Re: The end of era: Sony discontinues the Funimation brand on April 2

I would argue that the Pokemon TV anime (plural) is not only technically better than the Dragon Ball TV anime (plural), but it is sub-culturally more important. The contribution to the franchise by its various staff since 1997 has made it a technical achievement, and a storytelling achievement throu...

Re: If Toriyama decided to bring Zamasu back

Technically he does love himself, he even fuse with himself. Can't exactly get closer than that. Zamasu hates mortals, therefore would hate Freeza. good, that'll make it hotter the dialogue between those two would be amazing , especially if they both wind up being each other's downfall Tbh, in the ...

Re: How would you introduce Dragon Ball to Gen Alpha?

Why censor a finished project when they can just label the series 18+ and include a content warning at the beginning of each episode stating "We’re fucking idiots and hate women and queer people and thought it was a smart idea to make that apparent in this series but we know better now sorry&qu...

Re: How would you introduce Dragon Ball to Gen Alpha?

anime in general is still a very stigmatized field in that same country, believe it or not. My issue is that the poor treatment of sexuality in anime does nothing to tackle that stigma. In fact it only supports it as we see so many examples of women being objectified, jokes about guys being pervert...

Re: How would you introduce Dragon Ball to Gen Alpha?

Doesn't Super always get criticized for being too "kid-friendly" and not enough "mature/serious/bloody" like the original series? Well then, It seems rather logical that you would want your kid to watch the kid-friendly series with no blood. Instead of the "mature/serious/b...

Re: How would you introduce Dragon Ball to Gen Alpha?

Kids also have more forms of entertainment outside of television today, so I think that that is important to keep in mind, too.

Re: How would you introduce Dragon Ball to Gen Alpha?

While I don't condone the more pervy stuff in original Dragon Ball it is a product of its time, and I think as long as new viewers view it in that context and understand we can't judge media by the more civilized norms of the present they will be fine 'Product of its time' is meaningless, because t...

Re: How would you introduce Dragon Ball to Gen Alpha?

So, speaking as a woman with teenage nibling(s) into anime, I would actually not introduce them to Dragon Ball . There's some really awful shit in there, and quite frankly I don't think I need to introduce them to something just because I happen to like it. I'm more interested in learning from them,...

EDIT: Oh shit, I misread the title. Yeah, I love Kefla and and Zamasu, but that's about it. Fusion is tedious otherwise. Kefla and Zamasu felt like substantial character arcs culimnating.

Re: The end of era: Sony discontinues that the Funimation brand on April 2

I'll always remember how Ian James Corlett had to quit voicing Gokuu because FUNimation wouldn't pay him enough for the damage it was doing to his voice, and thus his ability to do other acting work.

Two years later they moved to Dallas to afford paying actors even more.

Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" Dub Turns 13; Still Unreleased

It is so weird seeing a post on Toon Zone/AnimeSuperhero linked here. It's so nostalgic, lol.

Anyway, it's likely that the dub exists, if only because goddamn, would it take a lot of people to lie about.

Also, I updated the thread title again.

Re: New Toei film looks DB-inspired?

With both being based on the same source material I feel like it's inevitable that Toei Animation staff will reference something from their other series' interpretation.

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

The fact that a composer or sound director haven't been announced yet makes me lean towards there being no real sound production done on the series yet—which is to say, they probably haven't recorded voice acting yet. I don’t knownwhy they are dragging their feet if they supposedly already have a nu...

Re: Favorite DBZ arc?

Each arc inevitably tires itself out, so it's hard to choose an arc that feels like it might be, like, good. The first half of the Namek arc (up through Piccolo's arrival) is good and fun. The Artificial Humans arc is good and fun until Perfect Cell appears. After those points it feels like those re...

I kind of wonder why they didn't try to develop a companion game for Daima, too, now that I think about it.
