Re: What was the worst era of DB video games?

Probably PS3/360 era, lots of games but few of them stuck with me. PS2/GC/XBOX/GBA era was a total mixed bag but I feel positively about it overall. Some really great stuff (Budokai series, Tenkaichi series, LOG2/Buu's Fury, Supersonic Warriors, Super DBZ) but also a good amount of garbage (LOG1, Ta...

Re: Reasons you want the weekly anime back.

I would like Super to come back as a show instead of movies, but not necessarily weekly. I think my enjoyment of Super was hindered greatly by its mediocre animation quality and instead of being a show that airs every single week nonstop, I'd rather it become seasonal. Like do a 13 episode Moro seas...

Re: The idea of Redeeming Nappa. How do you feel about this?

Not interested in bringing back Nappa. A Goku/Bardock reunion could be interesting (Baba bring him back for one day?) or maybe even something Raditz-related, but I can't really think of a good reason to bring back Nappa.

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

When they created Black Frieza, do you think they had Vegeta's warnings about Frieza getting stronger in the Broly movie in mind? Or do folks think it's just a coincidence & an asspull? I think it's been an obvious concern since the Tournament of Power. If Freeza could catch up to 15 years of G...

Re: Potential Future Arcs

1. Black Freeza Arc - Black Freeza arrives to face Goku/Vegeta/Gohan/Piccolo. Broly's allegiance is in question, Freeza wants to win him over but he ultimately sides with Goku because this new Broly is actually a good dude. 2. Universe 6 Saiyan Arc - The gang travels to U6 Planet Sadala to train the...

Has there been official word on exactly why GT ended?

I was just watching the end of GT with some friends and the topic came up of why GT ended at episode 64. Were the ratings low? Were people not buying enough action figures? Has anyone working on the show ever said anything about it?

Re: Which character in which saga would you say is the best written character in the Franchise?

Majin Vegeta arc is some of the best character writing in any Shonen Jump thing I've read. DBZ is an action cartoon made for kids, yet they still managed to give Vegeta a really compelling, mature story arc about what is essentially his midlife crisis. Can't say I've seen many stories tackle what a ...

Re: Dragon Ball Z Singles - Faithful to Broadcast?

IIRC the Krillin gets impaled episode was cut from the editeds entirely and they slapped the few usable minutes of footage onto the next episode.

Re: Should the series introduce God forms for other races?

Sure, why not? I'd prefer transformations to bullshit power scaling. There's no way Master Roshi is stronger than Raditz on his own, but if they were to throw him some sort of transformation before the RoF/ToP arcs, his inclusion would make much more sense. The Nameks might have some ancient techniq...

Re: Next movie teaser... Raditz eating an apple while sitting on Daishinkan's corpse...

Is Raditz even popular enough of a character to bring back? I would think they’d be more likely to “canonize” Cooler over resurrecting the long forgotten starter villain of the Saiyan arc. I agree, but he is Goku's underutilized brother, and he's probably more well known among casual fans than Cool...

Re: Dragon Ball Z Singles - Faithful to Broadcast?

The DVDs were all uncut so those weren't accurate. The VHS tapes were released in two types, both edited and uncut for each tape starting with the Captain Ginyu stuff when Funi started dubbing in-house. If the tape said uncut, it was uncut, if it didn't mention anything about that it was the edited ...

Re: What do you want with Broly?

No, I'm saying what if Freeza does that in the future, like if that "Freeza comes back" story arc happens like a year after the Broly film or something. I do agree with your point about Kale. Gohan's agreed to balance but he's still a familyman who has to spend a significant portion of his...

Re: What do you want with Broly?

Tricky thing with Broly is you don't want to assimilate him into the main cast too much or else EoZ comes into question, because why isn't he at the tournament? So whatever they do with him next, they should give him some sort of off-world obligation. Helping out a planet or something, some reason t...

Re: Could a "Dragon Ball: Next Generation" show work?

DBS Broly is a better written character than most of the ones in this franchise. He's got an interesting backstory, and a whole future story arc set up and everything. I don't agree on any of those counts. What was interesting about his backstory? Why does backstory matter that much? And what futur...

Re: Could a "Dragon Ball: Next Generation" show work?

The problem with Oob is he’s bland as shit. He couldn’t lead a series to save his life. But if we're ignoring GT, he's not bland as shit. He's a timid kid who wants to earn money for his village, and that's a decent enough basis for a character. You can develop him as it goes on. Toriyama made it w...

Design-wise, sure. But function-wise and story-wise, it's new ground for the series. Instead of Goku and Vegeta racing for the same transformations, Goku's are gonna branch off into ones that focus on natural non-thinking "instinctive" movements, and Vegeta's will focus on being mentally a...

Re: Is Dragon Ball creatively bankrupt at this point?

It's not creatively bankrupt, BoG was totally fresh for the franchise. However the rest of Super likes to redo old villains/ideas or tackle ideas fans have been asking for (eg. Evil Goku). Even this new Moro arc isn't totally new, since Moro as a villain is pretty much King Piccolo meets Cell/Buu. H...

I don't think it's that odd, they can go 2 chapters without mentioning the events of DBS. They talk about Buu cause they gotta introduce Uub.
