Re: "Sparking! ZERO" Official Announcement & Pre-Release Discussion Thread

The actual continuity (and best content, meaning the original main story and Super ) must be given priority and the weirdness that is the rest can wait for extra development, weeks, months and years after the initial release. This is the single most depressing and malignant sentence I've read on th...

Re: "Sparking! ZERO" Official Announcement & Pre-Release Discussion Thread

I shall actually die and rot away into the wind if there aren't cute Caulifal x Kale dialogue scenes. They're the best duo and fusion duo in the franchise, and if there isn't copious amounts of hand-holding I'm going to use my time machine to turn back time and alter history irrevocably. Also, pleas...

Re: How Eguchi Hisashi's Manga About a Trans Girl Nearly Ended "Dr. Slump" Early

It's kinda crazy to learn that Hibari-kun was so popular, considering I never heard about it until a few years ago when trans YouTubers started promoting it. Most of the anime that seemed to get brought over outside Japan back then was either toyetic and easy to market and sell to children or hyper...

It's kinda crazy to learn that Hibari-kun was so popular, considering I never heard about it until a few years ago when trans YouTubers started promoting it.

Re: How Eguchi Hisashi's Manga About a Trans Girl Nearly Ended "Dr. Slump" Early

While there is some... very out-dated elements to Stop!! Hibari-kun! I am fascinated by the notion that not only did the massively successful Dr. Slump nearly fall to a comic about a cute trans girl wrapping everyone about her finger, but that if it hadn't ended serialization so soon we might have ...

Re: How Eguchi Hisashi's Manga About a Trans Girl Nearly Ended "Dr. Slump" Early

Yeah, I'm curious what the exact mood was behind the scenes. Like, surely the animated adaption—which began only fourteen months after the comic did—was helping pull in a lot more money, so I'm surprised that there was already a financial hiccup of sorts. Or was it less financial, and more the weird...

How Eguchi Hisashi's Manga About a Trans Girl Nearly Ended "Dr. Slump" Early

An interesting tweet summarizing an interview with mangaka Eguchi Hisashi (not to be confused with the Dragon Ball animator) came across my timeline earlier this morning. Former Weekly Shonen Jump editor Kazuhiko Torishima revealed in a recent interview that "Stop!! Hibari-kun!" by Hisash...

Re: Recasts that ended up being better than the original

Tanaka Mayumi's Uranai Baba. I know that there is a (misogynistic) history of men playing women in The Theater, but I really do hate it when a cis man plays any kind of woman. Women have a hard enough time getting any kind of role/work, so I was glad when Tanaka took over the role.

Re: Why are the English dubisms far too ingrained into the fandom?

I haven't been as active here in the last few months but since I started dropping back in, I fell under the impression Kanzenshuu had become a dub fan's paradise. I see hardly any sub/dub elitism. Every new topic seems to be about some obscure Peruvian, Yugoslavian, High Elvish dub that two, three ...

Getting a second chance doesn't mean we gotta let him back into our homes, fandom spaces, or the public spotlight. Furuya can save that shit for his private life.

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

I'm not trying to be a bitch or anything, but the title of the thread literally says Furuya Tooru, who is not exactly a voice actor in in the English dubbing industry.

In other news, I'm curious to see Mr. Satan again for the first time since his third voice actor, Ebara Masashi (Might Guy from NARUTO) was brought on to voice the character in 2020. Insofar, ...

Having been voted by the entirety of the eight billion people on the planet as the representative of everyone's opinions on the matter: it was stupid to crop older animation for Dragon Ball Kai, but at the same time, Dragon Ball Kai is also an entirely separate television series, and therefore does ...

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 ...
