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
::: spoiler Tap for spoiler
Off screen in Dragon Ball Super, and in the Super manga, it explains that Pilaf and gang wished to be younger, but they didn't specify how much younger and it made them babies

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
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
I can't wait for the manga to get going again! Don't worry, there will be discussion threads for new chapters. I only just unstickied the special chapter to get everything ready for Dragon Ball OG episode discussions
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
I miss when Dragon Ball characters were still relevant

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
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, 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.
The opening song has been stuck in my head since the first episode
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
Dragon Ball can be wild at times. You'd think it would've been a bit drafty at the least
Great tip, thank you!

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?

I'm not opposed to two episodes. I will get to work on things now
