Re: DB honorifics compilation?
Did I hear that Freeza and Trunks use Keigo? Trunks is at least a desu/masu guy iirc. Right?

Re: Download the unreleased Kikuchi tracks here
Yep, I’m pretty sure you’re exactly right. I never changed it because meh, lol.
It’s great that this is being documented on the wiki.

Re: Download the unreleased Kikuchi tracks here
The sax melody seems to be Kikuchi, since there are two variants of it, and the main variant clocks in at one minute, like most of his DB tracks. The possibly irrelevant music on episode 2: to be honest I totally skipped over it from the start (December 2013) and since that would have been in the ve...

The role should go to the best audition.

Re: DB and Nostalgia
I have nostalgia for the OG dub actually, even though I can’t really enjoy watching it because the performances are usually mediocre.
I’m defining nostalgia, I suppose, as the experience of having vivid memories triggered by something, and remembering associated things from the same time.

Re: The hills we choose to die on and the fights we battle for when it comes to Dragon Ball
My hill to die on: “Piracy” is the inevitable result of crappy and overpriced home releases and increased internet download speeds. It is a spontaneous thing, not a malicious one. Big corporations need to factor it into their business model instead of pretending there’s a way to make it go away. Als...

Re: Color Correcting the Dragon Box - 3 Part Spectacular
Ah, very nice. Though, that last one is a reminder that the cel colors were never intended to be the colors. They often used red lines which appear brown or black on film.

Re: Is it fair to say that Dragon Ball is no longer marketed to kids in North America?
It's plenty easy to make psychological judgments based off of the discussions we have on forums. It's why it's so frustrating for me, a queer gal, to post on a forum where people think the Ess-Jay-Dubyas are coming to ruin their shitty Japanese children's cartoon, where people think real experience...

Re: Is it fair to say that Dragon Ball is no longer marketed to kids in North America?
Yeah so at @Kunzait I disagree with your point of view almost down to the letter, and I’m not even that in to TV/media. I’m not much of a reader either, though I wish I were, so I’m not holding myself up on a pedestal or anything. Here’s what you are doing, from my perspective. Because of your appar...

Re: Color Correcting the Dragon Box - 3 Part Spectacular
Not sure about any digital cleanup. I don't think they'd bother with the effort it would take to do for hundreds or thousands of cels. I think that they just did a quick and clean high-res scan before returning them to whatever vault these cels are archived. Perhaps the cels are just in immaculate ...

Re: Is it fair to say that Dragon Ball is no longer marketed to kids in North America?
Once again, and I know I'm a broken record about this, but I think its long been beyond clear and fair to say that most of this forum as a broader collective has mostly ZERO clue how to engage with or judge a work that ISN'T made for children in any way, and most of this community simply doesn't fu...

Re: Color Correcting the Dragon Box - 3 Part Spectacular
Dang. The process of photography somehow adds a lot of depth to those otherwise flat looking cels. I got that seem feeling too. Maybe it's the background? The colors? Or maybe just that we aren't used to seeing these particular frames of animation in such clarity and quality that's throwing us off?...

Re: "You're a Weeb"
Otaku as we use it in the west really ignores the content of its coinage so I always shirk when I see it used in the western fandom. The fundamental attribute of an Otaku--going by Saitou Tamaki's analysis--is the ability to orgasm to an anime character. To experience romantic attraction to them. I...
