Well now isn't this interesting

It seems that some of the most important judges aren't entirely against the idea of AF's silliness.

Heh... that was a pretty interesting read (and not all that difficult, either... will the wonders never cease?). Seems like he gets a kick out of the stuff of American fanboys' dreams... too bad there's no way he can actually see it. (汗 ^^; )

I was originally going to use Babelfish on that page, but it's such a piece of crap I decided to just go ahead and read it myself, even if it did take longer...

Very funny though. I think it's the first Japanese AF site I've ever seen. And they had some "characters" I haven't even seen before.
Battle High 2, starring Kyle Hebert as well as myself, has been released on Xbox 360, OUYA, PC, Linux, Mac, and Xbox One!

I'm really lazy, and since I can't read kana, anyone want to post a translation?
... Maybe later.

Will the AF garbage ever end?... You know, a lot of those pics weren't made with AF in mind, it's just that AF has become such a huge rumor that just about any time somebody sees a made up DB character pic they automatically lable it an AF pic...

:lol: This isn't saying AF exists. The author says he realizes he doesn't know exactly the whole story behind it but it was a fake series created by fans in America. He basically goes through each character and evaluates how pathetic or cool they look. In the end he admits that it would certainly be at worst interesting to see such a series.

In particular I like his comment on Yamuhan....or whatever it was called.

I've seen that same crap so many times its just getting annoying. Every site that even mentions AF at least has a dozen of those crappy photoshopped characters. Except for Daizex of course ^^

You're right, DaizEX made its OWN crappy images!
