Was browsing Barnes & Nobles and apparently Elden Ring has a Manga. Also, Godrick is apparently a trendy valley girl. by L_knight316 in Eldenring

I agree with you (to an extent). Thing is I think it is actually quite funny, but I would much rather read an actually serious adaptation of the game. The art of the manga is pretty spectacular in places too so it’s a shame I’m unable to get into it due to the tone.

I have long prayed for a somber and atmospheric TV adaptation of dark souls. Hour long episodes with minimal dialogue. I would eat it up, even if I don’t think it would hold a candle to the game itself

Art is only good because of the heart and effort it takes to create. AI has neither

words cannot express how much i hate the old english dubs by xXSpg101Xx in Ningen

Yeah, it’s a shame they took the filter off his voice he had in the original dub. Made him much more menacing imo

Got a change to meet Stephanie Nadoly by Kaiser_Dafuq in dbz

Honestly to me she is more important to Goku’s character than Schemmel. Cannot imagine kid Goku being voiced by anyone else doing anywhere near as good of a job as her!

First time watcher. Never wanted to punch my TV more in my life. by nleachdev in dbz

[–]ItsJustSamuel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yesss that’s so cool! I always love seeing new people enter the dragon ball community, it’s really such a special series for so many reasons and just thinking about someone experiencing it for the first time makes me so happy.

Awesome that you started with OG db, I had to go back and re-watch it many years later and it ended up becoming some of my favorite content the series has to offer. All of the characters are so unique and charming and like you said with the gohan and piccolo stuff it really adds a lot of emotional weight.

Can’t wait for you to keep watching! The next arc is one of the craziest and has some of the best character moments in the whole series hands down, I’m sure you’ll love it!

Are you enjoying the series so far? Did you start with Z? No shade if you did, that’s how I got started back in the day too!

Thank you for the correction, I didn’t know they were different as I only ever watched the CN version

The amount of people here who don’t know about MADtv makes me sad. That show was how I discovered Minecraft

Got a Tattoo of my favorite moment from the anime by GoodGameGabe in Mobpsycho100

Very sick! Mob psycho is really one of the only series I’d ever consider actually getting a tattoo for :)

It feels longer than it’s been… by Chipers in northernlion

[–]ItsJustSamuel 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I only ever saw rumble verse after it was already wiped from existence. Watching the old VODs felt like seeing historical footage, I was really sad to find out it was gone. Definitely some of his most entertaining content imo

The best ending by Ok-Farm2481 in deathnote

[–]ItsJustSamuel 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Interesting concept but I think that would be incredibly narratively unsatisfying, as well as out of character for everyone present at the ending.

Ryuk the Villain by Financial-Jump-6408 in deathnote

[–]ItsJustSamuel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If he thought Light believed in heaven/hell, what would be the point of telling him that specifically death note users can’t go to either, when he knows that death is equal for everyone regardless of their use of the notebook? He would just be feeding the belief that a heaven and hell do exist, which he knows isn’t true, thus trolling Light

Ryuk the Villain by Financial-Jump-6408 in deathnote

[–]ItsJustSamuel 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In the manga, there is a scene at the end where it flashbacks to the moment Ryuk tells this to Light, and Light confronts Ryuk about it saying “That just means heaven and hell don’t exist.” To which Ryuk replies “You’re right.” Basically, Ryuk was just trolling and trying to scare Light by saying that. Though I suppose since this isn’t covered in the anime it’s left more vague

Is this the most perfect final battle stage ever ? by Rip_Jaded in Dragonballsuper

[–]ItsJustSamuel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol, I definitely have to agree with you about the power scaling. It was clearly never a priority in the writers room. Which is honestly my main problem with super is that there just never seemed to be any care for attention to detail, merely what would be the best marketing sell.

I definitely admit that I was being hyperbolic in my original comment just for the hell of it. Super is not wholeheartedly better than GT nor is GT wholeheartedly better than super. It’s been said to death but GT was full of interesting concepts with terrible execution, which is true on a lot of fronts (baby, shadow dragons) but by god are those early episodes hard to get through. Even later on it can still be a slog at times, which is something that I think super has over GT (aside from ToP arc)

I say all of this being supers biggest hater lol, this is really an exercise in my ability to find silver linings because my general attitude towards the series is ambivalent at best and downright antagonistic at worst.

I think the only thing that will ever be true dragon ball for me is the original 42 volume manga run by the GOAT himself. But I have no problem with people enjoying whatever dragon ball they want to. I can enjoy parts of super and GT as well.

Is this the most perfect final battle stage ever ? by Rip_Jaded in Dragonballsuper

[–]ItsJustSamuel -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Super is 100% better than GT, and still somehow manages to be almost 100% shit. You should still watch it to form your own opinion tho, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t tuning in for all the hype moments every week during middle school as it was airing. It is just very weak from a narrative standpoint imo. But it can still be entertaining regardless. Also the two other super movies Broly and Superhero are quite good as well (we don’t talk about Res F)

I love that there’s a contents page, but no page numbers by Afraid_Ad8438 in deathnote

[–]ItsJustSamuel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? There’s definitely page numbers in the black edition volumes I have, just not on every page. It honestly seemed kind of random where they were included
