Re: Has Toriyama retconned the “Ultimate Gohan”?
In the original manga, I think Ultimate Gohan was a permanent state after the ritual while Wrath of the Dragon had it as a transformation. They recently made a distinction between base and Ultimate Gohan so I could see it going either way in Super Hero. I think Ultimate will either be a transformati...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 80 - Official Discussion Thread
I don't have an issue with the setup-then-big-battle structure, personally. It worked for Battle of Gods, Resurrection 'F', the manga's US arc, DBS Broly, etc. because those large scale conflicts - however protracted - actually meant something, and served the characters that have been central to th...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 80 - Official Discussion Thread
This problem with Toyotaro has been a thing since the AF manga. His idea of an arc is basically an extended Z movie What makes you say that? I'm not sure what there is about Moro or Granolah that would feel more like a Z movie than RoF or Broly. I think most of modern DB had a simple structure of i...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"
CGI animated films and series overwhelmingly outpace hand drawn ones in terms of viewership and financial success in this modern era. Is there a source for this? CGI animated films dominate Hollywood but I don't think that's the case in Japan. In the top 50 highest grossing anime films, I believe o...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 80 - Official Discussion Thread
I didn't mind this chapter although the fight is still slow to be honest. I liked Elec relationship with Gas. King Piccolo was the only main villain who cared about his henchmen but what him and Elec have in common is that their henchmen are also family members. I could be wrong and Elec is only man...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"
Consider my speculation at 100% full, then. They aren't experimenting with CGI on this film, they did that on the past films with short CG sequences/FX - I think that was pretty obvious experimental and trending toward more - wherein this is now a full-blown new approach for an entire film. Also, t...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"
This is DB we are talking about the series that changed everything and a multibillion dollar franchise so they will take chances because Toriyama is Ok with any changes, And if this works out this will be a new norm. Sure but speculating that it might happen is different than claiming it's happenin...

I haven't been on here in a while but after reading through some recent complaints regarding the CG animation style for this movie, I wanted to weigh in. I've had the opportunity of working more and more in CG/animation/virtual production - and it is my educated opinion that, barring any considerab...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"
The main point is: quality is not a main goal here, the main goal of the franchise is to keep the money coming in. It has become a 'consumer based story', instead of a 'creative based story'. Thanks for clarifying what you meant. To be honest, I've had similar concerns in the past. I think it's a c...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"
Dragon Ball isn't being read, watched or enjoyed anymore. It's simply being consumed, that's the main problem. Even if this movie is well bellow standards, lots of people will watch it anyways, because 'at long last there is new DB-animated material that matters, hype, hype, hype'. The standard DB-...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
While I agree that'd be repetitive, it doesn't necessarily contradict any particular continuity. In fact, Gohan has gotten rusty twice already: once in the Boo arc, and again in Super. It might even be something of a running gag that Gohan keeps losing his fully powered state after periods of inact...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"
CGI is WAY cheaper than hand drawn animation. You only have to make a CGI model once, then you can position it and modify it as you like. With traditional animation, while there are some shortcuts, you pretty much have to draw every scene, every bit of movement. It's more work, and therefore costs ...

Re: Despite his goals, Zamasu is pure of heart?
I think the line about tea is like a proverb or figure of speech. Whoever wrote it probably didn't intend for it to be taken literally that tea in the DB universe has mystical properties that judge morality.
