Ditto. I'm enjoying the hell out of the DBS manga so as long as Toriyama still enjoys writing it I'll stick with it.

Re: Viz & The Dragon Ball Manga
I understand why they separated the two at first even though I don't agree with it. But I always tell people that the 3-in1 red cover editions are the way to go. They're the least censored versions and they're the only English release to contain the proper chapter numbers.

YAJIROBE! Growing up as a fat kid (and only just starting to realize that I was into chubby and muscular dudes :p ) I always thought he was such a badass. Seeing a fat character who got to be a badass even though he was the but of a lot of jokes made him really stand out to me. His fight against Cym...

Re: The Prejudice Against Digital Animation 2:The evolution.
Sadly we're never going to see cels and film used again because in this day and age it's just not practical. But there is definitely a quality to cel animation that simply can't be replicated with filters. I think Studio Ghibli probably had the smoothest transition to digital because so many of thei...

Re: Is Toriyama lazy?
The dude had two massive back-to-back hits that he had to produce weekly for nearly 15 years while doing freelance illustration, producing one-shots, and designing all of the Dragon Quest characters. Also he started all of this IN HIS 20's!! So no, he's not lazy. He's busy.

Re: WIth Pokemon Live Action a thing, maybe a serious Live Action DB Series could work...
Dragon Ball will NEVER work in live-action. Not everything needs live-action treatment. I'd rather see them put those resources into a high quality animated movie.

Re: I'm done with the dub
Given the choice I've been sub only since the 90's. But as for physical media. I'm getting there. Between the Broly movie having that horrible tint, Super having the credits replaced, and now the announcement that they're going to use dub names in the subtitles, I don't think it's even worth collect...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I definitely think the Future Trunks arc was handled better even though I still think it would have been much better if... Black had switched bodies with Goten instead of Goku. Going a bit further, I think it would've been better if Black actually was Goten, but just kidnapped or taken by Zamasu as...

Re: Things you wish Toriyama never said (about characters or story)
You know, I really thought about it and I can't think of anything that he's specifically stated. I've just come to accept the story as it is. I mean, given the sheer workload Toriyama had during the manga's original run (freelance illustration, one-shot stories, designing all of the characters for t...

Re: Are Tien and Chiaotzu a romantic couple?
Tien is a monk (who are suppose to be asexual depending on the religion), but he way he completely disregards Launch yet is overly concerned with Chiaotzu does make it plausible that he's gay. Tien is not gay, period. If anything Tenshinhan's probably asexual but either way, their love for each oth...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Objectively speaking, even though I fanboyed the fuck out during most of the anime especially during the Tournament of Power, I think the Dragon Ball Super manga is definitely superior. Perhaps it's because Toyotaro works closer with Toriyama than the anime writing staff do, or perhaps it's because ...

Re: It’s time for fans to come together and remaster the series properly.
I don't know about crowdfunding for this type of thing. To my knowledge the people behind Star Wars Despecialized didn't make any money off that project. It was pure passion. As for Toei stopping it though, I doubt it. It technically doesn't violate copyright.

My most recent purchase was the new movie. But it's also my most recent refund because I refuse to pay for a defective video transfer with incorrect subs.

Green tint, bad subs, English theme song only? Yeah, I'm done. I'm sending my copy back. Give me a call when Toei learns how to spell "4K."

Re: English Movie Titles - TOEI Vs. FUNimation
I can understand why they changed the titles because they needed something that sounds more marketable. What really bothers me is when they not only don't display the proper title when you play the films in Japanese, but they straight up cover or replace the titles. I don't like pointless edits in m...

As far as I know, there is no “I’m a primary fan of the Japanese version, but I wish they used the English dub names in the subs” demographic. As much as I'm not defending this and absolutely hate this decision...you'd be surprised. I personally know several people who, after 131 episodes of Super ...

The real confusing part is who are they doing this for? What demographic are they trying to please? As far as I know, there is no “I’m a primary fan of the Japanese version, but I wish they used the English dub names in the subs” demographic. 99% of actual dub fans will not watch it subbed, or if t...

Re: Funimations 30th anniversary collectible home video release
In regards to using the dub names, I wish it didn't bother me so much but it absolutely does. I don't watch the dub so I shouldn't be subjected to it's changes. They're not making much of a case against piracy here but then again that was the case with the theatrical release as well, because at leas...

Re: Funimations 30th anniversary collectible home video release
I'm now confused by this counter... It says units remaining 2918/6000 so one assumes it's 2918 left, however the counter is going up not down... Not the first time I've seen that. Either it's cancellations (hopefully) or it's buggy (most likely). Maybe a bunch of people cancelled when they realized...
