A while back I read a halfway decent fan comic called Dragonball Z Elsewhere that was about Yamcha, the series' favorite punching bag. After extensive Googling and Archive.org'ing, I could only find a French translation of it. I love stuff like this and if I could read moon runes I'd probably explode over all the doujinshi available.

It's no "Cha La Head Cha La" but this isn't bad. Japanese DBZ music is really loving cool and didn't need to be replaced with some synth crap for the English dub, but Faulconer should be rewarded for doing his best.

Are the only Dragonball scans around STILL the ugly, badly-edited, mirror-flipped scans from 1998? Haven't there been a couple VIZ English releases and re-releases?

WickedHate posted:When DB copied western comics we ended up with GT, going on and on with one protagonist till nothing made sense anymore. Unfortunately, universe expansion like his is more fanfiction territory-Heroes does it well, but it'd be nice to get more plot concerning the wider world too. Maybe a couple more spin offs or some one shots, or a real sequel instead of an inferior copy.

Here's a better scenario for the Android saga: Goku dies killing Freeza, Gohan becomes the main character, the androids show up and they're about third- or fourth-form Freeza strong. (The Garlic Jr. filler saga tried to do this, and the lack of Goku saving is the day is the only good thing about it.) Now Gohan and Vegeta have to race to unlock the transformation that they know is possible but can't seem to obtain while fighting unskilled but stronger/faster opponents. Alternatively, Gero and Fat Clown remain the villains but are near impossible to beat due to their energy absorbing technology that renders ki attacks mostly worthless and puts them on par with the planet-destroying behemoths. Cell can still show up if the author feels like it. Granted, none of this could have happened had it been written by Akira "Make this poo poo up as I go along" Toriyama, but as long as I'm writing fanfiction it ought to be good fanfiction.

Mister Roboto posted:The real reason is that it's a fighting manga and making weaker villains does not work: Gero was weaker than the Saiyans and isn't remembered as nearly as big a threat.

Are we still posting origin stories? I was reading Curtis Hoffmann’s Dragonball manga chapter summaries off a local BBS years before the series was ever shown on Cartoon Network, a time when only turbonnerds cared about those weird foreign cartoons. The original DB manga is still freakin' rad.

Ranma 1/2 was my first foreigner cartoon so by the time Tenchi Muyo came along I recognized it for the derivative garage it was. That harem poo poo was everywhere in the late 90s.

It could be like how they handle the tournament in every single King of Fighters game: Mid-tier at best warriors are the only ones who bother with the finals because the strongest guys are elsewhere fighting some badass evil overlord/strange magical entity. Maybe Tapion or Freeza's gonna win this and get a free wish because everyone else is busy trying to take down the hyper-powered VeGinyu.

Spiritus Nox posted:New DBM is kind of interesting. Looks like Zen Buu's sneaking around surreptitiously giving people powerups/suggestions in their sleep. I wonder if this means fights like Goku/Freeza and Bra/Cold will actually have some tension to them - I'm tired of watching Goku win his fights in one blow. DBM Comments posted:Ah yes, Buu is being very liberal here =3 he is redistrubuting to all the poor souls, what a guy! He seems to have a lot more compassion than some of the heartless conservatives dwelling on this politically imbalanced site. As a liberal I must express my opinion, which I am so rightfully entitled to.
