What is dipshit?

I mean define weeb. These days isn't that just a name for anime fans used ironically?

Occam's razor dictates the simplest answer is often the truth, since it requires the fewest uncertain assumptions. In this case, I'd argue it's far simpler to assume they mixed Z basically everything from Z movie 3 onwards in stereo in case they want to use that music in stereo for any purpose in f...

. Why would they "waste their time" mixing ANY of the music in stereo before Z movie 13? Especially as early as the first DB TV session, where they didn't know if the show would be a hit, and the first BGM releases were YEARS away. The first BGM release came out within two months of the f...

Could you give an example of a mono track on the DB bgm collection CD/LP? I haven’t listened in a while but I usually can notice if it switched from stereo to mono and back again. How do you know that the tracks we don’t have in stereo were ever mixed in stereo? Why would they waste their time like ...

In theory, they could dig out the original dialogue and SFX tracks, then get the original stereo music recordings, edit them to match how they are in the movie, and in theory, they could create some very nice stereo remixes of all the movies. Such things (stereo masters of most of the Kikuchi score...

I appreciate that you try to make people give more nuanced responses, I guess, but real talk man: do you ever agree with anything lol?

Anyway that’s not what I was talking about. I wasn’t trying to judge the author’s work: I was judging the author. He declined to write an ending. It just ends.

The intention of the author is important when there is a question of giving the author praise. See Vijay’s “mature decision” quip.

. The whole point is Goku will continue to seek out more mountains to climb. I don’t think this is bad interpretation of Dragon Ball as a work of fiction for fiction’s sake. However, Toriyama was not consciously utilizing grand themes in his work. Therefore he doesn’t get off the hook for not writin...

It’s safe because the worst possible criticism he could get is “I liked the story but I wish felt more like an ending.”

They used VHS footage at the start. Is that from a fansub (lol illegal wtf?) or did they bake their footage onto VHS to make it look old?

Looking at it now, felt it was one of the mature decision Toriyama has taken considered how it lies perfectly within context of Goku's journey as student-to-teacher coming full circle, preparing new next-gen fighter Uub & ultimately Vegeta's realization on Goku's true intention as Goku's feelin...

One thing I've always wondered is why Toei decided to have another time skip for GT, rather than continuing right after Z left off. We literally just had a 10 year time skip, so why age the characters another 5 years on top of that? EoZ is literally the briefest period of the entire franchise, last...

I asked this question about a year ago regarding revving up for GT at the end of Z and most people said that EoZ shows no signs of deviating from the manga in order to hype GT. The party episode (which... somehow I think I’ve never seen) is filler but I think it’s supposed to be “fanservice” and not...

Despite Shonen in Japan being aimed at kids, it seems like the standards of what's appropriate for kids in NA are very different from that of Japan. Television watching habits were/are different as well. TV as babysitter is an American concept; there is a difference between what is appropriate to w...

I guess the arrangements of the DB opening song count as a character theme for Goku. Piccolo's is unique because that particular batch of music was ordered specifically for the Piccolo Daimao arc. The first half of the Red Ribbon was very military themed (I don't know how to describe it) but there w...

720x540 is basically good enough; it’s only 2.3% wider than it should be, and that’s assuming the Dragon Boxes have 10:11 pixels. I don’t think the GT Dboxes have black bars, do they?

Here is an indepth guide

Now THAT is a webpage I haven’t visited in like 8 years. Thanks for the link; I think a link on DaizEx brought me there the first time.

Pan's insistence to visit M2 is a result of Giru saving her life. That's the difference in their relationship before and after this episode. Pan is seriously hurt by Giru's apparent defection and the scene flashes back to the desert episode to emphasize this. Goku and Pan had stopped viewing her as ...

Pan hates Giru → Pan loves Giru Without this the M2 arc is stupid. Goku and Trunks viewed Pan as a nuisance to the mission at the start, and they would have turned the ship around immediately if she hadn't stolen the key. In this episode, they finally change their minds. At the end Trunks calls Pan ...
