The heroes of “Battle Stadium D.O.N.” (and Shueisha in general, really!) made an appearance in “Second Life” on December 22-23 as a special promotion for Jump Festa going on over in Japan at that time: Players could gather the Dragon Balls, win items, and more. If you are into that sort of thing, I guess …
Tanooki Kuribo let us know that there is a supposedly “limited edition” Japanese figure of Goku up for pre-order over on Play-Asia: It stands around 36 cm / 14 in, comes out in April 2008, and will run you around $16. Not too bad.
Emmy Rossum, playing the role of Bulma in the movie, posted up some tidbits in her MySpace blog talking about the movie and her experiences thus far. Sorry I’ve been rather quiet for a bit, I’ve been working on a very exciting new film that I’m shooting outside the US. I’m working with the great …

Chow Yun-Fat has indeed joined the cast of the live action movie! He will be playing Kame-Sen’nin (Master Roshi), lending at least a little more authority to the cast. Apparently director James Wong also tried to get some more Asian talent, including Edison Chen and Jitty Zhang Yuqi.
hoyCinema has posted a few photos from the set of the upcoming live action Dragon Ball movie. Nothing really special yet — honestly, it looks more like “hey, the guy has arrived on the set” more than anything truly substantial. Emmy Rossum has at least been confirmed as playing Bulma, though.
Now that an official website has been set up for the game, we actually have some confirmation on certain things! The upcoming fighter for the Xbox 360 & PlayStation 3 is indeed being developed by Dimps and has actually been in development for a bit (Dimps is not exactly rusty, either; the “Shin Budokai” and …
Episode #0107 of the podcast is available for download! We took it back to a character-specific topic, and again focused on the changing voices of that character.
