Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I enjoy the Saiyan Arc and Buu arc better in the anime, but I like the Freeza and Cell arc better in the manga.
Granted, I don't think that's too uncommon, but it's probably not an opinion everyone shares.

I know and I apologize. I notice that I've been annoying myself with it lately as well it's giving me a headache. My apologies.

Sorry for not responding to you ABED, and you're right, it's not fair for me to generalize the fandom, when not all of them are idiots.

Another host of unpopular opinions:
- Not sure how unpopular of an opinion this is but K/18 is the worst of the official couples. B/V is bad too (not to mention overrated) but it at least gave us Trunks and help develop Vegeta as a character but K/18 was just "Oh look guys Kuririn's married! Oh and look he's 18's bitch."
- I think Chi-Chi is more accepting of her family and what they do than she's generally given credit for. Granted she's portrayed like an almost parody of an overly-strict education-minded Japanese mother, and may not have agreed to Gohan's training but she's allowed it and even supported it especially when the circumstances called for it.
- Last House doesn't start sucking outright until after the Cell Saga.
- DBZ is the most overall well-animated of the three shows. Dragon Ball is nothing special save for some of the later story arcs, and GT is ugly as hell (not to mention Last House took a turn for the worst by then).
- I like Studio Live and think they're an okay animation team for Dragon Ball outside the Freeza Saga and certain filler.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I think I agree with you! Or at least I liked the Freeza and Cell arc better in the manga. I really enjoyed a lot of the filler in the Saiyan arc in the anime, especially Gohan's training and the Saiyan history, but really like how quick it moves in the manga. It doesn't matter! I love them both! I just finished reading the manga a few days ago, and it went from my least favorite Z arc in the anime, to my favorite arc in the manga! Sadly, my favorite arc in the anime, the Boo arc, was my least favorite arc in the manga, and it killed a little piece of me. After Super Boo murders Smitty, I didn't enjoy it that much.Patrick wrote:I enjoy the Saiyan Arc and Buu arc better in the anime, but I like the Freeza and Cell arc better in the manga.

Yes we are.DBZAOTA482 wrote:Forgiven. We still cool, right?
Anyway, responding to theses.
I think a fan actually told me that the sole reason of Toriyama pairing Krillin with Android 18 was because Krillin was his favorite character and that he wanted him to be "happy."Not sure how unpopular of an opinion this is but K/18 is the worst of the official couples. B/V is bad too (not to mention overrated) but it at least gave us Trunks and help develop Vegeta as a character but K/18 was just "Oh look guys Kuririn's married! Oh and look he's 18's bitch.
I agree. I also though she was kind of soft when it came to Gohan, despite naysayers who think otherwise. I mean, I noticed that Chi-Chi never punishes Gohan when he breaks a rule, like how he yelled at her when he wanted to go to Namek because of her nagging and she was shocked instead (and fans actually expected her to physically discipline Gohan). Also, in the Super Android 13, when Gohan ignored her and went to help Goku, and he never got punished for it.I think Chi-Chi is more accepting of her family and what they do than she's generally given credit for.

I kind of agree, but I hate how in the Frieza and Cell Arc, the animation changes depending on the episode. At first, it looks attractive, then it gets ugly.DBZ is the most overall well-animated of the three shows. Dragon Ball is nothing special save for some of the later story arcs, and GT is ugly as well (not to mention Last House took a turn for the worst by then).

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I'm actually a big fan of all the couples! I think that each partner complimented each other perfectly! Throughout Dragon Ball, Kuririn would talk about how he wished he had a girlfriend and when they faced a great danger, one of the first things that came to mind was that, he wouldn't be able to have one. I was happy that he got such a strong, beautiful, and confident wife, to compliment his nervousness, runtish appearance, and weakness (compared the company he was with mostly).

Pretty all the couples in the series were rushed together except for Gohan and Videl's relationship, and the ones that are played solely for laughs.MediaFanGirl93 wrote:I think a fan actually told me that the sole reason of Toriyama pairing Krillin with Android 18 was because Krillin was his favorite character and that he wanted him to be "happy."
Last one never happened (it's from a movie and not a good one at that) but I don't think Chi-Chi really took it sitting. She still tried to stop him, and pestered him about summer school when he was in the hospital. Also, Gohan didn't yell at her because of her nagging.

The entire anime series had the varied animation but I guess it just stood out more for the later Freeza Saga (around the time Goku goes SSJ) and certain points of the Cell Saga.I kind of agree, but I hate how in the Freeza and Cell Arc, the animation changes depending on the episode.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I actually thought that the anime did a better job of developing the relationships than the manga, even though they were rushed together.DBZAOTA482 wrote:Pretty all the couples in the series were rushed together except for Gohan and Videl's relationship, and the ones that are played solely for laughs.
For the scene in the movie, I thought that Gohan already promised to go to summer school, and while she did pester him about it, she never mentioned how he deliberately disobeyed her. My actual head-cannon of that last scene in the hospital is that she got over it and was just happy her husband and son survived the battle. Also, I personally liked the movie, why do you dislike it?Last one never happened (it's from a movie and not a good one at that) but I don't think Chi-Chi really took it sitting. She still tried to stop him, and pestered him about summer school when he was in the hospital. Also, Gohan didn't yell at her because of her nagging. He yelled because she said something bad about Piccolo, which angered him (and Goku).
Oh, and about the "hospital/namek" scene, I do think I read it in the manga and remembering Chi-Chi telling Gohan to "forget Piccolo" and Gohan yelling at her after that. I was referring to the Funi version of that scene when I said that. (to be honest, I like the Funi version of that scene better, because I felt it was wrong for Chi-Chi to mention all the studying he was going to miss when he left).
To be honest, I love the animation of the Buu Arc a lot better, even if it had its few errors.The entire anime series had the varied animation but I guess it just stood out more for the later Freeza Saga (around the time Goku goes SSJ) and certain points of the Cell Saga.

Goten and Trunks got spotlight for 4 1/2(5 1/2 counting YSGAFR) straight movies. Which help me realize Goten is my favorite character. Hell even in BoG Goten was the GOAT.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
But that's objectively wrong. Do you mean that it's your most favorite? Because it's my 2nd favorite saiyan form, after "false" Super Saiyan from M4.

Herms wrote:The fact that the ridiculous power inflation is presented so earnestly makes me just roll my eyes and snicker. Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

Stronger than SSJ
Not strain on body.
Seems pretty good to me. I would say SSG is one the overall best but it's pretty much just like SSJ3. Replace the strain with the timelimit. Now Goku keeping the power was just for Goku(And Vegeta most likely) since the original SSG didn't keep it.
Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I think that while the BF score may not be the greatest in the anime, it's absolutely great for the LOG games.
