  • Akira Toriyama’s coming back for a new Dragon Ball series

    Jump

  • 100% then. Has some great enemies, plus several returning ones you'll recognize.

  • Akira Toriyama’s coming back for a new Dragon Ball series

    Jump

  • If memory serves, Toriyama did provide character designs and the like, but yes he otherwise declined to participate.

    Is it worth viewing? YMMV. In a post-DBZ world where it was 'You get GT or you get nothing cause the franchise already ended' it 100% sufficed, even if it wasn't as great as DB or DBZ. Now-a-days with it being 100% not canon, and us having Super, this new one coming, films, etc, it can be a bit more lackluster. If you love Dragon Ball because "sweet anime fights", you'd have zero problem with the show at all.

    I remember the biggest issue people had with it (back when it came out when i was a teen) was that Goku was a kid again after a full series (and a bit) of being an adult, so the vibe was always a bit..off. Now with Muppet Z-Fighters™ here coming out (assuming it'll be good, of course) people may look back on GT a bit better, who knows.

    Either way its like 3 seasons so it's not a long watch!

  • Archer | S14 Finale Event - Into The Cold | FX

    Jump

  • They did 7 seasons of mixed adventures (amazing, but declining as time went on, still good tho), then Archer was in a coma for 3 seasons for plot reasons so we had the Coma Years™ which weren't great.., then it was back to 'normal' when Archer woke up (but obviously not as great as the original few seasons), but a return to form. Final season just finished days ago (haven't watched it yet myself).

  • Akira Toriyama’s coming back for a new Dragon Ball series

    Jump

  • Same. I still have on a hard drive old 320x240 mpg and avi clips from Japanese VHS's of DBZ/DBGT from back when we'd have to fucking import them in order to watch them, downloaded from KaZaA/Morpheus/Limewire back in the late 90's.

    As long as Toriyama is involved in it, I'm down for more Dragon Ball until I die.

    Edit: Fuck it, proof lmao

  • also seems to me that you should be able to fix them without publicly announcing it.

    You would seem to be wrong then lol. News has standards higher than Uncle Joe's Truckin' Blog™ or someone's Aunt's Facebook post.

  • ‘Archer’s’ Final Mission: Sterling and His Frenemies Sign Off After 142 Episodes of Awful Behavior. We Will Miss Them.

    Jump

  • I definitely recommend it. The 3 coma seasons were low points (tho imo, they got better [season by season] as they went on), but the post-coma seasons, while not as good as S01-S04, are still really good and it's great to see how people have developed (or not) over those years. Only downside is not much Ray in the later seasons as Adam Reed clocked out mostly.
