Dragon Ball may be my biggest special interest. Total 90's baby and my taste in anime will prove that.

@[email protected] has offered an invitation to their discord server for the wider ani.social community. As well as light novels, it provides spaces to chat about anime, manga, games, and more.

They have also offered to create Dragon Ball specific channels if the need arises. I know some had asked about watching Dragon Ball together, and this could make that possible. I can try to set something up if enough interest is shown.

  • I miss when Dragon Ball characters were still relevant

  • Glad to have you here! I always love hearing from people that have never seen it. The "humor" is absolutely a bit much. I don't know if it had anything to do with the time or culture, or if Toriyama was just a huge perv. I do my best to ignore it. By the time Z comes around it is as bad unless I blocked some shit out.

    Speaking of Z, you may not like the pacing of it. It gets padded a LOT. There is Kai which addresses this issue a bit

    I love Toriyama's world and his lack of care for the details. Sometimes he just retcons shit, seemingly with out reason. I don't love that part as much, but I love Super and how he just gave us a lot of fan service for the sake of it

    Overall the Dragon Ball franchise is one of my favorite things in the world, and I am so happy to be able to share the enjoyment of it with all of you

  • I started the first Dragon Ball movie last night. I fell asleep before it was over, but it was pretty interesting. Brand new overarching story with a new big bad, but a lot of the same reused scenes and even dialogue. Worth checking out if you're bored, but the series was much better

  • Right on. I might give it a try at some point. I'm watching episode 1 for the third time or so. I keep being distracted through most of it

    How to watch Dragon Ball in order

    I came across this and thought it was fitting with the rewatch starting

  • I love both of them. So much great music across all of the series

  • That's an interesting way to watch. How'd you find it? Was it difficult with the discrepancies?

  • You watching sub and dub?

  • Apologies for the confusion. To clarify, there is no set day to watch. You are welcome to watch at your own pace and join any discussion thread when you would like to. Discussion threads go up every Sunday and will be most active that first week

  • Official links are available in the episode discussion under Additional Links spoiler

  • Apologies, are you wanting me to sell you on the show, or informing that you will not be joining?

  • Awesome, can't wait to see your thoughts! Feel free to jump into any discussion thread at your own pace, no worries

  • I started with the dub, but honestly, I think I'm going to try and watch both every week. Will be interesting watching them almost side by side.

    1. The opening song has been stuck in my head since the first episode
    2. You've missed out on a lot lol. It won't be explained anytime soon, so if you would like to know I will put it behind a spoiler tag for you
    3. Dragon Ball can be wild at times. You'd think it would've been a bit drafty at the least

    Please join us for a Dragon Ball rewatch!

    Hi, I'm Biskii. I'm a moderator for [email protected]. Yesterday everything was put in place to begin watching the original Dragon Ball from the beginning. We are taking it three episodes at a time, with discussion threads released every Sunday. Our first discussion thread is right over here

    Huge shout outs to @[email protected] for the discussion thread bot, as well as working with me to add functionality to make all of this possible, and @[email protected] for all the promotion and legwork they do not only for [email protected] but the fediverse in general. I can't forget to shout out the community and everybody that has joined in the discussions for Daima, etc. so far.

    I hope to see you guys over there, and if you ever need anything or have feedback feel free to reach out. Thank you!

  • Great tip, thank you!

  • I was afraid of that. I know that's how the old Z 16:9s were. I would never knock anybody for watching in any format, but my brain can't get around the fact that something is missing

  • Were they able to change it to 16:9 with out cropping the top and bottom? I can't remember. I'd rather have 4:3 if it means I get all of the picture

  • How do you feel about three episodes per week?

  • Thanks for your input. It isn't choose what I want, I will choose what you guys want. I had already tossed around the idea of three episodes. I think it would be fine personally. We will try that until I have gathered more feedback

    Dragon Ball Discussion Thread: The Beginning

    We're going to get right into things and start watching the original Dragon Ball. Whether this is your first time, or you have seen it ten times, feel free to come discuss the episodes we are watching for the week.

    Discussion threads will contain spoilers. Tags are not necessary. Anything about the episodes is fair game. The story, the art, the music, what ever you would like to talk about.

    I don't think there is enough of a difference between the sub and dub to matter, so unless it becomes a problem, feel free to watch the version of your choosing. You are free to discuss the differences and your preferences, but this is not a place for arguing or attacking people for watching how they want to watch.

    I am currently looking into having a bot create the threads every week, I just have to see if it will work the way I would like it to. Is there a preference as to what day the discussion thread is posted? At first I was thinking Friday like we had Daima, but Sunday would give us one f

  • I have to say, after watching both versions I think I enjoy the filler. When we get to Z discussion threads my vote will be for the original version. The manga can be enjoyed as Toriyama's exclusive work, but I feel the anime is meant to be viewed with the filler

  • Oh, this will be fun! I can't wait to hear your thoughts. Dragon Ball OG is kind of a different vibe from Z and Super. We can start as soon as you would like to

    What Next?

    With Daima coming to an end, there isn't much content related to Dragon Ball coming out. I don't want to let this community wither away, so I'd like some input about what you guys would be interested in

    I'm not great at keeping up with gaming news, so I didn't even know they are releasing Daima DLC for Kakarot until someone told me recently. I will try to do better at staying aware of all things Dragon Ball so I can post it here

    I personally enjoyed the Daima discussion threads, and feel a bit of a void now that it is over. Would anybody want to participate in a weekly episode starting with the beginning of Dragon Ball, or a weekly manga chapter also starting at the beginning?

    If you guys ever make some Dragon Ball art, or pick up some sweet merch, please share with us. We are all here because of our love for Dragon Ball, and I want to enjoy these things with you

    If you have any other ideas or input, please let me know here. I am all ears and op
