I don't think VegettoEX is some untouchable saint or anything but this thread is still really fucking funny. Oh no, us dubbies are so oppressed. That's why the only ones who get in trouble are the guys who can never be normal about it. Must be because they like the dub, obviously. I get banned here ...

The version of the show used in the 30th BDs was fine before they smeared all the grain off and gamma-blasted it to oblivion. The problem is that they only have to release the show with decent-looking footage once, and they want to be able to hold that carrot-on-a-stick over fans' heads until the su...

This is kind of a weird thread to make, I'm not so sure it's a good idea. I feel like a more general "people you wish could do something for DB" thread could encompass the idea fine without the questionable stipulation of said people being dead.

I'm pretty sure the only thing Toriyama regrets doing is stuff that increased the workload of writing and drawing the series. He absolutely does not give a fuck about the implications of anything he's made, I think.

The thing is, you can say "geeks need to accept change" all you want, but I honestly think in abstract it's okay to want art to appeal to your comfort zone. Especially in an ongoing series that doesn't hard-reboot all the time, consistency is a value people care about a lot. Voice doubles ...

This is what their discord says currently.

I feel like we've heard a couple times now that he's waiting to get color-corrected footage to use.

Dragon Ball only is the big weird thing that it is because its fundamentally based in being a comedy series that featured martial arts, which transitioned into more action fare as a matter of course. I don't think most of the suggested manga and anime quite fit as spiritual successors because they'r...

I'm not sick of Goku, and to be honest, I don't think anyone else is either. What I am (and I think many other people are) sick of is the production staff behind Dragon Ball having no particular idea what they want from the series. Goku is not so much a consistent character as the thing they cling t...

The stories are just not analogues. People love to bring up Sonic since it takes some superficial stuff from Dragon Ball, but it's fundamentally a very different story. Sonic's themes relate to freedom as much for oneself as for others, and an innate curiosity for the world and its many cultures, wi...

I'm not saying political disinformation isn't an issue but I'm not seeing those AI fool anyone with an IQ higher than Majorie Taylor Greene

I got bad news for you about which people have outsized influence in most countries.

I'll make it creepier for you. For now these are stand alone products but the expectation is that these will be combined in the future. Basically you could just give a prompt to, for example, have Joe Biden give a speech on Zelda games and out comes a deepfaked video including realistic voice actin...

Gosh, is it really that hard for you to understand? Of course that most left-wingers and right-wingers don't like each other. All I'm saying is that if right-wingers were in favor of stuff like universal healthcare, LGBT rights and pro-abortion, then left-wingers like yourself would tolerate them, ...

I dunno, I kinda like the ice cave. The whole poison super water thing was always bullshit so having there be some aspect of earning it is kind of an inherently good thing.

Even if an AI can sound "accurate", that's never going to be the same thing as actually giving a good performance, and these clips do a good job of showing just how far off a voice can be taken when it's fed clips of one language and forced to interpolate them to another. They have the ton...

Do you... do you think people with different political views can't get along somehow? Who is "people with different political views"? Augusto Pinochet? Jerry Seinfeld? George Soros? My mom? This is a supremely silly question that I shouldn't have to answer. Yeah, of course people can leav...

Of course, they always deal with people with disagree with them. It's politics we're talking about here. That's exactly my point. Left-wingers would only like the right if it was like the left, basically another left. I'm still not seeing your point here. Both sides essentially want the other to no...

I always get the feeling that left-wingers would only tolerate right-wingers if they agreed them with on everything. What is this even supposed to mean? If a right-winger agreed with the left on everything, they wouldn't be right-wing. Are you suggesting leftists never deal with people who even rem...

I dunno, I think you could make the argument that there is a degree of elitism among white leftists, especially middle and upper class social media types, your Vaushes and Hasans and what have you. Just look at how the right is often depicted as low-class, uneducated rednecks, or the persisting idea...
