re: The Official DragonBall Thread....est 2012

Super, super, repetitive.

I think that episode was 5 actual minutes of animation and 13 minutes of loop.

And did anyone catch the the new dub from last night. First appearance of Zamasu and Gawasu....and I must say, Funimation really did their voices justice. Whoever is doing the Zamasu voice almost perfectly mimics the calm, cold, almost emotionless tone of the japan sub...something that gives that character more depth and reinforces his unobjecively "HAL 9000-ish" view of humanity.

I think Gowasu has a good voice, but I never thought about what Zamasu might sound like. My first instinct was that he might sound similar to the universe 7 supreme Kai, a soft but stoic voice. Instead, Zamasu sounds more burly/brawny than I might have expected, but it seems to work and should only continue to sound better as the dub progresses.

They're probably dragging it out for money reasons if I had to guess. The leaks are out either way and the dub is on weekly still. The dub has a really long way to go.

Your shitting me, right?

And the Spoilers out there for anyone who has seen them...... Well....I just hope they aren't true because fans are going to flip their shite If what I think happens, really does happen.

The few times I have read spoilers they have been very wrong so I'm hoping this is the case here as well. Will easily be the worst ending of all the major villians/tournaments I've seen over the years.

They announced the date of the new Dragon Ball movie. December 14th

I've read somewhere it's going to be a Saiyan origin story. I've also read that we may be introduced to the first Saiyan god.

What I hate about the supposed spoilers is that the writing would basically amount to the most hackneyed attempt at misdirection, like none of us are aware that Frieza isn't sitting on the bench or isn't dead. It's such a bullshite insurance statement for Universe 7 and it comes at the expense of a character so beloved that the outcry against replacing him with Gohan after the Cell saga was strong enough to render Gohan a shell of what he should have been. Frieza is arguably the best villain in the DB universe but does he really deserve to get this pseudo-last laugh?

New Dragon Ball movie staff has been revealed.

I'll hold on on any speculation on where it might go until after episode 131. I'm really interested in how thisbstory arc ends. The spoilers are out there, but they don't tell us the happenings after the tournament is officially over.
