I... I got so close. SO DAMN CLOSE. ARGH. MAD. Anyway! I found Toriyama's style to be quite easy to discern from about every doujinshi. The ones that tricked me were the two Majin Vegeta images, two landscape images, as well as that one pic of Goku kicking Uub. That was damn near identical. So yeah,...

I'm not even completely grading some of these. For example, the best one so far is a 96%. As I'm grading, if this particular sheet has at least five wrong, they're obviously out... so I just stop there. It keeps me from going insane. All of the answers, such as where the images come from , will be ...

Well, it's only been two hours, and you gotta remember Daizex has a lot of visitors who aren't from America and thus from a different time zone, as well. For instance, it's five AM here. Wheeee!!

Will you be putting up the runner-ups, or basically all scores, on the site as well? Because I really do wanna know if I even got so much as close, because that would really increase my disappointment. Then I could bury myself in my shame and cry myself to sleep. That would be so awesome . Seriously...

My guess is the winner will only be made known immediately if someone sends in a 100 % correct answer. If that doesn't happen, EX'll just sit out the 24 hour period...

Sent in mine, too, but my hopes aren't really that high.

Overall I would say I prefer FUNi's way of acting over the Ocean Group's, but I simply prefer the Ocean Group's voices a lot. Kaioshin might not have the best voice for acting, but frankly FUNi's version just sounded horribly. Same for Dabura and *shivers* Buu. For some reason Ocean simply picks out...

I don't think that's at all the intention: It looks more like one of Toriyama's run-of-the-mill dog characters, if you observe the distance from the ears. Besides, I severely doubt Toriyama would take anything from Garfield, taken as he's likely not even heard of it. But isn't that Hello Kitty up fr...

Except for maybe Naoki Urasawa-san's work, all of my favorite Manga is mainstream (in the Japanese sense).
Well, Naoki Urusawa is pretty well known in Japan... But then again, everything depends on what you view as ''mainstream''.

TOEI has put out all of the series, remastered, on DVD. And yes, the quality is miles above the American version. Add that to the fact I simply prefer the Japanese music and voices so much, my choice is pretty clear. Of course, I got introduced to the series via the dub, so it still holds a certain ...

Oh man... That was fantastic. One of the most lovable parodies I've seen in quite a while. And really... That's about all I can say about it. I also liked the way the original manga scenes being parodied were put in. I doubt some stuff would have made as much sense to me, otherwise... Porunga kicks ...

How about you both stop it? Yes, Mr. Allen is acting like an inconsiderate asshole, but it's pretty much EX's job to sort stuff like that out. The way this is going, you two'll be bickering back in forth for a few pages. Besides, this topic is long dead.

I don't really think they started making episodes a hundred years ago, so I can safely say that calculation is a wee bit off, Fuujin.

The Dutch releases of Dragon Ball (By Glenat) are cut in half for their releases. In other words, Pedro's reckoning of Dutch volume 6 would be volume 3 using the actual volume count. So if you were to recalculate, Pedro's page listings would still be correct... And yes, this makes it overall more ex...

I agree, but... There are many ''ex''-Dragon Ball fans. Over half of the people I've spoken to who hate and despise Dragon Ball and bash it on every occasion used to be huge fans of the show themselves. Now they pretend to be ashamed of it and bash it, because the general idea apparently has become ...

Yes, Kenshin is awesome, but the amount of typos and grammatical errors that have started to become more frequent since it became monthly have started to get slightly on my nerves.
