Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
The Bojack special was awful. I think the Gast and Bardock specials are my favorite so far.

I agree. I also liked the second Broli special. I hope this one will be good, and not a piece of shit like most of them.Hellspawn28 wrote:The Bojack special was awful. I think the Gast and Bardock specials are my favorite so far.

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
The Cell special was not that bad neither. I'm looking forward how this special will turn out and I hear it's short too. I guess people will stop bitching about how the long specials are.

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
I like how suddenly everyone is saying now that they enjoyed nearly every special, funny how you go back with your word after a while.
I still say they were all slow paced, boring and stupid. Even the ones that seemed interesting had shitty art and a boring and predictable plot.
By the way, this one is already six pages long and the plot hasn't progressed much.

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
I still hate every special up to this point (story, art and/or both) except the Bardock and Gast ones. And even in the Bardock special, the art lacked a lot of the detail we see in the regular Multiverse chapters, not to mention the POOR attempt at Goku's mother with Naruto-style design and a name with no connection to the pre-established naming scheme.DNA wrote:I like how suddenly everyone is saying now that they enjoyed nearly every special, funny how you go back with your word after a while.
Kinda suprised by the art in this title page, but it already seems like they don't have much invested in this one since they didn't bother to make it a color page.
......all the remaining interest in this chapter is now gone.DNA wrote:By the way, this one is already six pages long and the plot hasn't progressed much.

All that's happened is what anyone with half a brain can already predict, like every single special chapter so far. This is the main reason that makes me dislike the special chapters, all they do is show what already is painfully obvious. "In Bojack's universe he killed everyone and won!" Yeah no shit

Yes, you haven't, I never said you did. I'm part of the Portuguese translating team. The translating teams have access to pages long before they're released to the public.DBZGTKOSDH wrote:But we haven't seen six pages yet.
Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
Is the art at least consistent throughout? If there's one thing about the specials that bugs me is the art. Sometimes it gets really wonky after a while.DNA wrote:Yes, you haven't, I never said you did. I'm part of the Portuguese translating team.

I'll leave that for you to decide, you probably have a better eye for that than I do. Also I can't say I'm paying much attention to it at all.Scarz wrote:Is the art at least consistent throughout?

Alright, I'll wait until the the first page is out. Can't really judge much by the cover you know.DNA wrote:I'll leave that for you to decide, you probably have a better eye for that than I do.

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
The art is very detailed and I really like it. Well, at least I now know that the art won't be the problem with this special.5 million years ago... pc computer on the desk. WTF.

"Five millions years ago". The translation... it's so beautiful. 
Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
Yeah, I didn't think it would, but I didn't want to influence your opinion and let your trained eye do the comparisons. The art is not bad, not very Dragon Ball'ish but not bad at all. The special itself, like I said many times, it's the usual straightforward predictable plot, up until now at least, but again, like I said, I very much doubt there will be anything surprising.Scarz wrote:The art is very detailed and I really like it.

The translations are the usual crap. I have no clue who composes the English team, it used to be Salagir himself, but I think he got someone else in charge. I tried to up the ante on the Portuguese translation, first I had the Brazilians complaining it was "too hard for them to understand", luckily they've got their own simplified version now; then one member of the team is very rude and stubborn and keeps altering what the other members do, sometimes to nonsensical censured versions of the original. I tried arguing and in the end I just couldn't be bothered anymore. There's no real quality control for the translations. I did find the whole ordeal insulting, since I was the one who pioneered the correct and accurate translations for the Portuguese version. Nowadays I just go there and check the new pages, sometimes discussing them with rereboy, one of the other team members, and sometimes, albeit very rarely, giving him some guidance.SuppaSaiyanNerd wrote:"Five millions years ago".

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
Yes! I always thought that Boo was originally born from the Ball that he was sealed later. It's obvious that this story didn't happen in Universe 18 (and the rest related to it), since Kaioshin said that Bibidi created Majin Boo by accident, while here Bibidi created Boo because he wanted to.
Well, this isn't Earth.5 million years ago... pc computer on the desk. WTF.
