Kanzenshuu

So I have a question for you all. I grew up with Saban then Funimation DBZ meaning Shuki Levy/Faulconer. However, as a purist, I prefer to watch DBZ in its original Japanese format with voices and score. I was talking to my friend a few days ago and he, despite never having read the manga, says he t...

Deus ex machina does not mean "asspull" and never has. If an outside power resolves an otherwise hopeless plot situation then it's a deus ex machina. It does not matter if it was foreshadowed much earlier in the story. Foreshadowing does not preclude something from being a deus ex machina...

It was a deus ex machina and an asspull because there was no logical way the button could have stayed in Goku's pockets after all the the times he was damaged and thrown around by Black and Zamasu from ep. 55 to 67. It's a cartoon. Fitting with cartoon logic, it's perfectly fine. It's also still a ...

There's no such thing as a non-political piece of media though, everything is political like it or not. I get being bothered by changes though, sometimes they are necessary because sometimes very Japanese specific things like puns or wordplay simply will not translate well into English. Yeah, there...

I would prefer something new and original for a movie. I still think there will be some DB movie or anime continuation around the time of the Olympics since Goku is an ambassador. They're going to capitalize on the popularity. So far, the Moro arc would be a good anime cour or two depending on how l...

I don't like how Zamasu's defeat comes down to a deus ex machina. Honestly I don't think Moro will be as unique as Immortal Zamasu, he will probably lose after being overpowered. That is more cliché, but at least it's hard to screw it up. Technically it wasn't. For it to be deus ex machina, Zeno wo...

As for the green tint. I think in these Dragon Box episodes with the green tint, that Kai looks better: I never owned the orange bricks, but those screenshots all look better than Boo Kai color-wise. However, that image of Vegeta seems a bit too high in contrast (or just too damn bright, whatever)....

Actually that's only really true of DBZ, their other dubs like Blue Gender and Yu-Yu-Hakisho are considerably more faithful to the original. Danganronpa 3 almost had a gag dub from what I've heard, Prison School had that gamergate line*, and I think it was Dragon Maid that had a few lines changed I...

I always wondered about. I know a central theme of DB is "there's always someone out there stronger" but the power creep is so insane that I wonder how long it'll continue. What they might start doing is focusing on characters like Moro who can't be defeated with raw power, but instead re...

I boycott Funimation simply because I dislike their dubs. They don't approach anime with an intent to do a faithful translation/localization of the original dialogue. They go and add jokes, change the tone, add references, etc. and I don't want to support that, especially with Dragon Ball. While th...

I remember the anime had that scene during Trunks' monologue, where it shows Gero from behind, still in human form as he gets killed by the Androids (although the "Androids" look nothing like any of the Androids in that scene). It's interesting because Gero's hair in that scene is already...

He's the most incompetent character, but the worst? No. The worst character, in terms of likability, is Gotenks. Everything he does is just mindless filler that isn't funny, that doesn't help the situation, and is generally a waste of time. He is basically an anime version of me from when I was a ki...

I honestly thought Champa would win the U6 tournament and the main plot of Super would be everyone's adventures in U6. I thought they could have another 200+ episode series based on villains in that universe alone. My other take was that the majority of Super would be spent trying to revert things b...

No, airing Kai on Kidswb hurt Kai in the US. The average fan assumed Kai with Blue Popo and the glowing light orbs in place of halos, and the complete lack of blood and references to death was the actual Dragon Ball Z Kai. The eventual Adult Swim airings I think mostly fixed this mentality but befo...

Not like Boo Kai does.... Not at all like Boo Kai does.

Where are you getting this info that Toriyama intended 19 and 20 to be the real Androids? I always hear people say Toriyama said this. Toriyama intended that. Never with anything to back that up. In addition to the link the other person gave you, note that in the manga, Trunks tells Goku that the a...

Disagree. Nothing about that dumb show is well made. The jokes aren't funny and the "performances" are amateurish in every way possible. They've had very little genuine impact beyond a few references that infected their way into Kai's dub, and the show is worse off for it. I feel like Mug...

It's not really a Kai in terms of cutting out filler (since there is hardly any in the main product), but Gintama had a "season" called "Yorinuki Gintama-san." To quote Wikipedia, "In addition to being broadcast in HD, new opening and ending animations and themes have been m...

Actually the actors have aged 20 years at the time of Kai and not 30. My bad dude. I'm still reeling in from the shock that Kai is 10 years old. It does not feel like it was from that long ago. The Z dub is really bad but Kai itself is a mediocre product. I dunno. I still enjoy Kai for its much imp...
