Since the bandwagon for this has appeared...

In terms of design, how would you rate the DBVerse characters ?

 

[Captain Cadaver]

Best designs for me, including non-canon stuff and in no particular order, would be:

1st form and Perfect Cell
Dabura
Taopaipai
Namek Arc Vegeta
Piccolo (Mainly his Cell Arc self)
Freeza (all forms)
5th form Coola

Super Janemba
Super Vegeta-Baby 2
Yi Xing Long (both forms)
Bunny Girl Bulma

"Luffy tasukete" or I owe you a hell of a lot? Which was the better performance?

I probably say the first no-contest, but both are gr9.

 

[Captain Cadaver]

Easily the first.

 

[Fantastische Hure]

Easily the first.

Better scene over-all as well? The first one is EPIC as hell, even after Nami's break-down. When Luffy put his hat on her head and then said "of-course I will". But the second one is every emotional too. Both some of the really land-mark/memorable moments of the series.

 

[Captain Cadaver]

Better scene indeed. The use of music especially, not to mention not being as overblown as some of the more dramatic scenes later on in the series.

Thoughts on DBM?

Thoughts on DBM?

Fanservice with laughable powerscaling and a plot that has even less originality than Super.

What is the saddest anime theme to you?

 

[Captain Cadaver]

What is the saddest anime theme to you?

If we're talking about openings/endings, Uchuu no Kakehashi (Legend of the Galactic Heroes ED 4) due to the visuals and themes associated with them. If we're talking about ost, then either "To give a Marionette Life" from Hunter X Hunter (2011), "Joe's Whistle" from Ashita no Joe or "Mother Sea" from One Piece.

 

[Fantastische Hure]

Do you think the early One-Piece anime was good? Nowadays they ruined that though. Mostly because of the pacing and the animation.

 

[Captain Cadaver]

For the most part yes, though some of the pre-timeskip fillers were even worse than most of the post-timeskip material due to introducing an array of continuity problems (eg. Zoro contradicting not being able to cut steel at first during the arc with the Dragons or Luffy generating 1,000,000 degree heat, despite being a peon compared to Akainu).

 

[Fantastische Hure]

What do you like so much about Fist of the North-Star? It seems like such a cheap rip-off of Toriko.

What do you like so much about Fist of the North-Star?

Manly Men doing Manly things. The antithesis of modern beta shit.

On a more serious analysis, it hits a lot of notes that make a series intriguing. For example, very few characters have any sort of plot armour, with most characters dying within the story arc they appear, highly different from the typical plot armour of Shonen. The world, whilst indistinct in it's different areas, is an interesting one to view due to the bleak post-apocalyptic aspect of it. On top of this, the fighting mechanics of most martial arts styles makes it slightly less of power being the only factor in battle as what happened with DB, with things such as skill and mindset playing equal precedence. The characters, whilst not all highly developed, all fulfill their use to the plot well enough, with many of them being connected to several others. That's not to say that none of the characters are outstanding, as Rei was well developed, Raoh had some subversion to his portrayal as the villain and some foreshadowing for this and Jagi's manipulations on characters such as Shin giving him a great role as a puppeteer of events. It also helps that with all characters, their motivations have clear and concise motives and ambitions, rather than just being rewritten for the plot, which is more than can be said for most series out there.

All this only applies for Part 1. The 2nd part of the manga and 2nd series of the anime retcon and cheapen so much of the plot it's almost as bad as Part 2 of Naruto and is best off ignored.

It seems like such a cheap rip-off of Toriko.

Maybe if Shimabukuro were a time traveller.

What would be your analysis on Kale and Caulifla ?

 

[Captain Cadaver]

What would be your analysis on Kale and Caulifla ?

Caulifla - Female Goku with a huge amount of Mary Sue qualities.
Kale - Slightly more tolerable than due to not screaming the same shit all the time, but far less interesting due to being just fanservice recycling.

Not even good as typical fanservice. Don't know why people keep saying skinny ass Caulifla is thicc.
