Are there any notable differences between the single dvd version of “A Hero’s Legacy” and the version included with the season sets? I bought all the gt singles and I’m curious if FUNi applied their “special sauce” DNR to the special like the series.

I'm not sure if the version in the green brick set is any similar or different from the single compared to the show itself.

I'm planning on watching Dragon Ball Super and some other anime. I'm planning on streaming them through Crunchyroll and FUNimationnow via my Roku. What have your experiences with those two streaming services?

Crunchyroll is pretty good, but the ads are very annoying, if you don't pay to get rid of them. They can take some time to load and I've had the same ad show up multiple times in a row.

This year I'm planning on delving into more anime, but I don't want to watch just Shonen titles (though I'm not opposed). Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thus far, I'm thinking of watching Lupin III and Fist of the North Star. Keep in mind, I'm going to be using streaming sites.

If you havent watch it yet, there's a series called Monster by Naoki Urasawa, going by what little i know about you from here, I think you'd love it man ( it's top 3 for me). It's about 60+ episodes long, so its not a drag to get through. It's a Crime/Drama seinen anime.

Thanks, what's a seinen anime?

A seinen anime is an anime that has adult men (or older teenage boys) as the target demographic. Seinen anime can be a bit like shounen anime, but tackle more mature themes, use more mature language, be a bit darker... That sort of thing.

Hokuto No Ken/Fist of the North Star is definitely a must watch, but be aware that the official subtitles available on streaming are somewhat subpar with some unfortunate translation choices. I don't think it's enough to ruin the experience, but I think it's worth noting.

Yes! Yes to Monster! Everyone go fucking watch that shit right now. It's fantastic.

I think everyone should check out Kimba the White Lion and Astro Boy. Even if you end up not liking the stories too much it's still worth it just to see how the post WWII generation thought about things.

If you're in the mood for movies I think Ringing Bell is a good choice. These are all technically shounen (I think. I'm bad at categorizing) but they're removed enough from the modern mindset and tropes to still feel original.

And if you're looking for something more estrogen-filled Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo is all kinds of good.

Have you checked out My Hero Academia? I too only watch select shonen if I've heard great things, but I'm personally enjoying this series from where I am (33 Episodes in).

Steins Gate is good too if your into time travel.

Tylerman29 · Post by **Tylerman29** » Tue Jan 21, 2020 12:04 pm

Yeah, My Hero is one of the few other anime besides Dragon Ball that I can get into. Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood is another easy recommend. Although I'm not sure it is as re-watchable as Dragon Ball.

I’ll never understand the adulation for My Hero Academia. The characters and the animators all need to pop a xanax or 30.

The art in the manga was pretty good, haven't read past 3 though. There's way too much teen angst for my taste.

This probably had been asked before: but couldn't they just wish Shenron to bring the Saiyans to an asteroid field so they could be killed before arriving to Earth?

Or that wish would be denied because of the bullsh*t excuse that Shenron can't grant wish to affect people stronger than him?

I have absolutely no idea why they made the restriction "can't affect those stronger than Kami" and not "cannot affect those who are beyond Kami's jurisdiction."

There are still ways around that. I still prefer more or less the explanation we got where they wanted to bring Goku back, first and foremost, not because he's a weapon in their arsenal, but because he's their friend.

That one has never been verified, I don't think. Neither has his partner Yamu. There was a rumor that it was based off of a famous Russian weight lifter, but I don't know anything about that.
