Re: DBZ: Possible crossover with Sonic?
The 2006 Sonic the Hedgehog had appropriate representation in Generations , most of the Sonic party games or spin-offs feature Silver the Hedgehog, and even Mephiles the Dark shows up in Sonic Runners . Compare that to GT , which gets shoved in Heroes all the time, and I don't really see much of a d...

Re: Official Announcement Thread & Discussion
Based on the multiple translations, it sounds more and more like Trunks is going to accidentally arrive in Super 's History(why else bring up the fact there's only enough fuel for a one-way trip?). I really, really don't want that to happen. Trunks had specific, well thought-out reasons for going ba...

Re: What aspects do you think tarnished the Dragonball brand
If you are strictly talking about financial gains, then obviously there is no other answer beyond Dragon Ball Kai ; maybe you can throw the Sparking! and Raging Blast games in there(they are the main reason video game output slowed the hell down, right?) Creatively, it's got to be the English locali...

Re: DBZ: Possible crossover with Sonic?
The second generation appeal of Sonic , I believe, is that it's essentially action-adventure Looney Tunes(if I had bothered to take that survey, Looney Tunes would have been the only one I'd hit "interested" in); notably a completely different wave of fans than the day-ones of the Genesis ...

This reminds me that both Chikao Ohtsuka and Koji Yada have left us; this exact scenario would feel so weird with new actors.Hellspawn28 wrote:If we get a crossover, I'm going to bet that it will be another two bad guys teaming up type of crossover.

Re: DBZ: Possible crossover with Sonic?
I just want to point out that Tomoya Ohtani never stopped composing music for Sonic . All he ever tweets about is Sonic Runners , and he's worked on all the "recent"(read: last ten years) games minus Sonic Boom , which is considered a spin-off series. I don't know. Both series are old and ...

Re: Is Hunter X Hunter the next DBZ blow out?
Maybe if it was on Netflix... But as others have pointed out, the conditions that allowed for DB to soar don't exist anymore. In the age of the internet, we have access to these shows before there's even an inkling of a Western release. A fan following is built in long before that, and then when som...

Re: Setups and Payoffs
Goku defeating Tao Pai Pai had immense payoffs. An opponent that Goku couldn't scratch or touch, followed by a rigorous climb up a tower thousands of feet high, and then you have Karin, who sets Tao up to think he's been super-charged by magic water, and even in the anime he's given the bad Kinto-un...

Re: Official Announcement Thread & Discussion
It's totally possible for the show to get canceled before we hit #72, but it's just not that plausible with a series this big. If we were super unlucky, a prominent cast or staff member could get caught with drugs, but I don't see that happening.

Re: Mike's Upcoming JPNS Toy Releases Thread
Chichi doesn't look that bad; it's not clear because it's the prototype and not fully colored, but it seems they've made her slightly taller or more slender than how she's depicted normally, but not too much as to not be able to tell it's child-age Chichi. Lunch and 18, however, are pretty crazy. Bl...

Re: The forum should have a "like" or "agree" feature
Not to regurgitate old news, but I feel as if people attempted to do this with penguintruth; he would say something people didn't want to hear and they would use the report-a-post function as a pseudo-"dislike" button. Implementing a direct version of that invites more of such behavior, I ...

Re: When everyone on Goku's team realized Vegeta was a bitch
Is there actually anyone on Earth that doesn't respect Vegeta? Is this a real question? The only people who would have anything close to a positive opinion on Vegeta would be Goku, Bulma, Trunks, maybe Bulma's parents, and maybe Gohan. Everyone else (correctly)finds him an asshole or are perhaps ne...

Re: How does it make any sense for Future Trunks to appear?
A significant amount of time in Trunks's future doesn't need to have passed, but I guess it will be weird if he's still putzing around at a Cell-era level; even Gohan slacking off has got to be stronger. And if it's an enemy that Cell-era Trunks has a lot of trouble with, but is still not outright k...

Re: How does it make any sense for Future Trunks to appear?
I guess the only weird thing for me would be how does the Trunks We Know and Love™ know how to get whatever Age Super is set in? Does he just randomly pick a year? I can't remember if this is outlined specifically in a guidebook, but I figured once the time machine has "found" a timeline/h...

Re: EOB or DB MINUS? Which hurt Gokuu's character more?
In EOB, Bardock is the Super Saiyan of legend No, he isn't. It's implied that he might be, but nothing is stated definitively. I feel like nobody but me read/watched this damned thing sometimes. Sometimes, I wish the special didn't exist if only to stop all the misinterpretation of the scene. Neith...

Re: Dub Freeza and the effect of Linda Young
. The same goes for whatever Kaiou says in the dub for BoG . Is Schemmel's Kaiou really so bad? It's a totally different kind of voice than the original, but if he reads accurate lines with the right feeling isn't it just as good? This is the sentiment I was trying to get across for both performanc...

Re: Dub Freeza and the effect of Linda Young
Over time I've taken up the notion that Freeza in the dub is such a drastically different character, you can't (completely)fault Young. She's terrible in the TV series proper; just like everyone else, but then you get to some video games and she starts sounding not quite as bad. I feel the same abou...

Re: Could/should FUNimation fix plot holes in their dub scri
I'm probably going to regret asking, but what "plot holes" exist in Super that could be paved away by dialog and that you wouldn't have to worry about footage contradicting it?
Oh, and my answer to the thread is a supreme "no."
