What exactly is the issue? I mean, I know Toei doesn't like them doing it, but has the situation gotten worse? If they were to start the Buu Saga is there reason to think they'd have to stop before they'd be done, thus they might call it quits after the Android Saga wraps up so they have a good place to end?

I think at least part of it is that they're tired of having to fix their channel every time Toei gets pissy and takes down all their videos.

That's probably a bit of a lemon squeezer.

It keeps on happening, that would've stopped most people by now.

At the very least they made it to the point that Team Four Star as a whole will continue, even once DBZA ends. Making their own video game, an offical anime dub, all their gameing stuff and streams. They managed to get very far, which I couldn’t be happier about.

Yeah, it's probably simply time for them to move on from DBZA.

With the way he acts, he certainly is a villain.

He's also one of the worst villains.

His anime incarnation fucking sucks. [tdown]

The big issue is that Youtube effectively has a monopoly on online video platforms. TFS used to have a different player on their website but they went under. Other "rivals" like blip.tv and vid.me ended up crashing and burning.With Youtube's Content ID system being total ass, I can see it being disheartening to try and continue to get produce your work on the platform, especially since TFS is in the grey area as far as fair use goes.

You know what I love about this whole TFS might not cover the Buu arc thing?

The exact same thing happened with Kai. Toei's just trying to keep their adaptation faithful. [lol]

So in that case, will DBZA be picked up by Something Witty Entertainment a few years down the line?

Kai did eventually get around to making a Buu arc though. So, even if TFS decides to not do the Buu arc now, in a few years the situation may change and allow them to do it without fear of reprisal. Then again, time may only make the situation worse.

We also have to consider that time might lead to them drifting apart and doing their own shit.

I doubt that. They already have their own channels where they do their own shit, but Team Four Star as a company has only gotten more cemented with time. They've had, what, three different studios so far? They have multiple shows and multiple channels dedicated to all of them doing stuff together representing the company, not themselves. I think Team Four Star as a company is going to be fine for the foreseeable future.

They have an official dub coming out so TFS would offer some financial security.

Definitely think the core members of TFS aren't going anymore.

Not so sure about the more tertiary members.

An important thing to remember is that they technically don't get any money from DBZA. People can support them through Patreon and other ways, but someone who just watches DBZA and nothing else isn't giving them any money. So how DBZA ending impacts how much money they are getting will be hard to guess till it happens.

[up] Well I do & the anime gives me constant justification for my opinion.

He is a complete waste of a character & among the pinnacle of Super's poor writing.

I think the Demon God of Chaos is entitled to their opinion. I like Jiren, too. It's okay to love him, just as it's okay to hate him with the fiery burning passion of 10,000 suns.

I am just very passionate about this.

I was too enthralled in the Jiren hype that of course I ended up beyond disappointed that he's nothing more than Arrogant Douchbag #553.

Anime!Jiren is basically every major problem with Dragonball incarnate. He's "strong" and that's his only character trait.

He’s Broly, with a slightly more intresting personality and motive. Emphasis on slightly. And being better then Broly is a very low bar to cross.

I wouldn't call Anime Jiren any more interesting in Broly.

Broly's movies aren't great, but he has a pretty entertaining personality for how brutal and boisterous he is.

Anime Jiren is like what people stereotype DB as.

I'd put him ahead of Broly. At least his backstory doesn't involved "Pissed at a baby who cried near me"
