen anime in general is the Disney Adult's anime. The...
