I know TFS dislike GT, but Heroes Legacy is pretty decent. It's better then most of GT in my opinion.

We spoiled the top three picks?
Damn, you guys really made it sound like BOG was #2 with the light hearted line and all. Guess I was wrong.
Heroes come and go, but legends are forever.

Of course it's number 1. You played Janken with Oolong, nothing less than #1 is deserving of that.

Despite strongly disagreeing with this choice, I really loved this DBcember. It was always the first thing I checked when getting home from work. Considering the DBZA audience, I think these reviews might actually do some good in providing insight to dub fans. Thanks TFS, and I'm really looking forward to what you guys come up with next year.
Dude, relax. Is just their list, their personal taste, don't take it as if it were a list made with fan votes or something

I agree, Toriyama failed with us wtih DB Minus.

Well, every DB/Z movie is light-hearted compared to the Bardock special.

I wonder if KaiserNeko hates DBE more than GT. :think:

Can't say I disagree with BoG being #1. That being said, their explanation for their love for Beerus and Whis makes me really interested in seeing a DBCember for characters next. *wink* *notsosubtlewink*

FF7 Machinabridged Episode 10 is out and two things come to mind.

1. Tifa pressed Cloud's button.
2. Aerith's rape face at the save file selection at the end of the episode.

Well we certainly know Lani hates Cooler's 2nd movie. He made sure to remind us of that in DBCember.

I had a feeling for a while that Battle of Gods might be #1, and I was glad to not be disappointed on that front! That's one choice that I agree with completely, and know for a fact it would be in the same place on mine. It has everything that a Dragon Ball movie needs, and it does each of those things well, arguably better than any film before it did. I'm sure being the first new film in years, direct from Toriyama no less, helped it quite a bit, but the main reason it was such a success IMO is just that it's that plain good. That's part of what makes Resurrection 'F' falter a bit too, since it follows just on the heels of this one.

Anyway, it won't be nearly as comprehensive (nor in video form), since to really make a 100% judgement of any sort, I'd need to re-watch the movies, but hopefully later today I'll have my own ranking list ready to post, with at least some vague reasons as to why I like or dislike a certain feature.

Kaiser, for BoG you have it's director as Tadayoshi Yamamuro, but Yamamuro didn't direct Battle of Gods. It was Masahiro Hosoda who directed it.

That was a great DBcember! Obviously, not everyone had the same opinions, but I think you did a good job explaining why each movie/special was where it was. And I don't think anyone can really argue with your #1 choice.

And now Episode 51 is tomorrow? I am SO excited!
I could have gotten into anything...and yet I chose the story aimed at young Japanese boys about martial arts, and later about super-powerful aliens punching each other really hard.

You use premiere right? Couldn't you just make a quick edit of the text overlay and re-render it? Or am I not remembering premiere correctly?

Well yeah, he could edit it, but then they'd have to reupload the entire video. I assume that also would mean RIP all comments already made.

...

*Sighs.*

No, actually, I can just upload the fixed version, switch out the encode, and nothing will have changed.

I just have to re-export both it, the Compilation version, then re-upload them both. On Christmas Eve. While my husband is already angry I'm still working.

Which I'm doing right now, because ugh, I have to have some semblance of integrity...

Huh, that's a handy way of handling video content. What's the ellipsis and sighing for? Surely not for me making an incorrect assumption? :?

Nope, it's from me realizing that I'm spending the next two hours fixing my fuck up.
