Covok posted:The thing that always gets me with early Dragonball is the Casual sexual jokes. Or just the weird sexual jokes. Like Goku figuring out Bulma doesn't have a penis because, when he tries to lie down on her lap while sleeping, he notices there isn't any bump on her crotch like with his Grandpa. Like that was a thing that happened and you didn't notice it in the United States because it was censored out. Or Bulma accidentally showing her pussy to master roshi. Or Master roshi trying to watch Bulma poop. Like the list goes on and I'm just glad that he stopped with those jokes because they're really weird for a kid's show. Or just in general really. That's Japan.txt right there. Culturally, jokes of that nature are about as weird/offensive as a nose picking or fart joke is here. It's juvenile, but not excessively lewd.

Blue Star posted:Anyway, to change the subject: I wonder if we'll ever see trans characters in Dragon Ball? Freeza is agender, we all know that. But anyone else???. Doubtful. Japan is still working on the whole "trans people exist?" Concept. The closest they seem to get are crossdressing jokes, and some crossover with flamboyant gay stereotypes.

Has there been any further word on home media releases of Super? I want to start acquiring them...but I don't know if I should get the current ~13 Episode "volumes", or wait and see if they do more condensed "Season" releases like what happened with Kai

Decided that for 2018 I was going to do a mass Dragon Ball rewatch. Gonna do all of Dragon Ball, then Kai, GT, and a Super rewatch through. Started a couple days ago, and it's amazing just how much DB has evolved since the early days. The constant humor surrounding Bulma, especially once Oolong and Yamucha show up is honestly kinda creepy when viewed in 2018.

Raxivace posted:I did the same thing a few years ago and it all came to a screeching halt once I got to GT. Well, you of all people should know my track record with "watch all of the thing" projects. It'll be a while before I get to GT at all; let alone get through it. khwarezm posted:The worst part is in the general blue saga where Bulma almost gets raped by some RR soldiers. Yeah, I watched through DB waaaay back when (I had the cool DVD sets with the white backgrounds/kanji on the cover art) and I vaguely remember that. Isn't there some gay-coded officer that Bulma tries to seduce too? RevolverDivider posted:People who say GT isn't as bad as you think are wrong, it's worse. The fight choreography alone is so pathetic even compared to the worst of Z it's incredible. I have such high hopes for the concepts of GT. Like...super 17 and the Shadow Dragons both sound AWESOME! But what little of the show I remember is...yeah...bad fights. ZenMasterBullshit posted:SSJ4 is the stupidest poo poo in the world and actively ruins the entire point of Goku's history of training and adventure. Goku and friends have always been about self improvement not through some weird trick of genetics but by actively working on the betterment of the self through training. So we go from a progression of forms and strength based on that training and mastering each tier of power and form to "SSJ4 which is explicitly about tapping into some racial, bestial potential and nature to power yourself up. It's dumb and bad and goes against everything Goku's worked for in his life. On top of that it's very very ugly and very clearly made by some lovely writer trying to be clever and tie up all of Goku's growth back to his origins in a big bow by bringing up a transformation that had been forgotten and ignored by Toriyama for decades for a drat good reason (The form served its purpose and was now just a dumb old thing that should be forgotten.) Man, sometimes I feel like the only person on the planet who loves the basic idea of SSJ4...a synthesis of Oozaru and SSJ is just such a neat idea to me

Dragonball has always been odd about form names. Didn't Super Saiyan 2 not get named "2" until Goku walked Buu through all the SJJ forms?

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:It's kinda weird that Goku, Gohan, Trunks and now Vegeta all have unique bullshit powered-up forms. They also haven't explained why the slim-and-red God form is now just in Goku's repertoire. I thought the whole point was that that form was only attainable with a special ceremony, and Goku hated it because it wasn't "his" strength or achievement. Now it's just some midgrade form before you get to Blue. And not even a necessary one, because unless it happened off screen, nobody held hands and did the ceremony around Vegeta

Josuke Higashikata posted:It's explained in BoG that he's absorbed the power of Super Saiyan God so now he can he can turn red god whenever because why not, it doesn't need explaining and is a bad form that is rightfully skipped over constantly anyway. His body "remembered" some of that power, and he was using it without turning into the red form....at least that's how the dub presented it. I've actually yet to go back and watch BoG subbed.

Legit thought Frieza had gotten completely eradicated, and Toppo would have gotten away with it on the technicality that Frieza was already dead so technically Toppo didn't kill him.

The abridged series has really changed mandate over time. Back in the saiyan and early freeza sagas it was about trimming it down, actually abridging the material. Somewhere mid freeza they must've realized that people actually rather liked their takes on the characters, because the whole series from that point on became more about DBZ comedy edition, that just happens to be shorter.
