The Zorak legacy of ADTRW posters being incredibly depressive and self-loathing for liking anime is probably the only thing as bad as the 2002 lolicon threads.

I'm in #parallels on SynIRC again, and I've decided that instead of a playtest today, I'll be doing system talk and character creation. So if you want to figure out how to make your punchmans, ask questions about the system, hop on and say hi. I'll be setting up a voicechat hangout thing too and edit the details of that into this post.

edit: click here and be transported to an enchanted world of browser-based voicechat.

Yeah, there were a couple of failed attempts to dub Dragonball, but until the Ocean Group dubbed DBZ, it didn't catch on in the States.

Yeah. I believe it was framed as like, the 'prequel' rather than the actual first half of the series.

Also: liked the latest episode of Super's approach to the Super Saiyan God transformation, though I find it curious how they omitted the backstory surrounding it. Unfortunately, now is where we're gonna really see how the fights will compare to the movies.

Everything changes, Pit.

Dragonball was marketed very oddly on Toonami too. They tried to push it as more DBZ and another cool action series and really downplayed the comedy aspects in all their commercials.

Her going blonde in DBS was actually pretty nice, and yeah, the transformation was extremely grandiose. Like ridiculously so. I was astounded after the SSJ Clouds had a hole and the days and seasons passed and they started vibrating the same seven shots of the characters involved for, like, six minutes.

Still, can't deny it truly felt like a god was born.

Also now this oddly makes me want Videl to have pulled a Goku - being in contact with the Super Saiyans allowing her to copy their power, or something.

I dunno, I think there's still a fair bit of potential material - there'd just also be a lot more obvious stuff that they would need to work with/around. So for example, Saiyaman: In the original series, its a goofy send up of the tokusatsu genre - super sentai in particular. But one could easily run to opposite extremes of that - make Gohan an absolute weeaboo on top of a sentai nerd (perhaps even being why Tien went into isolation), or have him working for a company in some corporate hero gig, since one doesn't have to necessarily keep the secret in a gag dub.

Though yeah I really wouldn't be surprised if they tried to connect Buu and Popo - at the very least to try and tie in a Dumplin joke.

Dragon Ball Super opens with Goku making Goten do his job and lets the child fall off a cliff as he eats.

Just a couple of months ago I decided to watch the first 'few' episodes of the Buu saga (ended up going all the way to the first few matches of the Martial Arts Tournament) and its got potential for sure. Goku, for example, talks to everyone via Kai when the tournament is brought up. He clearly is able to do this whenever he pleases, yet waited several years and only did it because fighting could happen. The deal with the witch lady also seemed to have been set up beforehand (as in, he knew he could ask for it and she'd be cool) and, again, he waited for years because he didn't feel like visiting his friends and family unless fighting could happen. There's some good poo poo there.

Oh my god I forgot about that. Maybe he got curious from all the names Vegeta rattled off and secretly binge watched the lot.

Also I just realised Goten will demand at least one Austin Powers reference.

DBZ is a an action cartoon, in context Goku is a good dad. Now please STOP coming back to this topic over and over and over kind goons.

Instead let's have a serious conversation applying real life ideals to why Fred Flinstone is a bad dad. How could he let his baby daughter play with dinosaurs? SO irresponsible RIGHT?

But he's not always the best dad...

He's not comically abusive like Abridged would have us believe, but he is not a model father
