Thank you very much for that
Will change it and start typing the full word.
Eeh... Just to add (to make it on topic), I think I might re-watch the movies too in Japanese. It's been way too long since I've seen any of them.

Recently finished Season 2 of Z in Japanese and have been watching some stuff from the old Season 3 dub for some nostalgia.
Vegeta's panicking after waking up on Namek was just gut-busting XD

I have been going through Dragon-box 7 haven't got it completed just yet but I'm close. and that will be all of the series I'm watching for this year. then I'll re-watch the entire series next year
but I have also been watching the movies randomly too
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
Still recording Toonami broadcasts on VHS after all these years!
#1 Paikuhan fan!

Finished adding subtitles to my Dragon Ball Dragon Box, which means I have finally watched Dragon Ball in it's entirely for the first time.
I really enjoyed it. Sure some of the filler was "wtf" worthy, but overall a really enjoyable series. My next project GT, which I've also never seen completely (due to boredom).

And now you've reminded me that I have the Spidey Trilogy box (three-discs-in-one-case-cheapo-version) and yet I still haven't seen Spider Man 2. Thank you, I'll go rectify that now!

Currently completing an inaugural run of the Dragon Ball Z series subtitled via FUNi's Dragon Boxes (Episode 045 as of this posting) and the theatrical Z features with the initial US 4:3 DVD releases (in conjunction to the original Japanese release dates). Funnily enough, the prices of those early 2000s incarnations for the films being out-of-print themselves are almost akin to the Dragon Boxes at this point (at least importing them to the UK, that is). As you could probably tell, I'm looking for the closest releases to the original Japanese footage, subtitled (other than glorious fansubs).
In any case, fairly adamant about producing an 'all encompassing' chronological listing of Z's Japanese viewing order, reducing the need of continuous referrals of separate wikis. What better way to spend the summer break! (Edit:
There's a site?!)
