I have definitely gotten halfway through the checkout process something like five times. A few times just for the junior novel, and a couple for the Chapter Book and Junior Novel together. In the end, I don't think I'll be able to justify paying shipping for something that is going to be sitting in the Manga section of every bookstore in town on release day.

Exactly how I feel.
If challenge had a taste, you'd be quite delicious.

Hey, that's how my school works too!

Well, with the authenticity of this review in question I wonder if the Makankô-sappô shall still be used...

the shape of the special beam cannon is the same, He does the same pose as in the anime where he puts his fingers to his head.


(Piccolo wishes for youth and is interrupted by Roshi before he can make his second wish) It ultimately fails and Piccolo pierces Roshi's heart with a Special Beam Cannon.
There you have it.

I said 'with the authenticity in question will there still be ca Makankô-sappô', as in even if this review is fake.

The only thing that looks like its original counterpart, so far, is the Mafuba. If that green, swirling blast IS in fact the Mafuba.

Now he's saying he can't say direct lines because he wasn't really paying attention. THEN WHY MAKE A THREAD ABOUT IT?

Well, I re watched the International trailer yesterday, as I hadn't watched it since it's initial release, and I have to say, it got me pumped up, especially with the new info from JAPPO and others. And you can clearly tell that isn't Goku Roshi is talking to when he says, "You are the only one who can do it!"

Well, if it was a plant, it has certaintly worked. I am sure me and most people who read the review will go into the theatre with greater expectations than we had before.

Well, that new screenshot with the strawberries (and wow does it make me think Yogurt Advertisement) certainly destroys any doubt I had about JAPPO's script's legitimacy. It's just way too specific.



Guh, strawberries are so sour by themselves though. @_@


I guess fruits film better than meat; as Goku's food fantasy in the new animated special included lots of different kinds of meat. (Also, he was alone in that dream sequence).

It screams "New Lowfat Yogurt; half the calories, twice the flavor."

I'm guessing that's a green-screen behind her and they're going to put some fanciful backdrop there in the final shot.

Heh...Of all the thing to fantasize about in the middle of class.
I completely respect your opinion, and I respect you. I enjoyed discussing this with you, even if I don't completely agree.

If we're all here for a reason then I'm just visiting.

If it's held in your heart then you can't let go.

She actually looks like chichi to an extent, but she need smore of a fringe and paler skin.
