Re: Toei Establishes Department Focused on Dragon Ball
Dragon Ball's not dormant. We're still getting games announced on a regular basis and DB Heroes is still big in Japan, as far as I'm aware. There's almost certainly potential for another series (and I'm honestly surprised Super isn't continuing considering how obsessed everyone is with it), plus the...

Re: Favorite Freeza Form
I enjoy his second form. It's really intimidating and I think it could have been his final form if it was more streamlined.

Re: Do the Canadian-French watch French-France dubbed Dragon Ball series/movies?
I would imagine the Quebecois watched the France French dub as there aren't any confirmed Canadian French dubs. There are a ton of rumours of these dubs but none have been confirmed.

Re: How come Dr. Slump the Anime Series wasn't successful anywhere than Japan?
Dr Slump's issue is that it came way before the dub era. Of course, it was likely available in the fansub tape era, but that period of anime fandom history seems to be overshadowed and I'm not aware if Dr Slump was popular with that generation. Anyway, Dr Slump didn't really become super popular (at...

Re: I want "Dr. Slump Discussion" and "Non-DB Akira Toriyama Discussion" subforums
Well if there's enough people that have read Dr Slump and other manga or played the games, I don't see why not. The only issue is that a lot of Toriyama's other stuff is hard to get a hold of or simply nonexistent in English so a lot of us might not be familiar with the stuff, though I'd love to be.

Large has done some of these on his YouTube channel, but they're named as "Unreleased ##" instead of their actual F# names or whatever.

Re: English DB Manga in '99 NZ??
As far as I'm aware, the DB manga was not released by Viz until the early 2000s and at the very beginning it was released in expensive comic book format with 2 chapters per issue before switching to tankobon format and gaining popularity. No one here, to my knowledge, is aware of any pre-Viz English...

Re: Watching Dragon Ball with your kid(s) and their thoughts/reactions
If I ever have the luck and social skills to get a girlfriend and eventually get married I want kids to share Dragon Ball with. Before or if that happens, I've considered maybe showing it to my little cousins who are 6 and 3 whose dad grew up with DBZ as a kid and is still somewhat into it now. If t...

Re: The selfishness of the Dragonball fandom
I wonder if Toriyama could genuinely figure out a way to make, say, Yamcha relevant...without people then whining, "HE'S TOO WEAK! ITS NOT REALISTIC FOR HIM TO DO ANYTHING" But strangely, people are probably okay with Roshi being able to contend in the ToP.... and fight off Freeza soldier...

Re: What’s this tune?
I believe you're mentioning BGM I9, called "Going to Oolong's Mansion." Link is here and I'd strongly suggest looking for the music you want in this channel as well as TheZestanor's, or taking VegettoEX's advice and looking at Kenisu's page.

Re: Does anyone know the name of this Dragon Ball BGM
According to Kenisu, it is called King Gourmeth Flies Off The Handle (Movie 1). The specific number is not present because it's unreleased, and likely not played frequently since I'm unfamiliar with it.

Re: I'm Surprised After 6 DLC Packs in Xenoverse 2 There's Still No Original Dragon Ball
Well, the games in general seem to like excluding the original series, though I think a sub-story mode could work with different abilities. Maybe a whole other game focused on the original series, structured similarly to Xenoverse but more appropriate.

Re: I wish I could unsee this...
This is the most beautiful and cringy thing I've ever seen. It's like DB was made into a live action kids' show which I'm surprised hasn't been considered, now that I think of it.

Re: Yamcha Appreciation Thread
I just came to appreciate the lad so much when he showed up at the beginning of DB. I relate to him quite a bit as we're both shy, long-haired guys who get overshadowed at times. He's also got an excellent theme song.

Re: Why do westerners like Bulma x Vegeta so much?
Lots of fans in the West (especially in my age group) are folks introduced to anime with more romance, like in FMA with Ed and Winry, and sometimes crave romance in anime because it's what they know best. Plus, youth into anime are mostly lonely so we get our romance fix from the anime we watch. I'v...

Re: Filler Material
Most of the original series' filler was nice except the last 5 or so episodes. FUCK those. Gohan's filler episodes at the beginning of Z were good additions to his character and evoked genuine emotion, particularly the one where he cares for "Mr Robot" in the cave. I don't really dig the F...

Re: What if Dragon Ball characters were sent to prison?
Bulma would be pretty screwed, no question. If Mr Satan's really as weak as everyone says he is then he could face challenges and eventually somebody has to see through him.

Lots of techniques and abilities from the early days, examples being shape shifting and the majority of Piccolo's abilities, have been completely forgotten or made irrelevant.

Re: Seems Saiyans aren't the only ones who care about family
I think Videl is embarassed by Mr Satan and doesn't want to have a name that directly relates to him, which would be "Videl Satan." I'm assuming that's her name (because I think Mr Satan's name is probably Mark Satan). Or maybe she's heard of the people in the English-speaking world trigge...
