Re: Pirating Dragon Ball (discussion)

Of course it's supported, it's just the owners do not want to be responsible or shut down for being a website that lets it's users freely share pirated content, at least publicly.

Re: What's Canon? Few Care

I only like the Saiyan Saga, and that's the only canon for me!


Of course canon is important lol or else statements like the one above would be very out of place.

Re: Your personal canon for Dragon Ball

By all accounts and purposes, if I disliked every saga after the Saiyan Saga and anything that came before and I chose to discard them, then by default my 'personal canon' would be the Saiyan Saga only. There is no such thing as 'personal canon' because what IS canon stays canon. No question about i...

Re: Who would be on your anime Justice League/Avengers team?

I'm actually surprised that with all the anime stuff they do with Marvel and DC in Japan that they haven't crossed superheroes with the best in Anime. Because of reasons. Toriyama has shown he's a big Superman fan a number of times (Suppaman, Goku's origins, manga Jiren), but I think the issue come...

Re: What do you consider a Dragon Ball era time capsule?

The original 42 volumes. Boo arc used to feel like "the end." Like, for years it was so definitive and any rumors of it continuing with AF and Hoshi and whatever was laughable. GT was considered irrelevant/noncanon whatever. But nowadays, it feels like things just stop after the Boo arc, ...

Re: Buying the Mexican dub of Dragon ball

Best way to get them is through alternative means unfortunately. There's people who have swapped out the English/Japanese tracks of the Dragon Boxes and inserted the Mexican Dub. So you can go that route? That's what I was hoping to do but I'll still need to get my hands on the dub it self. All I c...

Re: Funimation doesn't "own" Dragon Ball, right?

Yeah, you are correct. Toei owns everything related to the anime, and Shueisha the manga. Funimation only owns their specific dubs, but they do not own the rights to the show overall. This is why there's been no original Funimation content of Dragon Ball, it's all been dubs of the stuff they licens...

Re: WOW! Toriyama hated the fight filler even back then!

No one will argue with you that Z was the height of DB's popularity, but without everything that came before it, it's not DBZ. I don't see what that has to do with this interview, though. I thought it was smart of Toei to bring Pilaf into the story from the beginning, instead of at the tail end of ...

Re: WOW! Toriyama hated the fight filler even back then!

It is very important to place the proper context on interviews, in this case, the interview was before the release of the Dragonball anime and around the Red Ribbon Saga. Toriyama was still 3 years away from starting Dragon ball Z, the part of the story that would truly define the franchise. I'm alm...

Re: Would you still be as engaged in Dragonball fandom if Super did not exist?

Outside of collecting the S.H.figuarts line, and buying whatever collectible DVD/Blu-Ray's FUNimation releases, probably not. I watch a few episodes here and then, but now that the new series is out I feel much more active.

Re: Should Dragon Ball continue to be aimed towards its original intended age group?

No, the story should be what it is. Comics grew up with their audience and because they weren't aimed towards kids, there was a whole lost generation of comic book fans. Why do you find it hard to like something because it's aimed at kids? A story can be sophisticated and still appeal to kids. I'm ...
