I would be interested to see how Vegeta views female warriors. Is he a misogynist or is strength actually the only thing he cares about, and not the gender/sex of his opponent? I think he's probably misogynistic (he just seems the type) but that it's not something he would be too adamant about and ...

The 10th anniversary is on March 30th. To me, 2013 is still very fresh in the movie seeing that I was in my early 2000s at the time. Sorry, I laughed at this. :lol: I know you meant early 20s. I haven't seen anything post-GT, but Battle of Gods looks enjoyable based off the Kakarot DLCs which adapt...

I don't find that depressing. It's a simple fact of life that nothing stays the same. It's the impermanence that gives things meaning. How does that give things meaning, that doesn’t make sense. Everything in life is limited, including time. We don't have forever so we have to make the most of what...

I'd say that Goku's intelligence is average (though this doesn't become obvious until he's an adult, he does genuinely come across a bit dim as a child), he just has a simple personality and always remained a bit abnormal due to his isolated childhood in the woods.

The Dragon Quest anime is finished? Nice. Time to run through it sometime soon then. I watched the original version at the beginning of 2020 and thought it unfortunate that it was cut short years before the manga ended.

I think 67 is a little early to act as though Toriyama might die any day now. Nozawa is almost twenty years older and still an active seiyuu, in a voice that sounds similar to her 1960s self. Anyway, I read this thing back in July where a leaker that supposedly has a good reputation and history cla...

I think that I would have loved Dragon Ball and held the same general feelings on it regardless of what variables are tweaked. If you gave me a VHS collection of the original Dragon Ball series subtitled when I was four years old, I would have loved the bright colors, the beautiful scenery, enjoyed ...

I don't know what rumors you're referring to, but he probably doesn't. Only around 1 percent of people in their 60s have senility. 5 percent for the 70s, 25 for the 80s. Most people in their 60s and 70s are just normal adults like anyone else.

I've always thought there was something slightly odd about the way that the Oozaru transformations in the series were spaced out. Goku's first two transformations at the Pilaf Castle and 21st Tenkaichi Budokai were fairly close together, then the series goes an eternity without any Oozaru transforma...

Vegeta is both my favorite and the one I have the most mixed feelings towards. I do love the very slow, granular changes that take place across a period of around 11 years. Cell Saga Vegeta is no longer a villain, but he's still a total piece of garbage who's honestly not much (any?) better than the...

I mean, Toriyama's work has displayed awful gender and sexual politics plenty of times since then. Maybe, yeah... I know that he was still taking LGBT pot shots in 1995 (I found the negative depiction of the gay character in the 28th Tenkaichi Budokai annoying/offensive), but that's the most recent...

As far as I'm aware, the sketchy shit he's done has all come from one particular time period. Yeah, that's why I don't want to attack him over either Lady Red or the daughter joke. 1987 was a long time ago. For all we know, he was already wincing whenever he randomly remembered the joke in 1988 and...

(particularly Street Fighter and Tekken). The first Street Fighter game came out in 1987 and began development when Dragon Ball was only a thought in Toriyama's brain. It's primary influence were the same things that influenced Dragon Ball to begin with. Street Fighter started development in 1984 (...

If I remember right, that's the federal age of consent but almost everywhere has a higher age of consent on a local level.

That's fair yeah. I just don't think anything involving a 16 year old could be outright pedophilia. Sleazy and creepy and wrong, but that's a bit past pedophilia age.

You shouldn't be involved at all with a 16 year old since mentally they're very much not adults, but there's still a large gulf between finding a 16 year old attractive and having a crush on what looks like a second grader.

What's interesting is as best I can tell the Duel Monsters anime didn't start airing in Japan until April 2000 so either Funimation was trying to license the Toei tv series or they knew about the Duel Monsters anime going into production before it actually aired in Japan. Which I guess is possible?...

The Cell Games were definitely Goku's lowest moment and are part of the reason that I disagree with the notion that Goku is a static character. He maintains his general sunny and friendly demeanor along with his love for martial arts, but he still changes a good deal. Aside from the expected increas...

I'm about to visit Guru. The Namek arc is getting on my nerves a bit honestly - I don't like how there's been such minimal freedom to roam around, because you can only explore a very narrow area before you have to turn back around. I preferred the non-linearity and freedom of the Saiyan saga and hop...
