Re: "Dragon Ball Super" FUNimation Dub Official Discussion Thread

People on staff of the series being insulted is hardly new. I'm not gonna apologize for not flaming someone saying milder things than I see about Toriyama, Toyotaro or Yamamuro here on a near-daily basis, even if I don't like those things.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" FUNimation Dub Official Discussion Thread

I don't think they were judging her, just saying that having worked for an annoying company fits an annoying character's voice actress. I don't think anyone has a right to hate 4kids' cast for having been the cast of 4kids. After all, I was just talking about how much I love Mike Pollock.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super: Broly" - Animation Hub [Updated: 20/07]

Toyo does do this, all the time. More importantly though, character sheets that you tell animators to reference and straight-up action artwork for what's supposed to be a continuation of a long running manga rather than a remake (or demake, as Toyotaro's artwork usually ends up feeling like) of one....

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie Thread: "Broly"

I'm really talking about specifically implying that the film's new character and his dad murdered a member of their own race and consumed his flesh, and how that doesn't fit with either the way Toriyama writes or the fact that Broly in this film is portrayed as mostly an innocent victim, it's not a ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super: Broly" - Animation Hub [Updated: 20/07]

Well, I'd have to disagree with that. The original manga adaptation (which I say instead of "the 90s series" because GT's colors are ANUS) had way better color and character designs, and due to it's age had little digital compositing that could ruin talented animators' work like what happe...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super: Broly" - Animation Hub [Updated: 20/07]

If and when Super returns with this style and has the same level of production it had by the end of it's first run, I don't think it would be wrong to say it'll probably be the best looking Dragon Ball show of them all. Despite the character designs I'm pretty sure Super had a higher ratio of good-l...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie Thread: "Broly"

God damn it, I just realized my phone corrected "Beets" to "Beers" last night. Now it looks like I'm using an uncommon name translation and implying Broly and Paragus could kill a Destroyer.

Or maybe I'm implying they're furries, whatever

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie Thread: "Broly"

It's a very un-Toriyama approach to suddenly make Saiyans cannibalize each other and I don't think Kunzait's comparison to baby Broly getting stabbed is very apt (given that it's silhouetted, happening to a character we already know survives, and not even written by Toriyama). Moreover I think the t...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" FUNimation Dub Official Discussion Thread

Ah. Darn. Plenty of the other Sonic cast members do lots of anime dub work, but Pollock is easily my favorite out of them all, and I'd love to hear him ham it up in Dragon Ball. Though I guess Toppo was already cast so he's missed out on the truly perfect role.

Re: What is the lamest thing to come out of modern DBZ?

Uh, yeah you can. Plenty of amazing characters across all media have no personal backstory whatsoever. Nothing is a substitute for characterization and personality. That's why Jiren is still bland as hell even though he has a backstory. Cumber is fucking nothing in terms of writing because Heroes as...

Re: Kaioshin Appreciation Thread

Shin was kind of thrust into the Kaioshin position way before he was supposed to be, and it shows. I find it kind of hilarious that a big part of the reason Dragon Ball's universe and mechanics are so broken and nonsensical at points is because the absolute god is a small child, and half the people ...

I hate this tendency of attacking something in one medium and praising the same in another medium as much as the next guy, but you were just called a strawman for mischaracterizing somebody else's argument. Ya know, since that is what a strawman is? "Attacking something in one medium and prais...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

I feel like anyone who wants the TV series to start following the manga is either way more tolerant than me, or seriously forgetting just how much of a pain in the ass Z's pacing was. SSJ Goku vs. Freeza is boring as fuck in the anime, filler sagas like "fake Namek" are incredibly dumb, an...

Re: What is the lamest thing to come out of modern DBZ?

Cumber vs Xeno Vegetto is offensive, but Broly vs Gogeta is wonderful. A single man keeping up with fusion can only be made by Toriyama, everything else is nonsensical. It's just what I'm always saying: if Heroes had come up with recolors and Golden Freeza, the game would be even more bashed than i...

So you're getting on Toriyama for changing things, but claiming that in this case he hasn't changed it enough. Hm.
