Re: Kai vs. Z Dub

While I agree that some can be blind to nostolgia, I don't think the original dub (outside of season 3) is bad dub. Playful yes but I like to think of it like the original sailor moon dub. It may not be as loyal to the original but it wasn't afraid to be a little goofy here and there. The old Sailo...

Re: Dragon Ball GT - Rooted in the '90s (pro or con?)

It wasn't just GT. The Dr. Slump anime that came out right after GT was the same way.

As one commenter amusingly said, "it's like the 90's threw up everywhere."

Re: What phrases/opinions/things bring out your irate fanboy

Pretty much anytime someone says the

"ALLY TO GOOD, NIGHTMARE TO YOU!"

speech is better than

"I AM THE SUPER SAIYAN, SON GOKU!"

Without even the slightest hint of irony.

Re: Should Toriyama's word be taken as absolute truth?

I got one. If Toriyama said Yamcha liked men, would you believe that? I mean, we all know Yamcha is or was afraid of women, right? :lol: Given the reason you stated, sure. It doesn't seem impossible. He's always been a pretty boy. :wink: Hell, Yamucha being a closeted homosexual would make more sen...

Re: Should Toriyama's word be taken as absolute truth?

I honestly don't care what Toriyama says in interviews. IMHO, it's only canon of it's mentioned in a manga or anime. Otherwise, I treat it like just an opinion.

Re: What do the creators think?

Contrary to what the English part of the Internet seem to think, foreign creators don't really pay all that much attention to what some random Americans do when localizing their creation. How much do you think Steven Spielberg has commented on the Japanese dub of Jurassic Park? I doubt he even know...

Re: Is there any possibility of FUNimation releasing Dr. Slu

I just watched the 90s opening. It was one of the most obnoxious things I've ever seen. It was literally like a Dr. Slump anime had sex with Saved by the Bell and THAT was their love child.

The epitome of, "trying too hard," IMHO.

I like to say that DBGT is an attempt to bring back the fun humor of Dragon Ball. Except that they forgot the part where they have to actually make it funny.

Nostalgia plain and simple. Many of these people are most likely also "Genwunners". I agree with you except for that last part. I'm a long time Transformers fan and have been on many forums over the years. Sorry, but Geewunners aren't an actual thing. That's just a childish attempt by Bay...

I have no idea what you're trying to say. It's still a cartoon regardless of whatever language you choose to use.

Dragonball was never about badass guys showing off their oiled muscles and doing nothing but fightning. Not saying I disagree, but try telling that to 99% of its American fanbase. Seriously. Not to sound like a dick, but this is the truth. OP here's posts literally look like a parody of what your a...

Re: Kai remastering: What the hell happened?

Again, I'm not just talking about the amount of dirt and smudges here. I'm talking about how the picture as a whole feels different in a bad way. It's especially noticable in the colors. Saiyan/Freeza Saga looks far more vibrant than the Android/Cell saga.

Re: Kai remastering: What the hell happened?

I agree - the quality of the remaster dropped dramatically after the Freeza arc. Whilst the re-animated frames were always very hit and miss, and to me, mostly always stuck out like a sore thumb, the general lack in effort involved in the remastering of the original frames in the Cyborg arc is incr...
