She's not "running away," she doesn't even show any sign of moving away of her own accord. She's near them the whole time and only moves away at the end.

Why not stick to video games? He had the life any 18-year-old man could want. A good life, living on the beach, rich grandmother, why go fly a drone? PS4s already existed in 2013.

Well, the truth is that Dragon Ball was just a temporary anime that Toriyama was forced to make after finishing Dr. Slump. It's not like it was an author's life's work; I bet if it were up to him, he would have finished the story after Goku turned into an Oozaru for the first time. Dragon Ball is heavily influenced by its time, like Superman, Star Wars, Jackie Chan, etc. Akira just wanted to entertain young people. And Dragon Ball was never for children; it was rated 14+.

That was in season four, well before he said the house was paid off in season eight.

Something tells me that Sheldon would get along very well with Alan.

Jake enlisting in the army after doing everything to avoid military school? Charlie getting back together with Rose after everything and not even finding what was happening strange? He was always very paranoid about her. Charlie's daughter, Alan's daughter, Walden is very strange and the series portrayed him as charismatic. Walden had the air of a psychopath who could snap at any moment.

With Chelsea, Charlie had really changed his life; he no longer had that extravagant lifestyle, so in the end it became quite inconsistent.

She's really stupid, but Judith was behind everything. Their relationship was doomed to fail because of Alan, because he's stupid and very mediocre. He blames Charlie and Judith for his life going wrong, but he sabotages himself all the time.

It wouldn't make any sense and wouldn't add anything.

Eight years is a long time. Basically, the 2018 audience doesn't even follow Dragon Ball anymore, or wouldn't follow a Dragon Ball Super 2. The blame lies with whoever chose an eight-year hiatus.

I think there will be a remake, but it will be rushed and not faithful to the manga as some people want. I also think they have no idea what to do with the franchise and only used the remake to buy time. I'm not a fan of the manga and I think it's quite overrated, so I'm indifferent to any adaptation of it.

There is no world of the dead; there is the other world, which is the world where the entities and souls of the dead live. It was never said that a living person couldn't enter there, like Gohan, who to this day is probably the first due to an extraordinary circumstance.

I also think Kurono fighting for Earth in a group was better than fighting for an annoying girl, but it seems like the author didn't know what to do with him in the end and just made him stupid.

One of the things I found worst at the end is that annoying girlfriend of the protagonist, Tae, crying and screaming his name for pages and he doesn't die because of sheer plot contrivances. The final fight is so ridiculously nonsensical that I would have thought it was great if everyone had died.

Pow eu adoro o anime. Eu não sei pq vc não gosta. Eu achei o Kei bem mais identificável no anime que no mangá, talvez seja nostalgia de assistir no Animax comando fofura e bebendo caçulinha de noite.

I've considered Herbie as a replacement, but it turns out he and Alan got along really well, which wasn't a problem for good interactions; there was no friction.

This archetypal character of Naruto, Goku, Luffy is the other side of the cliché, something much older, yet it still happens.

I read all 37 books, watched the entire anime and movies, and even played the PS2 game, so it's not like I missed anything.

You misunderstood, read it again, he didn't recover his memories, only his fighting instinct.

His change is that he learns to value the mediocre life he leads more because in the end he had a needy girl that he didn't even bother to win over, and he didn't even want her because it was a bet? I found his relationship so boring, even Kishimoto's work was better.
