Re: People who genuinely argue the humor added in dubs "Improves the show"
The dub isn’t the show I loved but it did become what other people loved - and brought more people into the overall fan base than there likely would be otherwise. It gave more people something from this series they greatly enjoyed, potentially more than the alternative, and I can’t be anything othe...

Re: Why is "new" mainline Dragon Ball so stuck in the past?
All of our popular media is owned by giant corporations who are incapable of formulating new ideas and function only on the concept of making money by giving people more of a thing they supposedly already liked; the idea that what made that thing special can't be completely replicated is lost on the...

Re: Do you wish Dragon Ball had more diverse powers?
Dragon Ball has a wide variety of powers, it just isn't interested in using any of them. Toriyama got tired of having to think further than "big ki blast" at some point and now we've locked ourselves into a pattern where anything else is going to be considered too weak to be viable.

Re: People who genuinely argue the humor added in dubs "Improves the show"
Like most arguments in favor of dub changes, what people need to understand is that major creative decisions are not their job. That's not what dubs are for. The point of a dub is to make an audio track for another language, and bring as similar an experience across as possible. What that means can ...

Re: Can you/would you ride on Flying Nimbus?
What?
I'm just saying, wanting to be good at fighting to impress women is not really much of a sin. Like, who gives a shit. Nutty clouds with no human experience, that's who.

Re: Can you/would you ride on Flying Nimbus?
I just assumed he couldn't ride the Kinto'un because his intentions were impure i.e wanting to learn martial arts from Kame Sennin to pick up women rather than to learn martial arts to improve his mind and body. Exactly my point, that cloud is a conceited dick. There's actually zero things wrong wi...

Re: Can you/would you ride on Flying Nimbus?
The truth is, if being horny for anything ever means kinto'un judges you as impure of heart, then kinto'un is the one who is wrong. For sure Krillin should have been able to ride it.

Re: Dragon Ball Recut [COMPLETE], Dragon Ball Kai Recut [WIP, Saiyan to Cell COMPLETE], Dragon Ball Z Recut [WIP]
A DVD is not going to have artifacts from neural-net upscaling, and both the AB upscale and SoM's corrections are taken from the same Dragon Box footage.

Re: Dragon Ball Recut [COMPLETE], Dragon Ball Kai Recut [WIP, Saiyan to Cell COMPLETE], Dragon Ball Z Recut [WIP]
I'm not sure what you have to gain by linking Ajay's thread when said thread is very clear that both releases have their own strengths and weaknesses. AB has a cleaner image because of its upscaling, but this means that it's less authentic and will inevitably have artifacts. The colors pop more, but...

Re: The Current SAG AFTRA strike and dubbing
I'm not sure why we're having a thread about something that won't have a pronounced effect on Dragon Ball.
Regardless, support strikes and unions.

Enough was enough when Super Saiyan 2 was unlocked, really. Super Saiyan is a shock, more than Super Saiyan can be impressive exactly once.

Re: Ideal English Goku Voice?
I mean, if you can point me to an example I'm happy to listen. SA1 mostly gives the guy expository dialogue, and while I guess he brings across the emotion okay in SA2, that's about two scenes total, and Heroes doesn't have much to work with. I haven't listened to that audio drama, maybe he's better...

Re: How can we get to see Pan and Bra (As written by Toriyama) grow up without aging the cast too much?
Move on from what? I don't think it's so unreasonable to want to see the younger cast in more active or complicated roles without having to acknowledge the versions that suck.

Re: Ideal English Goku Voice?
I always thought that Ryan Drummond would do a really good Goku (Sonic's voice actor). I think his tone would fit him well and his voice isn't too deep nor too high, the perfect match for Goku. Besides the fact that Drummond hasn't been in that role for twenty years, I cannot name a single performa...

Re: Ideal English Goku Voice?
I dunno about that one. I like Dante Basco a lot, but I'm not sure he has the cadence for Goku. I watched that Homestuck dub he was a part of a while back, and even though the character he was voicing was comparatively low-key for that story, it still felt way outside the wheelhouse of what I've com...

Re: Ideal English Goku Voice?
What seems important to me in Goku is range. Goku is at one point or another a dimwitted hick, a confident martial arts student, a hotheaded warrior, a brokenhearted child (rarely) AND the cold fury of the Super Saiyan. Obviously I'm very used to Schemmel's performance at this point...but I'm not cr...

Re: Why exactly is everyone saying that GT has good ideas all the time?
I think "It has good ideas but bad execution" is less of a defense of GT and more an acknowledgement that GT wasn't a complete creative failure from the word Go especially when the common cliche opinion was "Lol GT sucks" I think in the current era, it absolutely is a defense. W...

Re: Why exactly is everyone saying that GT has good ideas all the time?
Yeah, but GT isn't that setting. It sucks. Thing is, I'm not sure how real "good idea"s actually are. A concept can have more or less-obvious potential, and there may be ideas that are difficult or ostensibly-impossible to execute well in some cases, but there's nothing that is good by pre...
