Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

Despite there being little in terms of plot info, I really like what I saw. Loved the emphasis on more grounded martial arts (particularly those moments that scream Jackie Chan) and I thought the animation looked good. Nothing here that dismisses the idea that this is happening in some alternate un...

Re: "Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot" Official Discussion Thread

No way they do that. The amount of shit they’d get from it would be astronomical.


As far as Z is concerned, EoZ is holy scripture: they won’t mess with it.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 101 - Official Discussion Thread

This all supposed that there was any planning for Dragon Ball Super, which—come on we all know better.

The easy answer is: a combination of trying to make a 40 year old shounen character appeal to children and bad writing.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 101 - Official Discussion Thread

Well what the fuck do you know? This was actually a pretty decent chapter. Fun character moments! Plot progression! A year late? Sure, but it’s something.

And hey Black Freeza mention! I’m actually interested to see what happens next chapter. Good Job DBS!

Re: Will DBS end with the End of Z?

Besides, there are other stories that DBS is teasing besides Goku meeting Uub. After all, Black Frieza's still out there, and Vegeta is still waiting to go the Planet Sadala. So after Goku meets Uub, those two plot points could be the next big goalposts for Super as a whole. I just don't want Super...

Re: One Piece Remake, fans are so lucky...

What would a DB remake give us besides cutting out filler and new animation? Honestly...this is kinda where I am too. What would be the point? Especially since I think modern DB looks like shit compared to the OG, I just don't see "the same anime with a visual upgrade" all that appealing....

Re: One Piece Remake, fans are so lucky...

Here's the thing: The announcement calls this adaptation "fresh but familiar" from the anime adaptation. Ideally Netflix is doing this because a bunch of people are now interested in the anime thanks to the live-action show. If the barrier of entry for newbies is the length of the anime an...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 100 - Official Discussion Thread

I'm glad this arc is over, not because I didn't enjoy it, I really did, I'm glad it's over so people can stop complaining. I'm glad we had this retelling, it makes the manga feel more complete. They definitely enhanced a lot of elements which honestly improved on the movie. The only real nitpick I ...

Re: DragonBall Z Abridged

Now that I think about it, another good reason they haven't done Buu outside of the bits is probably because Goku stating he wanted to give Trunks & Goten a chance to fight Buu while fused undermines his character arc's conclusion at the end of the Cell Saga. No..it doesn't? This ignores a big,...

Re: DragonBall Z Abridged

Seeing Gohan giving Goku piece of his mind was so satisfying, maybe if someone did that in actual show, he wouldn't act like that with Buu, Freeza or Granolah...

Re: If faced with the choice of sacrificing the franchise's massive popularity

There's an extreme lack of self awareness when people are complaining about "toxic" dub lovers and then taking the extreme position of "wanting to sacrifice the entirety of the fandom because some people prefer the dubisms." Gatekeeping is toxic. Always has been always will, and ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 99 - Official Discussion Thread

just a reminder: The Super Hero arc started almost a year ago on December 2022.


But yes, I guess next month we'll finally get to see where DBS ends up. Do we go into the next arc, or do we go into another hiatus?

I do, since it does still air where I live. I wanted to post again to see if anyone would post in response. That was going to be my last post on the topic if no one responded but people did.

Re: When do you think the Super anime is returning? Should I read the manga while waiting for the anime?

If the Anime returns, we don't even know if they'll adapt the Manga arcs. The Anime was not an adaptation of the Manga, it was an adaptation of Toriyama's script, and Toriyama's script for the Movie blatantly ignored Moro and Granolah arcs. So why the Anime should adapt the Manga-only arcs if it re...

Re: Dragon Ball ultimate Recap

I actually think its a bit better than that. Especially since there are instances where there's some cool fight sakuga in the mix. I went in thinking this is was going to be the same old, "hurrr they power up for 5 episodes/Namek will explode in 5 min" jokes we've been hearing for ever, an...
