You know what else is better than Berserk?

Isn't Guts' sword BIGGER than Kirito?

.........& Berserk is over 10 years older than SAO?

Edit: Berserk: 1989 (manga), 1997 (anime)
SAO: 2009 (light novel), 2012 (anime)

........oh sorry, TWENTY YEARS older than SAO.

SAO even handles its
traumatic rape scene
with more weight and gravitas than Berserk.

Miura just did it for shock value!





Playing this farce is making me sick to my stomach. I'm done. SAO and Berserk shouldn't even be uttered in the same sentence.

They really liked Dragon Soul. Also the second ending in Japanese is done by a fairly famous group so maybe the opportunity came along and they decided to change it.

Just sit right there
I'll tell you about the history of a guy called Trunks.

Dragon Ball Z: The History of Trunks



So...Is it wrong I found History of Trunks to be kinda underwhelming overall?

Part of it stems from the Dub-sub issue. The dub is desperately begging for a re-dub (It's utter crap). Meanwhile the sound quality for the sub is so bad that it's almost hard to hear what the characters are saying. It really kills it for me.

The other reason is because I feel The History of Trunks Abridged did a much better job in conving the bleak setting of Trunks' world, the relationship between Gohan and Trunks, Trunks first transformation as a Super Saiyan and even the development of Trunks as a character.

It's not a bad special and I do understand why people love it but I didn't get much enjoyment out of it personally.

And TFS's version? what did you think of their effort?

I'm sure Demarco gave a reason and I think were stuck with this intro for the entire run.

And I'm not really sure if your talking about the fact that the Dragon Soul theme never got replaced as Kai went on or talking about the Toonami intro still being the Saiyan Saga intro.

Remember that the very first episode of DBZ KAI aired on TOONAMI had the English opening and closing in full, and then since then has had the first English opening song (though I think they updated the visual once) and the Japanese ending shortened.

Maybe they'll forget next episode and everyone will hear the awesome second ending dubbed! Which I won't link because SPOILERS!

With the Androids, super Saiyan Gohan, etc.
We'll see.

Well, it doesn't get that crazy this week. It does get...edge lordy though. Dragon Ga Kill!

Akame ga Kill anime original stuff really isn't a big quality drop like other shows. It's still bad like the rest of the show, but the pacing is super rushed. Some people might actually see that as a good thing lol.

I'd love a redub of Trunk's special. I still think it's hands down the best DBZ movie/special, the new ones notwithstanding because I haven't seen them.

It's been forever since I've seen History of Trunks. I remember it being different and kind of emotional, but I don't remember it being bad. I guess it's one of those where you see it once as a kid and probably will get a wildly different impression if you see it again later in life.

I love the dub for History of Trunks, lol. Not a weird nostalgia opinion, either, since I only saw DBZ for the first time in 2015, anyway. (Kai, 1-98, plus the movies.)

It's a bad dub, but it works in its favor. It's so hilariously... chill. The Androids are pitch-perfect because their voicework is so cool, crisp and monotonous.

History of Trunks was probably my favorite part of my DBZ watch.

I watched it the last time I watched all of DBZ KAI and while the voice acting was a bit rougher than what I was used to it mainly hit the same notes it did when I saw it subbed years ago and dubbed on TOONAMI a bit after that.

I'd probably enjoy the special a lot more if it had a dub made today or if Toei didn't chuck the original audio masters. I had the same problem for this special and Bardock's special.

Both have AWFUL sub tracks on their home video releases. Both coincidentally are what I consider the best of the specials/movies because, well, they're interesting bits of the canon the show doesn't cover and have that tragic but hopeful tone I'm a sucker for.
