I liked Dragon Ball more than DBZ and I'm loving Daima
I'm so freaking sad that it's going to end in 2 more episodes but damn, this is one of the most fun dragon ball arcs in decades for me. I like pretty much all of the franchise, even stuff like GT, but the original Dragon Ball is my favorite. I always thought Goku was an adorable protagonist and I missed the big adventures they'd have before the baddies would fight. I haven't really paid any attention to how people have reacted to Daima, I've been in my shell. I'd imagine it probably feels a lot different to people who only watched DBZ. Personally, I'm so happy that Akira Toriyama got to write Kid Goku one last time. He got a great second shot at the action packed style of Dragon Ball Z with Super, so it's feels fitting for him to take one last crack at the style that started it all. Great show so far, IMO.

>Super is over
>both the anime/movies and the manga last used him as the peak for our heroes to achieve, and not as yet another opponent
>Daima is set before Super, so everything that appears in it (like SS4) is automatically weaker than anything from the latter series
YUPAROO! CHADren? The ISOTS, now and forevermore. Not even Toriyama himself can say otherwise now (because he's DEAD).

Let's discuss Gon (my son) one last time!

CleanGOD... a hero of the halls

How come MAL arbitrarily allowed Japanese co produced anime on their platform? By co produced I mean shows that aren't just simply outsourcing the grunt work of animation to Japan, but the Japanese co
pany or sponsor must yield some creative input. Some examples
>Mighty Orbots: Written and storyboarded by Americans (many of whom would work on Transformers), also storyboarded in Japan with some designs, directing, and animation done by TMS for American network ABC
>allowed on MAL
>Ulysses 31: Written and directed by French, storyboarded and written in Japan with some designs, directing, and animation done by TMS for French network FR3
>allowed on MAL
>Cybersix: Written and storyboarded by Americans, also storyboarded in Japan with some designs, directing, and animation done by TMS for Canadian network Teletoon
>allowed on MAL
>Little Nemo: Written and storyboarded by Americans, also storyboarded in Japan with directing, and animation done by TMS but released in Japan theaters initially
on the other hand
>G1 Transformers: Written and storyboarded by Americans, also storyboarded in Japan with some designs, directing, and animation done by Toei Doga for both American syndication and broadcast on Japan's NTV for Takara's side of the sponsorship. Received several Japanese only continuations by Toei.
>removed from MAL
>Scott Pilgrim Takes Off: Partly written by Americans, almost all the rest of production done in Japan by Science Saru for Netflix
>not allowed on MAL
>Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim: Written by Americans, storyboarded in Japan with some designs, directing, and animation done by Sola Digital Arts for worldwide release
>not allowed on MAL
Tbh they ought to just allow all co-produced shows or none of them. Scott Pilgrim especially got done dirty because it has like the least western input of any of these.

Have you ever wanted to be a cute anime girl like Kita before?

>...No. No, I don't want that! Misa finding another man...?! I want her to think about me and no one else for the rest of my life! Even after I die... I want to be at the front of her mind for a while! Ten years, at least!! ...Please don't repeat that to Misa... I want her to be happy... I really do. But... AGH... YEAH... DAMMIT... ...I don't wanna die. I want to be with Misa... with Everyone.
