This thread is confusing and throwing in Canon doesn't help... :crazy:

Re: When will the manga surpass the anime again?

I hope that the manga at least gives a bit of a recap of the fights from the exhibition. The chapters are about 40 to 45 pages, you can probably cram in three fights in it to recap the begining.

Re: When will the manga surpass the anime again?

I think Toyotaro underestimated how many more chapters he was going to have left with the future trunks arc. So at the time, he probably had an idea but at this point in time, I doubt it.

Re: What made you switch over to the Japanese version?

Mine was in 2008 (I have watched clips here and there before then) when Yo Son Goku and his Friends Return and since their was no dub, I watched it sub. As well the Bardock special, Battle of Gods and Super I have watched sub since then.

Re: Things that grind your gears

Another thing, when you try to mention things about GT or Movies, but some fans dismiss it as non canon and keep on saying "Why bother, it's non canon, so it doesn't mean anything..." as an example.

Re: What do you think the Zamasu of Dragon Ball GT has been up to?

Gowasu's Godtube career kicked in and he handed Zamasu the position of Supreme Kai, where he slowly plots what he will do to mortals but never had the guts to do anything. So he would just make himself tea and wonders what happened to his life if Gowasu's career in Godtube never kicked off.

Re: When did the series drag for you?

I guess it's the middle of the Buu saga, everything was great in the first half but as the 2nd half it just seems like it dragged on a bit Similar to how I felt, when I was reading the manga. Toriyama had something going with the first half, but after Vegeta scarifies himself. Particularly that's t...

When did the series drag for you?

Now don't get me wrong I love this series through and through, it's my favorite anime/manga of all time. However like any other series sometimes it feels like the series has run it's coarse and it feels like it's dragging to the finish line. To me, I guess it's the middle of the Buu saga, everything...

Re: What is your opinion of Super?

Despite the first 2 arcs being all over the place in terms of writing and quality, the arcs since then and slice of life episode have been satisfying enough. Far from perfect but so far I am enjoying it.

Re: Dragon Ball and "Feminism"

This is all leftist craziness. Going with that logic, any single minority could request 50% representation everywhere. They could accuse everything of discrimination. That makes completely no sense.

Re: Dragon Ball School Rumors?

Early Toonami meant early Internet, so anytime I would look things up on the early web, was when rumors were run wild. Like Bardock would meet Goku or Krillin somehow could be a super saiyan despite being human.

Re: Things that grind your gears

Fans who think they are better because they watch subs and look down on fans who like the dub more. Also on the other end, fans who only watch the dub and don't have an open mind to watch the sub and keep on going on how Goku is voiced by a girl.

Re: GT or Super? Which one is the best?

The only real problem I have for BOG retelling (besides the fight needed to end an episode sooner), is the development Goku got in the movie just dissapeared. I like the movie that he didn't like that he got the powers becuase he didn't earn them He didn't train or attain it on his own and he was fr...

The real reason Gowasu wants to retire?

SO after watching the latest episode and Gowasu talking about about the views and his joke with Zamasu back in the Black to the Future arc, do you think the real reason he wanted to hand over his supreme kaihood to Zamasu so is that he could become a Godtuber? It seems likely....

Re: Why did FUNi use different instrumental for their DB and DBGT covers?

It was standard practice back in the day, companies think that if it wasn't some kind of modern music to american kid's taste, then they may not like it. Luckily it doesn't happen much anymore.

Re: Is the 'Majin Vegeta arc' one of the greatest in the series?

While I still think the Buu arc is one of the more weaker arcs, I loved Vegeta every single moment in this arc. His storyline gets resolution. From where he sacrificed himself and him having the revelation that Goku was a better fighter then him.

If you want to collect all things Dragonball, then sure. However, if your not all that interested, then I'd say just stream it.

Re: Your opinion on skipping/not watching Dragon Ball

I think people are taking for granted just how much weaker the Saiyan arc is without experiencing Dragon Ball first. As has been pointed out several times, Piccolo's team up with Goku, and subsequent sacrifice to save Gohan, are utterly meaningless. So too is the reveal of Goku's heritage; him bein...

Re: GT or Super? Which one is the best?

It felt like it didn't make an impact on Goku, he showed up to stall Omega, then he died because he got absorbed back. Maybe it's just me though.
