Re: Official Dragon Ball Monopoly Announced

Using characters for the spaces feels pretty silly, but I'm not sure there are enough unique locations that anyone actually gives a crap about to actually fill out a whole Monopoly board. Most of DB Earth is uninhabited wasteland. Like...there's Mt. Frypan, Goku's home (Mt. Paozu), Grandpa Gohan's h...

Re: Dragon Ball Super USA Adult Swim and Toonami Ratings

Looks like they've gone and axed One Piece. They've replaced it with Tokyo Ghoul. Yeah. It's a shame. One Piece is fantastic, but never managed to hook in a stable TV audience. I'm honestly surprised it lasted this long. One Piece might not ever become popular in US. It's already 800 ep+ and unlike...

Re: Dragon Ball Super USA Adult Swim and Toonami Ratings

One Piece is a great series but I always thought it had less western appeal when compared to say Naruto. It was perhaps a little bit too wacky for its own good at times. Even compared to the likes of say Bleach too. It's just...weird at times. The irony of this (and I'm not saying you're wrong) is ...

Well, this saddens me. Especially since they're dropping it like right before the Sabaody Archipelago arc starts.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" FUNimation Dub Official Discussion Thread

Because Funimation has never used Ki. You are 20 years too late to demand them to use it. Still, they SHOULD have used God Energy! But isn't God in Japanese Goddo? Two syllables compared to just God being one? Divine is two syllables as well, probably because of that. Only if you were actually writ...

But... the Dr. Slump manga is originally only 18 volumes long. Did they significantly cut the number of chapters per volume?

Re: Questions for Viz DB Translator Mari Morimoto

Kanzenshuu is going to give you terrible questions for this. Most people here won't care about the work she's visiting to speak about, just why they don't have a perfect release of Dragon Ball . For a role-related question I've always been curious about, I'd ask her if in producing her scripts (whi...

Re: Why Didn't We Get A New Opening Sooner?

That would've been nice. But, still the change came at the right time and I'm happy about that. As for why Dragon Ball doesn't change OPs often, I really dunno. I'm kind of wondering about that too. All long-running series' I've watched do that, maybe it's a DB-only thing. I think it's more of a To...

Re: Toonami 2014 DBZKai Ratings!

Toonami is now well into the era where the One Piece anime started going full DBZ and generally only adapting one ~18 page manga chapter per 23 minute episode. I want the series to do well, but I can't really blame the more casual viewers if they don't feel like sticking around for that. Another thi...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: TV Ratings Discussion Thread

Latest One Piece episode was filler, and there will be more filler before the crew reaches Cake Island, and it make sense because the Cake Island Arc is still on going in the manga. Actually, the episode before last week's episode was filler, last week's wasn't. Also, there won't be a filler arc fo...

Re: "Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters" FUNimation English Dub Official Announcement and Discussion Thread

Is that right? I just assumed. It's odd that Toei would provide an artist. Oh well, same thing anyhow. Toei has a thing with their licensees where they provide the art for DVD & Blu-Ray covers that they use. It's the same thing with One Piece & Shout! Factory's Super Sentai Blu-Rays. They g...

Re: Digital vs Tangible

I've been in the digital camp for a while. - For anime/other TV shows, I'm not a huge stickler for audio/visual fidelity, so paying a yearly fee (or just putting up with ads) to stream stuff on Crunchyroll/Hulu/whatever is preferable to buying physical releases. I don't really re-watch stuff often e...

Wow, Funi's doing a DVD and Bluray/DVD/Digital Copy release? Definitely getting the second option because I'm able to use the two physical and one digital medias (long story short, more convenient). Besides the recent DBZ movies, Funimation has never had a DB release include Blu-ray/DVD/and also a ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters" FUNimation English Dub Official Announcement and Discussion Thread

Oh, cool. Decide to check this thread after a few days and find that they've finally announced the release for The Final Chapters...and they're 23-episode sets instead of alternating 11-/12-episode sets. Nice. Guess they really do want to just get it out the door so they can finally make some money ...
