Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I like Bio-Broli. It's not my favorite, but I certainly find it more fun and creative than 4. And 6. And 7. And 8. Especially 7.
Do you follow the most comprehensive and entertaining Dragon Ball analysis series on YouTube? If you do, you're smart and awesome and fairly attractive. If not, see what all the fuss is about without even having to leave Kanzenshuu:

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
That's becoming more and more popular these days. Or at least here. I do agree it's better then 4, the 2nd broly movie, and the 2nd Coola movie.Gaffer Tape wrote:I like Bio-Broli. It's not my favorite, but I certainly find it more fun and creative than 4. And 6. And 7. And 8. Especially 7.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I've always liked Bio Broli, and have always liked how Movie 8 attempts to be a proper movie instead of just an long episode.
Movie 4 is another hated movie I enjoy. In fact, it's probably my favourite DBZ movie.

Not sure I would agree that any of the films tried to be a long episode. They all have complete arcs.Kid Buu wrote:I've always liked Bio Broli, and have always liked how Movie 8 attempts to be a proper movie instead of just an long episode.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I'm a sucker for the predictable over the top fan forms. From SSJ5+, character specifics like Nightmare Broly, to more recently giving blue hair and ultra instinct to all the super saiyan forms. Big muscles and colorful hair! Not saying they'd work in any official context, but the fanarts and mugen characters are fun.
Don't know how to feel about the Gohan Blanco meme since I unironically like the idea of super saiyan white Gohan and the villainous grand priest, etc... Its just fun!![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I mean in literal length. Most of them are about two episodes long in length. Movie 8 is closest to actual movie length until BOG.ABED wrote:Not sure I would agree that any of the films tried to be a long episode.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Due to its brevity, Z Movie 1 probably feels the closest to a prolonged episode. Funny enough though, its by far and overwhelmingly my favorite of the bunch.ABED wrote:Not sure I would agree that any of the films tried to be a long episode.

I'm in the generation of fans that started with Toonami, so I totally empathize with the feeling of having "missed the party", experiencing disappointment, and wanting to experience it myself. But I can't, that's how life is. Time is a bitch. The party is over. Kageyama, Kikuchi, and Maeda are off the sauce now; Yanami almost OD'd; Yamamoto got arrested; Toriyama's not going to light trash cans on fire and hang from the chandelier anymore. We can't get the band back together, and even if we could, everyone's either old, in poor health, or calmed way the fuck down. Best we're going to get, and are getting, is a party that's almost entirely devoid of the magic that made the original one so awesome that we even want more.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Kind of strange you'd like Tokunaga's music but not Kikuchi considering GT's score was like an homage to the original DB-Z score by Shunsuke Kikuchi. But idc, not in the mood for a discussion.Soppa Saia People wrote:Yamamoto and Tokunaga rule, but the rest ? Nah. Kikuchi fits but it's not very good, outside of a couple tracks.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Not sure if this is still considered unpopular as I’ve seen it crop up a few times but—
I hate the manga’s ending (and by extension, the anime’s ending) and I think Uub was a silly idea. My main issue is simply that the prospect of a successor to Goku should have been given to a character we either had a history with (Gohan or Goten etc) or someone that he had a connection with. Truthfully, I think Goku training Pan to take over would have been much more satisfying.

I know it has little to do with anything,ulisa, but what do you think of the GT Finale? Not GT as a whole. Just the Finale.

I agree only for the Japanese version tho, the way they modified Nozawa's scream sounded a lot better in the movie.jeffbr92 wrote:Movie 5 Super Saiyan transformation was better than in the Freeza arc

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I'm pretty sure Ginga didn't even voice anyone in Kai, in OG Z he only voiced King Vegeta and Bora in a couple of scenes. Maybe Toei was just trying to save money on Kai8000 Saiyan wrote:Direction maybe?

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I’m actually more fond of GT’s finale; actually, I rather like GT despite its flaws. It isn’t my ideal ending but I like it much better. GT has the Dragonballs being taken away which has that sense of finality and then we see the legacy still carried on with Goku Jr and Vegeta Jr (though it’s sad their families grew apart)!Cure Dragon 255 wrote:I know it has little to do with anything,ulisa, but what do you think of the GT Finale?

I guess I just feel Goku and Pan would have given it a Full Circle feel. The series starts with Goku having been trained by his grandfather so it would have been a nice call back to see Goku now in his grandfather’s role.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I'm not sure how unpopular it is, but the Shadow Dragons Arc is very boring. The exact same thing happens 5 times (they find the dragon, find out the dragon's special ability, almost lose, find a weakness, and defeat the dragon), and it doesn't interest me at all until the Nuova Shenron. The Baby Arc is MUCH better imo.
