The Evolution of Dragon Ball Kai - Wrong date?

Post by DBZGTKOSDH » Tue May 01, 2012 1:38 pm

The Evolution of Dragon Ball Kai feature in Kanzenshuu says that it was written back in March 2010. Wasn't this feature released in Kanzentai after Kai ended in Japan, and after My Dragon Box Isn’t Perfect?! feature? It has statistics from 2011, and mentions that Kai is over in Japan, so how was this written in 2010? I can clearly remember it some time after the end of Kai. Also, in Kanzentai, it's date says March 21, 2010 & it's marked as Feature #10, but it's placed after My Dragon Box Isn't Perfect?! which says April 26, 2010 & it's marked as Feature #9. It's current date is an error, right?

But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

You're right -- that doesn't make any sense :P. I just copied the date as-is from Kanzentai, and since I was working on multiple things at once, the placement in relation to other features didn't even occur to me.

Quick look at archive.org says it was posted on March 21st, 2011... so yeah, it was just one number off in the year. Thanks! I shall correct it.

Looks like you're right. Wayback doesn't have a record for it until June 2011 (previous record for December 2010 doesn't have it). So it could actually have been posted March 2011, but the linked PDF from Namco Bandi is dated May 2011. And looking into the news archives, it doesn't appear as if Namco Bandi releases the reports early (search listing and the specific report).

So the feature was originally published no earlier than May 5th and no later than June 24th, 2011.

-edit- Just saw Mike's post - Mike, what about the May financial report?

Not only that, but Kai ended after March 21st.

I pulled up a Google cached version of the actual update from Kanzentai dated Monday, March 21st. Not sure what Heath added to it in between its original post and then porting it to Kanzenshuu (and I probably proof-read and added to it myself!), but yeah, that was the original post date.
