I would love it to have some interesting animation like the last FMA movie rather than the typical stuff.

 

[jaxword]

Agreed. Dragon Ball deserves the Disney Star Wars treatment.

Yeah, it's kind of weird they never make the movies with sequel hooks or intended to be trilogies. Always self-contained.

I think that's a Hollywood thing, Japan seems to avoid that.

 

[TheVampire]

I really hope we see this:

 

[Chet Rippo]

videl?

I don't remember her looking like that ever, but I guess it's close enough.

 

[Moaradin]

I really hope we see this:

SSJ3 looks so stupid...

 

[Anth0ny]

Battle of the Gods confirmed to be REAL by an upcoming Jump magazine:

What is this title surrounded by mystery, “Battle of Gods (Kami to Kami)”…?!
The film’s title has been announced as “Battle of Gods”!! Up to now, a variety of gods have appeared in Dragon Ball, but could it be that there’s a connection to them…?! Be on the lookout for further information!!

I can't stand the new artists and animators they've been using.
That Bardock special looked especially generic and boring.

Early DBZ had a lot of charm and care put into it.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Digital colouring just doesn't fit Dragon Ball.

 

[Blader]

GT dub score just sounds depressing.

Maybe that's why I got bored with it a few eps in.

I don't think GT's dub score can even qualify as music.

Agree 100%, also that gif is from my favorite episode from the series, just goku being pure badass all the time

That's just great animation. Later DBZ has it too. There's just a lot of god awful, shitty animation as well.

Pretty sure that .gif is from a Maeda episode.

I'm also not a huge fan of the new, digital animation style being used for DBZ, but unfortunately it looks like it's here to stay. I wish they would all just look like Movie 9 or 12

Good animation is less common by the Android and Cell sagas.
With half the episodes looking and animating like shit.


Left looks awesome. Right looks horrific.

And with Dragon Ball you can't just resurrect a villain like SW is doing cause in DB the heroes are a million times stronger than any past villain.

No one mention Super 17.

Main reason why I like to pretend GT doesn't exist.

 

[Takao]

I wanted to make a Dragon Ball community thread but I don't think anyone would care.

And really how often does new shit pop up anyways?

Something with a good OP.

Not something that looks like it was commandeered from some general anime thread.

 

[Jinroh]

Well, that's dragon ball. Each episode alternated from very good to very bad. Take the Cell Junior episodes for example, characters have lots of shadows on them, complex facial expressions... the drawing is perfect.

Next episode, BAM. It feels like was drawn by a 12 years old kid. And it alternates at every new episode. I think it was just a way to save costs, and there were two different teams taking care of that. Maybe someone knows the subject better than me.

That's what I always hated about Dragon Ball, excellency constantly flirted with mediocrity.

Make the OP and I'll edit it into that thread

I really hope we see this:

Oh man, that looks like what I'd imagine Dragonball in HD would look like.

I don't know what they're doing with the actual HD stuff they've done but it all looks horrible. Doesn't look anything like Z.

[edit]

Looks like people share my complaints. lol

Maeda does the best Vegeta and everyone else.

If only this were the intro then I would take it more seriously:

I actually did really like the rap intro to GT.

Just because it was so shitty.

I prefer the Japanese version of Dan Dan Kokoro Hikareteku by Field of View and that of Zard.

English is... lol

Gohan was supposed to replace Goku, but the fans didn't want that.

I thought his character was pretty consistently shitty

 

[MikeMyers]

I like Buu arc Gohan because thats when he started to develop personality.

I wanted that to happen, except his fate had already been decided when I watched the series.

 

[Galang]

Meh.. Gohan has constantly been the best part of DBZ for me. I would have loved for him to become the main character after the cell saga, but oh well. I wouldn't have felt attached to the show without him as I didn't really care for majority of the other characters.

I dunno, I thought Vic Lasagna's English take was alright: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnVqQBspgag

Audio levels have his vocals come out too much.

 

[CountBlack]

I liked Gohan went he stopped being a pussy

True, it's catchy, the quality is better in this video, but I mean I'm biased as the first version I listened to was by Field of View, and then Zard's.

In the world of music, the first version of a song you hear, is the one you're going to prefer.

This man singing, he's good, but I'm not falling under his charm.

Edit: I'm looping it right now, so it grows on me, like some sort of fungus on a tree bark.

 

[Takao]

Japanese version is superior. The backing instruments in Funimation's version aren't as strong. It's really noticeable with the opening guitar rift. I won't harp on them too much though, since it's much better than Step Into The Grand Tour, and the lower production values can be blamed on the fact it was for a DVD re-release.

This was the highlight of the dub on YTV, the lyrics were simply awesome.
So cheesy, it's good. If you wanted a reason to be ridiculed for liking anime at school, just play this on your walkman. I used to listen to this during the 30 minute cardio in gym class.

I wonder if Guile's theme would work lol.

 

[Takao]

Luckily that track never did air on Canadian television. YTV aired an alternate English dub produced in Calgary. For the opening they grabbed Dan Dan and just wrote whatever lyrics they wanted to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPDP3S4dYcY

I like this one better than the other one you posted, and I remember it too lol.

Westwood dub.

 

[Unknown One]

Honestly shocked so many are hung up on this.

To me its the only way to make the character slightly interesting. Giving him a power boost that passes up a brand new SSJ level and several years of the hardest trainig in existence just for sitting on the ground was retarded.

Will be very happy if they drop that stupid thing.

True it was a stupid power up that he hardly worked for. Goku and Vegeta trained for 7 years like madmen and Gohan just sits still for a whole day and surpass their power. It doesn't have the cons of super saiyan as well since it's totally energy efficient.

 

[Ifrit]

Ok fine.

That was a lot of fun

How many times did he have his powers awakened? Twice? Guess the first time didn't count.


Gohan is pure bullshit.

Yeah the fact that it shoots him past god damn Super Saiyan 3 is pretty silly. Hopefully they can find some way to write "Mystic" out of the story.

Or Toriyama forgot. Whatever.

wrong, brud

Well it's like he's has infinite energy. The Kamehameha against Cell he kept going pass his limits. No wonder Goku just tells him to get angry. Gohan is hax.

 

[MikeMyers]

Ok fine.

I agree, Saiyaman is Gohan's best story.

 

[Blades64]

But even when he went to SSJ2, wasn't it always hinted that he had some hidden power? I think that was it.

Mystic on the other hand, well I dunno about that. I still liked his character though...

 

[EVOL 100%]

I have to wonder if Toriyama really 'forgot' about things or if he was just trolling the shit out of people. Maybe he just didn't care and wrote the plot in 5 seconds.

 

[SoulPlaya]

Digital colouring just doesn't fit Dragon Ball.

Seriously. It looks so lifeless.
