Re: The CW's ratings have officially reached rock bottom.

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. I wanted to show that while I am bitter about the whole cancelation thing I am glad they are turning things ...

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...

I swear to god if they make Diama officially the next Super story arch…I might be done with this series as a whole.


I mean I know I’m lying, but I’ll be slightly upset. Peeved even.

Re: Super and the narutoification of Dragon Ball (or why the meditation line actually matters)

Having BoG after the timeskip means losing most of the cast, since they're old and retired. Who exactly? Krillin, 18, Tien and Yamcha all can still fight even post EoZ. Bulma would still be a smart scientist, now smarter than ever with age, much like her Future-self. And we would gain the addition ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 98 - Official Discussion Thread

Highlight is Pan's flying save. Chapter is enjoyable, it's stretching the fighting for way too long. Once again Toyotarõ keeps copying the original manga, it's beyond the point of references. I hated when the anime did it, I hate it here. I wouldn't be surprised if 10% of this manga was straight up...

Re: Funi's Kai dub and accuracy

For whatever reason the old Norwegian translation of the manga also claimed that Goku and his friends were "Group Z" in the Cell arc. Which I would assume came from the German release like so much else of the weird nonsense in that release, but don't quote me on that. When it comes to Kai...

Cute redraw of the Toriyama Cell Max promo illustration for the Chapter. I knew I saw that somewhere before. Good catch! Also, I think it's funny that people are quick to call the gigantification thing an "error" when here I was thinking it's already goofy that Piccolo had to be reminded ...

Re: Super and the narutoification of Dragon Ball (or why the meditation line actually matters)

TO BE FAIR: Toriyama has also admitted that he was pretty much making things up as he went along during Dragon Ball's best years. I think OP has it correct: there's been a major tonal shift in regards to shounen, and Goku is in a really weird position. Not only is he a product of a bygon era, but Go...

As it is, it's fine I guess. But yeah, three more months is still way too long for not enough story.

I'll give you Kibito as I forgot that Shin and Kibito were still fused until half way through the Beerus arc. So yeah, unless there's alternate time-line shenanigans, this probably does take place during Super. Where I will plant my flag is that this is meant to be a canonical continuation of "...

Re: Super anime vs Super manga

Super is a TV series with fun highlights actively better consumed in bite-sized YouTube clips, because the in-series context makes every single one of them worse. On the other hand, the manga is ... a pretty respectable fluffy sequel to DB that I think captures a lot of what makes the original fun,...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

1. Toei has pretty much mention that they specifically keep canon vague so that anyone can get into the anime/manga/movie without much confusion. 2. Like I’ve said before, if based on that trailer Daima most likely takes place after the Buu saga, but before the events of Super. The trailer very spec...

Re: Super anime vs Super manga

It's not even a contest: The manga is much more consistently written than the anime because it has a single writer, rather than multiple writers for a single anime. I think people who tend to believe the anime is better often just cherry pick the best sakuga moments and conveniently "forget&quo...

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

I don't think there's anything to suggest that Daima will be replacing Super. I don't really care about canon (because Toei certainly doesn't) but the only thing that seems quite clear from the trailer is that Daima most likely takes place sometime after Buu saga but before the beginning of Super. S...
