Only 98 more to go.
If anyone has any of the DB/DBZ/DBGT or Maho Tsuaki Sally Japanese single DVD's that they'd be interested in selling send me a PM and I'll see if we can work something out. ;).

At this rate, they'll hit the mark in an hour or so.

There's no guarantee it'll go up the very second they hit a million though, you know. They might not really have someone literally sitting there and watching it and waiting, it could be something where they check it every few hours (if that) and will post it at that point.

True, but once we're there, no worries. Less than 10 now.

I'm sure by this point FUNi has someone on standby ready since they're so close also 3 more.

Sorry, hope that didn't come off like I was trying to rain on anyone's parade - I just was making my point. I hope it happens pretty fast after it turns over too, though at this point I'm expecting it to be Bandai pickups more than anything else.

A little bummed out here about that. But, perhaps all the votes for BoG will raise awareness, and maybe this will facilitate dub acquisition and production on that, at least.

I was hopping it would be DBKai Boo Arc, since it's the only thing I care to see from FUNi. Oh well.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Hey, I'm still not upset about this. The sooner I can own 3.0 without importing, the better. 8)

The worst part is just an hour before they announced this, they posted about "Kamehameha Day". This would of been a great day to announce the movie!

So... I guess this thread now serves no purpose, since that they've announced the mystery anime to be Evangelion 3.0...?

Damn, I was hoping it was Battle of Gods too, but ah well. I'll take Eva 3.0 happily enough, I've been really enjoying these movies (though I've never yet seen the original series).
