German Dragon Ball GT Premiers
Published by 19 October 2006, 7:00 AM EDTComment

We got in an e-mail from Christian Rodriguez Hernandez from Germany this week, letting us know what is going on over there with regards to Dragon Ball GT.

We finally will get Dragon Ball GT here in Germany, and the airing will start on RTL 2 on the 30. October !!!

We waited over 2 years to get the continue from Dragon Ball Z so we fans are very exided about the final decision to air the show. It was a big secret this last weeks… (of course the hardcore Fans knew) but some days ago they made the offical anouncement, out of RTL 2 itself.

As a preview they put up today !!! The Opening from DBGT that were produces in Germany, for all Episodes … –

We are looking forward …

And Im sure you will have fun to listen to the German Version of DAN DAN ; )

So here is RTL’s page featuring the German opening to “Dragon Ball GT”… very cool stuff! While it uses a slightly MIDI-fied instrumental in the background, the lyrical performance is just fantastic. All you Germans out there, have fun with the series!

Try not to break things. Or fall asleep. It will be tough, though.

Episode #0046 of the podcast is available for download! This was a special episode; we brought back on Jeff Heller and Andrew Deluxe, and talked about fandom as a whole.

Lots of great comparisons popped up during our round-table discussion, including that to American comics (specifically X-Men). Definitely check it out.

“Sparking! NEO” Audio Character Announcement: “Ginga Senshi”
Published by 08 October 2006, 8:02 PM EDTComment

There has been a bit of rumor-esque discussion going around this here Internet the last couple days concerning playable characters in “Sparking! NEO”. Well, one of the best things you can do is tear apart the files on the game disc and see what is on there. Something to keep in mind, however, is that there are two parts… graphical and audio.

As I have done with these games lately, I compiled a list of character names that the announcer speaks aloud in the “[insert name here] versus [insert name here]” fashion. These names can be found in both Japanese and English variants in the JP version’s files. Most were as-expected, and the complete list can be viewed in our “Video Game Guide”. There is a little more to this story, however. Each language has two sets of character announcements. In the secondary set of announcements for each language, we have one additional name that has not previously appeared: “Ginga Senshi / Galaxy Soldier”.

Interesting. Keep in mind that unless they say the character’s name aloud, you cannot play as them. They may be in the game in some type of story-mode capacity, but that is about it.
