Re: So why Shenron gave Piccolo a bonus transformation?
I think he simply did it in honor of Kami, who (as part of Piccolo) was making the wish.

Re: General Website Goofs/Errors
So it is. I didn't check it since yesterday, so I thought it was still unavailable.
All good now.

Re: General Website Goofs/Errors
Any plans on bringing back the dark theme option? Even if just like the previous one?

Re: General Website Goofs/Errors
I, for one like, the dark mode as it is. I was a dark mode user before the update, but this is much better than the previous one.
Restoring the user info to the left would be nice though.

Re: Fillers in Dragon Ball Super
I would call filler anything that was created to fill time for the development of the story arcs that Toriyama provided, which is the only source material for Super.

I think it's simply the difference between sculptors.

Re: Episode #0494 (27 November 2022)
I honestly had a knee-jerk reaction to the character of Granolah and even Merus before it. They look like blatant derivations of Future Trunks, both in design and demeanor. At least they fit in the Dragon Ball aesthetic, something that can't be said about many non-Toriyama designed characters.

It was the original DB anime, when it started airing in my country back in 1995.

Is it me, or is it slightly vertically stretched? Or is it correct and the JP DVD is horizontally stretched? The person who posted the DBOX shots there didn't capture them in their display aspect ratio, instead he used their storage resolution. They're the same when displayed correctly - https://im...

Re: Crunchyroll re-releasing Dragon Ball GT on DVD in February 2023
There are a couple oddities with this. The packaging says 16:9 but surely this is the same 4:3 master as the green bricks. If Crunchyroll is going to add their own logos, then the DVDs will need to be re-authored. And if that's the case, maybe they have encoded the DVDs in 16:9, while keeping the 4...

Re: Why isn’t Toriyama’s designs being shown anymore?
Perhaps there actually aren't any Toriyama designs and is his part behind the scenes more limited than we think. No, it's been confirmed that he contributed with plenty of designs and illustrations, but they have been very coy about showing them. They've revealed these Toriyama designs so far: http...

Re: Do you prefer the idea Saiyans are pure evil or generally redeemable?
Then again, it's not my fault. We don't have a single image of a Saiyan scientist doing something. All we have are Tsufurujins and King Cold's race in the picture, so I've always been led to think Saiyans used their technologies. They do use other people's technologies. That doesn't mean they don't...

Re: Do you prefer the idea Saiyans are pure evil or generally redeemable?
This is supported by Bardock himself, who says that before King Cold appeared, they were already conquering planets (though we still don't know how they did that. Are we supposed to assume there are Saiyan scientists or something?). Yes, they were not cavemen: While their science isn’t all that adv...

Re: Do you prefer the idea Saiyans are pure evil or generally redeemable?
I don't think of the Saiyans as pure evil and it never crossed my mind that they were irredeemable or incapable of kindness and compassion. They are generally cold, amoral, agressive and not very bright. It's the result of the culture and environment they developed for themselves and are raised on. ...
