This.....is something I think is much needed, ladies and gentle-fish: a rebirth of the DragonBall anime: Not a reboot, not a retelling, not a re-re-re-re-re-re-re-release on DVD....a rebirth.
You see, this anime franchise is easily one of the most popular anime series ever, and yet....there are so many things wrong with it that need to be rectified. Let me count the ways:
Distribution: We got everyone in the fanbase bickering over things like voice acting, openings, scripts, BGM....it's plain f*cking ridiculous if you ask me. Damn Funimation just HAD to try and make it a Western cartoon in the early 2000's. -__- What with the Bruce Falchoner, and the Over 9000, and the Rock The Dragon, and the SAD FOR YOUUUUUUUUUUUU...ugh. it's a mess. Even DragonBall Kai can't seem to fix it, with people still bitching about wanting chain-smoking toddlers/teens and granny aliens over the wonderfull Colleen Clinkenbeard and Chris Ayres. Hell, one more revamp outta to do it, even if Funi has to bring back the mother firetrucking Ocean group as a second Eng. dub just so their bases are covered. And I dont know what you have to do for the Jap. cast, Toriyama. Just give them the best pep talk ever and make them put thier heart and soul into the characters or something so they can give it their best and not sound uninspired.
Story: This story is over 20 years old, so this part is easy...follow the manga, please. Filler is non-existent in this scenario; no one has to tune into pointless crap because everything is already done for you. And by that....I mean the entire manga...as it is. You know why I call it DragonBall Shinsei? Because that's the entire story: The DragonBall manga into an anime. No Z. Just Pilaf Saga to Buu Saga, simple as that. Why? Because it seems right. I don't understand why an series has to split because of a time skip; that happens all the time, especially in the "Z" portion of the plot.
OVAs/Movies: Yes, remake these too. It's only fitting we bring every one of those pieces to the same status of the series. Of course I exclude the ones already up to date (Yo, Son Goku Returns, PTETSS, EoB, etc....)
Is this possible, ladies and germs? The magic 8 ball says...."Go jump in a ditch." Well, that puts me in a good spot to--wait a damn minute! (chucks 8 ball)
I don't care what that ball says....or what most people would say. This is POSSIBLE. ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. WE CAN BE DONE WITH THIS SERIES AND MOVE ON. No longer do you have to shuffle through various versions of the series because no one can make up their goddamn mind on how to enjoy DragonBall / DragonBall Z. Toriyama....head this message. You can thank me later, Akira-san.
