Re: Dragon Ball Magic? *RUMOR*

It's a good indication something MIGHT be happening, it doesn't confirm Dragon Ball Magic At this point, I’m inclined to think it’s more likely than Super coming back as an anime. Right, I'd sooner buy an announcement for 2uper than Dragon Ball Magic I don’t know. I feel like there’s plenty of smok...

Re: Dragon Ball Magic? *RUMOR*

I Why are we just assuming they "can't" do the manga rather than because adapting a monthly ongoing manga is still a supremely stupid idea (seriously, it seems like people want bad pacing and filler shit)? I'm surprised that anyone with credibility is even talking about this. Thank you. I...

Re: Dragon Ball Magic? *RUMOR*

Toriyama also the one who came up with the heeters and helps out with the manga sometimes All I’m saying is I don’t think it’s implausible that Toei might not see much value in bringing back their ongoing anime series just to adapt the manga content. What other explanation would one give for why th...

Re: Dragon Ball Magic? *RUMOR*

i doubt that since they are working on this web project about shin and kid goku with it being 45 minute 15 episodes. A 15 episode web series seems more manageable than an ongoing television series that’s adapting the work of someone who isn’t Akita Toriyama. Toriyama is the one who supervises the m...

I wonder that too. I don't get why they haven't. Is it that hard to do new episodes for Super?

Re: Dragon Ball Magic? *RUMOR*

Let see if the rumors are true, I guess we will find out very soon we are near October. I don't understand why they don't animate the manga, there is the Moro chapter and Granolah chapter.

Re: Dragon Ball Magic? *RUMOR*

This might be a hot take, but assuming this is legit (which I’m not saying it is), I think I’d somewhat prefer this over adapting the manga. The DBS formula has long since gotten stale for me. I’d definitely prefer it over adapting the movies, that’s for sure.

Re: Dragon Ball Magic? *RUMOR*

. And DB remake would "require" (unfortunately) too much censorship. To the point it wouldn't feel half like the original thing. I think all the involved parties don't see a point in this. There would be nothing to censor if it's remade from the ground up. Most of the worst stuff was Toei...

Re: Another live action thread (yes, I know)

For all its many faults, DBE had the right idea of blending the very first arc of the manga with the Piccolo Daimao arc. That’s a good way of streamlining the story, without starting off with the Saiyans. It does mean removing the Red Ribbon Army, which would affect Dr. Gero’s motivation if they eve...

Re: Another live action thread (yes, I know)

snip snip Well, I can't argue with these points. Adaptation is a tricky business to balance things. What to keep in, or leave out. How long things can be drawn out or shortened. I think would have given the One Piece show 13 episodes and not 8, for a better pacing maybe. But that's the only change ...

Another live action thread (yes, I know)

I assume most people know why they’re suddenly seeing another thread about a hypothetical live action Dragon Ball adaptation, but for the sake of clarity, I’ll explain it anyway. The Netflix One Piece show was just released a couple of days ago, and in what may very well be a first for a western (pl...

Re: People who genuinely argue the humor added in dubs "Improves the show"

My personal stance on dubbing is that dubs should be faithful enough that they maintain the plot and characterizations of the original, but that there’s nothing wrong with punching up the dialogue, as long as it doesn’t effectively alter the mood of a scene, or reference Internet memes or something....

Re: Toyotarou's Ideas Leave No Impact on Dragon Ball Super

Moro arc stole heavily from Cell arc. Granola arc was only unique one that didn't use Toriyama previous work but had paper thin plot. I wouldn’t even say that Granolah is especially unique. We’ve had stories in the past about villains who want revenge against the Saiyans. Granolah just happens to b...

Re: Would you ride on Attack Ball/Round Spaceship?

It took Vegeta and Nappa an entire year to get Earth in those things, even though Goku was able to get to Namek in just six days, so it doesn’t even seem like they’re a very effective means of travel.

Re: Why is "new" mainline Dragon Ball so stuck in the past?

Much of modern entertainment in general is stuck in the past. Just look at Star Wars and all these other franchises that have received legacy sequels. Even superhero movies have been doing it lately with the multiverse storylines.
