Unpopular DB opinions

[DBZAOTA482]

From this, we can gather that the driving episode is universally overrated, and that its actual worth has been inflated somehow.

Hard to say that when it's the only filler integrated into canon material.

Would you mind clarifying? I'm not at all sure what you mean by that. How is the driving episode integrated into canon material, and, how would that be the only example where that is the case?

Also, yeah, I find the driving episode a bit underwhelming myself. I don't dislike it. I find it humorous. But it doesn't grab me the way it grabs other people. Also, I really can't stand the art and animation in that episode.

It was referenced in Episode 172... a canon episode and there was a white hover car shown in the anime after the 3 years during the driving episode.

I actually think King Kai's English voice kind of fits him. Yes, he's supposed to be this great Martial Arts master, but Goku kinda questions it at times, which is why I like his English voice. It's kinda deceiving to his true character. Joji Yagami is awesome, that's no question, but Sean Schemmel's pretty good, too.

A lot of the slice of life episodes in Super really aren't that good. I actually don't like a lot of them.

The slice-of-life episodes in Super can be great but like most of Super it's more interested with dangling it's keys at the audience than actually doing something worthwhile with the story and characters.

The DBZ anime honestly did these kind of episodes much better with stuff like the Gohan's birthday episode and that party episode.

The Resurrection 'F' arc of Super, with all its faults, is much better written than the film its adapting from.

Recently i bought all the 3 in 1 volumes and i have to say they are excellent. The way some people complained about them led me to believe might of have been the worst edition of the manga ever.

Most of the visual censoring is gone and Viz finally removed the pointless split between DB and DBZ. Stuff like the paper quality really was nowhere near as bad either when people described it as thin i was expecting something along the lines of bible pages thin. I guess the only shame is that the color pages are missing leading to some pages looking worse then they originally did and its not completely uncensored like it promises on the back of each volume. However its nowhere near a deal breaker. Personally if i wanted to see color id just watch the anime instead the manga being black and white is not a negative in my book, plus the massive advantage of the much cheaper price point when added together makes the small downsides seem all that much smaller and is probably the best way now to introduce somebody to dragonball.

The coloring is totally different than the anime. When there's color in the manga, it means something. Color symbolizes significance in Dragon Ball more often than not. However, that's not the reason that the B&W-only is undesirable. Greyscaling is just a bad thing.

Also, the VIZBIG release has better paper, the majority many of the colored pages are intact. There's more censorship, but it's usually so non-intrusive that it's only a signifigant negative to the most adamant purist, and they average only a few dollars more a piece than the 3-in-1's. The only place where the VIZBIG's are worse is that... well, they're too big, the better paper thickness, combined with the amount of story that they cram in, results in a somewhat fragile binding, although not fragile enough that it will fall apart, not unless you mistreat it.

So I disagree, I think that the VIZBIG release is better bang for your buck.

I think this is pretty popular.

Quite the opposite, most people prefer the film.

I find the Tankobon on Kindle to be the best release. It's the less censored and I found a Kindle in my hand much more pleasing then a book.

I'm an old-timey guy, I like holding books in my hand. Maybe it's nostalgia, maybe I like being able to judge my reading time based off the weight in my hand. Who knows? Besides, if the apocalypse comes, I don't want my reading material to be limited to my battery life (yes, that is a consideration I make when buying things, it's only a bit strange).

Also, are you not a fan of the Full Color Release? I'm pretty sure it's on kindle for cheap, although we don't know what the degree of censorship will have, yet. Probably not much, since they'd have to re-color for anything major.

People prefer the film because of the animation but we're talking about the writing.

The censorship is pretty noticeable and I just don't like the color choices. It's not the original colors. I understand that for charcters that didn't get colored or were differently colored (Tenshinhan's pants) sometimes, but for the rest ? C'mon.

Here's something unpopular: I liked Cell-X's design. Thought he looks awesome, even! And I want him to appear in a future Xenoverse game, or Heroes set.

Also, liking GT is not unpopular by any means, but a family member of mine's preference of GT over every other DB thing might be.

The Full Color release is not the ideal version of the manga. In fact, I don't even consider it good. The palette is too bright and too cool, making things feel bubbly and fun even when the scene is supposed to be depressing or tense.

Oh, I certainly agree it's not the ideal version of the manga. I'll check a page or two out of curiosity if I happen to come across it, but it really doesn't interest me in the slightest. I much prefer the original colors for those chapters that are in color. And, honestly, I just prefer the clean black and white of the original manga. Maybe it's because I grew up reading Garfield comics, which were also in black and white (or at least they used to be... grr), but I really have a soft spot for clean, uncolored artwork.

[Jinzoningen MULE]

I collect them, but only as a novelty. I read through once, and then put it away, where it's forever doomed to sit on a shelf. Or maybe I'll get them signed at a convention and sell them one day, who knows?

Masako Nozawa does not sound like a girl in any of the male roles she plays.

I mean, Nozawa sounds like an aged woman, that's just fact. She does, however, faithfully and splendidly play every role I've heard her in, both male and female.
