Re: The All-Purpose "Versus" Thread
How stong would Piccolo be if he had his potential unleashed during the Namek saga?

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.
Dragon Ball, Pokemon (despite being more of a gaming series), Studio Ghibli movies, Ghost in the Shell, Sailor Moon, Akira, Speed Racer, etc are probably the most well known and mainstream anime titles in NA. I feel like Dragon Ball is more popular than it was during its dead years in the states (20...

Re: Why did we never got a Dragon box reprint?
They were design to be a limited edition thing. Once they are gone, they are gone! The more "hardcore" side of the fandom is view more of a niche thing in Funimation's eyes. The people who got the brick sets won't care to buy the Dragon Boxes because they own the series to watch.

Re: Is Super on its way out?
I won't mind seeing a retelling of the 28th Tenkachi Budokai as a way to end the series.

Re: Is Super on its way out?
It also might be risky invalidating GT's existence even more because things like Super Saiyan 4 are still a huge selling point. The story can go post EoZ and still be "before GT" since it happens a whole 5 years after EoZ. I doubt Super will go THAT far anytime soon :lol: They probably wi...

I think the meme meant to say altruism. I wasn't the one who made it, I found it browsing around the web.Cure Dragon 255 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2024 6:27 pm LOL Ultraism. The thing that cannot be missing from any good Superman story.

Re: Dragon Ball and Centrism disguised as "A Desire for works to stop being political"
Art and politics go together like peanut butter and jelly. Anyone who has study art history (like myself) would know this. A lot of people only see on what is on the surface level and not anything else. Like these examples https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/419/592/211.png https://i.ky...

Re: Dragon Ball and Centrism disguised as "A Desire for works to stop being political"
Meanwhile, by contrast, Japan has a considerable degree of mutual animosity with China and Korea... and yet you don't see them making jabs about those places all the time whenever they You have people point it out in the sub-text in different Japanese media like in Attack on Titan. I remember readi...

Re: Dragon Ball and Centrism disguised as "A Desire for works to stop being political"
So, it's not "keep politics outta here", it's actually "keep your politics, that do not match mine, outta here". Pretty much this. They are okay with right wing stuff because it's not too political to them. A movie about racism being bad towards black people is woke to them, but...

The Namek saga always felt like a message about colonization with the Nameks being killed off by Freeza. They only arrive to the Planet for Dragon Balls.

I remember the 1996-1998 dub episodes was still airing on Toonami in the early 00s when I was first getting into DB.

Re: The end of "Akira Toriyama canon"
Many indie western comics are similar with manga with the comic is over when the author is done with it. Like as seen with The Maxx, Invincible, Hellboy (the spin offs are still a thing), Preacher, etc.

I doubt he will be writing and drawing any new DB stuff. From what I've seen, he is not a writer or artist.

I feel like Daima will be like the Kamen Rider Kuuga of DB with both of them being based on beginning concept ideas and released after their creator died.

Re: Justin Chatwin apologizes for Dragonball Evolution
I don't like the film, but I can get enjoyment out of it for being bad. It has a cheesy martial arts direct to video 90s vibe to it. Feels right at home next to the 90s Fist of the North Star live action film.

Re: Justin Chatwin apologizes for Dragonball Evolution
Honestly, this movie gets too much hate. Sure, it's bad, but I don't think it was the even the worst film of 2009 when you had shit like Legend of Chun Li, Transformers 2, Wolverine Origins, 2012, etc that year.
