Re: How would you rewrite Dragon Ball Super?

My rewrite of Super includes the following 1.Put more of an emphasis on Majin Boo being a major player in the story, and not falling asleep all the time 2.Take Freeza completely out of the story as he shouldn't be there at all. He ran his course in Dragon Ball Z and when Trunks cleaved him in two an...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions

Apparently its unpopular to think that the Majin Boo arc is good. I love almost everything about this arc. The ending leaves a bit to be desired but it does serve a great function of Goku finally showing that he has become the very best and has taken on a new role as a mentor to teach others, as he ...

Re: Sasuke Toriyama taking over after Akira Toriyama?

Yes, however, Christopher Tolkien did an amazing job continuing his fathers legacy and expanding upon the wealth of knowledge by working to compile and edit new material to add to The Hobbit/Lord of the rings mythos. I think that as long as he loves and has an understanding of the series, it could ...

Re: Your opinion of Norihito Sumitomo

His Battle of Gods and Ressurection of F score are mediocre. His score for the Majin Boo Arc for Dragon Ball Kai is solid and has some great tracks, a lot of which are re-used in Super(Yes i'm aware that some of the Kai tracks were from BOG too) His score for Super was pretty awful for a good while ...

Re: Your Dream Composer

Yoshihisa Hirano who did the Hunter x Hunter (2011) Soundtrack. This is one of the most incredible soundtracks in anime and I daresay possibly the best anime soundtrack of all time. YES I SAID IT. It even eclipses Kikuchi's Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z scores at times. If Yoshihisa Hirano could rep...

4:3 Re-edit of Boo Kai when Toei eventually Remasters Dragon Ball Z in HD.

Hopefully one day when the stars align, there will be a complete HD restoration of Dragon Ball, DBZ, and DBGT in HD. When that day comes, those niche fans of Kai I know will make an edit of Boo Kai with the newly restored 4:3 DBZ footage. I know that this will happen one day, but until then, we can ...

Re: Does Roshi legally own the land his island is on? Does he pay rent?

I always wondered if Roshi legally owned the land his island is on, or just randomly built a house there on his own. Did he officially purchase the land from whatever province its located in? Does he pay rent/mortgage for the house? In real life you can't just claim an island, let's say off the bah...

Re: Shunsuke Kikuchi vs other Contemporary Japanese Composers

I don't have any knowledge of contemporary Japanese composers, but if Kikuchi is a one-trick pony, then he was one hell of a one trick-pony. From the Red Ribbon Army saga and onward, he composed some of my absolute favorite tracks. I cannot believe the blasphemy I am hearing on this thread!!!! Kiku...

Re: Has Toriyama lost his touch?

After the mess that is DragonBall Super you have to wonder if and when Toriyama lost his touch. Flanderization of characters, no sense of stakes or progression and weak cop-out endings (Resurrection F) are just a handful of the problems the current product has. I get why TOEI want his name involved...

Re: Absurdities of claiming that canon does not exist

I find it annoying to treat canon in the case of Dragon Ball as if it doesn't exist (because the creator never pronounced the word and didn't explicitly say what is canon and what isn't), because saying there is no canon and you don't need to care is tantamount to a mess. A simple example Someone a...

Re: Sasuke Toriyama taking over after Akira Toriyama?

The idea of Toriyama's family member carrying over the story may not always be a good idea. Bram Stoker's great-grandnephew Dacre Stoker wrote a official sequel to Dracula and look how that turn out. Yes, however, Christopher Tolkien did an amazing job continuing his fathers legacy and expanding up...
