I'm retired from Sonic, but yeah I do remember Enerjak having some crazy powers (even if I don't recall what they are). Last time I checked in he'd lost his powers and now he's a head in a jar like on Futurama.

Re: BOG making $

I want to see them make at least more than the film cost. BOG looks amazing and I really want to see it earn big. If you include international I would bet it should match Strong World. Probably not OPZ though as OP is pretty much an institution in Japan.
Retired from Sonic :o ? Why :( ? As for Enerjak, yeah is essentially Nigh Omnipotent. It's stated in a recent guide to the Archie Comics that he has nearly unlimited power and is only limited by the imagination. Actually Enerjak is essentially an avatar, his previous body, named Dimitri, is yes confined to a jar.

By that logic, should Detective Conan end? Because that show is much longer than One Piece (691 compared to 587).
It's the most popular series in Japan, with the movie making 3 billion yen in its first 10 days of release. Its volume print and sales are continually breaking records. Just because it's not as popular in the US doesn't mean it's not popular in Japan.

Apparently they appear again at the end (watching things from afar) and comment on Goku befriending Beers.

Herms, you seen to know too much about the movie... You don't have the full synopsis and keep it for the 30 March, do you? :think:
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.

I think the movie should able to make 30 million. The movie is in IMAX which means more money and it's the first DBZ movie in 18 years (the last one being DBZ Movie 13). I can't see this movie bombing.

I actually used to tell people that Sonic is like Superman because he's inconsistent or strong when he needs to be, but I've never thought of it like that. Tikals line is actually so deep. :P I really like that theory. :) I do consider Sonic 06 to be like GT though, so I try ignore it. :P


I can't see BOG doing as good as OPZ. One Piece is huge in Japan! I guess DB at least has more worldwide appeal though. I think anyway. :P

There's already too much information about the movie. Technically we've seen the whole movie! :crazy:

Ah, rats, that would have been an awesome pun source if true. I guess I'll go with Beers and Whis.
I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!

I wish I could ignore Sonic 06 but Sonic Generations made it canon >_>. Sonic Generations is still really awesome but still that didn't have to be there, just put a level from Sonic and the Secret Rings. Night Palace or Levitated Ruin would have been awesome with the unleashed gameplay.

Secret Rings was not very great of a game, compared to the others. Still my favorite ones are Sonic Adventure 1 + 2, and Heros. :P

Well at least Sonic 06's events were erased :thumbup: :P

I'm sure we shouldn't be talking so much about Sonic even if it's enjoyable. :lol:

I liked Secret Rings' concept. I still kinda like it as it is though. My favorite Sonic games are Sonic Generations, Sonic Colors, and Sonic 3 and Knuckles.

Strongest in the history of Z, so stronger than Super Vegetto.

Re: Re: Sonic

Sometimes you're just done, ya know? I'd been on and off with it for a while, but I feel like I left it in a good place and last I read they had a good main-artist/writer team. Judging by the covers I see of the comic in bookstores, they still have that artist with them. It's not that I dislike the series, I'm just done and moved on.

Re: Movie summary

I'd hope they're not withholding it like that. ^^;
I'd like to think it's just not fully translated and they're sharing bits and pieces that are. That part about Trunks introducing Mai as his girlfriend was something I first heard on the podcast, not in this thread.
