I just know that DB is THE I win button for ratings (And ratings are the life blood of tv) "Win" what though? Who wins what exactly? Like jj said, if a kid in 2022 is still without internet, then they seemingly have VASTLY bigger problems in life to worry about than whether or not they ge...

I've always felt that Movie 4 should've been the Garlic Jr sequel and Lord Slug should've been the filler villain. An ancient evil traveling Namekian is the type of villain that can easily fit in the continuity without problems, and it's a cool follow up to the last 70 episodes of Namekians being t...

I'm going to go arc by arc and do a quick rundown of Dragon Ball's various premises, gimmicks, tropes, and permutations in each of its major storylines for purposes of making a broader point here: 1) Pilaf/Hunt for Dragon Balls: Introduction to initial core cast and world. Holdover from Toriyama's D...

Kids are way more likely to watch Netflix or Hulu or Disney Plus or YouTube. I'll never get this "Dragon Ball needs to be on a tv channel for kids for them to watch it and get into it" Like did I fall in a time hole? Are we back in 2011? Never mind 2011: this community's general mindset a...

Always just the Japanese voices for everyone. The only exception to this at all really is Shen Long, where on rare, random occasions the original Ocean/Saban voice will still, for whatever reason, pop into my head from time to time. That's really the only odd duck out though: otherwise, its just the...

Again, for the millionth time, this has never been the point. Except it was. Osama Bin Laden was well-known, but would you call him "mainstream"? https://i.imgur.com/09QtWDS.gif I know its against the forum's rules to just post image/gif only responses to things: but I have nothing else t...

Siskel & Ebert were so well known and had so much credibility that Roland Emmerich put a character in Godzilla called "Mayor Ebert" for the sole intention of mocking him for negatively reviewing his movies (and was such a toothless hack he settled for merely making him an incompetent ...

A couple of points: I frankly don't care about changing The Masses' views on Japanese cartoons. I wasn't saying whether you personal did or didn't care about that. I was responding specifically to this point that you raised here initially: Well, yeah, that's why I said that that is a them problem, ...

Because you proved nothing. Oh a movie "critic" talked about a movie he saw? Big deal. This is emblematic of what makes trying to talk basic facts of reality so infuriating with you: Roger Ebert wasn't just some random, generic movie critic. The dude was an actual, honest to god celebrity...

Dunno what you talking about but from my experiences, a wider variety of anime is increasingly available for the past decades. Reading is fundamental: I wasn't talking about purchasing availability. I was talking about what the wider anime fanbase largely chooses to focus its energy on highlighting...

But I never said I was expecting all adults to like Pokemon , just that the idea of "Anime? That's all like Pokemon !" was stupid. Its kind of hard to fault most folks for that perception though when so much of anime fandom (i.e. the people who are supposed to be the most enthusiastic and...

What the fuck do you think mainstream means? Things that are considered "cool" or "trendy" by society. That's... that's not what mainstream means at all. "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." "Mainstream" simply means so...

Anime was already 'cool' and had been for decades at that point, it was just 'cool' in the sense that it stuck mainly to the sci-fi convention market. Dragon Ball Z was part of a one-two punch in combination with Pokemon and Toonami in making Japanese animation into mainstream brick-and-mortar fodd...

Well, yeah, that's why I said that that is a them problem, not a Pokemon problem. If you're going to go into any thing you have no prior experience with an assume it's all like one thing I'm not sure what else to say other than "If you think all cartoons from a single nation are all the same y...

Whatever the case, Ah, well nevertheless... if Toriyama was actively trying to make the next Hokuto no Ken, we'd be seeing a lot more hyper masculine muscular men as shonen protagonists. My dude... you've SEEN Dragon Ball before haven't you? https://i.imgur.com/23P5d15.jpg https://i.imgur.com/h2y6X...

Everything that comes out of my mouth has a point, sis. I've been watching you post for years, and I dont think this is correct. That sounds kinda sus, my dude (tte). Nah, I'm gonna back up Brodes on this one. Even from just my own more limited experiences with you on here, you seem to go out of yo...

Torishima told Toriyama to go the battle manga route because the readership for Dragon Ball was declining. He never pointed to Hokuto no Ken specifically. In fact, Toriyama went out of his way to subvert what HnK was doing. Its literally been stated flat out directly by Torishima himself. M: Even s...

Y'know what? Touche.

Still never answered my initial questions though.

She is bad looking. She near enough has Yunba's face. It's Yunba with makeup and a wig on.

One man's visual horror is another man's wank-fodder. Takes all kinds.

No but for real though: this you?

Oh....so it's all about politics again...shocking. Since this got just flatly ignored on the previous page, I'll repeat my two questions posed to you once again: 1) In your view, when is it ever permissible or ok to write a character that is gay, trans, non-binary, (and I guess now... *checks notes...
