What If Dragon Ball Z Wasn’t Successful?

Published December 4, 2015 by Shay Taree

So we all know that Dragon Ball Z is wildly successful show where it has crossed over into mainstream media such as video games, action figures, and even a motion picture. Now while it wasn’t a great one it was still a motion picture on the big screen!
But I’ve always wondered what would have happened if Dragon Ball Z didn’t end up being as successful as it had been.

Now I’m sure that many of you may possibly say that you don’t think anything would change. But let’s remember that Dragon Ball Z is what put Funimation on the map and also made many people take notice about anime. Also many of us may not even be anime fans if it wasn’t for Dragon Ball Z

So I think that a lot would have changed. I feel like Funimation wouldn’t be as big of a company as it is if Dragon Ball Z would have failed in the states. I feel like anime would be even more underground than it is now. Now I know that other anime’s have been out before Dragon Ball Z but I feel like Dragon Ball Z is the one anime that can be counted on to continually bring in money and also new viewers.

But I would love to know what you all think of this. Comment down below! I can’t wait to read all your comments.

What Anime’s Would You Show Your Kids?

Published October 26, 2015 by Shay Taree

So for those of you have kids or even though who don’t I was wondering what anime you would show your kids to introduce them to anime?
Now I got the idea for this topic because I saw the same topic in the MAL forums and it got me to thinking.

I think that when I have kids I would probably show them the anime’s that I liked as a kid that got me interested in anime. So that would be anime’s like Sailor Moon,

Dragon Ball Z,

& also possibly Yu Yu Hakusho.

But what about everyone else? What anime would show your kids if or when you have them? Comment down below your answers I can’t wait to read them.

What If Disney Got The Rights To An Anime?

Published October 9, 2015 by Shay Taree

So since I was in Disneyland for a few days that made me really think about what if Disney got the rights to an anime.
I know that a lot of other companies have gotten the rights to animes and have either dubbed them or made them into movies. But what anime’s that have already been made would you not mind if Disney had of gotten the rights to it.
The only anime that I can think of is Sailor Moon and that’s mostly because Disney at least to me has done the Princess thing quite well. But they also need much stronger female characters. At least to me they do. Also since Disney is mainly known for their princesses (and Mickey Mouse) it would fit right into what they have usually done.

But if Disney went with an action series I could see them going with either Dragon Ball Z

or Yu Yu Hakusho.

Just because while they both had action in them they also had some really great funny moments and great character development.

But what do you think? Comment down below with your opinion on this topic! I can’t wait to read it!

Favorite Anime Crossover

Published August 14, 2015 by Shay Taree

So I for one am a huge fan of anime crossovers and I definitely have a few favorites! But first let me explain how I came across anime crossovers in general. For me I came across them in the world of fanfiction. On fanfiction.net there is actually a link where you can read crossover fanfiction and that is where I started to wonder what anime would I love to see a crossover with.
At this moment I actually have 5 anime’s that I don’t mind the crossovers of and those are Sailor Moon

Dragon Ball Z,

Inuyasha,

Bleach,

and Yu Yu Hakusho.

I’ve read a few fanfictions involving them before and I found them to be quite good.

One of them was a crossover between Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Z in which Vegeta and Usagi/Serena were the main couple.

One is a crossover between Bleach and Inuyasha with Kagome and Ichigo as the main couple

and the last one is Yu Yu Hakusho and Inuyasha.

Yes I know that many of those series being lumped together are quite weird but hey try them because some of them are quite cool.

So comment down below on what you would think of these crossovers and also what your favorite anime crossover is. I can’t wait to read them.

Dragon Ball Z Resurrection Of F Movie Review!

Published August 5, 2015 by Shay Taree

So just yesterday I went with a group of my friends to the premiere of Dragon Ball Z Resurrection Of F and it was amazing! I actually really enjoyed it and seeing it in a theatre jam packed with other Dragon Ball Z fans just made it that much better.
The basic plot of this movie is the Freeza has been brought back to life and wants revenge on Goku. This was a very clear plot and there was no deviating from that.

The characterization in the movie was amazing considering that a few characters were absent but I actually didn’t miss them and didn’t know they were missing until they were mentioned. Also not only that but when they were it turned into a joke which was really funny. Besides that all the characters were exactly how I remembered them in the show.

Now onto the music….and let’s just say that there was some I like and some I didn’t. I honestly didn’t really like the intro or ending song but the songs during the fight sequences was amazing and really fit the mood. It really had me rockin in my seat and wanting to see what happened next.

The animation of the show was also something I really enjoyed and actually payed attention too. Usually I don’t always pay attention to the art but this time for some reason it really sucked me in. I don’t know if it was because I saw it in a theatre but it was so crisp and amazing. I also didn’t even mind the CG that was put in during the fight scenes. That honestly reminded me of the Dragon Ball Z video games which I loved.

The movie went by super quick and it was really funny with all the one liners and of course the bickering between Vegeta and Goku. Also Beerus and Whis return in this film and are as enjoyable as ever.

Overall I give this film a 9/10! It was amazing and I definitely recommend that every Dragon Ball Z fan should at least check it out! I definitely plan to buy this when it comes out on DVD. So if you’ve seen this movie comment down below on what you thought of it and if you haven’t let me know what you thought of this review! Join in the conversation because I love to read and respond to your comments.

Favorite Dragon Ball Z Movie Villain?

Published August 3, 2015 by Shay Taree

Since the new Dragon Ball Z movie is going to be released I thought that I would do a Dragon Ball Z related post. I know that many of us have a favorite character but do you have a favorite movie villain? There are many different Dragon Ball Z movies but which movie villain is your favorite?
I definitely have 2 favorites! My first one of Brolly

from the first legendary super saiyan movie. The other sequels were okay but the first one was definitely the best. The other villain I really liked was Beerus

from the battle of Gods movie. Beerus was just really funny and turned out to be a very likable villain.

But who is your favorite movie villain? Comment down below and let me know? I can’t wait to read your answers!

New Dragon Ball Z Anime In July! 😆

Published April 29, 2015 by Shay Taree

So I know that many of you have heard about the new Dragon Ball Z anime that is coming out in July! I am on the fence about this and let me tell you why!

On one side I’m very excited since there hasn’t been a new Dragon Ball Z series in 18 years. Plus it’s a continuation and not a reboot so it will be interesting to see what happens. Also it raises a few questions such as is the artistic style going to change because since it is a new era when it comes to anime it would be neat to see our favorite characters with new looks. Also how long will the anime be?

Now for the other side I’m slightly apprehensive about this just because of the hassle that has happened with Sailor Moon Crystal.

I understand that Sailor Moon Crystal is just following the original manga this time but it’s not considered a reboot of the original so it’s an original in its own right. I’m just scared that when the new Dragon Ball Z series comes out it won’t live up to the hype surrounding the show. I mean while Sailor Moon Crystal has been a good series so far many would agree that it could have been done better.

So those are my thoughts so far on the announcement of this new Dragon Ball Z series. But what do you all think of the annoucement? I would love to read your thoughts. So comment down below and I will comment back!

Anime 30 Day Challenge: Day 26 Of 30

Published January 28, 2015 by Shay Taree

Day 26: Best Anime Fight?

As always there are just way to many fights in anime that I’ve seen to try to narrow it down to one but of course I had to.

So the best fight I’ve seen in an anime had to of course go to Dragon Ball Z. That show had so many amazing and epic fights that I couldn’t help but automatically think of DBZ as soon as I read the question.

So my favorite fight of that series has to be Goku Vs Majin Vegeta.

That fight was just amazing and I could honestly watch it over and over again. But what about everyone else? What is your favorite fight in an anime?

So there ends day 26 and once again comment below about your favorite anime fight.

Best Character Attack Or Weapon!

Published January 10, 2015 by Shay Taree

I really love watching action anime’s and seeing what attacks or weapons are going to be used in the show. Now even though there are a lot of new action anime’s that are out with many different attacks I hate to say it but I love the old action anime attacks best. Now I know these aren’t really old but they are kind of retro for me.

The first attack is of course from Dragon Ball Z. I mean that show had so many different attacks that sometimes it was hard to keep up. But my favorite attack from that show was Goku’s Kamehameha.

This is because it’s the attack that everyone knows and when he did that attack everyone was like whoa that was cool.

The second attack that I really liked and found so awesome was Hiei from Yu Yu Hakusho’s Dragon Of The Darkness Flame attack. Omg that attack was awesome because there was nothing left of the guy!

This attack was featured during the dark tournament arc of the series and is one of the many attacks that shocked everyone! So look out for that attack from Hiei because you will be nothing but cinders after he has used it.

So those are my favorite character attacks or weapons so feel free to comment below and let me know your favorites. Also once again happy watching!

Favorite Anime Villain?

Published December 18, 2014 by Shay Taree

So I know that In many anime’s that I have watched there is usually an evil villain or at least someone that your supposed to not like. So I decided to post about who is your favorite villain.

I actually have two favorite villains and they are vastly different from each other. My first favorite is Light Yagami from Death Note. Light actually started off trying to do something good and then became corrupted and the villain of this anime. Now us as the viewer saw the story from Light’s eyes which was an interesting point of view. Now not many people want to consider Light a villain but for me he fits the villain category since he did some pretty evil things so cover his tracks.

The second villain that is my favorite is actually Beerus the main villain from the Dragon Ball Z Battle Of The Gods movie. Even though he was the villain I couldn’t hate him. I think it’s because he was very funny and for a villain very likable. Even though he is set out to destroy the planet he has fun while figuring out if he is or not.

So those are my favorite villains. So now I would like to know who your favorite villains are and why? Also once again happy watching!
