Same shizzaz over here, though mabye a little less than 30 sagas on Gohan and Videl. :P
I don't see how a long-running show about our favorite Sentai couple could possibly be anything but sheer perfection. With a theme forged from the traditions of 80s mecha and sentai shows, garbled english and heroic themes of justice and love all around.

It'd be the best show ever. =p
YOU. ARE. CORRECT SIR.

And it would completely make up for the lack of any shown romanticism between the two on the original series.

I don't know what you mean there. They had a FAR more fleshed-out relationship than ANY other couple. I mean, considering we're talking about a cartoon and comic book for TEN YEAR-OLD BOYS, give or take a few years, that we got what we did was pretty impressive.

And they're fleshed out a bit in the movies, too. They actually had a narrative to the romance further than "Oh, marriage? That sounds tasty. Oh, oops, it's not a food? Crap. Well, I better marry you and knock you up now."

Yeah, but it could've been better. Don't just imply kissing in a movie, ACTUALLY SHOW US THE KISSING!

(Yes. I am a rabid GohanxVidel fanboy. Why do you ask?)

This Gohan and Videl sentai show you guys are talking about, I'm totally up for that. :D It sounds wonderful.


Would they recruit some of the other main characters to form a whole team? You know the typical 5-person squad? :3

I want to see Piccolo get roped into this somehow. Maybe Goten too.

I guess that would be cool, but it might shift the dynamic off of our OrangeStarcrossed lovers.

A Great Saiyaman Shôjo J-Drama that covers the wacky and heartbreaking soapy adventures of Gohan and friends in High School, all climaxing with some end of the year event where Gohan and Videl finally get together and...Boohan returns to attack the city?! It's up to their Love Love Tenkyô-ken to save the day!

Set it after the Buu arc. Mr. Satan, really liking the idea of his daughter marrying Goku's son, has the Son family move into his mansion so the youngsters can spend more time together. High School hi-jinx, fun with Goten (who of course, will spend a lto of time with his best friend Trunks), the adventures of Mr. Satan and Mr. Buu, and some evil otherdimensional baddie sending one monster at a time to Satan City so Great Saiyaman 1 and 2 can Sentai his ass to oblivion. With some "Piccolo-saving-Gohan" moments in there, since it wouldn't be Dragonball without them.

Like early Sailor Moon, just with a somewhat less ignored supporting cast.

What more can you ask for?

If I were in charge, it'd basically be an entire series based off the first few scenes of Movie 13 and the anime's Great Saiyaman mini-arc. =p

I'd personally stick with the Sentai duo.

This man/woman speaks so much truth.

So, we're all in agreement with my claim that Gohan and Videl need more love, literally and figuratively?

Man, thanks.

And um, I don't particularly care for romance stories myself. I just have a love of Super Sentai and I can handle a romantic subplot if the majority of it is told while fighting crime, natural disasters, and/or giant monsters with oddly rubbery skin/scales/feathers/etc.

The Ginyu Force should get their own spin-off series, Ginyu Farce. It takes place after the Buu Saga. The first episode would consist of the rest of the Ginyu Force escaping from Hell and discovering Frog Ginyu. Then they would set out on a quest to find the original Ginyu and change him back. They find him in Earth's woods, but he has befriended Android 17 as his pet, and 17 won't let them take him without a fight. Hilarious antics ensue.

Whatever the fuck the Z-Fighters have been doing in those 7 boring years after the Cell Games.

Oh, and maybe another DBZ ending where we saw Geezer-Goku (and maybe Geezer-Vegeta). Yay!

Also, a Great-Saiyaman spin-off and the adventures of Mr. Satan and Mr. Boo. I wanted to see more Mr. Satan-Boo moments, it would've been funny.
