Well, some doujin are for sale in graphic novel format. So, I guess he's saying it's a plus.
IMO, it looks pretty good; and once you get past the "Broli's in it" part, the story's okay so far. Hopefully "Naccolo" doesn't turn out to be a rehash of the Piccolo Daimao (spell?) arc.
[quote="Brakus"]For all the flack that FUNimation gets on this forum for their quote about DBZ, there's some modicum of truth to it: a 9-year-old is born every day. Or in some cases, "reborn". DBZ may be a kids' show, but it's been so close to so many hearts all over Japan, America, and quite possibly, even the world.[/quote]

Well as of so far, Broli isn't in it, and I would hope Toyble would have the good sense to keep him out of it.

But there are probably five billion people who disagree with me, so whatever.

I was referring to Dragonball RN, not Toyble's work.

Whoops, I got my wires crossed, I guess my brain can't handle two doujinshi topics :(

Any fan manga that starts after GT will suck. GT went no where, and it's ending was as shitty as the rest of the show. Hint for all future fan manga authors: have it start after Z! There are so many more places to go with it!

They need to ditch the non-canon characters like Burori, and maybe invent new ones. I'm also not a fan of the artwork, it's too funky. And this manga was obviously made by an American group.

Who's Burori?


Anyways, I have no artistic skill, but if I had to do a fancomic, I'd probably do something like Dabura's son coming for revenge and bringing demons with him. Or maybe something set like 100 years after DBZ, with various descendants fighting.

Sorry, Broly. Burori is the directly translated version of the romanization of his name.

If I was to do a fan comic, I'd either make Goten the main character on an adventure, or I think it would be cool to turn the Super Saiyan back into a legendary status somehow.

Are you sure that's not just you being picky.
