Re: Toxic Debate in the DBS Fanbase

I myself find it easier to avoid confrontations anywhere by acting civilized and rational, or not even participating at all, than to not look like a moron in an argument that goes nowhere. I could have many times just jumped in on random posts to obnoxiously preach on my different stances on the sho...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie Thread: "Broly"

Some things are similar, some things are different. The new art style will take me some time to get used to like with modern Yamamuro's, but it's not bad. Just make the movie entertaining but not stupid.

Re: Funi's renaming of the Z movies have caused this issue...

Honestly I prefer Funimation's naming scheme of deciding on the subtitle AFTER the script has been finished, as opposed to Toei's approach being the exact opposite and giving us very generic titles that sometimes just barely relate to the picture itself (like Mystical Adventure). I agree, plus it g...

Re: Do you feel like the "adventure" in DB has been missing a bit from Super?

Yes. I don't recall the anyone in the show going on an exploration asides from Beerus who sought for the super saiyan god, Bulma and Jaco who looked for Zuno in space, and Vegeta and Jaco who traveled to Potaufeu to look for Goten and Trunks. In most cases, we often saw characters already getting to...

Re: Would you like to see a spin off series with Universe 6?

If it ends with all of them assassinated by Hit, then yes. Here's a potential story:

Kale could be placed a bounty on her, Hit kills her, and Broly will lend Hit a fortune that he secretly stole from Paragus. Then Champa erases Hit for destroying life better than him.

Re: Official "Super DB Heroes 2018 Promotional Anime" Discussion Thread

It was some mindless fun. I don't expect the writing to be any good considering what it is promoting, and since it's not canon, anything can happen and I won't care. Just in for the spectacle.

Re: Future Trunks Arc vs Universal Survival Arc

The future saga, simply out of it being a story. The downsides were the mood whiplashes, the art and animation at times, some narrative issues, and that the story generally took a nosedive since the end of episode 61. At least its characters and their interactions were memorable, the new soundtrack ...

Re: Would you have liked to see Paikuhan/Pikkon in the Universe Survival Arc?

Yes I would have liked to see him instead of 17. I think he is one character that should be more official. The thing is, we already got Piccolo. That's like saying you'd prefer to have Cooler in than Android 17. Derivative characters are superfluous, redundant. The fact that the writers thus far ha...

Re: Did you like Goku Black versus SSJ/2 Goku and the latter against Zamasu?

I did like SSJ2 Goku vs. Goku Black. It was a fun little fight that further made Black seem mysterious. I didn't like SSJ2 Goku vs. Zamasu, though, but that was due to Goku's childish personality the whole episode.

Re: Significance of Piccolo in the first official images from 2018 DBS movie

I learnt to not be hyped by images or teasers of an upcoming film, so I don't expect Piccolo to be significant in the Super movie at all. To me, in most movies, he's always been one of the guys to take part in defeating the villain's squad before getting tormented by the villain. Nothing too special.

Re: Would you watch a "slice of life" Dragon Ball series?

I would. For me, it's what Super did the best, though I would certainly miss the elements of action and story since that's what the series was built upon, unless the slice of life stuff tell good stories such as Tights and Jaco.

As much as I wish Piccolo to be given more prominence by powering him up and featuring him in important solo fights, I don't count on neither Toei nor Toyotaro to give him that much importance, unless they somehow pull an Android 17.

Re: Difference between the Battle of God's movie and anime!?

I recall that in the extended version of the theatrical film, Oolong had a rock-paper-scissors match with Beerus and lost. This was not shown in theaters but was included in the anime, though.
