Personally I was not very fond of the Piccolo growing huge page. Because like... it's flipped a full 90 degrees requiring one to flip the book to see it "upright". Kinda feels a bit... "Toyotaro wanted to do a two-page spread but he was limited by page restrictions" to me. Shueis...

Yeah at this point the next chapter is clearly going to be the climax, folks. Will the arc end next month? Maybe not, it might end on the Cell Max exploding. But I don't see how Toyotaro could possibly make an entire 40 page chapter that's just Piccolo getting kicked around by Cell Max and then the ...

I mean in this day and age simulcasting is just the norm. It will certainly have an English sub release on day one, at least, which... makes it accessible to most of the world really. Heck, back when Super was airing it was if anything weird that it took them a whole year to get a simulcast going, b...

I believe it may have been because TOEI had run out of 16mm film at the time and used what they had leftover. If that is the case then I must say that's kind of amusing: "Oh no, we are out of our usual film stock! We have no choice... We have to use HIGHER QUALITY FILM!!!! " Well, I recko...

The ominous feeling Infinite Zamasu gives is unmatched. That's something you MUST call Zeno for, while an army of Zamasu... that's something still nuts, but if they were able to fuse, it would've been, at least narratively, the next step before calling your dad, and also amazing. But Toyo wanted hi...

It depends for me. Battle of Gods arc: Yeah both the manga and the TV series are bad ngl. Movie or nothing. Resurrection F arc: Does not exist in the manga, is too long and terribly animated in the show, so... Movie wins again. Universe 6 arc: Anime. Manga feels like it's just running on fast forwar...

Guys... You have been repeating the exact same points at each other in the exact same fashion with no variation for at least the last ten pages. I think at this point it's fair to say neither one of you is actually convincing the other. The difference is I have proof. Vegeta tells Goku to not hold ...

To this day Toei is still playing it fast and loose with continuity of movies like these. Like, they all seem to assume the characters' personalities and capabilities are exactly what they would be in the show at that point, but also just disregard any ongoing plotlines that may be happening. Which ...

The only thing I have been worried is, what if fans don't like it and it flops like the super hero movie? Super Hero flopped? News to me. It didn't. It sold less than Broly, yes, but it still performed better than every other Dragon Ball movie. For what was clearly more of an experimental movie tha...

For whatever reason the old Norwegian translation of the manga also claimed that Goku and his friends were "Group Z" in the Cell arc. Which I would assume came from the German release like so much else of the weird nonsense in that release, but don't quote me on that. When it comes to Kai,...

I think back to the start of DBS and how obviously not well Yanami was. It was outright uncomfortable to listen to what really kind of felt like the man was literally dying in the recording booth . I would really rather not have that happen again. Hearing the voice we all know and love isn't really ...

Once again, can anyone else check their Dragon Box 7 to see if it's a little taller than the others? I got one reply confirming this already, but another wouldn't hurt either. Really want to make sure I don't have bootlegs, especially when I'm about to pay them off after four split payments. Mine i...

Oda would bring in every single one of Goku's friends, past and present, and at least 20 distinct named new ally characters, and have the Big Bad come in with a full army of distinct minions so that every single one of them would get a one-on-one fight. The arc would become the longest arc in Dragon...

...So. Dragon Ball. Personally the point where it hooked me was Goku's training with the Turtle Sage. Which, in the manga, is volume 3, like, 28 chapters in or so. I had previously tried to read the first two volumes but couldn't really get into them, then at one point during a family vacation I pic...

There's something really nostalgic about the Dragon Boxes. Like they don't hide the series' age. I like that. The colors and audio--they're just the best preservation of an old series without it being like a 40-year-old going to college parties. Thing is though, both the colors and audio of the Dra...

I don't even think Wano is a fair comparison. Namek personifies the best Dragon Ball has to offer, Wano is the absolute worst One Piece has ever been. Also, who is comparing Namek to Wano? I definitely agree that Wano is way worse than Namek, lol Wow, and I thought the Dressrosa arc had some writin...

I've heard about people saying it nosedives after Gokuu beats Frieza but never heard about people disliking it from the moment he arrives on Namek. Why do you feel this way? Do you dislike the Freeza fight? (Which does have emotional stakes) I'm obviously not Julie, but during my most recent re-rea...

The thing with the audio is, it was the best audio that Toei had access to. The problem was that they literally wiped the source recordings, leaving only lower-quality copies that have deteriorated over time. And back in 2003, those original broadcast recordings did not seem to be very well known at...

Short answer is... they just don't. Toriyama forgot they existed and unwittingly retconned the lore he had established. Didn't he also in 2013-ish introduce some new backstory for the Kaioshin that was completely at odds with the manga, too? And then later the whole "They are tied to the Gods o...
