Covok posted:

There is a trend, long running in the VGs case, of just using the Japanese soundtrack instead of the Falcunoer track.

Seriouspost, wouldn't Rock the Dragon have predated Faulconer, since it was used back when the Ocean Group was doing the voices?

The Faulconer pieces we (I?) associate with DBZ don't start showing up until after Funimation took over the dubbing.

Yeah, I've never really understood why almost every movie has Goku win with a Spirit Bomb, since it so rarely actually worked in the series.

Hell it never worked. Even against Kid Buu Goku had to get a senzu bean wish to finish him off.

The Spirit Bomb did actually kill him though. When it was used on Vegeta and Frieza, it damaged them, but couldn't finish them.

I think a lot of what happened to Gohan was Toriyama bowing to the pressure of the fans wanting to see Goku and Vegeta fuse.

Not that that excuses it, Gohan deserved way better.

I am amazed Digimon Tri is getting as much effort as it is.

Who would have thought back in the 90s that one day, Bandai would be giving the most amount of work to DIGIMON over Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Z

It might actually be as simple as "this is a series so it gets X yen, this is a group of OVAs so it gets Z yen."

That's not even really what's going on with Tri though. Digimon Tri is basically just a 24 episode series broken up into the movies. Crunchyroll still shows them AS episodes, so they're not simply OVAs.

Which makes it hilarious and head scratching to me.

I know that Tri was originally going to be a series and they changed it to be an OVA, maybe that was to get more money?

Near as I can tell, Toei Animation is working on Dragon Ball Super, Sailor Moon Crystal, One Piece, Go! Princess Pretty Cure, Robot Girls Z+, World Trigger, and Digimon Adventure tri. So that's seven shows right there, and I personally know that four of those seven are some of the worst animated shows being aired right now. They're also all, coincidently, some of the biggest names in the industry, managing to reach a global audience and capable of earning some serious money compared to the majority of anime shows being made. So I'm not sure it has anything to do with their resources being stretched thin so much as their quality levels are just really low, Toei knows they can make money on name recognition alone so they don't bother putting in more effort beyond the bare minimum required.

They also have at least two live action shows in Kamen Rider Ghost and Shuriken Sentai Ninninger.

They call him a bad father / not understanding gohan when he literally spent a year with Gohan and all Gohan could talk about was how he wasn't gonna be useless anymore standing on the sidelines and wanted to kill cell himself.

Gohan wanted his absentee and often dead father to be proud of him and the only thing that registered to Goku was "how strong are you" so Gohan communicated on his dad's frequency.

The fact that they spent four years training together and Goku still couldn't figure out that Gohan didn't want to actually fight says a lot about how clueless Goku was.

It's actually pretty easy: there are two timeskips in Dragonball, each of which is three years. Goku's first established age is 12, so he was 15 when he fought Tien and throughout the Piccolo arc and 18 when he marries Chichi.

Five years to DBZ makes him 23.

I hope Jaco never gets an anime.

It is far too good and you know it'd go to Toei. Jaco deserves far more than the studio that gave us "one chapter = one episode = zero quality" One Piece, between many other animation errors. Including this show in many occasions.

Yeah, that's an excellent point, though a rather depressing one.

I tend to forget about that when TFS completely just cut all that. I really like how they edit the transformations.

Yeah, TFS did a really good job with Cell's transformations. They all took a lot longer in the original version.

As did Freeza's.

Do we know for a fact that TP Trunks is the exact same Trunks from the original timeline? I mean, we have four timelines in our main universe and 12 universes total, so the TP Trunks in Heroes could be a totally different Trunks from the TP Trunks in Xenoverse and a different Trunks from Future Trunks.

I'm fine with TP Goten existing, because it means TP Gotenks exists and that's awesome.

Prior to SSJ3, both Goku and Vegeta had achieved SSJ2 and they fought each other with it.

Though they were still calling it "ascended Saiyan."

I don't want to say "I hope something happens to Little Green so that Piccolo can get named Guardian of Earth by the Kaioh's and get some special Kaioh training", but... come on, when was the last time Dende was relevant as anything other than "We need Dragonballs!" "I made some!" "Good work, Little Green!" "I hate you all."?

Thank you, I just realized that DBZA is only a few episodes away from Little Green's triumphant return.

I can't wait to see how awkward things are between him and Gohan.
