https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ima2bNo8O9A Dragon Ball is a long running Manga and Anime series. Starting as the Manga Dragon Ball in 1984, it is a long running Shonen series created by Akira Toriyama. Centered around the titular Dragon Balls that grant every wish, characters interact, help, and fight over them and for a good reason: They grant any wish you desire. Staring Goku and his ever growing cast of friends and enemies every series has a very different tone and feeling. Dragon Ball is about adventure and mysticism, and is more light hearted until near the end of the series where things start to get more serious. That runs over into the time skip/continuation Dragon Ball Z. Now a full fledged action series about big fights and serious villains that takes things even into space. Dragon Ball GT was a anime only new series that was not received well at all. Akira Toriyama's only input was the Super Sayian 4 design, it was completely Toei made. It was only 64 episodes. Dragon Ball Super saw Toriyama's return to lead his series again. It started with two movies under the dragon ball Z title that were so well received that he wanted to continue again with a new series. In this thread we talk mostly about the Anime and Manga. If you're looking to chat about the console Dragon Ball video games here's the thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3797982 If you want just the FighterZ thread it's here: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3831421 If you're looking to talk about the mobile game Dragon Ball Dokkan Battle here's the thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3732619&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1  The current anime is Dragon Ball Super, a continuation of Dragon Ball Z. It starts before the last episode of Z and completely ignores Dragon Ball GT. It ended in 2018 and we've gotten a couple movies since, beyond that we don't know what the future holds. It is available to watch at these places: http://www.daisuki.net/ http://www.crunchyroll.com/ https://www.funimation.com/ https://vrv.co/ Buy the Blu Rays here: https://www.amazon.com/Dragon-Ball-...agon+ball+super  Dragon Ball Kai is a shortened redone version of Dragon Ball Z. It closely follows the timing and flow of the manga and leaves out the filler. If you don't have a lot of time to read or watch the OG series this is highly recommended. It airs on Toonami every Saturday at 11:00 EST, currently at the end of the series The Buu saga. You can buy it here: https://www.amazon.com/Dragon-Ball-Kai-Season-Blu-ray/dp/B0079KGANU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1522953608&sr=8-1&keywords=dragon+ball+kai  The manga started after the anime had already started airing. The anime and manga follow the same guideline that Akira Toriyama set but both deviate from each other in telling the stories. There is no true "canon" version. It is drawn and headed by Toyotarō. It will continue even though the anime is on hiatus. You can read it here: https://www.viz.com/shonenjump/chapters/dragon-ball-super Or buy it: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XH6G8PG/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1   These are the two most recent movies to be all caught up.

Only thing i'm getting is he did the overall plot and it differs from there: quote:Its overall plot outline is written by Dragon Ball franchise creator Akira Toriyama, while the individual episodes are written by different screenwriters. from wikipedia

I tried to keep the OP short,sweet, and simple any extra stuff people can google themselves. The details of everything weren't as important as getting the overall point across to possible new people.

His Japanese voice is literally just Goku's va but using a lower pitch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2fQtJR1R1M Him being Zamasu doesn't change the voice of the body.

You guys keep confusing words with sound. Goku Black Dubs voice should be just Goku's va is what i'm saying. Why would he suddenly turn British?

We'll just have to wait til the actual dub comes out. I'd just prefer something more than generic fake British voice or growly angry voice.

Yo this Vegeta hate will stop RIGHT NOW It makes sense U7 would be doing as well as it is, everyone knows everybody pretty much, especially the way they split. They also have 5 really strong fighters.

khwarezm posted:Well, presumably the other universes are meant to be in the same boat, they are entire universes to pull tough, experienced fighters from after all, and clearly some like the Pride Troopers or the Kamikaze Fireballs work specifically as a group. Yeah but as we've seen few of them are as strong as even 17 & 18. Vegeta, Frieza, and Goku at full try hard mode are prolly stronger than everybody but Jiren. Unless the next ep shows different.

I just wish Pikkon would show up in Super. The other world stuff in that filler was pretty interesting and would be a cool place to go next somehow.

You might have to do the ritual everytime to achieve SSG hence why we haven't seen it again. And it seems to have a timer on it.

Blue Star posted:Freeza's been learning and changing, though. Originally he was secure in his knowledge that he was the most powerful being in the universe, save for Beerus, so he didn't train or feel like he had to train. But then he got beat by Goku. When he got resurrected, he learned the lesson that he needed to actually train and put in the work to acquire true power, but he got overconfident again and didn't take the time to master his new level of power. But now he has learned to control his power and pace himself, and now has a much higher level of control and finesse. Notice how he can now stay in his fourth form, even though his fourth form is, like, 10,000x stronger than it was before. He probably will never need to go back to his first form ever again. Frieza stayed in first form before to hide his power because he never needed more. It wasn't to control it. It was more of an intimidation thing.

17 shows up as part of some of 18 attacks. Guess they needed more women and just picked 18 and having 17 too would be kinda redundant.

Both Vegeta voices are great. He's really the only one that both got perfect. Buu's Japanese voice is wonderful and his English one is in a long line of annoying sounding characters that I wonder why they give them that voice.

Cease to Hope posted:the CR subs aren't great but I guess that's unavoidable with simulcast What are the good subs? Legit asking. This reminds me of TV Nihon Vs Over Time when it comes to Sentai subs. Over time doesn't do direct translation and tries to fit it in our language while TV Nihon does (bad) direct ones. Of course TV Nihon is more popular. I think? Idk these days. RBX fucked around with this message at 13:48 on Aug 25, 2017 |

I don't like DBZA that much but stopping before even finishing the series is a dick move so it gotta be a c&d or somebody's family all mysteriously died at once. If it was personal I'd think they'd at least end it to shut up the fans.

That's obviously fake because of "super Sayian season pass" and trying to place when the story happens as if anyone put that much thought into it. The towa stuff could be true as they keep pushing them into everything, the multi timeline stuff, and the enemies look possessed by her. On the other hand those characters suck.

I'm just waiting until the real poo poo goes down at this point. The recent episodes are fine but seeing Base Goku and Vegeta fake being in peril is getting old. They really should've scaled this down a bit or something so it doesn't drag as much. What if it was 6 fighters from each universe. Frieza, Piccolo, Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, and maybe Buu or 17.

I can like the show and still point out the bad/pacing issues. Believe me I complained all the time during the OG run. The Buu saga was brutal week by week.
