Kanzenshuu

I hope I'm not too late to at least add confirmation. Both the anime and manga play out a scene that goes: Goten: "Lunch time!" Goku: "Hi, Goten! You don't have school today?" Goten: "It's Sunday." Because of this, I'd always assumed that Goten was made to be going to ...

It seems fairly unpopular to like Chi-Chi, but I do, particularly as a mother. Despite her being so overbearing in regards to her children, she seems like an honest representation of what many mothers are like. It does bother me that she's so controlling over her children, but the honest reason is ...

I tend to prefer stories driven by characters than stories driven by plot. Not that I dislike the latter but in my opinion, stories that are focused more on characters and less on plot are typically more interesting. Some of the best advice I received in regards to writing was “Make your characters ...

Is it the worst arc ever? No. I can’t say it’s that bad but I will say that for the most part, I haven’t enjoyed it. It definitely had room for improvement and I will agree with others who have attested it is far too long. If you cut its length in half, you would have improved a lot of the issues. I...

While I’m not a fan of it overall, there have been moments and certain episodes I have enjoyed so I do check back every so often to see if my opinion has changed. I try to see what others reactions to a certain episode have been and if people are giving really good feedback, I’ll check it out. I’ve ...

I would need context for that middle question, but off the top of my head children and adults value life differently due to experiences and lessons learned Only partially. Children go through different levels of morality due to how their minds change through different developmental stages. A child ...

Definitely one of the best villains. This arc is really what caught my eye about the original Dragonball and remains my favorite. Demon King Piccolo was a legitimate threat, actually thought to kill the Dragon so no wishes could be used against him and he’s just got this intimidating presence about ...

Super Saiyan 4 was always one of my favorite forms and honestly, it might be my favorite. I love how it really calls back to the fact that Saiyans are an apes/monkey-type race. The fact that they bring the tail back pleases me to no end; I always preferred the Saiyans and Half-Saiyans with tails. I ...

One of my favorite aspects of Dragonball was that the characters DID age and did change so I do miss that with Super. I was never a fan of shows where the characters stay perpetually young and time doesn't seem to affect them. I think it takes some of impact of their adventures away. I remember bein...

1: Android/Cell Goku--I know a lot of people aren't fond of Goku in this arc but I think it was a perfect finisher to his development. It always seemed to me that Goku moved from simply a martial artist in this arc to being a master/teacher in his own right. Seeing him pass his skills and knowledge ...

As someone who in general is not fond of Super (though it does have some good moments) I really don’t think a change of music would have made a lick of difference. My problems with Super boil down to the writing and characterization. While music enhances a scene, if what’s already present isn’t enjo...

As a general rule, I tend to agree that the replacement music feels out of place and doesn’t really fit the show. Having said that though, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy some of it. It’s pretty rare that I prefer the English soundtrack, music wise, to the Japanese but in at least three cases,...

I don't think Goten is having the same obsessive education that Gohan did and I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't studying because he comes off as being pretty dumb to me, like his dad. Trunks probably has inherited his parents' intellect because of cartoon logic and probably doesn't need to study...

I’ve always had a strange fondness for GT. There are things about it that don’t work as well as things that could have been done better but overall, I like how things turn out. While I would have liked to see some characters developed differently, I still think it made sense—Gohan while focused on h...

This is probably a minor question but I have been wondering with Super— Does Goten go to an actual school or is he homeschooled like Gohan was? Trunks seems to have a private tutor (which doesn’t surprise me) but Goten I’m unsure. ChiChi seems to push the studying like with Gohan but then mentions t...

I’ll agree with Freeza being focused on too much. I appreciated his character during his first appearance but I actually don’t think he’s the best villain in the series. Now, don’t get me wrong, he definitely is a diabolical tyrant and I do appreciate his sophisticated speech pattern (simply for the...

Super is...decent. I definitely think it’s my least favorite of the different series but I’m also divided on it. The stuff that’s good is REALLY good but I don’t feel there was more good than bad. The characterization was iffy at times and I have to admit to not really liking this final arc even tho...

I wouldn’t call him more Saiyan so much as the luck of the draw for genes. Passing on certain traits to your offspring is usually dependent on multiple genes from both yourself and your partner. It’s not really 50/50 because all kinds of factors determine whether a genotype shows up as a phenotype. ...

I thought in the later sagas, they used energy as a translation. Isn’t that what ki/chi translates to? Life energy?

Am I the only one who likes the classic Tenkaichi Budokai ring? I enjoy the classic ring if we’re talking early series. When the characters still used more martial arts than ki blasts and such, it’s awesome. It does still have a nostalgic fondness to it but I’ve found it doesn’t seem to work as wel...
