Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
I think that entire part wasn't that interesting in the first place since it feels... slow? I don't know how to put it into words It feels that way because it's an extraneous setpiece, unfortunately. Pretty setpieces mean nothing to me if they contribute nothing to the plot. Setpieces justify their...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
That interview doesn’t specify it took them months to finalise the Universal Survival Arc’s script. It doesn't need to. We know that Toriyama's story meetings are bi-monthly, we know the outline went through multiple drafts before it was finalized. This isn't rocket science, it's a matter of basic ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
Super’s scripts by Toriyama were most likely finished well in advance though. The Universe Survival outline was a several-month-long process that included multiple drafts and meetings , even on Toriyama's end. I don't know about you, but I find it especially hard to believe that this didn't affect ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
A better production DOES fix the pacing. I think you're still over-correlating good production with things that better production wouldn't necessarily resolve. The pacing depends entirely on how Toei deals with the frequency at which Toriyama comes up with new outlines. To my knowledge, he won't be...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
I correct myself: of course Super’s anime has lots of fillers, but in the future the way to fix it is not to adapt Toyotaro’s manga but to fix the behind the scenes issues Toei had with Super. I just don't like the implication that it's going to "fix" everything or guarantee a well-writte...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
I don’t understand people who want the anime to follow Toyo’s manga. We have the luxury of having no fillers and you want that? The anime would be the slowest shit ever if they followed a monthly manga. What amuses me about this comment is that you're acting like the anime wasn't already slow as sh...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
I guess those who don't care for Broly being an evil-destructive loving monstrosity in TOEI's version would prefer Toriyama's more sympathetic iteration. I'm not a huge fan of OG Broly, but I think a lot of his appeal as a character goes beyond just being some personification of destruction. There'...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
It seems to me like people are just getting nostalgiac that really wasn't that good to begin with just because a new different interpretation of the character has come along. Eh. Both interpretations of Broly are so uniquely different that I can see why some people would prefer any one version of t...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super: Broly" - Animation Hub [Updated: 20/07]
Are there HQ scans of the movie pamphlet floating around by any chance? Would love to get a hold of some of those expression sheets. You're in luck, because Ajay managed to upload most of them on the Broli movie's Sakugabooru page . Amazing. Just noticed that he added the rest of them this morning....

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
The context is that Freeza never saw a fusion, not that he never saw this particular type of fusion Then you are thoroughly twisting the context. The context is that Freeza never saw Metamoran fusion because "Fusion" was apparently the term used in that scene. I haven't seen the movie, bu...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
He still saw a fusion before, which is why Gogeta's line is odd no matter the context unless he specifically said, 'you never saw this version of fusion before'. The context absolutely matters. Don't pretend that it doesn't. If Gogeta specifically said "Fusion", then he was specifically d...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
The fusion one is an error no matter how you looked at it since he saw fusion in the manga Super too, so... Incorrect. Even if Freeza saw Kefla in the manga, he still wouldn't have seen "Fusion" (フュージョン/fuujon) which is always the term used to refer exclusively to Metamoran fusion . Potar...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
The plot wasn't enough to carry on the latest Broly film, its only saving grace was the animation. I'd rather avoid the Broly talk in non-movie threads until at least late January. That's not because I'm trying to backseat mod and say it's off-topic or anything, but more because there are so many o...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
What I liked: "The GOAT" is an antagonist I haven't been this excited for since Goku Black. I'm impressed by how instantly the chapter works to establish Moro as a terrifying otherworldly threat from just its first few pages, and I like how the story in general makes an effort to do inter...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
You said that the interview said that Broly was more popular overseas than in Japan (which was never actually stated in the interview itself). Here's your reference, bro: It seems that the basis for what makes a character popular are slightly different overseas than in Japan: “Overseas, ‘strength’ ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
1. The 1st interview never said that Broly was more popular in the West (it never even brought up the West in particular, just places outside of Japan in general) This doesn't address anything I said. This also talks about a word I never included in any of my posts on this subject. 2. Nowhere in th...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
The spoilers look interesting. I'm all for a magic-based antagonist. If Broly is “more popular” in the West it’s neglible! To be clear, I don't disagree. My point was that it's probably wrong to assume the foreign market has no influence when it comes to all things Broly, which naturally includes &q...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
While those are interesting interviews, I failed to see an concrete connection that Caulifla and Kale's existence is align with the interest of oversea fans. Dragon Ball Room oversees the continuation of the franchise. In that first interview, its section chief specifically mentions that Broly is m...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
Its clear from your posts that you seem incapable of seeing anything Toriyama or Toyotaro does critically, no matter how bad. No wonder manga-fans get called Toyocucks smh (even by folks who also hate the anime). I don't even know where to start. There is no reason for you to take these discussions...
