I'll crop and resize it for you. Gimme a few minutes.

EDIT: Here you go. Save it and then slap it on your own Photobucket or something.

On the 3d vs 2d thing, I do think that 3d can be done right in cutscenes, and Burst Limit seems to be achieving this.

As for the Pixar thing mentioned earlier, I actually prefer their movies over the stuff Disney has been throwing out by itself. The storylines are really good, and the computer animation is some of the best in America. However, if it was in 2D, it was be just as great if not better.

I saw "Meet the Robinsons" and I'll agree it was worse than what Pixar have been putting out.

However animation aside, crap like Finding Nemo (I have no idea why anyone liked that movie) and Ratatouille don't hold a candle (story wise) to the earlier Disney stuff (The Lion King, Aladdin, Robin Hood etc)

To me it's a step backwards in both storytelling and animation.

This is the smallest picture I can find of Super Saiyan 5.
I wish people would stop calling that SSJ5. It's not SSJ5, it's AF's version of SSJ4. AF is not a continuation of GT, it's a replacement.

I liked Finding Nemo, it was fun.

On topic: I think something done in the style of the trailer for DBO would be awesome. That's what quality CGI animation looks like.

My thoughts: They won't make a new series out of the movie, to get back on topic.

If my thoughts are wrong: I will bury myself in a hole until the show is cancelled.
That's all I gotta say about it!

Thx, but for 1 thing, half of the backround image is missing... And 2, you have to put in a URL for the image. If you can just paste an image, then i could just go to Microsoft Word and make it smaller, but you can only add avatar image by URL.

The very fact you can see the image Kaboom made for you, means that he has hosted it somewhere for you, it is a simple case of just right clicking on the image an selecting "Copy Image Location" :|

And beggars can't be choosers, if you want something different...do it yourself?

Thry just came out with a new Dr. Slump series that includes Dragonball. I thought Dr. Slump was over, just like Dragonball, but there it is, a new series of Dr. Slump which originally was over. This contribute to my point of a new Dragonball series/re-make in a couple of years. How do I konw there's a new Dr. Slump series? I saw a few videos on http://youtube.com, then I resaerched the new Dr. Slump series on http://google.com. They even made a new movie in 2007 as said on http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Slump. If Akira Torryama's Dr. Slump can get a new re-make/series, than so can Dragonball, they just choose not to for some reason. [/code]

Well, the dimensions were kinda bad for an avatar. If I resized it to fit without cropping, it'd be blurred together and you couldn't see anything. That's the best I can do, so take it or leave it, I guess.

...And I know full well how to resize, host, and post pictures on the internet. I don't want you to just copy the image location though, which is why I put it up this way so you could save the image and host it on your own space somewhere. Please do so quickly so I can take it off my PhotoBucket.

Yeah, because Dragon Ball is used as such a huge merchandising powerhouse in its native land to this day it's almost sickening (well aside from the video games), so it's pretty understandable that they wouldn't make a new series. My guess would be is that when Dragon Ball is in its near death, then they would make a new series in attempts to resurrect the interests and appeal to new fans alike.

I do agree, Disney(and childrens shows in general) were a lot better back then, before 2000. I was just comparing things made beyond that.
AF is not a continuation of GT, it's a replacement.
That really depends on who's writing it. :wink:



On the new series. If they do make it, and it is CG, I think I'd prefer it to be Burst Limit style(Although, I'll have to go watch the DBO trailer again to see if I change my mind, I haven't seen it since it came out.)

Wait, you can make images smaller in Microsoft Word? :shock: I didn't know that.

Okay, what SSj Kaboom meant for you to do is to Right-Click and Save the image to your computer, then upload it onto a website like Photobucket.com, which will give you a URL for your image once you upload it. Only thing is, you have to sign up for an account (which is actually very nice, cause you can keep all your internet images together).

If you don't want to sign up, you can upload your image on to Imageshack.us really quick-like. Make sure that when you save your avatar, it saves to a place where you can find it later. :D

On a related note, I'd watch the new Dragon Ball series even if the story and the art sucked ass, at least until I die from heart failure or decide to kill myself. I would prefer the story to be good however (whether a retelling or a rewrite at any point in the story), and for the art to be moderately sexy (2D or 3D, I don't care, so long as it's not Sparking!).
What's scarier than a DBZ H-game?

OK, my avatar is gone! Plz get back to the topic. Wy did Akira Torryama/Toei Animation make a new Dr. Slump series but not Dragonball? It dosen't make sense. Are they waiting for it to die, and then make a new series, like Dr. Slump? If thats the case, there gona have to wait a while. And I'm sick of waiting!
