Re: I'm Pissed of copycat called DragonBall Super
Dragonball Super has the right amount of comedy and action. I think you are digging too deeply honestly. At least in this series the heroes are constantly reaching new heights while fleshing out the universe. I look forward to the new film and the future of this great franchise. Even the actions ar...

Re: A Kai Version of DB (1986 OG Series)
Original DB is a classic. No jk Compared to latest digital/cgi-era animation where everythin feels plastic, OG DB though grainy & has aged, its got authentic, realistic touch. And its animation is really good for its age. If ur a newbie to the franchise, its normal that after you watch Cell &...

Well, you can always start jumping into DragonBall anytime you wish Its cool your just 14 & yet got into Kanzenshuu. Its suprising how you're keen in getting to knw abt DB while most teenagers in ya age tend to lean towards latest series. But you've said how u missed out certain portions of the ...

Re: OG Dragon Ball and why one shouldnt mind if people skip it
As far as I'm concerned, Dragon Ball should be fun, and "fun" can look very different depending on the person. I've gotten my fun out of the entirety of the series, and I'd certainly encourage someone to check out pre-Z if they haven't, but forcing the issue beyond a recommendation seems ...

Ever watched DB & gave Dr. Slump & Arale-Chan a shot?
Recently got to know Toriyama was a millionaire (earned 12 million per annum it seems) before og DB, as his Dr. Slump was smash hit. And Arale-chan was said be to some kinda predecessor of Son Goku as to how he was/is to anime industry in general Havin warmed-up to Toriyama's sense of humor in DB (p...

Re: Vegeta was given so many chances in DBZ
All the things you mentioned & the fact he remained fan-favourite durin its original serialization back then 1980's-1996 till date is what makes Vegeta an unique character. So many try bein anti-hero, and quite frankly none of em ever match up to Vegeta. The masculinity, arrogance, battle genius...

Re: About Uub from GT
Probably because the show was over in 64 episodes. Otherwise, we might have seen Oob display more genie powers in future episodes. That is if the writers remembered or if they decided to invest in Oob's character more. Even if the show went by hi for nother 100 or 200 so episodes, the focus would s...

Re: How did Chi Chi get pregnant?
Ask Chichi perhaps?
Goku knows waay more things than most ppl credit him with. He was innocent, naive. When he was living as country bumpkin @ Mt. Paozu. Dont disregard the fact he's battle genius/greatest martial artist in the world (possibly next to deities & Muten Roshi) even in DB

Re: Your standards on (adult) Goku's voice.
Peter Kelamis (Ocean dub) sounded good as Goku. Nxt to Nozawa-san, his voice acting is what comes to mind when I think of English Goku. His comical scenes with Vegeta as they escape frm Majin's body were so funny, so much it reminded of original Nozawa-san's. He managed to capture Goku's innocence w...

Re: Do we expect too much from Dragon Ball?
DB being simple and straightforward are what make it so appealing to a large number of people. Someone can literally start watching at any point in the story, and get hooked on it because it's easy to follow along and the themes are universally appealing. Characters like Krillin, Tien, Piccolo, Goh...

Re: Do we expect too much from Dragon Ball?
Its up to individual perception I actually think DragonBall (og DB & DBZ) is perfect the way it is. Doesn't take itself too seriously, and even when it does it seems apt. Dark & intense when its required As for modern version😅may as well not bother at all. Cuz I've washed my hands clean off ...

Re: How characters trains is as important as how strong the characters are
Not sure how serious this is but clearly there is a vast difference between those two things. One is a solid and meaningful effort at applying sound logic and reasoning to plotting and development. The other is empty and absurd nonsense thrown together in order to justify 17's inclusion. There’s ab...

Re: How characters trains is as important as how strong the characters are
Toriyama knew training could only go so far (Android/Cell Arc & pre-Majin Boo to some degree) that he choose Fusion, potential unlocks to keep things interesting. I agree tbh. But you're talkin abt "creative" training methods here. One look at zeno, belmod & u think "creative&...

Re: Has the focus on Saiyan in the series ruined the entire franchise?
The problem isn't necessarily with the Saiyans itself; the problem is the power creep that has occured throughout the franchise. This essentially locks the show in very predictable patterns: because only Saiyans can effectively move the plot, it almost inevitably becomes the Goku and Vegeta show as...

I agree with Nozawa-san. She's been in anime industry way too long & if there's a change, she'd be the 1st to notice Culmination of studio interference, voice director & seiyuu's approach towards the character seem to be responsible Accidentally watched Harem series few days ago. Noticed the...

Re: What does the Japanese fandom think of the West’s version of Dragon Ball?
Do you think the English scores outmatch the Japanese in anyway? I agree with the treatment Dragon Ball has gotten. Unfortunately there’s a monopoly on dubbing basically. No variation. Suprisingly yes. Few dbgt scores esp in Baby, Super 17 & Shadow Dragon Saga had some notable if not superior s...

But why? why not Majin Buu? he is not a hakaishin, he is not Beerus, he has no out-of-universe plot armor. By now he is fodder, he's been fodderized even by flesh and blood. He is not even that strong, he was SS3 level, a joke tier by now. Beerus himself is a joke when MUI Goku, Zeno came into pict...

Re: Dr Slump... had character progression?
As far as gag character goes.
They're funny & thats all that matters to me.
Senbei coping with Arale's hyperactivity & latter adapting herself with people around her school, cops, animals in Penguin Mura qualifies as character progression I suppose.
