Wow, what a great AMV!
Sad that you are not going to continue with AMVs, but this was a great way to end it!

That was awesome! Thanks a lot for this!
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.
Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Great job! I wish I could edit stuff like that
The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128

Of course, now that I finally decide to enter AMV contests, you decide to retire. I was so excited to compete against you to see who could make the best Dragonball AMV! I suck though. I'm still an amateur
. You were one of my inspirations, man. It's so sad to see you go.
Anyway, you didn't dissapoint with this new video. It still boggles my mind how you can be so good. The entire story to the video was perfectly executed. I loved how you kept it consistent from the previous video by making Sakura a Super Saiyan. The scene selection was also great! I guess it has to be to make the 2 different shows flow as well as it did lol. It's a shame you can't enter it at Otakon though. I would have loved to see it on the big screen myself.

Thanks everyone! I'm glad you all enjoyed it!
Drabaz: It'll be shown at Otakon, but only during the overflow.

I had originally entered it into the main Otakon AMV contest, but they have an "anti-trolling" rule where if you win prizes somewhere else, you can't compete. This is mostly to preserve the integrity of the contest.
Since I won Best of Show, Best Action, and Best Technical at Sakura Con last weekend, I had to be DQ'ed from the contest and moved into the overflow.
Just as long as it gets seen, I'm fine with that.

A fantastic video indeed though it seems the voices at the end are a little out of sync.
