Re: DBS treated Goten and Trunks really bad
My biggest gripe is that they're supposed to be like 13-14 and they're still written like they're 7 years old.

Re: Could Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta be Partially Classified as a Gag Character?
The confetti thing is probably the only joke type thing he ever did. Being comically overpowered doesn't really make him a gag character.

Tonight on "Things to Make You Feel Old"
So I just realized this year will be the 11th anniversary Funimation's dub of Dragon Ball (Z) Kai being released on home media, and airing on Nicktoons. Meaning it's now the same age the old "Season 3" dub that started using the in-house cast was when it first started airing. Time sure doe...

Re: If anime never happened, would Dragon Ball ever be as big as it is now?
I could see the manga becoming a fairly popular cult classic in the west. However I think an anime adaptation would be inevitable, and if the 86 anime never got made we would have probably got a situation similar to Jojo where an adaptation gets made decades later, with maybe a couple of OVA's in th...

Re: "Dragon Ball FighterZ" Official Discussion Thread
Recently picked up the Switch version. Had the PS4 version for a bit, but no PS4. I wanna build an arcade stick and maybe start training for a local or something once this virus stuff goes away.
Right now my main team is:
Coola
Videl

Re: Deploy the Headcanon!
The low class type Saiyans all have high pitch voices. This is the in-universe reason Goku, Bardock, Tullece, Goten etc all the have the same voice.

Re: Does English Dragon Ball need higher profile actors?
Eh not really. Someone being more "high profile" doesn't really make them a better actor, union actors hogging rolls would essentially force wannabe voice actors into joining with them to find work; and voice actors being shafted for celebrities is honestly an annoying practice with big bu...

Re: Deploy the Headcanon!
The SSJ3 form's long hair is a safety measure that prevents the user's body being overloaded with ki, by giving it more space to flow through.

Re: Appreciating the Little Things
I liked how creative the title cards were with the Ocean dub, it's a bummer that they went back to plain white text after they started doing everything in house. Can't say I agree. IMO the Ocean title cards look incredibly tacky, like they were made with Microsoft Word art. Still better then boring...

No I'm pretty sure the "pure evil" line was sub only.
Unless you're thinking of the Kai dub.

Re: Vegeta spents most of the time being a douchebag in the orginal manga,does a 180 and never suffers for his crimes
This is one area I always thought the old Funimation dub handled better. His turn seemed more slow and gradual, instead of him talking like a psychopath until the Buu arc. I can’t think of anything specific to the old Funi dub that made his turn seem slow and gradual Stuff like those cheesy "W...

Re: Piccolo destroying the cameras
I think it was literally because he was powerful enough to focus on them and blow them up. Freeza was able to takecomplete control of Krillin's body and toss him up like a ragdoll; so it's not farfetched to assume someone as powerful as Buu arc Piccolo could focus a tiny bit of ki into a camera and ...

Re: Has FighterZ made Budokai 3 obsolete?
To my knowledge, Budokai was never played hyper competitively and was just popular among DBZ fans who also happened to be into video games. Fighterz is targeted at fans of more "hardcore" Fighterz. It can't really replace anything, because it's filling a hole Budokai 3 wasn't even in.

Re: Unreleased "Vendar" English dub of Dead Zone (Funimation/Ocean, 1996)
It's nuts to think there's still unreleased stuff that's been lost for over twenty years. Just when you think you know every obscure thing in the franchise.

Re: Minority representation for minority characters in Voice acting
The problem with the "It takes away roles" argument is that it implies minorities are only able to voice characters that represent how they are in real life. And most shows that have white characters voicing people of color usually have tiny voice casts anyway. Commander Black was voiced b...
