Well hope TFS makes that joke when they get to that point in the Buu Saga

Dunno where I heard this, but I think they're stopping after Cell out of respect for Toriyama, since he was kind of pressured into continuing the comic and doing the Buu saga.

Yeah each subsequent super saiyan after Goku was lamer than the last. Future Gohan dies for future Trunks? Alright I can buy it. Vegeta gets...angry? Gohan trains or some poo poo? Then Goten and Trunks inherit it from their dads?

What? Super Super Super God comes down to fight a fat pink child, a new stupid caveman form is used but all it does is make Goku disappear, the heroes are 2 children that do nothing but goof around. The Villain is only defeated by the joke of a character from the last arc twice.

There were always weird additions like that in American Dubs. Little jokes, basically. Some of it was to add some humor to a scene, some of it was because American cartoons in the 90s hated things to be too silent.

Realtalk, watching the english dub these days is jarring due to the absolute lack of silence ever. Any pauses have the drat Faulconer music cranked up just as high as the loudest parts of the fight scenes.

Why would that person want them to suffer through GT rather than doing Dragonball which is actually legit good?

Also, I wouldn't mind them going back and redoing season 1 to get it up to the quality of seasons 2 and 3.

I kind of wish they'd take another shot at a DBZ movie, I wanna watch Stone Cold Steve Austin cast as Nappa dropping explosive power bombs on the other characters. Who else you think could make casting, I want names

Pardon if this is another dead-horse question, but did they announce they were going to stop doing the movies? I mean they just did Cooler 2: Electric Boogaloo last summer, doesn't seem unusually long since then given their production schedule.

To me, the funimation dub ARE their voices. Period. Anything else just sounds bad/weird/like a grandma doing the voice a huge man for some reason.

Only exception for me is Drummond's Vegeta from the Ocean dub, I think it fits his heel arcs a lot better before he goes all NOBLE WARRIOR PRINCE after the Frieza saga.

This is literally how G Gundam decides which country rules the world, except the martial arts are performed with special giant robots that can also do martial arts.

G Gundam has a pilot who's a martial arts master. He rides a horse.

The horse is also a gundam pilot. Its gundam is also a giant horse.

Sometimes the pilot in his gundam rides the horse's horse gundam into battle.

What I'm saying is G Gundam is loving amazing.

Gundam Maxter flies in on a surfboard, wears football gear (pads and helmet), and has revolvers on its waist.

Then it turns into a boxer like so.

Isn't his hosed up logic -- taking it completely from the linked video -- that humans are deplorable beings that only destroy and thus deserve to be destroyed?

Wasn't Goku knowing how to drive already canon or was it filler when they were driving to have a picnic and they heard the army attacking Cell on the radio?

Well the driving episode was Trunks/Android saga, so they could both be filler and still in correct sequence.

I don't watch this show, but I'm like 2 minutes into the episode and it's already packed full of references to poo poo. Already seen Frog from Chrono Trigger and Usagi Yojimbo.

e: What the hell? that episode didn't have a Vegeta and Nappa rip-off in it at all!

The characters(s) you're probably thinking of/have seen DBesque fanart of are in the Season 1 finale, Jailbreak/The Return. Unlike the episode you watched it actually has plot poo poo in it though, so fair warning if you care about that.

Also the resemblance is mostly superficial.

Why is DBS on a shoestring budget if its a sequel from like one of the most popular animes around? Theres no excuse for being cheap. Look at Attack on Titan, the animation is pretty loving amazing and high end and it was produced with absolutely no guarantee that it would ever be successful. Toei are just greedy idiots.

Because people will watch it and buy the merchandise regardless, because it's DBZ.

It's been eons since I read DB but before Z started Goku was I think the only one who could sense ki cause he drank the magic power up water or whatever. Then he died and saiyans happened and Toriyama just was just like "whatever all the main characters can do it now except bulma or w/e".

I think nimbus was faster, or at least more energy efficient before the Namek era.
