Re: Super Michael's Goten & Trunks Appreciation Thread.

I, for one, would like to separate them for a change. You really don't need to pair them up all the time. Let Goten be Goten on his own, let Trunks be Trunks on his own for a little while. Some sense of individuality is great too, and these characters desperately need it. That's the one thing I'll ...

Re: Which other timeskip could work as a midquel?

My personal view of that time was that Vegeta was probably depressed and moping for the first few years until Trunks got old enough to train, at which point he caught the bug again. I don't think you need anything more elaborate than that.

Re: The Current SAG AFTRA strike and dubbing

. However this isn't a Dragon Ball subject. But to make a joke. My random opinion is Bulma would support the strike while Dr.Briefs would not. Dragon Ball characters that would and would not support the strike Would support: Gohan Bulma (but only because a hot actor gave his support to the strike) ...

Re: The Current SAG AFTRA strike and dubbing

I'm not sure why we're having a thread about something that won't have a pronounced effect on Dragon Ball. Regardless, support strikes and unions. I was sorta hoping people would point out "Well James Masters acted on Dragon Ball didnt he?" Okay. "Well, James Masters acted on Dragon ...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions

Why wouldn't they? It's a movie that was aggressively hated with a passion by most of the fandom (the rest being apathetic towards it or too young to remember it existed)and it was a singular movie from nearly 15 years ago without any sort of follow up. There is zero incentive for any of Dragon Bal...

Re: DB/Z Movie Singles JPN Audio vs Double Features/Movie Packs.etc

If I had to guess, for the singles Funi used whatever audio was with the digibeta tapes Toei gave them, and for the movies they just used the shitty mono track attached to the film masters since they always treated the Japanese audio as an afterthought.

Re: Aren't they worrying the original Seiyuu's not going to be with us forever?

I think a bigger waste would be dedicating a shred of production time to anything from that movie. Just because the movie is bad doesn't mean it can't or shouldn't be used for more interesting stuff, or proportionate a more compelling setting for the characters. But, if for some reason Shueisha or ...

Re: Aren't they worrying the original Seiyuu's not going to be with us forever?

They would definitely have done something like that if Dragon Ball were an American franchise. Well, it's more common in the West, but they do it in the East too. Godzilla (1998) was acknowledged by Toho and even featured in a movie alongside other characters (only to die, but still). It would be a...

Re: The CW's ratings have officially reached rock bottom.

This is the fanart I was talking about. The only other explanation is grown adults drawing this and that's horrifyingly creepy. https://www.metv.com/toon-in-with-me-fan-gallery The vast majority of those look like the work of adults. Be grateful they're drawing that and not say, Majin Buu turning t...

Now if they broadcasted the Cell Games, that would probably improve their ratings quite a bit.

Re: Why does Vegeta still call himself Prince?

His entire race and culture was swept from under him before he ever could ever become King. The title as it were would be worthless. The Saiyan race was a thing of the past and Vegeta's Princehood was the last remaining relic he could hold onto.

Re: Were there hard feelings between Linda Young and Funimation after she was recast?

I seem to recall hearing that part of why she was recast was that she was genuinely not able to keep up with how verbose Freeza was in the Kai dub. Like, FUNi by their own admission had no idea what kind of character Freeza was supposed to be back in the Ocean days, which was partially down to the ...

I mean her own son is still on the dub so I doubt it's a big deal. It's a job, that stuff happens.
