What is the testament of your Dragon Ball fandom?
Re: What is the testament of your Dragon Ball fandom?
I definitely burnt out of being a hardcore fan several years ago, but I've been a fan of Dragonball for the majority of my life. Using a date duration calculator I found online, today makes my 5999th day of being a Dragonball fan, and I'd like to think that means something. I consider my fandom to have begun the day I first watched the series, and I was lucky to catch it at episode one when it came to the US on Toonami. I'm 21 now so... 5999/7832 = 76.6% of my life. 
Re: What is the testament of your Dragon Ball fandom?
MOST of it started when I was a kid, but I guess it still holds;
- I have a collection so large I can only fit half of it in my apartment
- I began martial arts because of DBZ when I was 9, and have been in it avidly for 12 years, getting my black belt and even teaching!
- Lots of DBZ cosplays over the years
- Named a few pets after DBZ characters
- And this is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more of a joke than anything, but when I started dating Chris Ayres, he made jokes like "Now your collection is complete!" I actually get a little peeved when anyone BUT him says it, but I can appreciate the irony. XD

Re: What is the testament of your Dragon Ball fandom?
Hahahahaha, you're kidding penguintruth!!! Okay, when I'll ever think about, why Sean Schemmel isn't talking with Dragon Ball fandom trough this forum, it's because of you
Well, my testament was translating Kanzenbans to czech, but after two chapters, I realized like two or four people here will actually read it, so I was sad about spending hours of work for those four people, who can actually rather learn english (we have it at school, so if young people can't speak english on comunicative level, they are lazy slackers).
And my second was..... When I was 11 year old, I went on a hill 2 km out of my home in heavy storm, did the smeggin' pose and actually tried to turn SSJ....
I think I could've been stroken by lightning the same as Goku on Namek and actually turn to something. At least to Flash!

I'm old enough. And I still like the damn thing. Enough to talk about it, and be part of this community.
That's my testament.

I own way too much merchandise, and like I'm sure most of you will understand, a lot if it is double dipped DVD sets. I think that that's enough of a showing; most of the people I know, when they find out I have the Saiyan saga in 3 different sets, they think I'm crazy, and I'm almost inclined to agree.

My testaments:
My two newest anime music videos that played at conventions and showed people the fun side, as well as the serious side of the series. I love reading comments that say that my videos reminds them why they loved the series in the first place. The best part at cons was when the video starts playing and people moaned and groaned because it was DBZ, but by the end they cheered and applauded! Entire audiences would even raise they're hands up when Goku needed to gather energy in the first video.
Fun Side:
Hands Up!
Serious Side:
Hall of Fame
Two levels I created in the game LittleBigPlanet. One was a level I made specificaly for TeamFourStars Fanart Contest in 2012. It even won second place! The second was the first level I made in the game. It was a basic level that went through some key parts of the original Dragonball series.
The LittleBig DBZ Abridged Level
The Search for Shenlongs LittleBig Dragonballs
Finally, the collection I've built up for years since I was a kid. Nobody can say that Dragonball is not my passion!

I want my cat to have a name related to dragonball that is subtle. (Its not much really) Taking ideas still. If your thinking of anything like Puar, Karin, and Bils then stop right there.
