A bit OT but can someone make me a 128 x 128 avatar out of that pic of Goku eating KFC for use on another forum?

It seems my unconscious mind has taken to trying to come up with explanations for the Vegeta figure. I had a dream where I was at a Game Stop and they had merchandise for Battle of Gods, including some cels (because in 2013 in my dream world, anime is still made with cels :lol: ) featuring different scenes from the movie. One included the characters standing in shallow water, and several of them were wearing the exact same outfit (Vegeta, Oolong, Kame Sennin, and I think Gohan, too). I thought to myself, "ah, that must have something to do with the body-swapping!" (in dream logic, it somehow made sense). This movie...it's even invading my sleep!

With all the KFC tie-ins, I'm wondering if the movie will feature blatant product placement, like in Code Geass where the characters were seen eating Pizza Hut on many occasions.
Bulma: Thanks for coming to my birthday party! We've got a great buffet for you to enjoy, courtesy of KFC! *Turns to camera* It's finger lickin' good. *Wink, thumbs up*

On Birusu being super serious, I hope they have fun with the fact that he's a cat. Like, in the middle of a battle, he sits down and starts licking himself :lol:
I know I've dreamt about the movie, but can't recall a single detail. T_T

Re KFC: There was a gag in OPZ like that with Sanji and a product placement lighter, when he'd use it to light a cigarette, it made a money cha-ching noise.

I also hope they play with the fact that Birusu's a cat. X3

I thought maybe Toriyama's cat looks like that.(you know because he is his inspiration)

Or maybe he based it off his cat due to it being a destructive little kitty?

That 1080p looks so nice. *_*

Thank you for the link!

*Wonders and hopes if additional cool things are in store for this Monday, as it seems to be the day of choice for BOG-related news breaks.*

How fucking weird, and yet awesome, would it be to see Battle of Gods open with this?

I think that's meant to be perspective... like he is leaning in towards the camera, he's flying ahead of her slightly and it's an in-between shot that goes so fast that it probably works in motion.

It's 18's arm. Considering her size, it should be behind Tenshinhan. :lol:

Reading about Birusu's cat breed, cornish rex, on wikipedia; it is hilarious. They have glands that make them smell like cheese. Though this is wikipedia I'm citing so it can be taken with a grain of salt.

The below quote does sound kinda like what we've little we've heard of Birusu's personality so far.

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornish_Rex
These cats tend to stay playful and kittenish throughout their long lives. Some Cornish Rexes like to play fetch, race other pets, or do acrobatic jumps. The Cornish Rex is an adventurous cat and is very intelligent. It can readily adapt to new situations and will explore wherever it can go, jumping into refrigerators, examining washing machines, etc. The Rex is extremely curious, seeks out the company of people and is friendly towards other companion animals. It is a suitable pet for timid children.
Who are not Son Goku. XD

I'm still anxious for a plot-update, but this did cheer me up a bit, at least for now.

I was prepared to throw it under a bus, it's so hideous.

The c-18 piccolo tenshinhan pic might look better in motion, why is her hand there though?
I await the knife stabbing photoshops.

The scene does look better in motion, it's in the trailer that's been posted in HD a few posts back, at about the 13 second mark. :)

Admit it, you were thinking the same thing. :shifty:

EDIT: Apparently FLOW's other song, Song of Hope will be played on the radio...in fact I think it played yesterday from the looks of things. :shock:
