Yes, that's right.
Other than himself, who's happy with this anyway? It's not that Karube is famous like Matsumoto and Nakagawa.

*Kind of wants to nominate the entire staff of Kanzenshuu for cameos in BOG, as it seems that Toei is on a roll with the cameos.*
Actually, didn't someone point out one time that this man and woman in a boat in GT looked like Mike and Meri? I feel like that happened.
But yeah, the thing with the Fuji TV announcer; that is unusual compared to the Olympic Policewoman and Shokoracle Fish.
It'd be like one of the local Philly news anchors guest-starring in a Pixar film.

Those shots look gooooood!
I'm thankful for the better pic of Matsumoto's policewoman. In the photos it looked like the character had a partially shaved head or something

Nope, just a shadow!

I dunno about you guys, but I'd totally be down for Mike playing the Oracle Fish in the dub...complete with Shoko-tan impression.

If TFS ever does a BOG: Abridged, I bet this could be possible.
He was their Appule, after all. :3

The script looks pretty thick. (Though I have no way of knowing how much text is actually on each page).
Very curious of its contents. :3

Someone in the 2ch thread said that Goku was pulled from art of one of the Cell Games episodes.

I don't know folks, but from that screenshot on the main page, that Matsumoto police character really don't fit the Dragon Ball Toriyama design.... That's my opinion.
She looks really weird and non Dragon Ball. Dunno, how it works in Japan, but I somewhat don't like this real world characters inclusion.

The characters are supposed to stick out. They're just like Budyhisa (typo?) in that regard.

Colonel Sanders in the Kame Gi is so awkwardly hilarious.

I noticed art on the scripts in the precious pictures but forgot to ask about it - is that traditional for anime scripts? I've never really seen one before, so I don't know. Then again, these have colorful binding too, which you'd think they wouldn't do as a cost-saving measure or something. Since these are special celebrity scripts, maybe they're spruced up nicer so they can be kept by them, as keepsakes?

Yeah, they were all kinda like that. They even had dust jackets which was kinda extravagant as well. You can view scans here:

Uisu's really not interested in watching Birusu fight. XD
*Imagines him finishing up eating and then telling Birusu they can't destroy the Earth because it sells such delicious sushi.*
Also poor Vegeta getting pummeled. That actually looks like Birusu's smacking him with his tail in that one shot.
I'm really curious as to how this all looks in motion. *Hopes for eventual video-clip upload*. :3

What's that on Shoko's hand? A wand?
She is very manly, the first time I saw her, I thought she was a guy, no offense

I think it fits DB more than it fits DBZ.

While they will make cameos, we shouldn't bother too much with them.
Vegeta gets his normal treatment. *Punch punch punch* xP

It wouldn't be
Dragon Ball without Vegeta getting his ass handed to him. Too bad there's no Super Saiyan 3, though.
