Re: The Manga is no more canon than the anime right?
I just remembered the reason why I never considered the manga canon: It's because it didn't have the tingly-back explanation for Super Saiyan. Ok bear with me. We know from that one interview about the Broly movie that that explanation came from Toriyama- because of course it did - and in the manga ...

Finally decided to make a TOD after years of playing. They're a lot harder than the lab rats make them look, and this was a fairly simple one.

Re: The Manga is no more canon than the anime right?
See, with this post you're falling into the trap a few people in this thread have made of dismissing one medium as lesser because you don't see the people involved with creating it as legitimate authours or passionate creators. The weekly script writers weren't "passionate about the material&q...

Re: The Manga is no more canon than the anime right?
Fixed that for you and everyone. Id prefer a product that at least the veterans over at Toei developed under toriyama's direction than some guy who wrote DB AF of all fan fics. I too am strangely willing to attribute extra legitimacy in crafting a sequel work to a rotating handful of for-hire weekl...

Re: The Manga is no more canon than the anime right?
I’d say it’s whatever comes out first because that what gets ingrained in the collective consciousness. So it goes BoG/RoF movies, U6/Trunks/ToP anime, Broly movie (obviously, that’s the only one- the anime was over and the manga just said “buy tickets dweebs”), Moro/Granola manga. That’s the most ...

Re: What actors/actresses would you like to see in the Moro and Granolah arcs?
Has Akio Otsuka made it into Dragon Ball before? He'd be a sick choice for Moro. For Granolah you'd want someone younger with a hint of "protagonist voice" but who could go dark when needed. Maybe the bloke who plays Eren Yeager? English or Japanese. Whenever speculating on English dub voi...

God, I would die to see, like, Gokuu and Hit having their long awaited rematch as a basketball game. :cry: You know what, if we're involving Universe 6 I want to see Gotenks vs Kefla in a basketball match. That would be actually insane. Not just that...but what if Kefla and Gotenks did a volleyball...

Re: Would you like a beach episode in DBS?
"Why are people horny?" Sometimes people are just attracted to images and want to inject that into their art. I mean, obviously the production staff of the Boku no Hero Academia cartoon have multiple interests. We see their interest in drawing cute girls in cute swimwear the same way we s...

Re: The weak points of DBS & DBGT both involve Goku's immaturity
Why does that annoy you? Same reason him begging Zamasu for a fight in the Super anime annoyed me. It makes him look whiny. I love irresponsible fight-happy Goku, but the best depictions of it are a bit more subtle with a darker side. Like the way he acted during the Cell and Buu arcs where he was ...

Re: Would you like a beach episode in DBS?
My Hero Academia is supposed to be the classy well-paced seasonal shonen and they just done a beach episode. That means until DBS does one, it's officially the better show. Why does anime filler always draw from the same pool of stock storylines? If it's not a beach episode it's a baseball episode....

Re: DragonBall Z Abridged
No interest in seeing more Abridged. I'm sorry. I don't think these original CGI Dragon Ball parodies really work, either. Team Four Star seems to way too into their own meta humor. Which is a problem I notice 5 seasons into shows like Venture Bros for instance. It bothers me how Cell, Frieza, and ...

Re: Did you like the bromance between Android 17 and Frieza?
It was good, but I preferred Freeza's interactions with Gohan. I liked that he was the only one who acknowledged his "team leader" position, even if it was mostly taking the piss. Their unspoken teamup to trick Frost and genuine camaraderie taking on Dyspo was also pretty cool.

Re: The weak points of DBS & DBGT both involve Goku's immaturity
It's been a while since I've seen GT but wasn't there that bit where it looks like Trunks has disabled Baby's life support and Goku starts whining over not getting the chance to fight him and starts crawling all over his tube? It's a mild scene, but one that still sticks out to me as being annoying...

Re: "Dragon Ball FighterZ" Official Discussion Thread
Ok, adjusting to Baseku's new move is going to be tougher than I thought. It's guaranteed sliding anywhere which is great, but 2M is tough on my fat-finger muscle-memory. I keep doing it too early. I also got to work out what people are doing with Hit now- I'm seeing footage of people actually using...

Re: Toriyama's Ruthless Vegeta
I actually like that Vegeta is so indifferent to Freeza in Res F and Paragus/Broly in their movie. It's hilarious when held up against what seems to be the common fan expectation that he'd have some big emotional reaction to meeting new Saiyans or getting the chance to get revenge against Freeza. T...
