Re: Why does fan service get more hype than Dragon Ball?
Now you are just going off. My point was rather simple. Their culture is slightly different regarding the issue of sex, teens and cartoons. The age of consent of 13 is a fact that, even though by itself it's not very meaningful, it does still work as an indicator towards those differences, which is...

Re: Why does fan service get more hype than Dragon Ball?
It's not the fact that they seem more willing to tolerate and might enjoy sexualized teen cartoons that don't harm anyone that makes Japan a worse country than a country less willing. And who is "they"? The Japanese people? This has been a controversial issue in Japan for sometime now. Ju...

Re: What do you guys think of Brian Drummond's Vegeta?
Most animation is exaggerated because it's diificult to convey subtle emotions , but I don't think the moment calls for Vegeta to be theatrical in his reaction. He's pissed, he's not showing off. You can't prove that . Regardless, there's plenty examples of Vegeta being angry/pissed off but the ani...

Re: Why does fan service get more hype than Dragon Ball?
You can slice it however you want but age of consent seems to be 13 in Japan and, even though there might be consequences if they are under 18, basically as long as the parents seem to be fine with it there aren't. That's still a sweeping generalization due to the variance. It's also not a very goo...

Re: The All-Purpose "Versus" Thread
For that one time that happened, there have been countless times when people--usually with much lower battle power than the kids--have effortlessly trounced wild predators and the like, often much larger and more impressive ones than the snake. I dunno, didn't a giant fish eat some of Freeza's best...

Re: Why does fan service get more hype than Dragon Ball?
Uh okay, you think it's fun to draw underaged girls as sex objects. I don't find that appropriate. Like it has been stated, age of consent is 13 in Japan. I'd rather you not make sweeping statements like that. Municipalities and prefectures have their own laws and statutes in accordance to this . T...

Re: Why does fan service get more hype than Dragon Ball?
People sure don't draw it for the money. They do it because it's fun. Just look at series like Idol M@ster or Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann , where the girls are drawn with feverous passion for being cute, or Kill la Kill , which is simply an excuse for Imashi Hiroyuki and his friends to draw naked gi...

Re: The All-Purpose "Versus" Thread
Kid Kakarot, that's a new one.
The fight could go either way. Goten and Trunks struggled with a giant snake, so I suppose it depends on the dino's battle power.

Re: Is Cell a Super Saiyan?
Wasn't it Trunks who defeated Freeza in Cell's timeline? Impossible. Goku died of a heart virus in Cell's timeline which means there was no medicine from Trunks. (Chapter 364, p.4) It's not impossible. A variety of things could've happened. The text is pretty clear by what it means. http://puu.sh/k...

Re: Is Cell a Super Saiyan?
Also, it should be pointed out that in Cell's timeline, Goku became a Super Saiyan and killed Freeza/Cold. Since we know the DNA robot got Freeza/Cold's DNA, it had a chance to grab Goku's DNA at that time too. Wasn't it Trunks who defeated Freeza in Cell's timeline? Cell states Trunks was present ...

Re: What do you guys think of Brian Drummond's Vegeta?
Horikawa overall does a good job, but he's not at all perfect. He sounds bored half the time in Kai, kind of how Drummond often sounds bored or lackluster in the Boo saga and GT. Brian Drummond didn't dub Vegeta in GT, that was Roger Rhodes from the Blue Water cast. Also I personally don't think he...

Re: Is Cell a Super Saiyan?
Weird. The fly robot found Freeza and King Cold when they came to Earth, but didn't "find" the Super Saiyan next to them (Trunks, obviously). Because it is stated that the fly robot was with them until the end of Saiyan saga, it didn't follow them to planet Namek, so there couldn't be a w...

Re: Why does fan service get more hype than Dragon Ball?
Well, sex sells. Dragon Ball's already their flagship title, so it really doesn't need any advertising. Anyway, the one thing Toriyama has an edge on over other manga artists is how he depicts women with realistic bodies, as opposed to the type of typical shit you'd see in One Piece nowadays. I don'...

Re: What do you guys think of Brian Drummond's Vegeta?
BUt not while the show is already up and running. It's doesn't come across as though they are saying there should be a switch of actors mid-series. If it was, then I agree, that's absurd. In that one no, they're just giving the implication that a change is warranted because Drummond can't hack late...

Re: What do you guys think of Brian Drummond's Vegeta?
There's no reason Drummond wouldn't fit Vegeta up until he's brought back to fight Boo. And even then, it's a matter of direction. Then you need to direct him different from the outset. As you said, his voice wouldn't change just because he was an arguably better person. However, the director would...

Re: So is Tarble now non-canonical?
Why would Super take precedent over the movie it's reiterating? Why would the movie? Did Toriyama's work on BoGs directly affect the line about Tarble being put in? It's all rather arbitrary what's decided by fans to be canon, so I don't see why it matters. Official material is official material, co...
