DB Flash manga

Post by Sun_Wukong » Thu Oct 28, 2004 6:45 pm

Taken from Dragonballtoys.com:

"Viz has announced that AOL's Red service will feature 13 flash manga episodes of Dragon Ball.

Each Friday for the next thirteen weeks, AOL's RED service for teens will offer an exclusive premiere of a new episode of the popular fantasy action series at 3:00pm EST. Teens on the RED service will have exclusive access to the episode for a period of 48 hours, before it becomes available to all Internet users at www.shonenjump.com. The compelling flash manga takes storylines from the pages of Akira Toriyama's famed graphic novel series and combines unique, full color and movement provided by Macromedia flash technology. The original incarnation of the DRAGON BALL flash manga began on Jumpland, a Japanese website featuring the most popular characters from the Japanese version of Weekly Shonen Jump, maintained by Shueisha, Inc., one of the largest publishers in Japan and a parent company of VIZ."

This is a translation of the same thing they have / had on Jump Land (semi-moving, full color manga stories from DB). Unfortunately, the site's pay-only now, so you can't really check it out anymore. :? But it's pretty cool, nevertheless. Just watch out for that looped music... :x

Whoa, how do you play this awesome RPGish game on Jumpland?? Can anyone give me a good rundown of it?

EDIT: Not that cool, but it is fun to search I guess. Looks like it limits you on parts of it, which I'm guessing goes along with the pay to play theme of the rest of the site huh?
