Don't you be acting all innocent because you were a part of this!

I know what dragon ball is, but I've never actually read a chapter or watched one full episode.
Howzat?

It contained all of the words I needed to smile.

Tsukishima getting a score (but not saying much) was pleasing, as well as Tanaka's excitement and Hinata's score. Really intense chapter (though a bit wordy on the rules). Still conflicted, I want Oikawa to succeed cause hes amazing but I also dont want Kageyama to lose to him, ugh these two, great chemistry.

Just fine.
Though growing up I've read manhua adaptations of Journey to the West. Does that count?

Isn't Dragonball really huge in France?

I was a cartoon network kid growing up. Filthy gaijin cartoons instead of glorious Japanese ones.
Just fine.

NO.
Read it. Watch it. Listen to the damn Radio Drama. Just go consume some Dragonball RIGHT NOW.
It was/is. I wasn't born when the Dragon Ball anime was broadcasted and never really cared about it to be honest.
I am on chapter 88 now and I'm not planning on stopping for now.

Huh, I guess I was in the same age range too. Was 4 when Z ended.
Never knew dragon ball was so old.
Haikyuu!! 51
I hope Tanaka will do a badass move to receive the ball.
Well, in France the anime started in 1988, I was born in 1994. Even my older brother born in 1985 was too young to watch it at the time, I believe he started with DBZ.

Understandable. I wasn't a huge fan either. Never read the Dragon Ball manga and only bought some Dragon Ball Z volumes back then. While I really enjoyed original DBZ anime when it was broadcasted, it's is a chore to watch. I think Kai fixed some of the pacing and filler issues, but I never bothered with it.

Hopefully he gets a really cool looking panel page like Nishinoya did.
New Treasure Island
This is one of Tezuka's earlier manga. It's unique in some ways, but I wasn't particularly fond of it (the fact that it's ridiculously racist doesn't help).
The more interesting thing I got out of this was Tezuka's debut dairy that was at the end of the book. It's literally his diary so if you want to find out what Tezuka was having for lunch while he was changing the world then this is your chance!

Oh my! Sorry for suspecting you. I hope it's all cool. We cool. You're cool.Calm down there upandaway, I did, I just didn't remember that one.

It somehow led to another crazy train of confessions, so I guess something came of it!

Okay, so now that Kimi no Iru Machi is going to be getting a proper anime series; can anyone tell me why it's so [insert adjective here]?
I know absolutely zero about this series, other than the fact that everyone calls it "A town where you rage" or other derivatives.
And why you think I should read it of course.

I'm Sakamoto, you know? 3
I wonder if this would get an anime some day, would love to see the best scene in this animated, who knew changing into the work uniform could look so amazing.

How are some of you acting so calm about this? We're not talking about some obscure 30 year old josei that only get updated 3 times a Year. It's Dragon-Bloody-Ball.
The adjective you're looking for is "rage-inducing". The characters are terrible, acting in ways that leave you screaming in frustration. The only reason I'm still reading is in the vain hope that the manga ends with everyone dying as a punishment for the damage they've inflicted upon my sanity.
The easiest way to make you understand is just to show you a panel:

Oh, come on. Sure, some see it as the father of modern shonen and their tropes, but it's no 7 Seeds.
I've read Molester Man but had no idea what OTL stood for until I googled it just now. I think my favorite OTL moment was when Kansai went to kiss him, and then she was like "dont be getting too cocky" or something along those lines and then he does a barrel roll into the stance. I was laughing pretty hard.
"Some"? By "some", do you mean "EVERYONE"? Because I'm pretty sure that's what "some" means in this scenario.
I always though DBZ was kinda... dumb when I was a kid. It was just a bunch of people yelling stuff like "ill send you to a different dimension", grunting, and long drawn out fights. I remember in 6th grade when people were talking about new episodes starting to air (In 1999ish?), and I was shocked that people liked it.
Years later, I would read the manga and understand why people liked it, but to this day I still don't understand how people could have been entranced by that early stuff on TV.

Modern shonen is kinda dumb though, so I don't really want to read the father of it.
Also 42 volumes is kind of a lot. Partly why I don't really want to read the big 3 as well.

Meh, DBZ is pretty boring. It's very typical of all shounen.
Well since it was the origin of modern action shounen...
Berserk 89-109
Huh.
Well, Griffith is a fucking jerk. What a crab, fucking ol' boys girl in front of him.
The way Gutts lost his arm was nice. I'm surprised Caska lived through all of it, even if she's broken for now.
Overall, I think this was an interesting way to write this entire set up. What a flashback. What a tremendous amount of character development. It was great, really.
Griffith is such a dick, though. :lol
That's where I'll stop for now.

It was worth the wait.
It was worth the wait.
Dragonball is like, my love.
It transcends anime for me. DBZ on Toonami at 5pm's was like, a ritual. When my sister and two cousins would come home from school to my grandmother's house, we watched DBZ every single day. It's more than just nostalgia, it's a emotional connection that I have to the time period and situation surrounding the shit itself. DBZ really did do something more than just provide entertainment for us when we were young.
Oh and:
That shit was half way funny, half way awesome. Looking forward to the retribution arc.
