How will you celebrate DB's 25th anniversary on Dec. 3rd?

Post by plusloud » Wed Dec 02, 2009 8:34 am

In less than 150 minutes, December 2nd becomes December 3rd in Japan. On December 3rd, 1984, Dragonball was first released in Shonen Jump 1984-51. How will you be celebrating?

I'll be doing an impromptu quiz session with some of my students tomorrow.
Umm... just call me Remy, already. :p

Well, seeing as I have the day off, I'll be popping in the Dragonbox and plugging away at Attack of the Saiyans on my DSi.

I also picked up the latest DBZ Vizbig a few weeks ago and haven't read so much as a page, so if I want to truly make a day of it, I might read a chapter or two :P.

Well... I'm not really sure... Maybe I'll rewatch the first 13 episodes, maybe I'll re-read the first 2 volumes of the manga, maybe I'll just watch the Dragon Box...

*Gasp* It's so sudden! If I knew this earlier I would've arranged some sort of little event with a pile of DVDs, games and manga's!!

Guess I'll celebrate it by reading the manga then. Even though I was already doing so before going to sleep lately. ^^"

I'll try to convince my roomate to watch more DBZ, we've been watching the show since we moved in together back in september 2008, starting with the Pilaf arc, we're now mid Buu arc. I'll see if we can't get good headway to the end (we only have about 35 eps left).

I'll finish Disc 6 of the Dragon Box. And maybe play some Shin Budokai. Not much else I can do right now lol.

Maybe if I have the time, I'll start over on the Dragon Box lol.

I'm drawing congratulations-on-your-anniversary artwork for it; though I probably won't be finished with it in time, belated still counts. ^^;


Also, gonna watch some episodes on my DBox.

I'm probably going to re-read the first volume of Dragon Ball.
Just another Dragon Ball fangirl in the world.

DB & Tiger and Bunny are my main fandoms, along with many other animes.

By announcing my really cool and unique online Dragonball projects. It's gotta become December 3rd over here first, though.

Also, I'll probably sell some stuff.

I don't know how I can celebrate, really. Perhaps I'll just read my entire collection of Dragon Ball manga until I doze off.

I'll probably teach a dinosaur to ride a ball.

And by "teach a dinosaur to ride a ball" I mean "study my ass off for my Calculus final" ... :(

I'll organize my Dragon Ball hentai collection first by series THEN by character rather than the opposite, which is how I usually catalogue it.

Seriously though, I don't know. It'd be cool if there was a big 'thing' we could all do for it. I'll probably just do some Yamucha stuff. Seeing as I blew my Friday update prematurely, I have to make up for it.

I don't know for sure, maybe buy Season 1 and 2 of the remaster sets of Dragon Ball part I.

Well, I would probably start my journey in the Japanese version of the anime, but I still need my Dragonbox.

So I guess I'll be on here, read a little manga. Normal stuff. :P
