Re: Is the "partial" re-dub of Season 3 worth it?
Honestly, if I were ever to watch Funimation's original in-house dub again, it would be for nostalgia and to poke fun at its questionable parts. Obviously, with the second reason in mind, it would actually be better to have the original bad voice acting on the disc, rather than the Frankenstein-ed r...

Re: Super Animation Catalogue - [Updated with #60]
I'm late to the party, I know, but I just got done watching episode 60 and, considering this episode was outsourced and hardly animated... it didn't look that bad. Off-putting Dragon Ball Super art usually jumps out to me, but I didn't notice anything too offensive my first time through. Maybe I was...

Re: Is SSJ Blue the most underwhelming transformation in the history of Dragon Ball?
Yeah, Super Saiyan Blue is pretty lame, I must say. More so than any form before, it feels like a cynical ploy to sell toys, with hardly any narrative justification for its existence. I mean, what's the point of having it when Goku and Vegeta keep using their regular Super Saiyan transformations all...

Re: Why I think characters are becoming or became irrelevant
Gohan could have been an interesting main hero, depending on how Toriyama developed him. He's a kid who doesn't really like fighting, but who has been constantly forced into conflicts over the course of a (very) traumatic childhood. I'd say that provides decent material to build upon. A story arc lo...

Re: Madman's Dragon Ball Z: The Complete Collection (Blu-ray and DVD)
Wasn't Madman the same company that went out of its way to secure better masters for its Sailor Moon release, so it wouldn't have to use Viz's cruddy footage? A little odd that they'd do the opposite with Dragon Ball Z, though not entirely surprising.

Re: What's the deal with Kid Trunks' Super Saiyan Hair?
Well, kid Trunks doesn't get as many opportunities to turn Super Saiyan compared to Goku or Vegeta, thanks to Gotenks being a thing. Maybe that played a part in a standard shape for his hair not developing?

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
I can't believe Bra got angry enough to turn Super Saiyan all because of a phony "you fight like a girl" line. That's so ridiculous, it's actually kind of funny. Next, Gohan will get a rage boost if Bra calls him four eyes. Speaking of Gohan, did he seriously just use "nervosity"...

Re: Super Animation Catalogue - [Updated with #59]
Nothing too noteworthy this week. I loved the way Beerus caught and twisted Zamasu's hand. That punch kid Trunk's landed on his older self was a little awkward, but everything else held together fairly well.

Re: Toyotaro Goku & Toei Goku
For the longest time, Toei had a habit of making Goku a tad more traditionally heroic and serious than Toriyama's Goku. I guess now they decided to fix that, after having Toriyama involved in newer material like Battle of Gods , but maybe swung a little too far in the other direction? That's just my...

Re: Why I think characters are becoming or became irrelevant
With series featuring a more-or-less constant status quo -- say, your One Piece s or your Yu Yu Hakusho s (and I mean no slight against either) -- it becomes all too easy for it to slip one's mind just how many echelons of power the central characters have had to climb to get to where they are now;...

Re: The Truth About Dragonball Absalon
I'm not sure the word "positive" fits the subject I alluded to in my third paragraph, but that's a topic for another forum.
Thanks for sharing your insights on Absalon, Shad73. I'm glad you put the information out there.

For the most part, I've always seen Absalon as a dumb thing to laugh at every now and then, but I didn't think it's community was actually as toxic as your account suggests.

Re: Why I think characters are becoming or became irrelevant
Framing irrelevance in terms of a character's combat strength isn't something I can get on board with, even in a battle-centric series like Dragon Ball. Dende was a weakling compared to everyone in the Freeza Arc, but he was vital to the plot without every having to throw a single punch. I feel fans...

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
Yeah, saying he hopes Vegetto doesn't do anything "rash" or "risky" would have been a better fit for Gohan's polite personality. Little details like this can go a long way towards making a character feel like him or herself in a fan work.

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
I'm no human anatomy expert, but the muscular details in Vegetto's arms look a little off. Still, I can't fault the art too much. So far, it's been a nice blend of Toriyama's style and an aesthetic similar to western comics. The compositions for each panel are nicely balanced and the detail in the b...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
Since none of the other Universes show more than one Kaioshin at a time (questionable examples mentioned in the reply below excluded), they don't offer any clarity on the matter. But Universe 6 had two Kaioshin. [spoiler] http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/a/ad/Universe6-Kaioshin...

People have been making a fuss about the Pokemon anime's new look? Really? Like, all we've seen of it so far is a miniature trailer. At least wait until the first episode airs before you go into an uproar. That would at least give an adequate sample size for judging how effective the art style is. J...

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
The panels in this page really jump around. There really should have been a least one transitional panel between those two beams meeting and Bra being overwhelmed. It feels like we're missing too much material in between. Ideally, the lookout scene would have happened on the next page, to provide a ...
