Re: How did you come to know about dragonball?
Mostly a combination of internet boards/fan subs as well as the International Channel back in the day.

Re: Toei was at their best when they did their own thing
Meh, Toei’s superior contributions were the exception rather than the rule. I still prefer the auteur’s vision above all else.

Re: Would you say Dragonball Evolution is better or worse than The Last Airbender?
Paprika had nothing to do with Inception, FYI. Going by that logic, Nolan took influence from an old Scrooge McDuck comic that had a similar premise. Fair enough for Black Swan though.

Re: I like Goku: Xeno's personality and design more than those of normal Goku.
He could be interesting, but my issue is he’s now the opposite extreme of where Super Goku is. Being more serious is fine and, but Goku should never not have that child like sense of wonder. Xeno Goku almost acts like what much of the US fanbase THINKS Goku is based on the Funi dub of old.

Re: Funimation Featured on Anime Production Committees For Three Titles in Winter 2020 Season
I mean, it goes far beyond mere aesthetics. Then again this isn’t the right place to discuss the pros and cons of AOT and the like, especially since I was already asked not to spoil.

Re: Funimation Featured on Anime Production Committees For Three Titles in Winter 2020 Season
Japan does not always have the best tastes in entertainment either, some of the stuff that gets greenlit over there really makes me double over in shock. What happened with Full Metal Alchemist? I'm not real familiar with that show so i'm not aware of what the incident was. Most of the out there co...

Yeah, this was a bad faith argument from the start where the OP had already made up his mind clearly. And you people fell for it. LMAO.

Re: Would you say Dragonball Evolution is better or worse than The Last Airbender?
There's like a billion different Gundam stories though, it'd be kinda hard to fuck anything up if they can just tell their own story instead of trying to retell Hiro's or Domon's. They should do what War in the Pocket did. Pick a date and tell the story of how the war played out during that month. ...

Can we all agree that the Netflix Death Note is worse than either?

Re: Would you say Dragonball Evolution is better or worse than The Last Airbender?
DBE had such a low budget it was pretty much doomed from the start. That said, I always thought Chow Yun Fat COULD have been a good Roshi, had they aged him up via make up. Only showing him young during flashbacks. I also at least appreciate that they TRIED to make the world a bit fantastic and colo...

Re: What do you want with Broly?
That doesn't make sense. There's plenty of superhero comics that are for all-ages, while also being plenty of titles for an older audience. I didn't realize there was a mandate that you couldn't have both. I’m not against comics for adults obviously. My statement about Dark Knight Returns and Watch...

Oh if only we had some really strong resourceful person around, we'd be saved. I don't really think this is the message that those stories primarily send. I see it more as "Look at how these folks are living their lives, see what's possible when you work hard enough and/or are fortunate enough...

More to the point, I feel one of the one reasons the Bardock and Trunks specials were as impactful as they were was BECAUSE they were the exception and not the rule.

Re: What do you want with Broly?
My question is; what would a more “adult” Dragon Ball even look like? Would it entail more graphic violence? More focus on the politics of the Dragon World? Blatant sex and nudity? I think this is assuming a lot about what it means for a story to be "adult." HxH is pretty definitively for...

Re: Dragon Ball and COVID-19
To bring this back to something slightly anime related as per the topic, I’m not so much concerned with Toei as I am Kyoani. Recall they had already suffered a huge tragedy last year due to arson.

Exactly, IF proper measures are taken. The problem is that a lot of people (especially on the right/conservatives) aren't taken these measures, which is resulting in things getting worse. It's even worse than that; there are a shitload of people who actively believe that this is nothing but "a...

Re: Is it time to accept Faulconer OST did it better than the original?
[When they separated from Saban, that would have been a golden opportunity to start fresh, but they didn’t take it. Hell, even the Cloverway dub of Sailor Moon started to use the Japanese ost. And I can’t believe I’m defending that dub! :lol: The Pioneer dub of the movies gave Funimation a golden o...
