Actually, I've always found that in the majority of anime, the characters don't look at all Asian. I just think that they tend to make better costumes and put more work into being as accurate as they can in imitating the character.

If that second photo is Meri, she looks awesome. She has better muscle tone in her arms than most of the guys I've seen.

Niice!

I can't believe I forgot to put that one! Ugh, having a short memory sucks. :(

As for the ToT pictures, I've seen those before. The second one with GT Trunks wasn't half bad in my opinion. He got the outfit just right.

I always find tons of images of stuff like this when doing Google image searches. I'm always surprised by how good (and bad) some of it is.

I like that one too. Thing is I'm so bad at reviewing these things that unless you said otherwise, I would have had to say I wouldn't know. :P

:shock: The Androids...the androids! *Goes SSJ, then stops to think* What a sec, since I can't sense their power, why am I trembling? :lol:

That #19 is fucking awesome though, just that he needs to have Goku's appetite. :P

Haha! I was thinking with that first pic, "Goku promotes Subway!" XD

The Chi-Chi looks awesome. The hair is even exact.

The last link just led me to a Japanese website, but I saw no picture. :?

Along with the Chi-Chi, I thought the Tao Pai Pai was pretty good, too.

Although that one with Great Saiyaman and Super Saiyan Goku; it looked like he killed a dog, dyed it yellow, and put it on his head. Ugly! :P

Except for the ears, the Piccolo was good too.

No, they don't- I see it too. It's a custom title though. I imagine either it was accidental, or she's just being silly. :)

Edit:
Since I took the time to reply, I figure I should comment on M-Vegeta's pictures.

Image 1: Neat interpretation on Goku. Atleast Asians are capable of spending time on their costumes, so they don't look like pure ass.

Image 2: This Piccolo costume is down right excellent, and the person wearing it totally looks the part. My only problem involves the lighter tone ear color. =/

Image 3: Excellent Chichi.

Image 4: Again, still excellent. And again, effort pays off in spades.

Image 5: That is how you do Tao Pai Pai. That guy really looks the part; cool as hell.

Image 6: The costumes are excellent, truely inspirational. However the hair falls flat.

Image 7: Lack of effort ruines this.

Image 8: Decent costume. Not as good as some of the previous ones, but you see the effort in it to reflect the show. Hair is goofy though, I mean its cool you dyed it blond for the event, but you've got to go the whole way, or not at all.

Image 9: Not available. (Link = Broken.)

:shock: Holy crap! That's probably the best custom title I've ever seen! Banned...who would've thought of that? :wink:

Yeah, I noticed that a while back too, however, would she be able to post something today if she really were? :? Hmm . . .
