Just watched episode 7 and the musical. Man, that was priceless.

Popo is the greatest character ever, and MasakoX is just amazing as Goku.

"I'm Taka!" Nappa is voiced by Takahata101

Also the full cast list on their youtube page has the list going all the way up to Kid Buu..... who ironically will also be voiced by Takahata101.

Aww thanks. ^^ I'd love to do a scene like that - I love doing power screams and other foley. We all do, it's the best part of doing DBZ.

Not according to Vic Mignogna!

Hey, TeamFourStar, how do you guys handle script writing? Do you write a rough then pass it around, or does one person cover the jokes n' stuff?

That is, if you want to disclose this information to your humble fans.

Basically, the writing process involves a Ouiji board, a bottle of scotch, three pints of goats blood, a 250 year old shaman-priest who has mastered the ways of eternal life, a virgin sacrifice, and some green tea.

Also, Taka, Lani and I all sitting around and watching Youtube versions of the episode, throwing around jokes for each scene, comparing whether or not they go against the character's 'character', conflicts with continuity, will have long lasting ramifications in the story that will effect other jokes, or are otherwise funny or not. We tend to pick a joke to end on, something that really sets up for the outro, along with proper intro jokes, then work from there.

As well, we take input from the rest of the team if they give it, openly accepting any jokes from close friends who are connected with the project if we find that they fit in with the plot. We do try and keep it in the writing team, of course, but every once in a while the other guys will give us a gem.

Which isn't to say the whole team isn't made up of great writers, but you know the saying: Too many cooks can ruin the pot. Or something like that.

Funny enough, a lot of the jokes we've come up with were conceived within the first week of the show. In fact, you could say that Episode 8 was written before Episode 4! The one episode we had the most trouble with in terms of writing was probably Episode 6 as the actual footage was hell to work with, though the jokes we had came rather easily.

Also! Episode 10?

Three.

Parter.

Also, Episode 8 will be out tonight! =D

Kaiser I said this earlier but I think you may not have seen it, why isn't TeamFourStar a youtube partner? You guys get tons of views so don't you think it would be worth it?

Sweet. Though, despite the lack of outside influence usually, I'd still LOVE to see Nappa singing Dan Dan. :p

And perhaps a foaming-mouth Nappa joke?

I hope there are plans to edit the opening to match then-current sagas.

Also, We Gotta Power.

Nappa running off to have fun was my favorite part. X3

Also the return of "Are we there yet." made me laugh.

Tenshinhan, wasn't anything like how he's supposed to be in the Dub. You guys decided to keep everyone of Tenshinhan's attacks, etc. in Japanese?

Great Episode...The 2'nd half especially kicked ass. But wow, a 3 parter for Episode 10? That'll wind up being longer than an actual Episode.
