Let's Prove Dragon Ball is the best! Anime-Manga Cup 2011

Post by thegluestick1 » Mon Jan 10, 2011 6:07 am

Hey guys,
So I found out about this the other day and thought you guys would be interested :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QN4VY6JJfHc

So basically its a debate tournament between 8 teams, each supporting one of the most popular Shonen series. Figured we could put together a kick-ass Dragon Ball team?

Anyone up for it? Arguments will be based on canon so no filler or GT crap :P

UPDATE: The deadline for audition has been extended to Early February

Dragon Ball versus a bunch of recent shonen, there's no bias at all.... :roll:

But seriously I know these series are popular but I'm pretty sure there are more popular ones that aren't the hot, new thing. It's really unbalanced. One Piece is the exception; started '97, surpassed DB in terms of manga sales, it's good, etc...
If you're not here soon... GET ON!

Mmmmm, well ShunketsuXZ (the guys running it) said they might remove Fairy Tail and Bleach because of this. They'll probably replace it with one of said "more popular ones".

Soppa Saiyjins from Dorgou Ballru Zetto is my favorite transformation everah, especially when Trounksoru did it in front of Seru and when Bejita did it when he faced Jingonigen-hachigo. But for real, I use the FUNi pronunciation. - Soppa Saia People

Have fun though. <:O
No, I'm pretty sure there were series before Dragon Ball. :wink: Plus, most successful? It's up there, but hardly the most.

You see, that's the point of the cup. To prove to others that Dragon Ball IS the best. Someone with your conviction would be a real asset to the team. Why not audition?

That would be your opinion. To each their own. Lol
Um, success isn't based on opinion. It's based on how well it does in sales. And though its makes a heckuva lot of money, its not the most successful.

This can easily be summed up with: Dragonball > all.

The end. :mrgreen:

Tell me more about this, the video is too long.
Well the video states, "Arguments need to be based on the manga" which GT was not part of. Although the title is kinda misleading, since the title is Anime-Manga Cup, but if it's only manga based facts it kinda defeats the purpose of having Anime in the title.
If you're not here soon... GET ON!

It's damn well near the most. The only series that can rival it is really One Piece and that's only in manga.

The Anime series gets more views than Dragon Ball Kai, every week.

Remember, fans of other series are going to be thinking the same thing!
Your support for the series shows that you're exactly the sort of person who should audition :)
