One Piece's manga being fine is probably the best joke I've heard all year
To whoever wondered whether they should watch YYH or Bleach: neither are really rip-offs. There is obvious inspiration, but they're very different approaches. Hell YYH was published alongside Dragon Ball so they probably influenced each other.
I'd say give YYH's anime a watch - it is much better than the manga, and also has Superlative Dubbing. Bleach's anime has good moments but it's way too long for me to reccommend, so I'd say give the manga a read if you're interested.
Both start off with pretty short story arcs that should give you a good idea if you'd want to keep reading.
On Murata / the YYH psychics - I think you're missing the point of that fight. It wasn't about muscle memory or reflex because Yusuke did exactly what he said he would. Pulling his punch was probably the only part that was a reflex.
The point of the fight was that mind reading won't make you invincible. That would be undermined if Murata just wasn't mind reading hard enough.
Murata's mind reading is flawless, but just because he knows what Yusuke will do doesn't mean he's capable of handling it. He doesn't have the necessary skill to avoid that punch, or the strength to take it.
The psychics send the message "strength isn't everything" while Yusule returns with "it's still something". Those that were aware of Yusuke's strength were able to get the best of him. Anyone too obsessed with their special skill to acknowledge the usefulness of brute force got their stupid asses handed to them.
That's refreshingly balanced for a fictional piece. Y'know, until Sensui ruined everything by revealing he was way stronger than anyone else and could only be met with equal brute force.
Also while I think Sensui's Seven was where the series Jumped the Shark, I don't think it jumped from a very high ramp if you catch my drift.
The only solution at this point is to just improve the bot. No way humans could moderate all of the copyright reports that You Tube must get every day.

Dreamkeepers Prelude, check it out!There's still the website.
Their new production office looks neat.
...Wow this is a shitty thing to happen at Christmas.

Gohan can become a Super Saiyan in the first Broly film. He does so during the battle with Broly. This prohibits it from happening before the RoSaT, and it would also be poor pacing on TFS's side to show Gohan being a Super Saiyan in the movie before having him become one in the show.
@.@ I was surprised by how dark that got. "EVERYTHING'S ON FIRE!" was hilarious and had me rolling in my chair, but then it took a horrific turn when Lani implied that Taka had died in the fire. It was still funny, just darkly so.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.They said they got a good deal on a place there in Texas. That the place was pretty big and have them room to expand.
Gohan and Goku weren't Super Saiyans all the time in Broly one.
...Is it wrong that I want Kaiser to edit that in though?
Linking for the lulz.
I enjoy complex analysis of dumb things.

Not all the time, no. That's one of the usual movie inconsistencies that makes it impossible for any of the movies to actually happen in the timeline. TFS just does the best they can with what they have to work with.
But the fact that Gohan can transform and does so during the fight with Broly makes it impossible to place it anywhere prior to Goku and Gohan exiting the RoSaT.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.I think Broly would be liked by us a lot more if his "Legendary Super Saiyan Form" was just his mutation of Super Saiyan 2, and not the original dubs insistence on being "The True Legendary Super Saiyan". Also, he shouldn't have gotten more than 1 movie.
I don't even have that much of a problem with him existing, it's just that weird insistence on being the "The True Legendary Super Saiyan" that really hurts Broly.
Super Saiyan Grade 4, perhaps. Broly going one step beyond Super Trunks, but still not quite hitting Super Saiyan 2.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.Everyone gets upset about this, the fact that there are no female Super Saiyans, that Pan hasn't done it yet, that this is some sort of imbalance. Does it matter?
Pan is one of the main characters, and does quite a bit of fighting on her own. Super Saiyans are basically chumps in GT, you turn Super Saiyan, you'll be in the ground five minutes later. Even Goku succumbs to this.
If it's some twisted, Dragonball version of the Bechdel test we're getting at here, all of the males who turn Super Saiyan in GT typically get their ass kicked moments after, seriously, turning Super Saiyan means you were losing the fight beforehand. Pan wins more fights in base form than Vegeta, Gohan, Goten, or Trunks do in GT.
Super Saiyan is not a driver's license. It is a gender-neutral license to have your ass kicked royally, it is a Mauve Shirt delivery truck.

I'M MR. MEESEEKS, LOOK AT ME!

Damn it. At least they've got their website.
The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!
