It looks much better in person. I found it at the Heroes con in Charlotte. Horribly dull place...

None that I can see.
Huh, that's weird. The original Jump anime comics editions of the movies came with fold-out posters.
Hmm, anybody know of anyone who owns all of them and happens to also have a scanner? :D

How is the other track on the CD? Better or was than The Invincible Aura's Energy, in your opinion?

According to Hujio, Kid Trunks bought the Jump re-issues of the movie anime comics. In addition to having different covers, these have the fold-out posters from the original editions printed as simply regular pages.

Oh, I do! I do!

I own all of the original and and re-issue film comics. But I haven't gotten around to scanning them yet, well... not all of them anyway. :D Slowly but surely, they'll be up on Kanzentai at some point.

"Over the Star" is a slow melodic sort of song. Almost completely opposite of "Yeah! Break! Care! Break!" Not that that's bad, but it's not a song we'll be seeing used in DragonBall Kai, I hope.

I've got mixed feelings about the tips of the hair and how white they are, but it's undeniably one of the most visually stunning figures put out to date.

More doujinshi. Two average dragonball fan books a little bit of chichi goku romance, YES* and Aishitezzo!. And the last...*Ahem*...Was donated for my dbz fan club, Bikini Dragon Ponchin. I took the liberty of censoring the front cover.

When people donate doujins to my club they're usually old or damaged. To be honest I didn't except the last one to be a brand new adult book. Not quite what I was expecting so... I guess I was thankful?

Yeesh, did the creators really think those proportions (and I'm using that term loosely) were sexy? And I thought the women in the One Piece anime were freakish-looking. Interesting finds though.

That's nothing you should see the way Lunch is drawn in the book (which I can't show for obvious reasons) but I'm gald to know that I'm not the only one who thought the OP women had oddly shaped bodies.

It's not so bad in the manga, but the anime really takes it to an absurb extreme, or at least some of the animators do. As far as the manga goes, my problem with the female character designs isn't so much that their proportions are skewed, as much as it is that their proportions are all exactly the same, like they were made with a cookie cutter.

But anyway, DragonBall. The last thing I bought was Daizenshuu 8, the first Carddass one. I bought the second one from Tanooki Kuribo awhile back, so now I have all the daizenshuu. I don't care too much for card games, but I am quite a completionist, so it was only a matter of time before I bought it. At any rate, some of the pictures inside are nice, and it has a nifty feature where it shows you where the manga, anime, and movies were up to when each series of cards was released. And best of all, I managed to get it for fairly cheap, about 10,000-15,000 yen or so ($10-15). I bought a bunch of other stuff with it, so I don't really remember the exact price.

I have, but that hardly cancels out the previous 500+ chapters of all named female characters between the ages of 13 and 30 looking like different heads pasted on the same body (Alvida being the main exception, but even she was converted). Heck, even in Amazon Lilly, there's only two basic real shapes: the same old Barbie figure, and very fat. Apart from that, Oda sets the Kuja apart by giving them various odd facial features, and by making some extremely short and others extremely tall, but body-wise they still all fall into those two types.
