I believe in Japan a work enters public domain seventy (70) years after the death of the author.
Oy vey, what a weird conversation to be having so soon after his death. :/

Re: Dragon Ball Without Its Creator
The problem has lied in that Dragon Ball has always been a work of a series creator who didn't really have a dedicated passion for writing, and corporate suits. It's rare that it has been allowed a moment to be told by a creator unencumbered by something . I think that Nagamine's Movie #20 was the c...

Re: Dragon Ball Without Its Creator
Now that I've had some time to process Toriyama's passing, I do have some concerns about the future. My suspicion is that Iyoku Akio will chase the ambulance until the cows come home—which is to say, I think he'll want to keep franchising the series out, which was the reason he formed Capsule Corp T...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
Toriyama owned Dragon Ball and as creator was the ultimate authority figure. If I had to guess, one of his kids will become the steward of the franchise from here on out.
That being said, I don't really think that this is the time for this conversation.

Hey, welcome back! Sad it had to be under these circumstances.
But yeah, if there's an afterlife, I hope Toriyama fiddling with his model kits right now.

Re: Your watching experience on Toonami
Ooh, yeah, I also watched the Afterlife Tournament arc on The International Channel and some of the Majin Buu arc. It was so surreal, because my actual first exposure was a shitty fansub download of the episode where Trunks fights that one dipshit in the Tenka-ichi Budoukai that I downloaded via Nap...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 102 - Official Discussion Thread
Well, no, I'm talking about what's necessary. Dragon Ball is a complete story. Nothing in Super was/is necessary; it's effectively a side-story taking place during a timeskip in Dragon Ball's story. It is the Optional Comedic Sequel™. It going on longer than the original run (or having someone's ab...

Re: Your watching experience on Toonami
I recall in my days as a younger girl first coming across Dragon Ball Z when it was airing on Toonami in either October or November of 1998. I specifically remember the first episode I watched being the one where Vegeta was killing the Namekians with the Reigun from Yuu Yuu Hakusho . At the time I w...

Re: unpopular opinion: kenji yammoto should have never got fired
Copyright law, as is the way with most if not all laws, exists to protect the wealthiest above all else. Yamamoto Kenji's crime wasn't harming the average Jane, it was 'harming' those with more money than him, and for that he was judged and excommunicated.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 102 - Official Discussion Thread
The major issue being, I think, is that Toriyama is obssessed with setting up rules for handicapping himself with the types of stories he'll tell, and Toyo-tarou, Victory Uchida, and anyone else involved with the franchise, refuses to actually think about breaking those rules. Like, literally, anyon...

They should've had Goten and Trunks just fight separately, this would have been a far better time to actually build on their characterization. Instead, we got...more dumb shit. When do Goten and Trunks do the version of fusion that turns them into girls for the rest of the franchise? Luckily never. ...

Re: What are the worst Dragonball hot takes you've ever heard?
Just to clarify, while I really do enjoy the new take on Broli in Movie #20, I really don't think it would have hit as hard without the excellent work bringing him to life that Nagamine and the various key animators did. That movie is less a Broli movie and more a movie about the animation staff get...

Here is one, DBS Anime Goku isn't worse that DB/DBZ Goku in anyway at all. DBS Goku the same as DB/DBZ, there is no difference. I have seen people mention that before. There are plent of evidence that isn't true at all. On a similar note to this: "But this is the Goku Toriyama always envisione...

Re: The end of era: Sony discontinues the Funimation brand on April 2
I would argue that the Pokemon TV anime (plural) is not only technically better than the Dragon Ball TV anime (plural), but it is sub-culturally more important. The contribution to the franchise by its various staff since 1997 has made it a technical achievement, and a storytelling achievement throu...

Technically he does love himself, he even fuse with himself. Can't exactly get closer than that.
