This is an extremely embarrassing post.

Still cute, fun. Actually laughed out loud at Goten casually picking up the truck, and the timing of that whole sequence after Trunks had been so careful to not reveal his strength. Otherwise though ... I think I have about one month left in me for this story, as the formula of encountering a new an...

Still it’s kind of like if you did it once and didn’t come clean about it then ppl will call into question your work everytime cause how can we be sure that it’s 100% from you. There has been tracing in the last arc also Maybe not from manga but that whole stupid flying train fight scene from the l...

Toyotaro wasn’t let go for tracing the V-Jump cover (and yes, it was traced, with elements slightly rotated here and there; there’s been enough 1:1 comparison to put that to bed) because it wasn’t a liability in the same way Yamamoto’s catalogue was, and it’s as simple as that. Obviously both are wr...

I hadn’t spotted the parallels between Goichi and Elec until you pointed them out! Well-noticed!

I also hadn’t caught Freeza undermining the Heatas’ pretenses on both the strength and intel fronts in his appearance.

Ideally? Sure! I don’t know how hot a take this is, but I’m of the opinion that Super Hero is in the running for the best-looking DB animation period. The process used for the film captured Toriyama’s style incredibly well, and allowed for complex, interesting, fast and weighty action. Realistically...

And you people please don't start with "GT is not canon". They (Toei and Toyotarou) are clearly considering it as a "future" even if it doesn't fit now (everything could be retconned and rewritten, it's fiction). I … really don’t think this is true, considering both Toyotaro and...

Double-posting now that I’ve finished the episode. I have been censored by this just not coming up last episode, but I like the Granolah arc much more than Moro, so that’s one of the three for it out of the previous episode’s crew. More interesting character beats, more character-driven, bolder with...

Re: “Why is Viz doing that?” The inner dust jacket illustrations in the Japanese release always contain an illustration of the volume’s spine-art character, which Viz repositions to the back. Unfortunately that means losing the actual back-cover illustrations from the Japanese release though (along ...

Not to split hairs with VegettoEX , but I think “filler” in the broader TV landscape as meaning “inconsequential, episodic story in the midst of a season arc” has more storied history than the narrow anime-fan redifining as “added, original material around a manga adaptation.” Regardless, though, wh...

Does "Trunks the Story" count as a flashback in the original series? If anything I might bring it up as an example of just how reticent Toriyama is to use flashback during the original series. It’s such an exception, it can only happen in a bonus chapter! Everything we get on Trunks’ past...

Comparing anything Namek-arc onward in Z , I’d take Live every single time. The angular style certainly stands out, but I never had much of an issue with the way their episodes moved. On the other hand, Last House’s animation becomes increasingly abysmal, and more than anything, I just can’t stand t...

I have always thought that Jiren didn’t want to be directly responsible for the destruction of multiple universes so he only eliminated people when it was necessary. Toyotaro could have drawn a depiction of him saying so in one panel before continuing to fight Goku. For example: Belmod telepathical...

Piccolo’s confusion over the live sound-effects, Shen-Long’s rapid fire, dramatic granting of Bulma’s superfluous wishes, the quiet revelation that the Gammas were actually producing holographic sound effects, and numerous instances of Pan faking being in danger got me. Plus just the little bits of ...

Here is a question, was it Toei or Toriyama who wrote what Goku said in the movie? I always assumed it was Toei, since Toei can't get enough of Goku being dumb and clueles, even going as far as contradicting DB which was written by Toriyama. However I heard Toriyama is the only one that wrote the m...

…? He eliminates a few fighters at the beginning—not wanting to waste unnecessary stamina, per his later words (and he withdraws from the action while the “invisible” Universe 4 fighters are active until he can ascertain what the situation is)—and otherwise he’s battling Hit and Goku the whole time....

Eh. Unless it just barely overlaps at the very end, that's less exciting for me. We already saw Super Hero and it doesn't need any edits. But I'm guessing there won't be too much overlap? Also, it seems like it'll probably be a relatively short story, which I'm good with. I’d really rather just hav...

So, having looked more closely at the teaser page, it’s actually advertising itself as “covering the film starting with prequel events.” So … not really clear how much and in what form, but it’ll at least be tackling the movie events somehow without just being a full arc set before it. That’s a lot ...

Not … feeling too enthused for this, since they show up in both Super Hero and the original epilogue in such minor roles. With this being a prequel to both, we know nothing radical can happen. It could be a fun enough one-off, but it’s limiting itself so much out of the gate, even in terms of how mu...

Those flurries are drawing on similar panels in the manga—showing two characters exchanging blows accompanied by a cluster of other impact starbursts, etc.—and I think that, while they can be overused, they’re a really effective and distinct way of illustrating the speed of Dragon Ball ’s battles. A...
