Because canonicity isn't a, much less the , criterion of story quality. Very true. Let's provide three contrasting examples all dealing with the same character: Bardock. The original Bardock special is, despite it's now incompatible status, still considered to be a very good story that works entire...

What is BvS?

Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Ah okay, I never saw that but I did see the dedicated Superman movie that came before it.

How was Toei possibly going to avoid getting tied up in the heavy serialization of the series when they were the ones producing it? Because Toei weren't the ones writing it, Toriyama was. When you have a lengthy, ongoing story like Dragon Ball, it becomes incredibly difficult to try and find spots ...

I also remember reading several years ago that there were orange brick bootlegs that looked identical to the real things, but they were compressed to single layer and looked way shittier than normal. So if you're in the used market for some orange bricks, you need to be extremely careful there too,...

It's not an adaptation of those arcs. It takes elements and characters from that arcs to tell short story. It feels the most like DB out of any of the first 4 DB movies. I would say it adapts (very loosely) the Tenshinhan arc with its own spin on it but takes elements from RRA (Blue, Korin, Tao Pei...

I remember when some click farm posted an article saying Abridged is the best way to watch DBZ. I can't still believe there are people who think DBZA as something canon or official. I mean it's a good parody but it is not something I'd like to see as an official dub. Who thinks DBZA is canon? Point...

Hard to compare. Closest measurement I can think would be this . Going by that, more popular than Sonic but not Mario. Why not Mario. Mario has a wider appear to a broader range of people. Partially down to the times. Arguably the Dragon Ball manga is boring because you have to put the effort in to...

That's because the Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT Japanese audio is muffled on all home media releases so far. You can get DBZ Japanese audio in much better condition now and GT too, but wouldn't be legally. Dragon Ball is also avail but incomplete so far. Wrong. GT isn't muffled on ...

Android 21? Towa? I don't play video games and I have no idea who they are. https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Android_21 https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Towa —- But we need a Female Main Villain for the anime and Super Manga (as I said before doesn’t take the backseat when a new bad guy shows u...

Manga's Dragon Ball Super BDs are just the Funimation discs with the region code and logos changed, even keeping the ads for Speed Racer (not licensed here) and Funimation Now (a rival). Neither Manga UK or Madman are above using NTSC discs now, so I don't think a lack of PAL masters would be an is...

, they can market it similar to how they did Rock the Dragon How do you figure? Wasn’t Rock the Dragon’s marketing ZOMG nostalgia!!?!?11! and hey that meme remember that meme? It came from this! It’s over 9000!!!!! Oh I meant easier to market. Like how they had all the 52 eps and the movies in one ...

[ The cliché of "he was sent away to save his life" is played out as well. Since the old testament at least :D That version is far less interesting than the theme of elites vs. lower class that played out in the Saiyan arc. I do like that Goku was sent to earth because the Saiyajin consid...

Fair enough, but based on that picture, I imagine a live action version being something similar to Westworld when we the hosts' head and face over the cyborg endoskeleton. In Alita, it looks animated. I've only seen the trailer and the look doesn't appeal to me, nor does the subject matter. Funnily...

First, you mean imply, not infer. Lol, no I mean to infer. Imply and infer are opposites, like a throw and a catch. To imply is to hint at something, but to infer is to make an educated guess. The speaker does the implying, and the listener does the inferring. It’s funny how the first thing you try...

I kinda wish that Bulma's shrinking watch would make a return in either early Buu Saga, Super or GT. There were plenty of children characters who would enjoy it's usage (Goten/Trunks) or in the case of GT, Kid Goku or Pan. Would also be nice for it to be used in a slice of life or a comedic episode...

Well that’s the problem with the fandoms in general. The idea that if something is “non-canon” or doesn’t fit into the main timeline of a series then its automatically worthless or bad is such a stupid childish argument. On the flip side I’ve seen fans (not necessarily Dragon Ball fans) bend over b...

What is "pretty much dead"? Either something is dead "beyond resuscitation" or it's not. People like you slowly erode the meaning of perfectly good words and are responsible for the destruction of our language.

I enjoy discussing GT, so might give my two cents on this matter. In universe: I feel like it was to make Pan feel more "comfy" around Goku. If the plot were to stay the same, but Goku was an adult, it would be weird for her to be the only child amongst 2 adults on the spaceship. This way...

I mean, there was never any intent to have them explicitly fit in-"Canon" or even something as vague as matching the current state of the anime or manga at the time, just a general effort to have them fit the general status quo of the time in terms of character lineup and techniques used....

Is there any chance that this new release will include the higher quality, broadcast JPN audio? I've heard people here saying Chris Sabat (I believe) has the files in his possession. And since this is a collaboration between FUNi and Toei, maybe it's FUNi sharing those? I'd also love it if this is ...
