Okay, lots of stuff to reply to here. Looks like there actually was tons and tons of little things here and there over the night.

Aww man. I was really hoping that it'd be something to do with Gohan and Videl's wedding. This is all right though, Bulma's birthday is kind of a good setting for something given that the story started with her and Goku.

To Toriyama making jokes about this being his 'revenge' for Evolution - HA! :lol: I love it.

Bils is a gourmet? Bwah? Or maybe, as someone hypothesized, it's mostly something to do with how he destroys things, a comparison perhaps.

Goku and Vegeta not attending kinda fits (though I figure both get in trouble for it, especially Vegeta), and it has potential for hilarity depending on how they work it.

Bils and Whis being a pair seems fitting, given how things have gone so far. I notice they never say anything about Whis being asleep though...so what does he does while Bils is slumbering I wonder?

I facepalmed at Toriyama having forgotten 18's hair color. It's so him, but...wow. I have a horrible memory too, but c'mon Toriyama. :o

So if this tree is Bils' temple, I'm guessing it has nothing to do with the Makaioshin at all then. So that mystery continues most likely...

Bils being super strong doesn't surprise me, but I like that he's going to have a playful side as well. This should be fun.

And the fact that they had to work the story over quite a few times really makes me hopeful that we're getting something great this time. I already get the feeling this is the first time this much effort has ever been put into a DBZ movie.

That's awkward and makes me a little anxious about what he might have forgotten in addition.

I mentioned this on Twitter, but while it may seem super obvious to us (accustomed to the anime and video games as we are) what colors the characters are, Toriyama of course did the manga, which is almost all in black and white. With the color chapters and other color artwork, Toriyama was inconsistent with character colors even during the run of the manga. And with the kanzenban and other newer color artwork he's continued to be inconsistent. So in other words, purple 18 may be silly, but it's pretty much par for the course for Toriyama. And it's probably several levels below "who is Tao Pai Pai?". So no reason to worry about Toriyama...at least not any more than before.

Toriyama not remembering what hair color 18 has... wow, that is classic.

I'll laugh if Lunch appears.

He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

Hmm, all jokes aside... Android 18 with purple hair dosen't look that bad. Perhaps Toriyama had the right idea... :wink:

Yeah, that's not bad at all, at least when she is dressed like that. Not sure about the delinquent clothing.

Hmm...purple haired 18 really does look decent (but then again, it is 18 ;) ), but I think it'd clash too much with Trunks.

Now, if we're also changing Trunks' hair to green to match anime Bulma, then I'm for it.

It is physically impossible to make #18 look bad. At least, I'd like to think so.

Purple hair color is not bad at all on her, but as others said, it would just be too similar to Trunks!
It would almost seem like she's actually Trunks' mother more than blue-haired Bulma!
Or his big sister, since wrinkles and her are like water and oil.

It's not bad but I don't like it. It looks so much like Trunks.

If you moved that part where the two parts of her hair meet up and switch it to the middle, you pretty much have a female Trunks.

That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation. But ultimately I have to ask myself "What is the true meaning of being perfect?" and the answer I came up with was nothing. Not one thing. The truth of the matter is I despise perfection! If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

Wait, where did this talk of purple haired 18 come from? I'm skimming back a few pages and can find nothing that sparked this. Could someone elaborate?
