He hasn't regretted it, or so he claims.
Kyle Hebert ain't stalk-worthy. Or at least, not . . . say, "Christopher Sabat" stalk-worthy.
That man has utterly
refused to give out his AIM, and I can see why. The fandom has such a love/hate relationship with him that I don't envy him the messages he would be getting.

I once heard Sabat's email was
dbzvox@yahoo.com but it certainly seems that one does not work.

It could just be out of date. Kara Edwards' addy used to be
gotensva@yahoo.com for the longest time, but she's been through two e-mail changes since then and keeps telling me "this is the last time I'll change it".

Something tells me the plot line to this special will be a bit lacking, like some of the movies, but... WHO CARES!? It's new Dragonball!

Seriously, I can't wait for November 24th, if anything just to see some more of that pretty artwork.
I can't wait to watch the One Piece special either. It's so cool how much One Piece and DBZ cross over since those are by far my two favorite anime series of all time.

DragonBall ain't been about plot since the series ended, and I can't recall a movie outside of 13 that had anything close.

Not that Movie 13's plot made any real sense (the whole Trunks getting the sword thing at the end)...

Everything in movie 13 implies that it's the same sword future Trunks has. The daizenshuu even states that is. Saying it's an identical but different sword is ridiculous.

It's the only way that Movie 13 works on any sort of level that doesn't leave a path of broken, busted brains in its wake.

There's much, much, more that shows it can't work.

None of the movies really fit in to any timeline... I view them as lovely "What If!?" stories and nothing more. As far as I'm concerned Dragonball-DBZ is as close to what "really happened" in this fictional universe as it gets with movies and GT being fun what if stories.
Movie 13's ending strongly implies that it's the same exact sword future trunks uses because it mixes in video of him using it in the credits (if I remember correctly)... sooooo yeahhhh...
And thanks Lemmy, for liking my name haha.

Do we know how long this special will be up and streaming? I'm not totally sure if I'll be home on the 24th, and it would be great if I could watch it the next day.
Thanks, and sorry if this has been asked/answered already.

I hear the special's a little over a half hour long.
And if they mean the 24th as in midnight, Japan time, that means it'll be up here around noon on the 23rd. :3

Blargh. I don't think you have anything to worry about. Considering all the promotion they're putting into sharing this with fans around the world, I sincerely doubt that it's gonna be something they stream for just one day.
Remember, the press release says that it
starts streaming on the 24th.

Oh shoot. ^^;
I'm sorry.
That's totally proof that I should get to sleep earlier. 4 hours does not a good night's rest make.

I just registered here so it may be too late in this topic to announce that I am extremely giddy as a school girl excited for this special but... uhhh I am. lol.
I know it probably isn't going to be anything amazing, they only have 35 minutes afterall... but if it at least gives us that DB touch... that zany humorous side along with some fighting I'll be happy. And it looks like that's what the special is designed to do.

Considering it's a Jump Festa movie, 35 minutes is a hell of a good duration. Aren't they usually 5-15 minutes long? The Dr Slump 1999 Festa (aka movie 11 to the fans) was only five and half minutes.

Yes actually. Sat down on the couch and passed out for an hour. XD
I feel much better (and more alert).
Five minute movie? That's....how much could they have accomplished?

It's what the little Raudo chapter found in the Slumpbox was based on. Mashirito (or whatever the name of the guy is) made another anti-Arale bot called "Abale." This one is a punk Arale. Her version of "Kiiiiiin" is to pretend she's riding a motorcycle and goes "Vrooooooom". She ends up ignoring the Mashirito the whole time. From what I've heard (the version I saw on youtube is unsubbed), the Raudo gave King Nicochan a scout ship to return home in exchange for taking Arale with them. They do, but when the Raudo invasion ship arrives, so does Abale. The Raudo then teleports down a monster to defeat her, but Abale takes it out in one hit, so the Raudo have to retreat again. The movie ends with Arale and Gatchan enjoying their trip to space. That description is pretty much the length of the movie.
