50 down, 50 to go. He's halfway there.

A party, eh? I'll bring the nachos.

They should have two versions of Shonen Jump in my opinion : Edited - for the kids who like Yu-Gi-Oh. Unedited - for the fans who dont like thier manga toiled with. The Unedited one should be subscriber only... That'd be cool, no more beef from the soccer moms... They'd probably charge extra for th...

Damn it, I missed out on another DaizEx prank.

IGN gave it a 4 out of 10. Ouch.

- Blaring grunge-rock opening theme
- Highly emotional episode centered around Gohan

Like bread and butter FUNi, like bread and butter...

Cheers to FUNimation for targeting their Teen-Angst audience!

There are some new videos up at IGN.com. A lot of the animation looks really choppy and quite uncomfortable to view at times.

A good portion of DBZ had sketchy animation.

From the Anime Labs fansub, I also recall seeing a screencap of Nappa and Goku dropping the F-bomb each.

Dragon Ball Z has aired in 42 countries. I might translate the list later tonight. I figured 15 was too small. Considering North America as one country cheesed me a little. Bad design, but I think those are the correct number of languages (up to 1999 anyway). So does Canada count as one, seeing as ...

The sad thing is that some people are absolutely terrible typists/writers. Two of my roommates are really nice guys, but they have a lot of difficulty spelling and using proper grammar. It's not as if they do it intentionally; some people have a lot of difficulty with linguistic skills. And English ...

These original art pieces that FUNimation has been getting for their covers are super good.

*looks at wallet*

Auuughh...

Hold out and wait for boxed sets. Cheaper in the long run.

I was watching Goku vs. Piccolo which was on TV just a little while ago, and made me think how much more awesome that battle could have been with Ian Corlett and Scott McNeil. I actually saw the Blue Water version with two relatively decent voice actors playing the two parts (I unfortunately don't k...

That's what smoking does to you. >_> <_<

With their censoring of Hell, I preferred how towards the end of DBZ in the edited version they simply referred to it as "Down Below". Creative way of saying Hell without actually using the word "Hell". The Blue Water dub of GT referred to it as "Hades" which was cool....

In the DVD of The Matrix (the first one), there was a feature entitled "follow the white rabbit." Every time the rabbit appeared on the screen, you'd press <ENTER> on your remote and it'd take you to an explanation of a visual effect. Seems to be what they're riffing on with "follow ...

On the Uncut Vegeta saga DVD's there is an extra called "Follow The Nimbus Cloud" On Amazon.com someone said: "Follow The Nimbus Cloud: Feature added to show the difference in footage from the Edited and Uncut that can be choosen from the menu" This sounds like maybe the Nimbus ...

He should have made a comment about random gibberish using Japanese syllables.

I see. So the information I knew I wasn't supposed to know until much later anyway. I guess that's the price when you see DBZ before DB.

Thanks for all of your help, guys.

Peh, they can put whatever they want in their ads, as long as the subtitles in the Ultimate Uncut Edition are accurate. I couldn't debate whether they are either way since I don't know a lick of Japanese, but regardless, I should probably save up.

I dunno how the dub handled it, but a similar thing happens in the Japanese version. Goku will address that, later (be it next episode or the episode after, or something like that... not sure... but he does). Even episodes later, Kami himself tells Goku to go ahead and kill Piccolo, and reinforces ...
