Dragon Ball Community

DB PeePee aside, thread theme:

Speaking of /a/, which is already a cesspool, the Dragon Ball (Super) threads are so bad they loop around into being fascinating. There's never anything worth posting from them because every thread is shitflinging and ESL psychosis, but they still deserve some mention.
 
I wasn't saying it necessarily made it more mature, I was just saying more sex and violence makes it more entertaining, to where I don't really get why an adult would bother with something that's more toned down, as soon as I learned there was sexier and edgier anime than DBZ, DBZ just seemed boring to me, like why waste your time?
Maybe I just like the kung-fu and the laser beams.
I wish these fuckers would take the central lesson of Dragon Ball's protagonist to heart:
When you get your shit pushed in, you don't whine, you don't cry on the internet, you take the L and you go and train hard and avoid making the same mistake that made you get smacked last time. These people should have fucking push-up/pull-up contests instead of slapfights on twitter.

Great read, very enjoyable OP.
They're mental midgets, that's too much of an ask. Egotripping is all they care about.

It depends which /a/ you go to. I got curious and went on /a/ on 8chan.moe and saw this gem

Yeah, I'm a big fan of Berserk, but that type of argument is pretty weak. People regularly stick to things from their childhood. Not to mention the fact that some things just appeal to people, and they just stick with it. I don't think people have to justify everything they like. The issue with the DB fandom isn't that they like a poorly-written shonen; it's that they're mentally stunted morons.

Also, Berserk isn't good because it's "dark and gritty with all the sex and violence", it's good because the story is solid, the characters make sense, and it was done by an extremely skilled draftsman.
That's what I was trying to say, anime and manga aimed at an older audience often simply offers more in the way of story and characters.

But on the flipside to that, if you're just looking for entertainment, stuff aimed at an older audience offers more in the way of that in my opinion.

Of course I get childhood nostalgia and all that.

I didn't mean to come off as overly harsh, if you like DBZ and other shows like it, that's fine, I was just saying that the people who are really into it like the ones featured in this thread come off as particularly odd to me for the reasons I stated.

I was quite hard on Dragon Ball in my earlier post as well, but I'm pretty sure most people in the thread don't actually really hate Dragon Ball. I for one quite enjoyed the original Dragon Ball anime and thought it was something sufficiently entertaining to put on and just turn off your brain to. If you enjoy the franchise, good on you, almost no one is gonna blame you for that. My biggest problem with it isn't that it's a "dumb" shounen that's not "mature enough for my refined tastes" or that there isn't much depth to it, my main problem with it when I tried to watch it was the pacing, and how you could cut out 90% of the time-wasting screaming, charging up, and internal monologuing and you would have a way more tolerable show. It obviously helps having some sort of previous relationship with the show, like if you grew up on it you're gonna have nostalgia for it and be willing to overlook it's flaws when you watch it now. Most people trying to get into Dragon Ball in the current year with no previous relationship to it are gonna find it way harder to watch.

Couldn't these horny retards at least keep the lore in mind and give Gogeta black hair? If you're going to be autistic at least do it right.
That’s one of those character cross mcguffins right? That’s literally about all I know from DBZ, save for Goku and Kamahamas or whatever the fuck they call it.

Just realised that despite the immense potential of this thread, I really have to understand the source material to truly appreciate how retarded these dudes are.

We have a solution to your problem, DBZ Kai is basically what you're asking for.

DBZ Kai is legit shit though, many of the scenes were remade and done exceptionally poorly. It was a totally pointless endeavor & warrants a fan edit where the original content is put back in.

I liked it as a kid but for me personally it was just a gateway into the wider world of anime that I never saw much point in going back to.

That's what made DBZ charming though.

I have the Orange Funimation boxsets that has the original versions "cleaned-up", and the episodes on those are WAY LONGER than what was aired on TV, even before DBZKai. Right from the very first episode, your introduced to "Gohan's Lackluster Adventure In The Woods" before Raditz starts fucking shit up.

If you're gonna watch it, I recommend getting the Dragon Box sets over all other copies. The Level sets are good remasters but they're rare, expensive & were deliberately given additional film grain to look "authentic", essentially ruining it anyway. The Dragon Box sets are DBZ but unadulterated with any shitty remade scenes, cropped aspect ratio or artificially added noise.

Remember, the orange bricks are shit, yellow bricks are good.

Also be aware that there's lots of filler in the show as it was made side-by-side with the manga, so the manga might be a better choice for you overall as it's a much more lean experience.
 
So is the dragon ball community just ran by a bunch of fat black losers now ?

While the colored folk in this community are a fantastic site to behold, I would feel sad if whitey didn't get their turns either. Allow me to show you all a more notable figure in the community. He isn't as cowish and cringe as the ones in the OP, but he's painful all the same. Also he's fat.

You can read his full dox here done by @Yuusha-sama back in 2019, most of the info still matches up as he hasn't gone on a DFE marathon.

Is that picture that striking? Well he took it at a good angle. He's your stereotypical fat fuck that wants to protect the womenz online from meanie heads. He has a sizeable YouTube channel with over one million subs.

This fat fuck who cooms over dbz chicks was on the #believewahmen side of things when weeb wars was in full swing. Quick TLDR - Weeb Wars was a shit flinging contest when a voice actor got MeToo'd by some other voice actresses and other ugly cunts and it cost him his job. Internet war went on, doxes on both sides of the camp, and a very strong reminder that hardcore, autistic weebs are terrible people and potent lol cows. Good ol John here got involved and didn't hesitate to back up the ugly fat fucks that cried rape - one of which he's hugging in the photo above named Monica Rial. A good bit of voice actors have gone down the route of being offended at everything and #blm and all that shit, as many retarded celebrities often do.

So it became quite hilarious when the Funimation leaks happened, which was audio of the ever so virtuous VA's making fag and kiddie sex jokes and the like. Prince Vegeta was ever so quick to jump to everyone's defense, as he's ought to have these VA's cocks forever embedded within his fat, stupid mouth. Video is time stamped where he's shaming anyone enjoying and mocking the leaks.


I think I know why he simps for these VA's and retarded cosplayers. His pinned Tweet is basically advertising his voice acting skills.



Now that I think about it, I've never really checked out his YouTube much. Let's take a look, shall we?

Well over 1 million subs! Not bad, John. What kind of content are you making that keeps those views coming in?


Oh.

DBZ Kai is legit shit though, many of the scenes were remade and done exceptionally poorly. It was a totally pointless endeavor & warrants a fan edit where the original content is put back in.
At the time I don't think Kai had even started airing, and by the time it did start or I heard about it I had already lost interest. I did hear that it was shit like you said though, which made me even less open to trying it.
 
Berserk would make George R.R. Martin look like a hack. If Tolkien were alive, he’d like Berserk more than him, even if he wasn’t an anime fan.

He also likely would've tried to write Miura and expound on his faith, and likely be critical of some of Berserk's themes.

Can you imagine Miura being part of the Inklings? Time robs us of truly good things.
