Re: Accents Like Elsewhere Due to Demographic or Other Things?

Technically, it's impossible to voice a character without an accent, because every person talks with an accent, even if they, like many Americans, don't recognize that they have one.

Re: Should Dragon ball have a powerscaling editor?

I wouldn't wish that job upon the most detestable person in existence. It would be a cruel, inhumane punishment, far worse than death or damnation.

I love that Ginyu-Bra pose. So much of his (her?) personality shines through with only a simple bow.

Re: Cooler vs Son Goku Special: Prince of war | Fan manga by an amateur

I look forward to it, Captain Strawberry. And I can relate to you making a fan comic to practice draw. I've done the same, though so far I haven't finished anything worth sharing... yet.

Re: College Research Paper on the Innacuracies of International Dubs, Specifically Dragon Ball - NEED CREDIBLE SOURCES

The press archive I linked to is a collection of non-Japanese media items, so translations wouldn't be a concern with them.

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse

Since Asura can only work on his free time and since DBM tries to keep a sort of schedule instead of just releasing whenever they want, I doubt that. I understand that, but I feel there would at least be more time for him to consider whether he wants to make any improvements to a certain page. That...

Re: College Research Paper on the Innacuracies of International Dubs, Specifically Dragon Ball - NEED CREDIBLE SOURCES

I guess this doesn't count as a credible source under your listed criteria , but I recommend reading this class research paper about the Cardcaptor Sakura dub, if only to look at how they formatted and sourced their topic somewhat academically (They have a few Wiki notations in their works cited lis...

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse

I can give Asura the edge based on the technical quality of his art, but I think Toyotaro's panel layouts/storyboards are far more dynamic and visually interesting. He might not draw the characters as good (his lineart and shading can be a little primitive at times), but he draws them in more intere...

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse

Bit of an overreaction, but I understand his point. Part of the problem is Toriyama rushed Minus out without thinking it through, as is often his modus operandi. Ideas that could've worked out fine if developed properly, such as Bardock gradually softening towards his family, instead landed on us wi...

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse

Gine may not have been a particularly developed or interesting character in Dragon Ball Minus, but Hanasia is every Saiyan cliche rolled into one. Not every Saiyan needs to be a hardass badass. It gets boring if members of the same species all fit the same mold.

Re: Super Animation Catalogue 2.0 - Episode 63

That punch was a little wonky, I admit. It did look like Vegeta was about to use a Gum-Gum attack there, with his fist inflating, rather than the perspective trick the animator intended. I still think it works okay in motion. At least it shows Super's schedule isn't sapping all the ambition from its...

Re: Super Animation Catalogue 2.0 - Episode 62

First part of the episode looked iffy, but the animation came to life when it mattered at the end. Considering how much action was on display, it was surprisingly polished.

Re: Zamasu's logic is bullshit

A character being delusional, illogical, hypocritical, and self righteous does not make him or her a bad character. I agree Zamas's reasoning could have been explained better (what's the point of having a beautiful universe without anyone to observe and appreciate it?) and the whole "character ...

Re: Do you prefer Frost's appearance in the manga or anime?

Anime. It gives him a more distinct facial structure compared to Freeza, while stil making it abundantly clear that he's of the same species. We don't expect human characters to all look very similar, so why should it be any different with any other race? I like how his head curves above the "e...

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse

This artist can get one half of the characters to look amazing, and the other half to look awful. Awful is a tad extreme, but I think this is a valid observation otherwise. The heads do vary from panel to panel, page to page, even when looking at only one character. Bra's is sometimes a little roun...

Re: [Fan-manga] Dragon ball movies turned into manga

Frankly, I don't think these are worth any reasonable amount of time and effort to improve. They look like cheaply traced bootlegs of the movies, which I assume is the case. They're neat for what they are, but other projects should probably take priority. I also sort of, kind of prefer the look of t...

Re: What happened with the Japanese audio on the Blu-Ray's?

Though I don't have enough audio expertise to give a thorough technical explanation, I did work at my college radio station for a year and a half, and my best guess is that Funimation played with the EQ levels to adjust certain frequencies, making everything sound less muffled. (Again, not a technic...

Re: Fanmanga - Dragon Ball New Age

Those are some very nice pencil renderings, Malik. It's always cool to get a glimpse at the unpolished workmanship that goes into a finished piece of artwork. It gives me inspiration as I work on the pencil phase of my own drawings.

Re: Super Animation Catalogue 2.0 - Episode 61

Once again, I'm fashionably late to the discussion here. Mostly, I liked the episode a lot, even if Zamas blabbering his "mortals are evil" line over and over got a bit tiring. We get it dude. Humans are bad. You're getting to be worse than Klaatu from "The Day the Earth Stood Still&q...
