Didn't Funi say they're going after it as well as the Playdia instructional OVA bullshit? I heard that somewhere, maybe from an email they're very vague with their answers...

Bastards.

I, too, want to, as well, see Goku holding said axe, also.

Second, noone loses money from file sharing. It's not theft, it's just not buying. Not buying something doesn't mean they make less money. If your problem was with the production company not getting a cut, you'd be against used DVDs too.

Third, graffiti is an important form of cultural expression.

To sum up: your reasoning is both flawed and in an improper place; let's just talk about the new special we will never see.
noone

It's actually no one.

Back on topic, still waiting for those pics. You should rant less about legalities of Dragon Ball related crap and rant more about the lack of the winrar with character model sheets.

It's killing me that EX and crew have copies of these character model sheets and haven't shared a link with us yet. :cry:


Yesterday I pm'd the other guy Wasted Washer sent the rars to, to see if he got them, but I haven't received a reply. :(

I am quite sure when EX crew get a chance to get online they will share the images with us.

Hmm, someone better walk in there with a camera and walk out with a nice bootleg.

Then upload said bootleg onto a torrent website.

Julian said in the last podcast that he only managed to find out how to apply for a ticket the very day of the deadline for the Osaka screening. And it seems Hujio's efforts to have some of his friends in Japan get me a ticket hasn't panned out*. So right now I've started to seriously consider sneaking in somehow. I'll go to Hell of course, but if I'm lucky it'll be filler Hell.

*I'm leaving for Tokyo tomorrow**.

**Not to see this anime special, mind you, but to study abroad.

Crap. So the only thing remotely close to the Osaka screening is a my major "maybe." That's reassuring. **gonk**

Explanation:
My friend and her best friend went to Japan for three weeks (today marks two weeks). They've been going all over the friggin' country seeing its landmarks, as well as to place like Square-Enix (where the life-size Sephiroth with real human hair is found), Ghibli, etc.

One of the people they've been visiting has tickets to the Osaka premiere. One for himself, one for his sister. If his sister doesn't want to go, he'll bring my friend's friend, as she's the bigger Shonen Jump fan of the two.

Like I said, longshot. :(

I'm just saying that you should stop blaming Peter Noone for everything. :( He is actually a nice guy and doesn't afraid of anything.

Here's a thought: in another thread it was brought up that maybe the Ginyu Squad were made into mutants. In other words, the mutants in Freeza's army were artificially mutated, as opposed to the randomly occuring natural mutations of individuals that I always assumed took place. However, aside from the fact that mutants exist, and that Jeece and Ginyu specifically are mutants, we don't know anything about them.

A few times I brought up the possibility that Avo and Kado were cloners. What if they are actually scientists in Freeza's army responsible for artificially inducing mutations?

It would fit into the general belief of Frieza, the Saiyans, and all other space species that power level is more or less a fixed thing, even from birth. The idea that you are either born with power or not could, especially in the case of a certainly fairly evil empire, lead to some questionable mutation and/or cloning experimentation to create super-soldiers.

Mike has posted the 4 designs that we have already seen from Wanted Wisher on the main page, but didn't mention the others (but he did say "a whole metric crap-ton" so I'm sure he has a lot more than 4). I bet he's just waiting for some confirmation on whether or not these are official.

Oh ya, and I think Mike made a grammar error!

So that's all it is? He just isn't sure if they're authentic or not yet?

WHEW! I'm relieved. :mrgreen:

I was so frustrated thinking that they were proven real and no one would share the images with us. ^^;;


I hope you can get a confirmation one way or the other soon, Mr. EX.

Even if they turned out to be unofficial, I'm still kind of interested in seeing them. :P
