Because it's so unexpected! And it's Vegeta. He would still have some pride left after his brilliant dance sequence, right? :lol:

And also because I would've liked to see Vegeta holding hands with Trunks, even if it's out of necessity.

Super Saiyan god transformation clip on [site reference removed] check it out. :P

Lying monsters are a real nuisance: They are much more cunning than others: They pose as humans even though they have no understanding of the human heart; they eat even though they’ve never experienced hunger; they study even though they have no interest in academics; they seek friendship even though they do not know how to love. If I were to encounter such monsters, I would likely be eaten by them… because in truth, I am that monster."

Julian, hearing you talk about the movie program and telling Heath you bought him one made me REALLY want to have it. I found it on eBay for $35. Now I've got to ask:

What's in the book? Are there any parts taken straight from the movie guide magazine?
An interviewer asks, "The soundtrack in Sonic 3 has become legendary. Is it true that you worked with Michael Jackson on it?" Takashi Iizuka kills all of our hopes and dreams by replying, "You know, those are just rumors, and SEGA does not want to say anything about them. So they will forever be just rumors..." WHY!?

The book contains a plot overview, character information, interviews, and a bingo quiz. Overall, it's much in the same vein as the official movie guide, but the presentation is a little nicer, and the interviews, while in a similar format, are actually different from the ones in the movie guide. I also don't recall Toriyama's original-illustration poster being in the program.

My advice: get both! :D

Which you would have already known if you visited the site. (Or this thread a number of pages back, but I understand that it moves quickly and can be hard to stay current.) When in doubt, it's always best to check and see whether Kanzenshuu has already posted about it.

(Incidentally, it continues to amaze me how Saiyan Island "translates" nearly all of its material via our own updates and an English thesaurus.)

I checked the site earlier, but I somehow missed the the part about BOG doing so well in less than a day, weird. :? I wonder if this film could actually come close to OPZ in terms of sales? Guess we'll know more when the amount it made over the weekend is stated. :)

Yes, well... after getting up this morning and rereading the Oricon article we linked to, I noticed that it mentioned "as of 1:00 p.m. on the same day", so I adjusted our own article to match after I got in to work. I'm not sure if it was me being sleep-deprived when I read through it initially, or if Oricon itself made a stealth correction, but regardless, things should be squared away now.

We all make mistakes, so who knows, I'll just say it was Oricon. ;) :P Thanks for clearing that up. :) Julian how well do you think BOG will do? I guess it's much too early to tell, or is it? I really don't know. :lol:

If this is true, oh "Gok0u", you never really go away. XD

I find it interesting that they just label ssjg as "God" instead of putting the character's name there, or something like "Son Goku: super saiyajin god form".

I can actually see "Super Saiyan" above the word GOD in tiny print.

*Looks closer and sees that it is there.* I wonder if I'd have caught that if I'd gotten more sleep last night.
Either way, happy they're coming out with toys for this power-up.
I want to see what else comes out though before I decide to pick one.

Any particular reason the logo is in English? Possible bootlegs?

Whaaaaa-? *Re-checks homepage:
According to Oricon, its box office take by 1:00 p.m. on 30 March was already 47.3% of One Piece Film Z‘s first-day gross this past December; that film reached a gross of ¥6.85 billion over its entire run. If it maintains this pace, it should surpass its target by a substantial margin.
DAY-UMN! :o Is that greater than Strong World? I'm surprised we don't have specific opening weekend numbers yet. Now it's a matter of maintaining these good crowds for the duration of its run. The IMAX screenings and the "Super-Wide release" thing must've had quite an impact on ticket sales.

How many screens did it open on in comparison to the previous two One Piece features?

Never underestimate Dragon Ball, I guess. :D
