Dumbest thing in the world to me is how they had Gohan transform to ss2 in an epic scene with their best animation and anew awesome song....just for him to be back to SS1 again in the next episode, and they go through the transformation again in a far less dramatic way, with shifty animation and a generic BGM.

Always wondered what the duck was up with that.

Helmsphere 03-16-2018 05:48 PM

They bring in different animators for different episodes so that they can be completed in a timely manner.

You notice that alot in Super

Fignuts 03-16-2018 07:12 PM

I know that.Thats not really the main point.

They did the ssj2 transformation twice for no apparent reason.

The first transformation being so awesome just makes the decisio to do it over again in the next episode more baffling.

Yamoshi is going to be an interesting villain.

Emperor Smeat 03-26-2018 02:25 AM

Final episode of Dragon Ball Super was really good.

The twist about the wish at the end was really great.
SPOILER: show
Whole tournament was just Zeno testing the virtue of the winner by putting in a hidden rule about the wish needing to be done in good faith. He never really wanted to erase the universes but had no problem doing so if they showed more signs of greed or evil than empathy when given a moment of god worthy power.

If the wish was made for selfish reasons, the winning universe gets erased as punishment since greed was picked over being righteous. Rest of the universes would have stayed erased as the somber legacy of the bad wish.

If the wish was made in good faith, it would have proved the virtue of the winner since personal fortunes were sacrificed in favor of the well-being of everyone else. Rest of the universes get revived as the virtuous legacy of the good wish.

SPOILER: show
Don't know if you can call it the final episode at this point. After the credits there was a scene saying they would be back after a brief respite. Presumably they'll do the new movie and use that as the jump off point of whatever arc comes next in the series, kind of like how Battle of the Gods and Resurrection F were the jump off of the original run of Super.

I had no idea this thread existed here! Been a massive fan of Dragonball.

The arc finished now I felt was somewhat lackluster though, many failing plot points which did irritate me from the beginning, especially with the culmination of the final battle in ToP.

Jiren I felt was an irritation more than any, especially in the beginning - When ToP started he meditated for god knows how many episodes then fighting from 109 which if memory serves was about 15-20 episodes into the arc itself.

I thought it would lead up to him being so powerful that he exerted an enormous amount of energy causing him to have to meditate again to power up - This was not at all the case though, instead he could have stomped everyone into the ground with time to spare but it felt fake.

Overall there were a lot of great animation and moments throughout, especially the music. I had always grown up on the Bruce Falconer style of music without ever having to listen to the Japanese style - But the Ultimate Battle theme was beyond epic, probably going even further beyond the SSJ3 theme.

This guy makes awesome covers of the majority of them, just amazing.

ClockShot 03-27-2018 08:24 PM

Finished the 2nd half of Fate/Apocrypha.

SPOILER: show
I think the writers/creators figured out a few episodes in they gotta whack half the servants early in order to make the show work at the usual 24 episodes. Team warfare concept just did not work out.

ClockShot 04-29-2018 07:14 AM

Season 1 of Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody was okay. Needs to start giving out a lot more information if/when season 2 rolls around.

Want to start watching Violet Evergarden on Netflix. But I'm sick of hearing Erika Harlacher's voice be the lead female on all Netflix's anime shows.

ClockShot 07-07-2018 05:42 PM

Netflix got another Fate series up.

Within the first 15 minutes I'm totally confused about what's going on with this one.

Fignuts 07-07-2018 05:45 PM

Is Drifter any good? Premise sounds awesome.

Destor 07-07-2018 10:50 PM

Haven't started the new fate yet.

Havent heard of drifter...where can i stream it?

Fignuts 07-08-2018 05:01 AM

Its oń crunchyroll

ClockShot 07-08-2018 07:41 AM

I've heard of Drifters. Unless this is something totally different.

Destor 07-08-2018 09:47 AM

I looked it up and then remembered ive totally seen it. Its great. Its a darker version of Fate.

Tom Guycott 07-10-2018 03:38 AM

This isn't anime, *but* since it's on VRV...

They have put up Dynaman.

If you don't know what that is, it is essentially the idea behind Power Rangers, but not only done years before Power Rangers was even a thing, but done in total parody. If you took the redubbed sentai sections of PR, and crossed it with What's Up, Tiger Lilly , MXC, or Kung Pow, you get the idea.

Shadow 07-10-2018 03:03 PM

.................um. Just...no. Please no. Stop. You're embarrassing yourself.

Destor 07-10-2018 03:31 PM

This probably isnt the thread for trying to act like we're too good for anything...

Helmsphere 07-10-2018 05:34 PM

Finally started My Hero Academia this past weekend. The second episode pulled my heartstrings so hard.

Destor 07-10-2018 05:54 PM

I tell everyone that they MUST watch the 1st 2 eps if they want to give MHA a shot. Shows quality is outstanding

Helmsphere 07-10-2018 06:02 PM

Yes it is. I will more then likely watch a few episode tonight before going to sleep. Basically got to the part where he makes it into the academy and is about to start school.

Helmsphere 07-10-2018 06:04 PM

So apparently, they are trying to make Broly canon in Dragonball...

Truely don't know how I feel about that.

Destor 07-10-2018 06:38 PM

Ive heard a lot of criticism but ii dont get it.

Shadow 07-10-2018 07:22 PM

Its mostly because Broly is.....god awful. Just plain bad bad bad. Let's see what Toriyama can do with him.

Destor 07-10-2018 07:30 PM

Juggernauts can be fun. I dunno.

Helmsphere 07-10-2018 07:39 PM

But a Juggernaut motivated over a Crying Baby?

Fignuts 07-10-2018 07:50 PM

"But....that's so dumb....but....he's so freaking cool!"

Fignuts 07-10-2018 07:51 PM

Most of Dragonball z is comepletely fucking stupid, so broly's motivation doesn't bother me.

Destor 07-10-2018 08:41 PM

No more lame than fusions.

Destor 07-10-2018 08:41 PM

"If we do a dance we form a new sentient being"

Destor 07-10-2018 08:42 PM

...ok...?

Giant muscle-bound psychopath who is overpowered even by Dragonball standards whose sole motivation is screaming Kakarot

It's fine. His power is MAXIMUM!!!

Destor's right, y'know.

I just suggested it. You don't have to go watch it. It isn't for everyone. For me, it's a childhood reliving bonus for me I tangentially got on a subscription service I picked up primarily for the anime selection (and Bravest Warriors). It's kinda cheezy, but what do you expect from the late 80's?

Fignuts 07-11-2018 06:16 AM

I think freizas death ball inexplicably sending bardock back in time to save a village of aliens drawn by a 5 year old takes the cake for dbz stupidity.

Even so, Bardocks SSJ super in Fighterz is still rad as fuck.

You're talking about Dynaman and saying that's what inspired Power Rangers. It was Fiveman that was what Saban saw that got the juices cooking. In fact, he wanted to do Jetman as the first Power Rangers but then Zyuranger showed up and well nuts to that. Dinosaurs>Birds.

Fignuts 07-11-2018 05:46 PM

Oh shit, shadow was actually calling out his nerd knowledge!

He flipped the script on all ya'll!
