DAILY REMINDER

dragon ball/ dragon ball z stopped being good after the beat vegita and nappa

the frieza saga is when it went to shit and everybody knows it
>>
>>71612888

Yes.

Goku vs Vegeta was the peak of Z.
>>
>>71612928
Also the originally planned endpoint for the series
>>
>>71613966
Doubtful. The next issue came out the next week and started up the Android saga.
>>
>>71614147
I have a cousin who lived in Japan in the early 90s who had a friend who met Toriyama at a mechanic's shop where Toriyama was getting his motorcycle repaired. He talked to him about his originally planned endpoint for the series and Toriyama said it was the Frieza saga. But since it was all so popular he continued on.

Which makes sense if you consider that the androids are massive asspulls.
>>
>>71612888

Yes.
>>
>>71614237
Everything was a massive asspull. My friend John Toriyama said the series was originally planned to end after they collected the dragon balls the first time.
>>
>>71614147

>>71614586
The only thing they lacked was space travel. Everything else was more high tech on earth. And once Bulma's father reverse engineered the Namek ship, they caught up.
>>
>>71614586

In what regard? They didn't have space travel but that was rather lack of interest than lack of capabilities. Bulma's dad built a spaceship faster than any alien ship in a couple of days
>>
Earthlings don't even know about ki, a fundamental force of the universe. They're idiots.
>>
>>71612888
fact: Dragonball was best with child goku. Grown up goku fucking sucks, and DBZ is barely fucking watchable. Specially if you know the source material. A constant barrage of "what the fuck is this shit?" One of the most overrated shows in history.

>Don't fall of the snake road! If you fall down, it's impossible to continue your journey and also people are fighting on earth so hurry up
>"boss we need to sell like 8 more DVDs"
>"Oh fuck.. What do?"

>"BRILLIANT!"

Classic DB was full of great humor and loveable moments. Z is little more than: "THIS GUY IS EVEN MORE POWERFUL THAN THE LAST GUY!" kai was alright doe.
>>
>>71615169

you say db was full of humor and loveable moments but prefer kai over Z, even though kai is the same as Z without the fun and humorous filler episodes

Nah m8. >>71614586 is right
The other races had sick healing technologies and whatnot, able to bring what was one kick to the shin short of being a mangled corpse back to life, tons of space travel fast enough to reach other inhabited planets, fucking magic eye pieces that can read peoples power that only got obsolete by plot power shenanigans,

I'm pretty sure the only actually advanced thing on Earth is the shit Capsule Corp. comes up with. They're like Dragonball Google. If you look at the actual technology, their vehicles, their houses and their hospitals, they're all rather low tech. I think later they go a bit more wild with hovering cars but still. before the android asspull, earth technology was pretty fucking clunky.

And Namek makes no fucking sense whatsoever. Somehow they have incredible space faring technology, but the planet only seems to have a couple hundred inhabitants at best most of which seem to be monk-like farmers working the land and such. There is nothing that looks like any kind of civilization or sign of industry that could have actually produced this technology.
>>
>>71615169
The problem with Z was the filler. But I prefer the more serious tone it had in all moments. Fights were still fun but had more seriousness. Watch something like the fight between Chiatzou and Krillen, it's not funny.

My only issue was Goku leaving after the defeat of each major villain in Z.
>>
>>71615169
Goku and Piccolo driving filler is probably the best episode in DBZ

Yeah DB was. Classic DB. not Z. The one with kid goku. where havin Masako Nozawa as his voice actress made some sort of sense because he was a kid. power rankings go:
>Classic DB
>DB Kai
>DB Z
>All the other weird DB bullshit that came out

>>71615591
I was thinking more of the general tone of the show. overall way less serious. Krillin pulling down Bulmas top, showing her tits to the old man so his nosebleed would cover and invisible enemy. Or right at the start, Goku resting his head on Bulmas crotch to sleep, getting confused, patting it and exclaiming: "this doesn't feel like grandpas!". There was some fighting in classic but I liked the overall focus on more silly stuff and jokes.
When I watch DBZ I feel like all I'm getting is "in the end we barely managed to defeat this incredible strong super enemy... BUT WAIT! THERE IS MORE! THE ALL NEW _NEW_ SUPER ENEMY! NOW WITH 200% MORE POWER!"

look how off the wall it gets:
>Goku barely manages to force Vegeta to retreat
>frieza is the ultimate power, Vegeta a mere underling to him and not even his strongest one
>trunks comes and frieza is like a fucking fly to him.
>trunks is getting bullied by androids who mob the floor with him
>androids get shit on by cell
>cell is nothing to boo
By the end Goku is probably strong enough to kill frieza on namek from planet earth without getting out of bed. I mean fuck, every single Z fighter could kill a man by snipping his finger at him. Imagine Boo fighting first visit Vegeta. It's a fucking joke.

the argument was that earth is basically a backwater planet with little to no technology worth mentioning (the only truly great thing is the capsule technology) The Tuffles put earth even more to shame.

>>71615949
Oh I'm aware of that. The "Asspull" here is not "there are androids" the asspull is "There are suddenly androids that are WAY more powerful as any of the Z fighters or at that point established ultimate forces of the universe"
Which is a pretty big asspull.
>>
>>71615949
yeah but they weren't overpowered to the point of easily beating a super saiyan who easily beat the strongest being in the universe.
>>
>>71615571
>And Namek makes no fucking sense whatsoever.

Wouldn't be more of an asspull than anything else in Z.

Another thing I hate about dubs. I get that you can't 100% match what was said originally (just as you can't 100% import the dialogue from the manga into the anime) but often I feel like they just think "ahh fuck it, let's make shit up for this sideshit and only try to get the main point across for the main bits of story"

Something Something the ship did it to him because high gravity.

Still makes more sense than a big guy admitting literally everyone into the afterlife at a desk.
>>
I wonder how many more forms Goku is gonna have by the end of Super

He'll probably be at God 5
>>
>>71616918
I think the manga even specificity says that he did it himself by shooting energy shit at himself and nearly dying to them. Which has to be the most retarded way to train in a spaceship anyway.

As for the big guy, I always Imagined the big guy was just a sub division and there were likely billions like him to admit the souls. I think goku even was surprised at meating him again one time.
Or if it's really just him and he's like an average earth bureaucrat, then he's likely just shy of reaching souls that died just before the bronze age. Maybe that's what purgatory's like? Everyone waiting their turn to be let in by a single worker.

Frieza Saga was way too long. It was the Saiyin Saga or Piccolo saga.

Cell/andriods was pretty good too but it dragged a bit.

The manga is fine but the Anime stretched things way too long.
>>
Yes, Dragon Ball was on a steady rise up until the end.

Z up until the end of Frieza saga is good if you want a "What If/Alternate Future" type of story.

I don't know if Kai's cut (up until the end of Frieza saga) is superior but I remember liking the original's filler as a kid.

Everything else is officially admitted cash-grabbing trash.

If you're watching dubbed don't even bother.

23rd Tenkaichi Budokai was the peak. This peak can be extended back into the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai and forward into the Namek arc.

i watched dragon ball as a growned up

not a whole lot of meat really, it's nice to see the goofy main cast slowly expand and grow together but
i'm into it for the artwork/environments, and the generally optimistic feel inspired by the cheesy 80's soundtrack

like miyazaki, toriyama's nostalgic love for nature, and that childlike perspective of the hugeness of it all, shines through in his work, and it is contagious.
it's a lovable, optimistic break from reality.

>Toriyama was originally going to end the series after Freeza. Goku would actually succeed in killing Freeza, then die in Planet Namek’s explosion. However, Dragon Ball was so popular by then that Toriyama’s editors forced him to continue, so he hastily brought Goku and Freeza back to life and began the Cell storyline.

>>71614461
I always thought the series handled the time travel surprisingly well; it wasn't some magic fix, and ended up causing problems of its own.
>>
>>71612888
Yep.

Piccolo Jr saga was alright, and then in DBZ it all went to shit.

I would have liked the Frieza sagas if they were all the show consisted of, but then they just repeated the entire thing twice more with Cell and Buu in place.

Actually, I kinda enjoyed the Buu sagas. Nothing is worse than the Cell sagas though, except maybe the Commander Blue saga in Dragon Ball.
>>
>>71622500
Underrated. Easily best dragonkino episode.
>>
>>71625210
You can tell, too.

They have that shitty saga with "Garlic Jr" as filler, and then bring back Frieza just to piss people off.

Trunks was the only redeeming part about the Cell sagas. The Cell saga is basically just the Frieza sagas all over again, except worse.

>>71625210
>This claim has thoroughly permeated online Dragon Ball fandom, becoming accepted as simply “common knowledge” amongst most fans. For instance, when former Viz editor Jason Thompson wrote an article on Dragon Ball for his “House of 1,000 Manga” feature on Anime News Network, he made a passing reference to how “apparently Toriyama wanted to end the story after the Freeza arc”, but does not provide any source. People might not be able to tell you exactly where Toriyama said this was his plan, but they know he did say it somewhere, because, well, everybody apparently knows that he did.

>The simple answer would just be for us to say that, as fans who have read virtually all of Toriyama’s published interviews and aim to document this as best we can, he has in fact never said that in any interview we have ever seen. It is of course possible that he did say it in an interview which we have not seen, but nobody ever seems to be able to identify what interview that might be.

read your own sources idiot

Despite being filler, I quite enjoyed that one.

Something in Dragon Ball which was really good was that after a saga, and before the next saga, they'd usually have a few one off episodes to show you a little more of the world. Often it would help to transition into the next saga too, it was quite nice.

Yeah well my friend Terry Toriyama actually told me that the parasites weren't actually parasites but RR nanobots instead.

German dub is the objectively best if you speak german.

Goku vs. KP was a lot better than his fight with Piccolo Jr. The Jr. Fight was an hours of random as spills. The King fight was straight up two equally matched opponents struggling to beat the other in raw combat.

>During the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament, Goku mentions that Kami removed his tail during his training on Kami's Lookout so that the moon could be fixed. The moon is later seen, in Dragon Ball Z, indicating that it has indeed been restored.

If you disagree you're obviously a cuck who thinks that dragon ball is about fighting when it has always been about comedy.

Why would I watch Dragonball for boobs, if I could just watch Ranma 1/2?

I mean, especially in the Manga, the story pretty much wraps up after Frieza saga. Then you have time machine Trunks saying that after a time skip a new enemy will arise, and androids slaughter half of the team in one issue.

if you knew anything about torityama you would know that he was actually a fucking lazy dude who only cared about working as little as possible and get paid just enough to live on. That's why he started dragon ball, because it was a comedy manga and comedy mangas are just 18 pages per month as opposed to 30 something for serious animes. He never wanted it to become a huge success nor make it about fighting, but all the autists in the world thought the fighting was great and the editor kept pushing toriyama for more and more fighting. He hated it and that's why he tried to stop the series so many times.

Dragon ball always was and always will be comedy. Wether you like it or not is irrelevant. I fucking love it, funniest manga ever if you ask me.

Dragon ball is comedy gold. This is pretty much an objective fact. Generations had fun with it. Don't blame a whole people because your funny nerve is limp.

Also,
>gintama
>early naruto

The only occidental culture item that had me lol is 21 jump street, and maybe the first ted. Japanese people have a great sense of humor, they're much less concerned by social taboos in their creations and know what fun is all about. (letting go)
