I thought it was progressive to use "actor" as gender neutral. It's why I used it. I even stopped for a moment and almost changed it back to actress before I submitted.
From now on I'll use the sterile "voice performer".
What the f*** are we doing debating this?

Re: Are there any recent photos of Toriyama?
From my perspective, an artist is his or her work, and visa versa. When you do something creatively, you put yourself in it. Its fame is your fame and your fame is its fame. If you don't want to be famous for the work you did, maybe you shouldn't have done 42 volumes of it. You could stop at, say, f...

Re: Buu Saga Kai
I don't think Nozawa is trying to be deceptive, she's just giving some vague estimation. She's a voice actor, she's not in charge of the number of episodes in the series.
I'm sure recording less than she had to for Z probably felt like only half.

Re: Are there any recent photos of Toriyama?
There are hundreds of manga-ka looking to scratch out a living that would bleed themselves dry for the chance to hit it big like Toriyama, and he certainly didn't shy away from making 42 volumes of manga, or contributing to the TV shows based on them. He doesn't like the popularity? He contributes t...

Re: Are there any recent photos of Toriyama?
You just got to love these people that do something that gets them world famous and then decide they don't want attention after all. Hey, maybe you should have been a farmer, a grocery clerk, a postman. You know, something that doesn't draw people's attention like writing a weekly manga in a world f...

Re: Kai Episode 101 (20 April 2014)
It might just be my imagination, but it seemed like some scenes literally had footage sped up. Maybe I'm just paranoid. They sure went fast through Videl's training. I kind of wished they hadn't, because though it was padded a little in Z, or so I recall, it seemed to come across more natural. Learn...

Re: What was the point of Kai?
I find the fillers make the story worst since they do nothing to the plot and they are pretty much ignore later on. Remember when the Human Z Fighters beat the Ginyu Force on King Kai's Planet? That was total bullshit and made no sense. I think the Gohan filler in the Saiyan arc helps the story. It...

Re: Out of Character Moments in the series
He is not, at any point, refusing to fight. Yes, he is. When the Cell jrs are out and torturing his friends and family, he NEVER actually TRIES to attack Cell or the Cells Jrs. He just stands there, he doesn't TRY to stop it. And even before Cell spawned the Cell Jrs, in the manga, Gohan only actua...

Re: What Channel should DBZ Kai the Final Chapters Air On?
TLC, sandwiched between two episodes of Honey Boo Boo.
Get it? Boo? Disgustingly enormous stupid people? Fat Buu?
A match made in HFIL.

Re: What was the point of Kai?
It's a shortened version of an overly long, overly padded long-running action shonen series.
Is it cheaply done? Yes. But it's better than sitting through 291 episodes of DBZ, no matter what language it's in.

Gohan at the Cell Games. Completely irrational OOC behavior. I swear to Kaioshin, the first person to retread "Gohan during the Cell Games" is going to get a living room full of napalm. :evil: Why? They're not wrong. We've been over this ad nauseam, and you've failed at every turn. None o...

Re: Freeza and his men all have stereotypically "gay" traits
You might be reading too much into it. At most they're effete upperclass aristocrats that sit around admiring how great they are. Not necessarily feminine, but broadly flamboyant as the result of narcissism. I get the feeling that Freeza and his men never really had to work at being powerful, many o...

Re: Why are people so obsessed with DB returning to CN?
Which reaches more people, a digital cable channel many don't get or a programming block on a basic cable channel that the target audience isn't allowed to stay up to watch?
