About the music playing when the Namekians first arrived on Earth, was that from Uru by any chance?

Ahahahaha. That was great!

I loved Guru's death scene, Freeza's "pizzas", and Dende accidentally going along with Kaio's plan.

I can hardly wait for the next part. Is it going to take longer, Kaiser? Or did you delay part 2 so you could release them at regular intervals?

I don't think we're going to see part 3 for a little while. Remember that most of part 2 was what they cut out of part 1 to get it down to 10 minutes.

That was basically what I was asking.

I mean, I don't know exactly what all Kaiser does during the editing process, so I have no idea how long it actually takes.

That was some superb editing on Guru's final death!

Also:
Vegeta checking to make sure he's still alive.
Dende orchestrating the third wish.
Goku's bored now.
Freeza being an overgrown that thing Chi-Chi keeps in her drawer.
Bigger ki ball x4.
Piccolo not telling Guru where Nail is.
Everyone but Kuririn.
Freeza having terrible timed directing his "pizza".
"That wasn't a pizza at all!"
Vegeta Time™ being cut short. XD

I was watching this latest one, and thought it was funny enough - not quite enough that I actually started laughing out loud (lately, I've had to watch these by myself, unfortunately, which lessens the laugh factor), but chuckle-worthy.

Then I hit "That's not a pizza!" and that did it. :lol: I couldn't regain my composure for the rest of the episode. I think my favorite bit was how they took that shot of Freeza controlling the kienzan and made it look like he couldn't figure out how to work it.

I do have to say, though, there are some episodes where I just have the damnedest time trying to figure out what the characters are saying. It took me like three or four listens to realize Freeza said "High in Vitamin Dumbass!" But there were plenty of other spots I just let fly on past because I just couldn't understand a word.
BGM forever! If only more people paid attention to it... well, I intend to change that.

Again, great performances. Especially liked Guru and Dende in this part.

My favorites bits:

- "I give it, like, two minutes tops!"
- "Ow, my Gotens!"
- "Come at me, bro."
- Goku's deflection of Freeza's attack destroying a planet
- "Do not tell him I'm here."
- The Dragon Ball crushing a Namekian kid
- Guru's death
- "Do you know what a minute is?"
- "... or the Makakapotamus."

The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

I loved the Dawn of The Dead reference when Vegeta was rising up from the ground.

Even better that it actually included my favourite track from the movie as well.

That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation. But ultimately I have to ask myself "What is the true meaning of being perfect?" and the answer I came up with was nothing. Not one thing. The truth of the matter is I despise perfection! If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

Dende was freaking awesome in this one.

Great episode guys. Also if you guys ever redo Movie 1 you MUST keep the old Kami voice. The movie wouldn't be the same without "Is that you Edith? Give Grandpa some sugar."

I loved part 1 but part 2 just made me laugh even more. My favorite parts:

-"Global Warming? NAAIILL!!"(just the way it was said had me laughing so hard).
-Guru confessing his sins.
-His death and everyone's reactions.
-Makakapottamus

Great episode and I'll miss Guru but I look forward to the next Nappa/Guru whoever they may be.

How can Frieza be his "bro" when he killed almost every Namekian (except some that Vejita took care of). :lol:

Dende was nonetheless, hilarious! xD

Wow, Kaiser. You and your boys went above and beyond on part 2. Everything perfectly flows. I especially love Guru's speech and the massacre, lol! And then shifting straight to Goku and Frieza fighting again. Even the sound and music are seamless!

Discounting all the cutaways, it's actually pretty easy to imagine most of the Goku/Freeza scenes from the start of the approximately five minutes fitting inside five minutes. It's when we get down to two/one minutes by Freeza's count that things get a little wonky, but it didn't really feel like three minutes when he said two were left. Eh, need to actually try and time it at some point.

[edit] According to my handy-dandy stopwatch, it was almost exactly 5 minutes from Freeza announcing the five minutes to Freeza saying there was one minute left. It was pretty close to 7:10 when Freeza got cut in half. I recall anime Freeza stretching his estimation by a couple minutes after the planet lasted for like seven episodes. Considering that all that's left on Namek is Goku looking for a ship, I think TFS wins on this one. :)
Except that the sequence with the disks took a whole two minutes. :lol:

That's odd, I don't have trouble understanding it.
Though I have been deliberately turning the volume pretty high before watching. :)

There's just one part I can't make out. What does Goku say at 4:02, just after "I'm not immortal either. And I'm okay with that."
