Was that supposed to be an insult? :/
An eclipse could work if it made sense to the story

If challenge had a taste, you'd be quite delicious.

A light-hearted, offhanded joke of a comment. I meant no offense. =p

Nah, only the ones I posted on page 27. That's all I got. I don't want to start up the special again for one shot.

OH MY GOD! in my dedication of figuring out the problem, I went to a fucking archive page on adobe's site and downloaded flash 9(i had flash 10) which was a 200 mb file.
uninstalled flash 10, cleared out my old registries, installed flash 9 and it's now working.
I'm on the verge of tears. New dragonball.

Was that another new hairstyle for Bulma I spied? :p
[quote="Brakus"]For all the flack that FUNimation gets on this forum for their quote about DBZ, there's some modicum of truth to it: a 9-year-old is born every day. Or in some cases, "reborn". DBZ may be a kids' show, but it's been so close to so many hearts all over Japan, America, and quite possibly, even the world.[/quote]

It was fun, I guess, but I felt cheated.
First of all, Vegeta's brother. What. The Fuck. Vegeta doesn't even act surprised, hell NO ONE does. Why have we never heard of him before? Also, what an underused character. He had maybe 3 lines of dialogue....
The villains. What generic, pointless weaklings. Connected to Freeza, too? Give me a break...
Goku and Vegeta felt a little out of character to me.
All in all, I think of this special as nothing more but to showcase the new, much improved animation and it's kind of like a school reunion for the cast of characters.
Overall a 6/10.
If challenge had a taste, you'd be quite delicious.

Not really, considering what Vegeta is coming off and how he is at the Tenka'ichi eight years down the line.
Gokû felt as if he were written to parody how he keeps stealing the spotlight.

I'm getting nothing but a white screen in the Jumpland browser, it's not attempting to do anything.
*sigh* Guess I'll have to wait then.

It's loading slow as hell. But I am psyched. Now let me ask...Is anyone else completely thrown off by the animation?

Did you just open the browser by itself? When you download the "browser", you just click the "Watch this Anime" button in your browser of choice, which will then give you the option to open the file with the "Browser" which really isn't a browser at all. Hence the quotation marks.

Now I've got it to do something.
I saw the opening on Youtube and it brought a tear to my eye.
I missed them all so much.
