Kanzenshuu

I just reread the Granolah arc. I think I like it more than before. Everything comes together nicely. I forgot how many great things happened. I thought it felt funnier when read straight through. Toyotaro's art reads extremely well throughout the arc. I've come to really like the wish. I mentioned ...

I really like Goten's and Trunks' new designs. If they were going to do the failed fusion joke for the millionth time, I'm glad it had the twist of ending up useful somehow. Aside from that, I didn't get too excited about their presence. I'm interested to see a potential follow-up to Hedo working at...

I like the moment where Monaito gives Goku Bardock's scouter. Goku has shown sentimentality previously toward Gohan's 4-star. His attitude toward the ball, as well as his journey to recover it, was a major part of the series. Of course, Goku doesn't have the same connection with Bardock that he had ...

I think Toyotaro has produced the best Dragon Ball character designs aside from Toriyama. That said, Toyotaro is the only one we know that has had multiple rounds of drafts approved by Toriyama himself before character designs were accepted. I'm not a fan of the GT character designs, but if Nakatsur...

Another note: there were a lot of couples present for the dub showing I went to. Music: I was much more impressed with this soundtrack than the first examples of Sumitomo's work (BoG and RoF were completely forgettable for me, as well as most of the DBS anime soundtrack). I love the "Avant-titl...

I have way too much to say about this movie, so I'll just discuss it in bits. First: Who is Piccolo? The Red Ribbon folks call him Daimao (Demon King). He rejects that title. The last time he accepted the title was in the Universe 6 tournament of the manga where Vados suspected there was more to him...

I saw the dub on Sunday. Here are my thoughts: -I liked that I was able to pay attention to the visuals more. I'd say it was worth seeing the dub for that alone since there's so much going on in the background. -Performances were good overall. The new cast was very fitting. I especially liked Sabat'...

Since SuperHero takes place after this arc, you’d think Piccolo would just wish to be the strongest. But since this is proper Dragonball, the wish is much narrower and makes way more sense. Piccolo might not know such a wish is possible. Goku and Vegeta don't just hang out with their friends and sh...

I don't have a ton of time to review the content of this movie right now, but I'll just say I love it so much. As for my theater experience, I saw the subtitled version at Alamo Drafthouse (a theater where they bring you food) on Thursday at 7:45 PM. It was in the "Big Show" theater reserv...

I love this chapter. I think it's a really great ending to the arc. It's packed with so many moments, and like ch.86, the pacing is notably faster than much of the story. The healer leveled up from healing so much. In a series that's mostly about characters training to improve fighting, I like this ...

The renders seem to be modeled on the Shintani designs with the Yamamuro color scheme. Beerus is the clearest example of Shintani. Goku's eye spacing is similar to those designs as well. IMO the visuals look way worse than Naruto or Rick and Morty by a lot. Goku's hair is too droopy. I like the char...

Well I wouldn't take it as an end to the rivalry, Vegeta alludes to it in the second episode of Super, where he says that even though he recognized Goku as number 1 he doesn't intend to live in his shadow. Now this rivalry has a different dimension than the one in the original manga, there Vegeta w...

It's a cool idea. The old man reminds me more of Kuina from Toriyama's Kintoni. Either way, the Cerealians seem to be a loose mix of the Gold-eye Clan and the Tsufurians.

Roshi dodging Jiren is the most impactful example demonstrating that Ultra Instinct is more about skill than raw power.

I would be very interested to hear a convincing basis for Seven-three.

I want it to be Freeza, but I'll be shocked if it's not Gas. Gas wasn't killed, he is behind them, they are literally talking about him right as Monaito is killed, we've seen him use finger beams, he is extremely persistent, it would test Granolah's commitment to giving up on revenge (if he had kill...

Maybe the advertising is just really targeted? Literally every time I've opened Twitter for the past month, I've see a sponsored DBS:SH ad from Crunchyroll. They also had a trailer before Thor: Love and Thunder. I forget what DBS:Broly advertising was like...can anyone remind me?

Funnily enough, I was just reading the chapter where Beerus destroys Zamasu, it’s so cleverly structured from start to finish. The build-up to Future Zamasu’s appearance after the parallel dialogue between Beerus/Zamasu and Vegeta/Black was masterful. Agreed, that's really good stuff. What personal...

Many people criticised the anime for over-emphasising ephemeral action over meaningful narrative progression; I feel that the manga is really no different at all in this regard, at this point anyway. I would put it a different way. The anime attempted to deliver on narrative progression, but it fai...
