Hm, interesting. That seems a bit more "TV-14" than their usual. I watched Super all the way through kind of half-assed where most of the time, it was on in the background while I was doing something else. Usually these things would at least grab my attention. I guess I missed them. One t...

It’s as the title says. Yes, we all know that Dragon Ball was made for kids in Japan, and while this was also true for English speaking countries back in the days of the old Toonami, it seems to me like it’s not really the case anymore. Super and TFC aired entirely on Adult Swim in the states, and ...

Broly transforming into his roided out form supposedly made him strong enough to force Gogeta to go Super Saiyan Blue, but there’s no reason they couldn’t have simply had Gogeta use Super Saiyan Blue from the very beginning of the fight. Anyway, Shintani’s style was certainly a breath of fresh air a...

Despite Shonen in Japan being aimed at kids, it seems like the standards of what's appropriate for kids in NA are very different from that of Japan. For sure. Stuff like Death Note and Fist of the North Star are also Shonen franchises, even though they’ve certainly never been geared towards kids in...

Side note, but are there any anime dubs besides Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh that still use replacement scores at this point?

Honestly, a replacement score would've been just fine for Dragon Ball in the 90s if FUNimation were fully on board with making it like a 1970s kung fu flick first and foremost. They could easily have gotten away with introducing electronic and rock aspects to it because it's not like that's somethi...

I remember watching it from time to time, purely to see the extent of the edits that were made. I remember being confused when I first heard “Spirit Blast.” Anyway, one thing I’ll say about the Toonzai edits is that I’ve come to be a lot more understanding of the decision to make Mr. Popo blue. That...

What about “Demon Drill Cannon”?

The idea that Baby’s conquering of Earth was supposed be a misguided form of revenge against the Saiyans kind of rings hollow when you remember that Baby wanted to infect the entire universe. The simple explanation to Baby’s motives is that he’s a power hungry maniac who just uses the destruction of...

I think hearing the deities in Dragon Ball refer to the non-deities as “mortals” is a little weird, considering that most of Dragon Ball’s deities aren’t actually immortal. Besides, would someone like Roshi be considered a “mortal”? "Mortal" is just a term used to distinguish humans from ...

Baby was definitely a pretty evil dude. Even ignoring the fact that he brainwashed the people of Earth into becoming his slaves, and planned on doing the same thing to the rest of the universe, he also made it clear that he viewed said slaves as expendable toys. He casually blasted away Gohan, Goten...

The only noteworthy thing about the Copy Vegeta episodes is that Brian Drummond voiced Copy Vegeta in the English dub.

Now, I see people alluding to filler in Super, which baffles me. Akira Toriyama isn't directly working on either the anime nor manga, so what's "filler?" Has the word been changed to just mean little side stories that don't really have to do with the main plot? That's what confuses me. Pr...

If we’re talking filler purely in terms of stuff that doesn’t exist in the manga, I think there’s definitely some good filler in Dragon Ball that actually works to expand on the story and characters. Perhaps the most often cited example would be in the Saiyan saga, where we actually got to spend tim...

But how were their interactions any different from before and after? Honestly, I think the proximity to the episode is why it feels like it's impactful. It's fresh in the mind of the audience - an episode centered around Giru and Pan, but like I said, after their initial interactions on Imegga, the...

If I recall, episode 15 was definitely the point when Pan and Gill/Giru truly seemed to become close. Her crying over his supposed betrayal would’ve definitely been less impactful without that. But how were their interactions any different from before and after? Honestly, I think the proximity to t...
