Oohhhh, cool idea.

Loved 51, btw. The editing and voice acting is just clean at this point that I forget I'm watching a fan production.

Some of the video games use "Semi-Perfect." Oddly enough, Legacy of Goku II uses "Non-Perfect," instead, which I think is kinda funny.

The main ones (Budokai, Tenkaichi, Raging Blast) simply use "2nd Form", I do remember a trailer for Tenkaichi 1 that had Schemmel use "Imperfect Cell".

I think what makes the Krillin Owned count work so well is that Krillin actually is really awesome. He's always the first to the fight despite being routinely out of his league, he constantly stands up to scary people, constantly stands up for his friends, and is just generally one of the most heroic characters in the franchise. Because we know he keeps getting back up after, the Owned count doesn't feel all that mean-spirited. Cell tanking the Kienzan, on the other hand...

We've actually been focusing this season on redeeming his status. Which is why the whole Kienzan nonsense isn't going to stick in our series.

So does that mean there are regrets now for some of the completely made up owned scenes such as pimp slapped off the look out, snapping his neck, being puked on, hit by a plane, etc?

I seem to recall that a more proper translation of "kanzentai" is actually "complete", rather than "perfect", and I think that makes a whole lot more sense. "Semi-Complete Cell" makes more sense than "Semi-Perfect Cell" to me.

Of course, that completely undermines the joke. :P

Great episode :D! I would be cool if there was a song in every episode! I guess that would be hard to do since there wouldn't be many opportunities for the characters to start singing. Semi-Perfect Cell was more enjoyable here than he was in the anime. I'm going to miss that fishy-lipped bastard.

But it still doesn't work. You are either complete or incomplete.

Krillin getting smacked off of the lookout was hilarious though

Actually, no. Because those were not his fault, just bad luck. The ones we do feel bad about are him hitching out Bulma, being ragged on by Roshi, and others that ultimately made him deserved of said punishment. Kuririn's misfortune is much better served when he perseveres in the face of undeserved adversity.

That's interesting. I'd personally think only the deserved one's are the one's I'd feel fine about depending what said are (Unless they're stupid like a couple in Super were), and the undeserved one's as just plain cruel.

Anyways I found this series of reactions where the thing is, one of the guys has never seen Dragon Ball, and literally DBZA is how he's experiencing the story. I think it's interesting to see his reactions to the series via the abridged series, and how at least from where I am (Didn't start from the beginning) they try to hide spoilers and let the one guy experience it all for the first time.

So, I've got a few thoughts.

First, this episode was fantastic. Perfect Cell was totally worth the wait, and I'm very much looking forward to the coming episodes.

Second, I just binged the first season of Machinabridged, and I loved it. Best character is probably Barrett, but the extended Shinra family come in at a close conglomerate second.

Third, a quick question. Will you be covering the pre-Cell Games filler? Or will you all be skipping ahead to the tournament after Cell makes his announcement?

Know what would be a neat Easter Egg? If Raditz was put in the crowd of the Afterlife Tournament as throwback to the first season when he was running amok in the afterlife.
Also Nappa producing the "Cell Games Footage" during the Buu Saga.

I think that's quite likely. I recall a Freeza Arc episode(the one where Vegeta is being healed after his first Zarbon fight(??)), where Nappa makes a cameo, but where the footage is taken from the Saiyaman episode, where Gohan is on a filmset and runs into a Nappa lookalike(who was a director or something or maybe that was the General Red lookalike(??)). So perhaps they already thought about this scenario all that time ago?

According to last Freeza Saga episode (Episode 30 part 3), Nappa is the one, who discovered "Mark" Satan, so i wouldn't be surprised :D

For all we know Nappa tricks Mr. Satan into thinking the Cell Games are actually a recording for his movie. Considering that made up film we see later when Mr. Satan takes all the credit...

If they ever make a Xenoverse 2, I would love to see a battle of Dumplin and Towa vs Champa and Vados.
Because I didn't notice the slight aesthetic similarities until I saw them in this past weekend's episode, but "short, chubby grey character hanging out with a tall, slim, white-haired, blue female who has a magic staff" fits both of those pairs.
