Do you think the shift away from "blood" was good?

I am sure you are all aware that the earlier episodes from the series were more bloody but not so much so it was like Mortal Kombat level gore, just showing the intensity of the fights, training, etc.

That being said, do you think the shift away from using blood was a good move? Do you think it has impacted the series as a whole for the better or for the worse?

Yes it was, but it still wasn't overdone in Dragon Ball. With that said, I actually hated how they went back to graphic detail in the Boo Saga, to the point where it was more graphic than anywhere else in the story.

I honestly didn't mind the blood, and didn't mind when it was toned down, either. So...I suppose it's better for the younger viewers if it's toned down, which is fine, but if they brought it back I wouldn't be bothered. Was it good? Eh, it was a smart move for the audience, but it was neither good nor bad, IMO.

I actually find it more annoying that they had almost no cursing in the Funimation Dub or the Ocean Dub (although I think this is fixed in Kai). I know they were trying to properly introduce Anime to the West, but come on now... I mean even other old Anime with dated voice acting like Yu Yu Hakusho had at least some cursing.

That's a solid point, actually. For being as graphic as it was, you would've thought they'd have had at least some language to match it.

I've always thought a R rated dragon ball would be really cool. Like you could really see when someone would get the crap beaten out of them in super intense fights. I get that it would never happen, but maybe as a fan project or something, it would be cool to see
I have to agree, this would be something I'd be interested to see. An R-rated version of Namek, for instance...regenerated limbs, and so on...could be quite interesting!

There needs to be some instances of rated-R violence. It helps keep the tension up. Things get quite mundane when your heroes just come out of losing battle with bumps and bruises or wake up from massive head trauma like it's nothing.
