They actually stopped doing that near the end of R. I believe they started calling the Negamoon the Black Moon (original name) or Dark Moon.. Can't remember.
I know. But I thought that was also the time that Cloveway took over from DIC. I was responding to the comment that, apart from the music, DIC did a better job than Cloveway, with wit and panache. Oh yes.

And, Amy, are you saying that Tuxedo Kamen isn't a hunkmeister?

I've never even heard anyone use the term "hunk", but "hunkmeister"? I have some people to kill.

I have 8 GT discs, Affliction through Salvation (The Baby Saga in other words).

And...

I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT!

SPOILER

Come on, when Pan made crazy Golden Ozaru Goku go SS4, the real kind of SSJ4 I mean, because he remembered Pan and all... did that not move anyone but me?

I actually quite like that bit too. It also does just about make a degree of sense, as far as power-ups go. It has been established that ozaru is a pretty massive power-up. Golden Ozaru is some kind of Super Saiyan influenced power-up, so if it could be somehow controlled and contained, then it would indeed by uber-super-OMH-powerful.

Doesn't explain why it looks so hideous, but there you go.

I don't think I want to see leather pants on hairy hulking Goku and Vegeta. I think I would actually prefer the parachute pants produced by fusion dance.

Super Saiya-jin 4 Veggie is the one with the leather pants. That're tight enough to make Gackt jealous. :lol:

Leather pants = Mega Justice power.

But if you think about it, this means the first DB series to be completeld by FUNimation is GT. Which is a shame because

1. I have no intention on getting it
2. it's the shortest one

Uncut Saiyan, Uncut Namek, Redone Ginyu-frieza-trunks, five-three more cell games, movies 10+, DB set 1, DB set 7, DB movies 1-2 uncut all take priority over this IMHO, but eh..

FUNimation, COME ON

Well Liam, as a matter of fact, yes, Tuxedo Kamen is good-looking enough, but I never find those pretty and effeminate types(in other words bishonen) types attractive, so ya, I don't think he is a "hunkmeister"! :P

And yes Vegita looks like a "burned out", aging Steve Tyler in his SSJ4 form. It's sad. And yes there were parts of GT that moved me such as Piccolo dying and Gohan losing him again(stupid, badly thought-out plot!), #18's reaction to losing Kuririn, and the final episode.

And ya, "Gen", Dayspring's right! How can you diss your own company?! Workplace morale starts with the you, you know! :D

Shit like that. Jokes nearly over, every time I make a post you call me something related to that. It's getting kinda annoying.

Leather pants... On poor Vegeta... Seeing him wearing those I can't help but think about just how uncomfortable those things must be. Maybe that's why he walks so stiff and with such short steps. If he took normal strides the seat would probably split. (that would just kill his pride...)

I've been rewatching GT lately, specifically the dub. I can't point out too much in the way of changes, since I no longer have the Japanese episodes with me. But god, is it bad. I'd though I was immune to bad voicing. Apparently not. Pan's voice... I don't really know how to describe it without using foul language. And the story changes... gack. Some of the animation is pretty (especially the bits with #17 before he became Super 17...), so that's about the only high point.

On the other hand, the Japanese version was pretty bad too. Vegeta became a violent (and butt-ugly) caricature of himself (didn't they pay attention to the fact that Porunga deemed Vegeta good of heart? Why the heck is he attacking the workers at the Budoukai?), everyone became mindless airheads, and the storyline was just plain... lame. The sort of thing you'd expect to see on Superfriends. Cell and Freeza teaming up? Villains returning to earth to wreak havoc instead of simply hiding until they can ditch the planet? It did have some high points, like Piccolo's death (he knew where the plot was headed and took the easy way out), and the final episode (though why the heck does Vegeta Jr. have a widow's peak?), but overall it was one big screw-up...

Eunuch, not trying to start a fight, but... we... you kinda brought the Gen jokes on yourself by playing it up to the point of no return when the OA guy started that crap. Yes, it's HIS stupidity that started it, but then you continued to go with it, even as far as an avatar with Gen, and it got to the point of annoyance. ERGO, it became kind of a motif, and now the jokes are driving you to the point of annoyance, just as you had done to us with the repeated comments.

Don't get me wrong, I'm on your side, and the OA guy, Saiyaman or whatever his name is, was an idiot to suggest that... but when something stupid is said, it's best to forget it after the initial comeback rather than drag it out.

My advice? Let's all shut up about it. It NEVER HAPPENED. Nobody ever called you Gen.

Deal?
