Re: The History of Dragon Ball in Every Country

No Dragon Ball show has EVER been aired on swedish television. Yeah, it sucks. The only swedish dub of anything DB related are some of the movies that had obscure direct-to-video/DVD releases in the late 90's/early 00's. Not even DBZ Kai ever aired here in Sweden which is notable because the Swedish...

Re: How would you handle a teenage/older Pan?

I'm not sure how I would do an older Pan, but one thing is for darn sure; the personality they gave to her in GT is THE worst possible one of all. My God, she's just awful. She is full of herself and overestimates her own abilities just like Gotenks (another character I hate) and has the same tenden...

Re: Things have gotten too weird - Mai

Honestly, what makes me roll my eyes is that so many more people seem to be against Kid Mai X Future Trunks than against Kid Mai X Kid Trunks. Because here is the thing; "Kid" Mai isn't a kid. She looks like one but she is not one. So no mater how you slice it, the very implication of Kid ...

Re: Things have gotten too weird - Mai

You know, after all these years of watching anime, whenever I see pedophilia in it I just shrug and go "oh dem japanese. Just as long as they never go near my kids if I ever have any".

Re: What was your Highlight of the series?

DBZ (as well as Kai and the corresponding part of the manga) is one big highlight of the franchise as a whole. I judge basically everything else DB related to how closely it captures the spirit of DBZ. As for a more specific highlight, I might have to choose Goku vs Freeza on Namek. Other personal a...

Re: Songs you can imagine characters singing to one another

I can imagine this song being about Goku, sung from the point of view of, well, pretty much the rest of the Dragon Ball cast in general (except the villains of course). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yCvuVUUNHE The reason why the song fits so well is that it seems to be about an inspirational and ...

Re: Your fondest memories related to DB?

My fondest memory of DB was when I was first introduced to the series by a friend back in 2009 who insisted that I watched the whole Goku Vs Freeza fight. I marveled at the very idea that a fight between two characters could last 19 episodes and yet remain entertaining and exciting, but when I reali...

Re: What aspects do you think tarnished the Dragonball brand

Honestly, I dont think that the image of the Dragon Ball franchise is "tarnished" to any notable degree at all. It's still looked at primarily as a fun, cool, fondly remembered and very popular franchise. I only have to compare it with my other two favorite pop-cultural franchises; The Sim...

Re: Yamcha as a joke character.

I have no idea when or what exactly it started from, all I know is that he's been poked at even since I watched the dub when I was little. That last episode wasn't helping his case any as a character :oops: Yeah, that latest episode of Super made me convinced that Toei now views Yamcha as the resid...

Re: Is the series really about "Saving The World?"

I Think the main theme of the entire series is self-improvement, since the heroes always improves their skills and capability, and many of the villains improve their personalities by learning empathy and embracing good moral values.

Re: 20 years ago today, the final "Dragon Ball Z" aired

I was born on the exact date that the very first Dragon Ball movie, Curse of the Blood Rubies, came out in Japan on December 20 1986. On an another note, no offense to those of you born a few years into the 90's, but personally I cannot really consider anyone a TRUE 90's kid if you aren't old enough...

Re: TeamFourStar's mark on DB franchise

TFS does seem to have impacted the DB fanbase to a larger degree than almost any other fan-created content has done to any other fanbase. The only other fanbase I can think of where certain fan-created content has become similarly integrated into the fanbase is My Little Pony. The difference between...

Re: Worst Dragon Ball Saga?

As far as the manga storylines go, I'd have to say the Fortuneteller Baba arch followed by the Red Ribbon Army arch. They're not bad, but they just dont have anything about them that stands out in the way that every other arch does. Most of the archs in the series are usually either more dramatic, h...
