Re: Team Four Star's influence on Dragon Ball's revival

The video games, 2008 special reception and the like did way more for the DB revival than TFS. That notion is embarrassing in its America centrism.

Re: Team Four Star's influence on Dragon Ball's revival

It certainly made people push jokes from a parody series into their reading of the actual show. I think that's unfair. TFS's jokes were already memes throughout much of the DB community. Yamcha is a loser, Krillin dies all the time, Goku is a lousy father, and disdain for power levels all predate T...

Re: Boycotting DB related company - did you do it?

So apparently Funimation’s comments are taking a pummeling at this time due to the butthurt this whole controversy caused. I was watching the FighterZ season 3 trailer and almost all the comments were fans pissy that their porn show was cancelled. I hate that all the criticism just got the perfect ...

Re: Boycotting DB related company - did you do it?

I'll admit I never heard of this anime until now, hearing that a piece of media is vanishing or potentially vanishing from the web does admittedly get me to rush to see it sometimes. However i'm not getting that urge here, i'm sure the dub will live on at the many Hentai anime unofficial streaming ...

Re: A couple or one sided romance?

Maybe they're friends who occassionally throw each other a bone during a dry spell? They're women-loving-women but not actually in a relationship? What? Why are you taking the extra and unnecessary step of just erasing the possibility of two women--whom you deem women-loving-women--being in a relat...

Re: Boycotting DB related company - did you do it?

But...why does anybody care about MAL rankings? I don't understand. So what if people like a show somebody else doesn't like? Because they aren’t ranking it in good faith. They just want it on the top to “own the libs” and fight against PC culture. Most of these people didn’t care about the show un...

Re: Boycotting DB related company - did you do it?

So in an update to this mess, not only FUNimation dropped the show, but also Amazon Prime and Tokyo MX channel as well. AnimeLab is also saying upcoming episodes are going to be delayed due to "adjusting its source material" as they put it. Guess this was too problematic beyond just FUNim...

Re: Thoughts on a potential Netflix series.

This thread has reinforced my belief that, if a new live action DB movie NEEDS to be made, I don’t want anyone in the (US/English speaking) west to have ANY involvement.

Re: Vic Mignogna

Vic Mignogna is a scumbag. I've seen him inappropriately touch underaged cosplayers at Youmacon in person at photo ops. When it came time for me, a guy, to take a photo with him. He wouldn't even put his hand on my shoulder. Funny how he stops being handsy around his male fans. Saw him one other ti...

Re: Boycotting DB related company - did you do it?

But was it really FUNimation's fault for not knowing the kind of show this was or the anime studio's fault for ramping up the sexual content in comparison to the source material? That’s a fair point, I guess. I guess I’d prefer it if these companies were more selective in what they licensed. This i...

Re: Boycotting DB related company - did you do it?

I’m surprised Sentai weren’t the ones to nab this series. It seems more in line with things like Monster Musume or that Qwaser show that... made me really uncomfortable. They seem to have little to NO shame! :lol: Though, thinking it over, I wonder if Funi only licensed it in a bundle with some othe...

Re: Boycotting DB related company - did you do it?

This isn’t the first time Funimation shot themselves in the foot by licensing a title without doing the proper research. As I recall, they were in a bit of hot water with Dance in the Vampire Bund.

Re: Boycotting DB related company - did you do it?

A friend of mine told me what kind of shit is in Ishuzoku Reviewers, and... Well... I mean, it looks like straight up thinly-veiled hentai, with loli shit. Nothing of value has been lost. And that's why I can't take this situation seriously. The anime community is in uproar... over what is basicall...

Re: Editing of painfully-outdated LGBT+ content in future DB(Z) releases?

There's a lot of inane bits of comedy throughout the series that don't enhance the product or actually make the audience laugh. ChiChi the shrieking banshee filler, Roshi the sex offender filler, Krillin the eternal loser filler. All of that stuff should be trimmed down and removed because, and be ...

Re: Editing of painfully-outdated LGBT+ content in future DB(Z) releases?

I personally feel that if anyone thinks the series should be retroactively censored, that they automatically forfeit any right to complain about all of the censorship that the franchise has been through in the past and now present with Toei's butchered movie releases. Even if times change and socie...
