Pretty solid. Probably the funniest episode yet. Can't get enough of Vegeta being frantic, it's hilarious. Also like how you dealt with the origins of the Androids. I picture mad people googling everything about them after they watch. Good job TFS!

I thought it was alright. I wasn't really laughing that hard. But I did enjoy myself.

We're getting Plan to Eredicate The Super Saiyans first if memory serves. Hopefully its the original one and not the butt ugly remake we got with Raging Blast 2.
Actually, HoT and Android 13 are first. It's possible that A13 will be done by the end of the month.

As for Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans, well... it's gonna be the new footage. Honestly? It's nearly impossible to find the old footage in s quality high enough to use.
Have you tried to find the copies of the OVA from the Dragon Box release (Japanese version obviously)? Not gonna mention certain activities, but it's out there, and in pretty good quality (at least that I saw once). It'd be a shame not to use the original, considering all the hilarious scenarios it shows off that would be solid gold for comedy

As for the episode, Cell may be quickly becoming my favorite character. This series just keeps getting better. keep up the good work :D

Now, if Cell could just host a longer radio show for us fans... wink, wink...

They have access to it if they need it.

The thing is, it's interlaced and non-remastered. It's just the footage as-is. I can't get a good IVTC on it to save my life (so all the pan shots look pretty terrible/juttery), and even trying to do some color correction work on it is an absolute nightmare. Putting it alongside any other footage would look pretty ridiculous.

Unless they lampshaded it somehow. Even if they use footage from the remake, they could add a small scene from the original one and make someone (I picture Krillin) comment on how the video quality has changed. I don't know if that'd work well once done, I'm not really good at writing humour, but hey, that's my two cents.

^Or do a drug fantasy joke involving Mr. Popo, since I hear he's in those original scenes.

There's definitely some stuff you could do with it to really play up that angle, for sure. Even something as basic as an old film effect (sepia colored with all the extra grain, tears, clipping, etc.) could work. Maybe a Family Guy-style "This is just like that time we fought that guy that no-one remembers..."

But yeah, using the footage as-is would never work.

I'm fine with them using the newer version as it's basis, but I actually am kind of hoping for some kind of joke somewhere that patches in the video game footage that the original version still kept. I can't think of anything off the top of my head, but I can just tell there's some great joke potential there.

How will they explain Gohan being a Super Saiyan?
I mean we all know how it happened, but in the TFS universe it hadn't happened yet

Remember how they spoofed Vegeta being present in filler in the Goku vs Freeza battle, in the second DBZ Kai Abridged? Bet it'll be similar.

I think the Teen Girl Squad reference is probably my favorite part of the latest episode. I might be alone in that, though.

It's actually not an intentional Teen Girl Squad reference, but if people wanna take it as that, I guess it's a plus? =D

After Little Kuriboh amazing performance was Freeza I thought "They can't make better than this." But Taka's Cell is just...hmm perfect. I love how they are making him funny but keep him scary at the same time.

Glad they admitted they are already earning some money. It was obvious and there's nothing wrong about it.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

Oh? It's not? Then everything I know is a lie!

Still doesn't change the fact that part absolutely makes me laugh the hardest.

Cell is actually creepier here than in DBZ. He's so insane. That last scene with the radio was both funny and chilling.

Kaiser, I saw on your Tumblr that you guys are considering doing audio commentary for some episodes of DBZA. Just wanted to say that I think that would be excellent.
