If I were in Toriyama's shoes, I'd have worked with Toei to make some anime specials that tell each major story arc as a series of feature-length movies. It would really cut down on filler.

I would have ended it at the Pilar Arc. Just to see how it dramatically changes our lives! :twisted:
I completely respect your opinion, and I respect you. I enjoyed discussing this with you, even if I don't completely agree.

If we're all here for a reason then I'm just visiting.

If it's held in your heart then you can't let go.

Sasu/Naru is shorthand for Sasuke/Naruto, because apparently it's way too hard to add two more letters to each.
Dunno who Sasuke is, but suddenly glad I didn't decide to Google it.

You made the right choice. Not because its Yaoi, but because we don't need to bring Naruto into this.

Don't they usually combine the names of the two characters into one? Like fusion characters, only instead of combining into a super fighter...they're having sex with rose petals falling in the background?

I'm surprised they don't go with something like Sasuto.

Fossil? I'd like to introduce you to Rocketman. Rocketman is loud and angry most of the time- it's the nature of the thing, like how the ocean is wet and Goku eats a lot and the tides rise and fall.

...And if you don't take it too seriously, it's usually pretty funny.
