I would take this statement so much more seriously if the anime actually supported it visually by removing auras which they don't. But Toyotaro, the guy who never talked about ki leaking ever in the manga IS gonna do right by it with CSSBlue. What the ass.

When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

You've gotta pick your poison on this one. On the one hand you have the auras, on the other you have the lack of explanation on how Goku can still use Super Saiyan God or how Blue works at all.ekrolo2 wrote:I would take this statement so much more seriously if the anime actually supported it visually by removing auras which they don't.

Re: Things that grind your gears
I'd prefer a manga style system for the transformations. Really, a lot of the problems with regards to how Goku's power even works comes from the messy SSGod absorption business. Getting rid of that and just having God & Blue be the two strongest one's while the old one's stick around would get rid of a vast assortment of issues. 4 didn't magically delete the past forms when it debut after all.BlueBasilisk wrote:You've gotta pick your poison on this one.

Re: Things that grind your gears
It's a mess either way because the BoG chapters say the God ritual is temporary but then he has it anyway. I think the real problem is the half-assed explanation of what Blue is in any version of Resurrection F. If it was divorced from God it would clear up a lot of issues, imo.ekrolo2 wrote:I'd prefer a manga style system for the transformations.

Not in South Dakota, anime never really boomed here as it's mostly farmers up here or manufacturing.

Re: Things that grind your gears
I'm assuming when you mean with changing location you mean an online profile? If so I would recommend mentioning you are an anime enthusiast or something that makes it sound casual for people to have an idea of who you are but not to make it the only thing about you so they don't think that is the only thing you can talk about.Daimo-Rukiri wrote:Not in South Dakota, anime never really boomed here as it's mostly farmers up here or manufacturing.

Re: Things that grind your gears
Depends on the subject. Like if your nerd in the fact that you play video games, watch anime, really into pop culture, or just stuff like that, then yeah, but if your a nerd in the sense where your super into science (not to sound like an elitist, but like actually science), literature, or just stuff like that, that stuff still isn't to popular. Also the word nerd grinds my gears. Like geek is funny, but nerd ? Nah.rereboy wrote:Being a "nerd" or a "geek" has never been more mainstream, though.Daimo-Rukiri wrote:You know what grinds my gears?

Re: Things that grind your gears
When people say BOG and ROF stuff is from DBZ and not from DBS because both stories debuted first in two (recent) DBZ Movies, even though there's nothing about those events in the original manga, DBZ/Kai, the old Toei Movies, and they are the core part of DBS story. If anything, it's right to say those stories are not exclusive to DBS but even so they are more from DBS than they will ever be from DBZ.
A world without Dragon Ball is just meh.

Comments about the slight shift in art style as an indicator characters have got weaker. "Oh he is slightly slimmer and that could indicate..." So did Jonathan in Araki's modern art but you are to believe that he has the same body as he did in 87'

People who hate on the Japanese soundtrack. That’s probably my biggest gripe with all of fandom.

Re: Things that grind your gears
New thing that grinds my gears: people constantly defending any new transformation Universe 6 gets with "well, Goten and Trunks unlocked SSJ and they were kids." I don't know what the popular opinion is, but I have NEVER regarded Goten unlocking SSJ because he got a little scared of his mom as good writing. Defending universe 6's transformations with something that I would say is bad writing is not a good argument. If you're fine with or don't care about Universe 6 unlocking the forms, that's fine. If you want to defend them attaining these forms, go ahead; there's evidence you can use for that purpose. But for the love of Dende, stop using Goten and Trunks as the "be-all, end-all" defense; it's not.
"If you notice this and understand that it's flawed and just don't let it bother you, that's perfectly fine. But enjoying a flawed movie and calling a movie flawless are two completely different things."

The implication that fights or action are separate from story.
