Re: What Bardock do you prefer?

Old Bardock and it’s not even close. There’s nothing interesting about the new one, and I think he actually hurts some of the themes presented in the show. I’m sure most of us have heard that argument a million times before, so I won’t get into it. The old Bardock didn’t care for his son because he ...

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

I heard the blue ray aint coming til december. That sucks Nah, that’s just a placeholder. The blu-ray will come out around May/June for Japan, and probably June/July for everywhere else. It took Battle of Gods and Resurrection F around 6 months to come out, so Broly will probably take around the sa...

Re: What are your top 10 favorite fights in the whole franchise?

My Top 10 1. Goku vs Majunior This will always be my favorite fight in the series. It’s got everything you want: high stakes, flashy and powerful moves, and lots of good moments. 2. Goku vs Vegeta (Saiyan arc) So much good stuff here. I really want to put it #1, but I’m a sucker for really good 1v1...

Re: What are your top 10 favorite DB films, TV specials and OVAs?

Off the top of my head: 1. DBS Broly (still need to see this subbed, I will most likely like it even more) 2. Battle of Gods 3. Bardock Special 4. DBZ Movie 12 (fusion) 5. DB Movie 3 (mystical adventure) 6. Resurrection F (don’t @ me) 7. Future Trunks Special 8. DBZ Movie 13 9. Yo Son Goku and His F...

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

One thing I found out was that in the English dub, Paragus fears that Broly will die, but in the Japanese version, he fears that HE will die because of Broly. Just a weird mistranslation. I loved the art and animation, but I wished the theater I went to would put the fucking volume up. I swear that ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super: Broly" - Animation Hub [Updated: 20/07]

The only time I felt the CGI was actually hurting the fighting was Gogeta vs Broly in that dimension thing. I really felt like they should not have made them transform during a CGI scene. The trippy dimension thing was cool, but going from Shida to FighterZ was much more jarring than the other two t...

Re: Funimation and swearing

One of the few times Funimation tried to “edge it up” a little too much was when Vegeta said “son of a bitch” in the Future Trunks arc. It felt so unnatural and forced, and like 2 episodes later, Future Mai said it too. I don’t know if they’ve since used son of a bitch or bitch again since then, but...

Re: Was Gohan meant to be perceived as a pedophile?

I was going to write a snarky response, but chose not to. No, it’s completely ludicrous to assume that Gohan was a pedophile based off of one scene (which you’re assuming a lot about) and a throw away line. This is a guy who saved an orphaned baby and took care of him, teaching him manners and marti...

I have recently learned that Toyotaro draws Piccolo with 5 fingers instead of 4. It is now confirmed that the DBS manga is canon to the DBZ anime. 100%.

Re: Old artstyle vs New Artstyle 2.0

While Yamamuro is still very much himself, it looks like he somewhat tried to use the new designs? Other than the hair, I don’t see all the crazy shiny stuff on the character’s faces. Maybe I’m just blind.

Re: ToP Arc: The Worst and most boring Arc of Super so far?

My personal feelings about the ToP arc aside, how could anyone rate this arc below Resurrection F? RF looks like literal trash, and it did VERY little to expand upon the movie version. The only new things were throwing Ginyu in the ring and killing Piccolo. Everything else was pretty much the same, ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

I’m digging the premise of this new arc. I was 100% not a fan of the manga version of the Universe Survival arc, but this arc seems like its on the right track so far. I hope this isn’t some manga “filler” arc. This should be animated when the new anime releases sometime next year.

Just saw Broly stumbling back in shock with a "uaghaah ...!" when Gogeta charges the Kame Hame-Ha. I cannot express how much I hate this. There is plenty for the Broly fans he said. No. No, there is not. Broly did a step back when Goku got the other people's energy but it was so much diff...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" FUNimation Dub Official Discussion Thread

“God of Destruction" never went away, though. I'm pretty sure it's been used in English marketing of the series. Hell, it was used in the Battle of Gods dub, wasn't it? And "Senzu" is literally short for "Senzu Bean." I don't see how they're being inconsistent with these te...

I really like the “Broly Evolves” ost. Based on all the spoilers I’ve read, it seems to fit his character perfectly. It also just plain sounds really good.

Re: Does Dragon Ball have the largest, least toxic, fandom in existence of fictional franchises?

I’d say that the fandom is more divided than it is toxic. Sub vs dub, Kikuchi vs Faulconer, power levels vs story writing, etc. A lot of this is mostly only in the English fanbase, but this division is what can lead to a lot of the toxic behavior fans have toward each other.

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

I think it’s really lame that the US is not getting subbed screenings of the Broly movie. We literally just had an entire Dragon Ball TV show in Japanese on Crunchyroll, but giving viewers two options to watch the movie? Nah, that’s too much. Dub only.

Re: Would you like to see the Dragon Ball Franchise on Netflix, (Even if it was redubbed)

No, honestly. I’d rather them put the subbed Japanese version along with whatever dub they want to appeal to all fans. If it’s only dubbed, I won’t care, even if it’s a more accurate, new redub.
