Oh I read that as more of a "tentacle monsters are coming at me with their intruding long green penis like appendages" look...but that may be just me. >_>

Anyone who thinks a cartoon character is hot has problems.

Guess I have problems.
If challenge had a taste, you'd be quite delicious.

Goku's nerdy friend from school. His best friend at school. Not a fighter. Small role in the movie. Role will be bigger in next 2 movies. The actor has a perfect British accent.

English accent.

And though it's unlikely, it doesn't say he isn't a fighter...

England is in Great Britain. Hence, an English accent is a British accent. An Scottish accent is a British accent. A Welsh accent is a British accent.

So technically, I was right. But, thanks for the correction, or further explanation.

I wouldn't worry about the OC introduced at school as being a fighter. It is extremely unlikely.

Technically, yes, if the English accent they were referring to was Queen's English.

"English accent" is quite vague, it could refer to any of many regions.

I just took at is as meaning "This Spanish-speaking Mexican actor speaks English very well".

Just to avoid being too specific, it's easier to say English instead of British, hence why they said "English" and not "British" in the article.

If Dragon Ball turns out like the X-Men trilogy, I will be more than happy (obviously not the same story but you get the idea).

Let's not forget about independent films they have released that were good too... Juno, Little Miss Sunshine... okay, that's off-topic but still. Just because FOX plants their huge logo over the movie, doesn't mean it will suck.

(Oh, and I watch a few shows on their TV station too. Prison Break, 24, etc. they are kind of like movies).
the third x-men movie was an abortion to all things x-men. As on the fence as I may be with this movie, I believe the DB movie will still be far superior to that disaster area.

Please Fox, don't destroy my two favorite comic/manga entities in your movies.
I liked X-Men 3. I thought it was the best of them all. Tho I have to admit I'm not a fan of the comic.

Yeah, and the dub of Dragonball Z with Fulconer's music is "Dragonball for a broader audience" as well. Look how that turned out compared to the original.
Faulconers music was WAY BETTER than the old 80s japanese music the original db and dbz series used. The only music that was nice from the original was the one when Goku is receiving the energy from all the people of earth in the last episodes. You can find the song in ares with the following name: " 10 [theatrical dbz suites] extreme battle!! the 3 super saiya-jin " it starts at minute 8 or so.

Thats the only song that is good from the original japanese audio. The rest suck. Faulconer´s music was better.

I think that's just their plan for if the first one does good enough. If it bombs, there's no way they're gonna do more.

As for Fushar - You do realize you're on the DaizEx forums and bashing the original Japanese music? You might wanna put on your flame retardent jacket. :roll:

As much as I love Kikuchi's score, I'm more bothered by the fact that he's telling people how and where to pirate it.

That's Fox for you, already planning on milking it for all it's worth. :lol:

I just hope it isn't one of those movies that draw in a massive audience that loves the actual movie and knows nothing of the rest of the series, as what has happened with the Transformers movie and what the Robotech movies will probably do.
I really, really need to get back into the habit of posting.

I suspect that this 'training' for the Bulma character is the simple self defense training. If those ninja/whatever goons for Piccolo are going to be causing a ruckus I can see Bulma kicking on of 'em in the sweet spot... :shock:

Well, there's nothing overtly wrong with seeing the movie Transformers and liking it even though you know nothing of the series, just as long as you don't claim the movie as the only official canon. I know nothing of Transformers older stuff, so I don't claim to. I just love the movie.

Now wait a sec, there's a Robotech movie in development to? Holy crap, Hollywood seems to have randomly discovered anime all of a sudden, cuz that's like the 7th movie in development or being filmed at the moment. ^_^
