That's my only real worry when it comes to new Dragon Ball stuff. The animation is too different to me and sometimes doesn't look right.
The animation looks far better in motion than it does in screenshots. :wink:

In the screenshot with Goku it looks like Gohan and Piccolo tried to fight again or something, only to lose again, as they still look out of it; while 18 and Tien look fine, but that goes against what we'd heard. Hmmm unless, they just got hit harder, and are just now getting up? :P And wheres Vegeta in all these group shots?

I ordered with PayPal because I don't have a creditcard. It's easy and I didn't even have to register for an account at CDjapan. So glad they have that option :D

Yes, use paypal. CD Japan did the exact thing with my credit card and I just used paypal (with my credit card tied to my paypal account) and it worked.

Paypal is now asking for stuff I'd have to go hunt around for (like tax stuff). I just can't win. I give up for the night. -_-
(if only Kinokuniya sold magazines online...)
Maybe I'll try this again tomorrow.

Would anybody with knowledge Japanese writing be able to know whether or not Birusu and Uisu could possibly be a pun on billiards and whist? I was trying to think of possible puns, and that came up. Admittedly, it's probably not correct, and I came up with whist first, and had to try to find another game that could possibly match "Birusu".

They may have been confirmed as puns on "Virus" several pages back; the origin stems from something related to an earlier draft of the script where Birusu had evil-casting powers.

Now my first idea sounds more plausible: his name is pun for virus (ビールス) and Toriyama thought up the name Uisu after a synonymous word uirusu (virus).

True, but I took that as kei17 assuming that the pun was on virus, but that it hadn't been officially stated as so. It appears I misunderstood.

It just depends on how official you think the movie guide book is. I just figured you hadn't seen the post. Helpful and stuff.

I want to see Piccolo do something. I used to love Piccolo. He was so cool, so awesome, mysterious and amazing; intimidating. But now he's the butt of jokes. :( Toriyama, I watched you show all my life since the days of fox, way before Toonami. Why can't everyone be useful? Give the humans more special techniques or reveal a big secret (rewrite it) that humans have an ancient legend about the super human or human god or human enlightened master. I want to see amazing stuff from other characters, not just Goku and his male cheerleaders.

Sounds like Toriyama wanted too, but the script of Battle of Gods would have been to long.

Alright. I got it to work. ( ? ) I have a receipt and confirmations and stuff so...I guess that's it?
I dunno. Now I wait. Paypal let me buy from CDJapan without having to find that extra stuff, so I guess it's good.

Confusing confusing stuff you guys.
I hope this worked.

Your payment method.

I'm happy it looked like it worked too. TuT
From then on everything went smoothly. I used the SAL shipping that was mentioned earlier in the thread (as I don't mind waiting and others said it was good to use) so I guess I'll check in about it a few weeks from now when the book/magazine hopefully arrives.

About the tax stuff; I think I was just looking at one of the pages you use if you want to sell stuff instead by mistake. I'm so relieved I don't have to hunt that stuff down.

Ah, I see. If you got a order confirmation then it worked. Haha yea paypal is a bit confusing if you haven't used it often.
