Re: In retrospect, was the (US) Dragon Box a 'monkey paw' release?

For me Dragon Ball is much more than a children's cartoon. I guess it was intended to be just that, a cartoon, and objectively speaking, you can say that it is, but fortunately, we don't live in an objective world, and so this cartoon in particular, in my view, has become something else altogether. ...

Re: Why don’t we have a Guidebook so far for the show

As much as I like guidebooks, I don't think they're as popular anymore for anime shows. Daizenshuu & GT Perfect Files are still pretty much the Holy Grail of most that there should be to know about DB in general. They could have an updated, general DB guidebook tho, which could include the DBS ...

Re: A proposal about the future of Dragonball

I personally don´t mind that Dragon Ball gets new content, as long as they do it properly, and stop rehashing things from the classical anime trilogy. If I don´t enjoy it, I can always go back to the original ones. If they are so desperate to reuse concepts, how about they reuse the DBHeroes stuff? ...

Re: All in all, are you happy the revival happened?

I´m honestly not happy. Super, for a long, very long number of reasons, has been creatively a disaster, in my opinion, manga included. I liked a few concepts, and that´s it. And now, this seems to be the new direction Dragon Ball is taking, so that makes things worse. Some of the things/concepts/mom...

Help translating old dragon ball cards from japanese

Hello, So I´m compiling all cards info from a dragon ball card game that got mainly released in Japan and France, by Bandai. I´m not sure what it´s called in english, but there´s a french website with a database of all of its cards (I´ll post a link). In France it was released in 2009 I think. The t...

Re: "Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot" Official Discussion Thread

Personally I'm hoping we just get Z stuff, no modern era stories. Original stories like the 'Yardrat party' and possibly something in End of Z but that's it. They already said they won't be doing the old movies which sucks, but whatever. What do you mean by old movies? You mean they won´t add stuff...

Re: Funimation Leaked Outtakes

There seems to be some sorta hypocrisy here, as they fired Vic Mignogna without a solid proof, yet jokes that might seem offensive to some is considered ok... There's no hypocrisy whatsoever. None. Lets say we lived in an alternate universe where the Vic thing never happened and this audio still le...

Re: DBGT: General Designs/Visuals & Music Opinions

I haven't gotten too far but it looks alright to me, with the one glaring exception being the spaceship, probably the single worst design in all of Dragon Ball history. Seriously? Woah. Are you sure it´s not an exaggeration? I mean, we are talking about the whole Dragon Ball history. As in, the who...

Seems like there´s no garlic jr saga :cry: Do you guys think it will be featured in a minor event (therefore not showing in a trailer yet)? I mean, they even included the car driving quest, what about fighting garlic jr and other movie villains? Destroying Arlia with Vegeta and Nappa? Fake Namek?

Re: "Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot" Official Discussion Thread

Yeah, if it gose to Buu saga, it would be my dream db game, too, aside from a Dragon Ball and GT game. I just hope they´ll release those, too.

Because, sure, we have seen a lot of z in games (though not like this), but what about original DB or GT? They need to make this happen!

I don´t want the franchise to end, but I do want them to treat it carefully and with respect. Like, I did not like Super as much as most people, but I don´t mind as much because for me, the canon is the "classical" dragon ball age, and Super definitely comes from another timeline, the mang...

There was a time where I wasted my time explaining the aspect ratio issue to people, be it for movies, TV, games, heck, even photos. But it's no use. While there are people that are genuinely ignorant about it, most simply don't care. They would rather cut, or worse, stretch things to whatever scre...
