Re: One Piece Episode 590 (The One Piece x Toriko x Dragon Ball Z Crossover) to Air on Toonami on March 4
Curious because I imagine many people who'll watch this will have zero idea what Toriko is considering it sort of came and went.

Re: Dragon Ball and AI in voice acting
I hope this doesn't become a thing in the voice acting industry. A.I is not a good thing for society in my opinion Well first of all, AI could be a VERY good thing for society. The issue isn't with AI; it's with society. If we didn't have a capitalist hellscape, I'd say "I can see good use cas...

Re: Toriyama and Toyotaro are bad at writing female characters/female Warriors
Not a novel observation. I could go on a 100,000 word gender studies dissertation about this topic and why sidelining half the population frustrates me, but to sum it up, patriarchal societies view femininity as weak and passive, and in an action-centric work, that is a recipe for disaster. Kung fu ...

Re: Dragon Ball and AI in voice acting
Given AI can literally mimic anyones voice with just 1 minute audio sample then it's no surprise that voice actors are getting kicked out. My view in it is that generative AI is great for poor shmucks like myself and other small creators and devs who want to make something big but never had the cap...

Re: Dragon Ball and AI in voice acting
A.I. voice acting is the one area where I currently see a potentially legitimate threat to the entertainment industry. Ones that emulate real people do tend to be scarily accurate. Only a few further developments really need to be made before I can picture mass voice actor layoffs, which will suck ...

Re: "Yabanverse" | A worldbuilding project that's like DBZ meets Warhammer 40k
Okay, I still really like this project yet I have to say this, with complete affection: this verse is starting to feel less like a cohesive meta-narrative about a feral female Kakarrot that I thought it would be and more like one of those epic, barely legible 400,000-word paracosmic manuscripts fou...

Re: What was your first introduction to Dragon Ball?
First memory of it at all? Some time in 2000. My dad was a fan at the time and had VHSes of it (not fansubs). My first memory was of Gohan resting victorious after defeating Cell, though it was just a snippet at most. My first memory of a full episode was of Boo, but I remember not liking DBZ at all...

Re: Toriyama loves Star Wars but has George Lucas ever talked about Dragon Ball?
We do have an example of a literal Sith Force Choke being used in Dragon Ball... although this was made by Toyotaro: https://i.postimg.cc/Gt7XdXw8/Fused-Zamasu-Choke.jpg And it's the only instance in the entire franchise where a technique so similar to Sith force choke is displayed.

Welp. Since I merged the Yabanverse with Dragon Ball, that opens the gates for me to start posting Yabanverse stuff in these threads now rather than just its own. No more need to write lengthy disclaimers that "Actually, this isn't a Saiyan, but, um, a, um, a-a ZAIYAN! Totally different!" ...

Good news, the two people who might care: I've decided to give up all pretenses and remarry the Yabanverse back into Dragon Ball. https://www.reddit.com/r/Yabanverse/comments/10o5vok/ive_gathered_the_seven_dragon_balls_and_have/ I'm completely serious too. "No more Yabans?" Actually, "...

So with the news that Alejandro Graue, the voice of Broly in the Argentinan dub of Dragon Ball Super Broly is being replaced by an AI (artificial intelligence) voice what are everyone's thoughts on such technology being used in future Dragon Ball dubs? I personally sympathise with all the voice act...
