I know. But its still outdone by Dragon Ball. I was talking about Latin America in particular when talking about places where it outright flopped.Hellspawn28 wrote:One Piece may did poorly in the US with TV ratings, but it does have a strong fanbase in the US.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Pretty much the same for me. I don't know how a Dragon Ball fan could complain about One Piece being to long, the story still knows where it wants to go and that's what matters.Hyena_Yamcha wrote:Ripper 30 wrote:Sailor Haumea wrote: i have heard One Piece fans say exact opposite thing and how One Piece had better plot, storyline, characters, Villains, themes, setting and world building.
it does .
and all the side characters gets their moments to shine
overall one piece is the better anime for me however i prefer dragon ball's art-style and humour more
For me Dragon Ball has better humor, art style and fights, while One Piece has better side characters/villains, superior world building. I love both original musical scores so they are even for me.

I thought the song selected for the first half of UI Goku vs Jiren was terrible.

People saying "At this point" over and over and over and then in your dreams, more "At this point'..
It comes to the point that all you can think about is golly, sure would be nice if a random fuck came up to me at this point, that would be swell..

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I don't hate Dolltaki and like that he makes people uncomfortable. How often do you see a character that makes you feel something (not counting boredom)?

That's the point. It's a good trait in a villain.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Not sure if anyone else shares the same opinion as me on this, but I personally preferred the art in the Saiyan saga to the art later down the line (i.e the Buu saga). I just tended to like that it looked more organic and was less angular, but this is just my personal opinion, of course. I liked when the art had a mixture of organic lines, but more refined anatomy than DB.
That said, I do really like the style used in Super.

Zamasu is not only a better villain then Cell and Buu, he's one of the best the franchise ever had.

I'm not sure how thats an unpopular opinon, since a large chunk of the fanbase also agree with that...MR.Mark wrote:Zamasu is not only a better villain then Cell and Buu, he's one of the best the franchise ever had.
Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Then I guess it's just a loud minority, I might be browsing the hub of negativity aka the Super forum to much lately.
Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I definitely love art style from the end of DB to start of DBZ the most. DBZ movies 1 and 2 represent the best of that era in terms of animationFubukiFoxx wrote:Not sure if anyone else shares the same opinion as me on this, but I personally preferred the art in the Saiyan saga to the art later down the line (i.e the Buu saga).

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Glad to find someone else who likes the early DBZ art! I've always found that most people liked the more angular style shown later on.Michsi wrote:I definitely love art style from the end of DB to start of DBZ the most.

ehe, I think I just like the style in Super because, when it looks good it looks really good (I think it was Episode 114 that showed this quite well?), and it sort of reminds me a little of earlier DBZ animation (due to being softer looking).
Well at least I've got one unpopular opinion! (yay, I like something not many others do! aha) ღゝ◡╹)ノ♡

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Well, I don't. Zamasu in both anime and manga could have been developed better, I think he gave up to easy into his plans of mortal extermination.JazzMazz wrote:I'm not sure how thats an unpopular opinon, since a large chunk of the fanbase also agree with that...MR.Mark wrote:Zamasu is not only a better villain then Cell and Buu, he's one of the best the franchise ever had.
Re: Unpopular DB opinions
At least there was something with Zamasu beyond "wanting to see terror on people's faces" like Cell, that was forced.
Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Sure, but that was not Cell main motivation as after he became perfect, he wanted to test his body by fighting with strongest people on Earth.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I enjoy the first evil dragon (the 2-star Dragon) Goku defeats. His power is unique and clever. It's not just brute strength and one that allows him to fight stronger enemies.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Which is basically like an evil Goku, which is fine, to bad Toriyama tacked on unnecessary mustache twirling. That aspect works better with Freeza.Noah wrote:Sure, but that was not Cell main motivation as after he became perfect, he wanted to test his body by fighting with strongest people on Earth.
Zamasu still has the edge for giving a DB villain some layers for a change.
