Re: New Dragon Ball Z Blu-Rays From Crunchyroll Coming August 1st

So, how are these blu rays? Probably some repackage of old Funimation stuff? I am turning 35 this year and I will probably die from old age first, than ever getting the show or at least the Z portion of it as a standard non-butchered english release. I have missed on the Z Dragon Boxes back then, as...

Re: Toriyama's daughter Wedding crashing

Pardon my french, but that's a shitty thing to happen! To anyone. The media have no morale to invade people's private lives like that. Yeah, that person is on the TV, people love them, but that's where it ends (unless the person embraces it and gives consent). Same thing with fans, I am buying produ...

Re: What 3 wishes would you make with the Dragon Ball?

1. Heal the world and nature
2. Be rich enough to not have to work anymore.
3. Have my own island to live on away from other people :))

One selfless wish for nature and animals and the rest is clear :lol:

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

I have to agree with many that I would've prefered Toriyama's updated style. One of the interesting aspects of the franchise is that Toriyama's artstyle is always changing. And while my most favorite era of his will always be the mid 90s, I am all for consistency. While all the stories mention Toriy...

Re: Do you like Super?

Interesting point from Super Michael with Goten and Trunks. I have just rewatched the first half of Buu arc in my retrospective run of watching through the series from DB, that started like 5 years ago :lol: But when Goten and Trunks go to the martial arts tournament, they get excluded for being kid...

Re: Do you like Super?

It's painful for me to watch Super. The retellings are subpar, the overall quality of production is horrid. While I can aknowledge that Sumitomo is talented musician, I have never grown to like his soundtracks as the songs are not consistent in style, sometimes it sounds like generic arcade music. W...

Re: Is original Dragon Ball really that unpopular?

I was just about to make another pointless thread about ask if people did get into Z via the Frieza arc. I want to ask because Namek doesnt look very interesting and the hype of it comes from seeing the Saiyan saga and knowing there is a need to resurrect everyone and that Freeza is someone even th...

Re: "Dragon Ball FighterZ" Official Discussion Thread

While the game still looks awesome on PS5, wasn't the rollback tied to it being full PS5 upgrade?
I am playing Guilty Gear Strive online and it's completely different experience.

Re: Is original Dragon Ball really that unpopular?

All the more reason to think I have a good point. Most people don't (or didn't, not so sure that holds true these days) start shows from the first episode, but that means that something that happened later drew their attention. If they go back to the beginning, they KNOW for certain that they will ...

Re: Is original Dragon Ball really that unpopular?

I wouldn't say unpopular, but as many said, in DBZ shadow... DBZ is kinda like the Original Trilogy in Star Wars, setting up overall standards. Dragon Ball was huge hit in Germany and pretty much around Europe. I remember it being advertised in teasers and trailers on RTL II with kung fu movie vibes...

Re: How popular is GT?

One thing that I have noticed is, that GT takes heavy inspiration in designs not done by Toriyama, in his designs for other franchises like Dragon Quest. And probably even before, for example Dr. Litchee from The Plan... from the DBZ Gaiden resembles first form Mortamor from Dragon Quest VI or Omeg...

Re: "Dragon Ball Legends" Official Discussion Thread

I hope it wasn't karma, but yeah, as I've said, no UR characters in this anniversary for me... I hated those banners for those lackluster giveaways. But still, even being year out of the game, I was killing it on PVP with legacy characters, as I am basically in the game since day one, hence maxed ou...

Re: A new Budokai Tenkaichi has been announced

The models are clearly different. Sure, they might have took the old ones and update them in more poly and what not. But besides replicating an iconic scene (the posture, face and everything), you can see that it is more streamlined and with more detail and feather lines. The RB model is more obliqu...

Re: How popular is GT?

I am actually surprised, thanks for all the answers and lot of data and objective answers with some interesting personal stories. I feel that Latin American sentiment about more Dragon Ball, as that’s similar to me and my friends when Z switched to GT and we were super excited. It’s actually funny, ...

How popular is GT?

I would probably find old dead topics for this kind of question, but as rarely as I am here now, there are moments in discussions around video games and canonicity of the whole series with various opinions on where does GT stand popularity wise. And really, I am curious and would love to know if do ...

Re: A new Budokai Tenkaichi has been announced

About the roster, people tend to forget that Raging Blast 1 and 2 were actually Budokai Tenkaichi games on then current gen (PS3/360). BT3 had roster of reportedly around 98 characters, while RB2 sported a Z only roster with some never before seen characters at 66. There was never bigger roster than...

I'd love to see some gameplay, but I guess we can count on that probably near the end of or next year.

Re: Aren't they worrying the original Japanese cast are not going to be with us forever?

I can understand that to westerners, the practice of using the same actors across all media seems all the more conservative in comparison with western productions, where you have different actors in live action, in dubbed material and in video games. But I remember the situation when the actor of Mr...
