Re: When did liking the dub become acceptable?

The only company FUNimation would realistically have "bad blood" with is Saban, due to their butchery of DBZ's first two seasons. I'm not sure how much influence Saban actually had, but Barry Watson seems to be the main scapegoat nowadays. Watson was in charge of editing the show for TV (...

Re: When did liking the dub become acceptable?

My guess would be somewhere around the mid to late 2000s. Most of the older generation of "subbies" seemed to lose interest in the franchise and move on with their lives. The ones that remained seemed to mature and stopped worrying about "dubbies." That generation also came from ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Animation Staff Discussion

Before Yamamuro, who was the director of DB anime?! And how much different he was? Since Yamamuro is not the series director (that's Chioka Kimitoshi) but the lead animator/designer, his past equivalents were Minoru Maeda (DB, Z 1-199) and Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru (Z 200-291, GT). Maeda seems pretty po...

Re: What was the point of Piccolo dying in Super?

As for the thread maybe his death will give him the motivation for him to get stronger and he'll seek out the 'Namekian book of legends?' and find out how to become a Super Namek God. That's what I've been hoping. Something like "I couldn't protect Gohan" will motivate him to train and ge...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Animation Staff Discussion

All that great treatment that Precure is getting is ridiculous. Compared to DB/OP barely anyone knows about that franchise worldwide. It doesn't seem to do half the money these two do in Japan either. The best animators should work on their best selling series. Simple logic. Doesn't this just prove...

Re: People you realized never came back.

The Namekian Grand Elder is one of the only permanent deaths in the series, aside from villains. There's also the Namekian village that Vegeta slaughtered, but their non-revival is actually pointed out in dialogue. If we count God, then Nail should probably count too. Grandpa Gohan specifically reje...

Gokuu has the #4 ball because #1 or #7 would be "self-absorbed" (都合がよすぎる). I'm sure the site staff would find a better way to word that. I'm not quite sure I get that. Having the 1 star or 7 star would be self-absorbed? That doesn't make sense to me. Is there a better way to explain what ...

Well, mostly this forum is for news and new information about the game.

I don't think there was any new Q&A material though (much to my disappointment). That kind of stuff usually pops up on Twitter from the Japanese fans after the volumes are released. Well, my volumes just arrived and there are definitely Q&As in them. I haven't looked through them too thorou...

Re: Why didn't Dragon Ball have a Zombie Arc?

DB Movie 2 had a major horror movie theme. Baba's tournament sort of did as well. Witch, ghosts, vampire, mummy, demon, invisible man. The Garlic Jr and Baby arcs had instances of friends becoming infected/corrupted by evil stuff. Xenoverse (and Online?) sort of has this too. Z Movie 12, Super 17, a...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Animation Staff Discussion

The storyboards for 27 are credited to Hiroyuki Kakudou. It looks like his only previous DB experience is directing (and storyboarding) GT Episodes 5 and 10, but he has over 30 years of experience in the industry, including serving as series director for Digimon Adventure and 02. I don't know if he'...
