All Activity

it's like you could almost call it... a dark world

(it's dark because I turned off the evil lamp)

just a glimpse into my fucked up world

Take care

Aww, poor you all. (⁠っ⁠.⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)⁠っ Good night, Byakko. 😊

yeah our nervous system or brain or something broke for some reason dont know what to do about it. just everything is too stimulating and hurts and suffering from echolalia. probably won't be active for a while but idk what we will do. brain still trying to solve unsolveable unidentifiable problems. will only maybe check if there are any replies but going back to bed. all day bed ridden kind of depression right now and nothing brings joy anymore goodnight everyone

Was talking on discord, unfortunately even simply watching stuff they like together is still socially stressful for them so they can't right now And I'm kind of playing it because my friend (absolute puzzle fiend, I've solved approaching a thousand nonograms often 20x15 in size but he is several times faster than me still) is 100%ing it and he likes when I also make progress on the things he's playing (or something like that, vibes thing)

So that's what you were playing on retroarch earlier Let's watch some more dbz, and then after, we can watch Seven Samurai on HBO. I insist We might have to break it up into multiple sessions since it's three hours long

Do you want to watch more DBZ movies? I have nothing going on, I'm just playing some "Oekaki Puzzle" japanese nonograms for the playstation for RetroAchievements (but it has 500 puzzles which is a weeks-long endeavor) If you slept at a more normal time in the last few days you can likely still get back to that, seeing as the inverse haunts me constantly when I try to fix my schedule but keep waking up when I had been prior days

i don't think canonicity discussions even work in regards to dragonball. if you want to be very technical about it, super isn't canon either as it contradicts the epilogue directly already. at least GT doesn't contradict toriyama's original run of dragonball (okay it might a little, but only in ways that DBZ already did generally. it's like a continuation of toei's 90s dragonball, while super is a continuation of idk what. it's just toriyama played like 2% a roll in GT and he played like 10% a roll in super or something. he played like 90% roll in daima, but no one is going around calling daima canon (except toyotaro, toriyama's successor, who says all of dragonball is canon) gt, daima, and super are just 3 different post buu series. i also don't really know what's more tense about the english dub. the dialogue changes you mention apply to the whole franchise in english. i'd have to check through all of it but off the top of my head, gt english goku sounds more like captain planet, and syn shenron sounds less like a punitive wise but evil old dragon and more like a demonic super villian, i guess. ughh slept until 6. i've never felt so depressed before (ok actually i've felt more depressed than this once or twice) rare total motivation depressed state for me. we don't know who to even have front. we wish we could reload a previous save

Interesting stuff. 😁

Admittedly GT makes sense to go straight to, although there should be some kind of pause or in-between so you recognize it as as separate as it is to the entire rest of the fandom (GT is rarely talked about, comparatively) Not quite a One Piece-sized pause, though Definitely before Super would be good though, it's quite long and also came out 18 years later, so quite literally a One Piece-sized break would make sense for that one (though I don't expect you guys to finish all of One Piece before watching other things of course) Oh yeah, they're working on a remake of the first Super saga anyways

Maybe. No promises because Linda really likes Dragon Ball.

Anyways LOTPW must start its One Piece arc before moving on to GT... (please)

Blep!

The problem is the show is really not like that until the very end lol, it's originally more lighthearted like a kids' action cartoon, but the american localization replaced the music to make it edgier and rewrote dialogue/added dialogue during staredowns not in the original to try to make it more tense They're correct that that is what we wanted, but like... it's not what it was lol

I get you Sick intro, reminds me of samurai champloo

Being nostalgic for the stupid intro helped our willingness to watch it lol I wasn't saying they're the same thing, just an example of "canon-ness" dissuading us from watching something we might otherwise like

I would consider that different

GT is a continuation from Dragon Ball Z ten or so years later, but it was entirely made by TV producers and not Toriyama It's alright, not as bad as the reputation it has, although the american dub is heavily edited to be "cooler" sounding than it was intended to be with a lot of changed dialogue (including some kinda nonsensically when compared to the original that was just fine) But then of course there's Super, which came far later, and is canon again - completely ignoring GT - so it was a really hard sell for me who cares about canon-ness a lot

Also what is gt even about

I'm just listening in because I know nothing, lol.

No no, just the setting (following a previous fallen human's could've-been story)
