He should have stayed in bed.
Remember the NBC one-hour crime drama Profiler from the mid nineties? It was a show about Samantha Waters, a criminal profiler for the FBI whose husband had been murdered by the elusive and mysterious serial killer called "Jack of All Trades". As she hunts heinous criminals for the government, much like the folks on CBS’ Criminal Minds do now, she also tries to bring her husband’s killer, who is obsessed with her, to justice. Spoiler: It turns out that Jack was posing as a bumbling sheriff of a town in California. The big serial killer everybody was hunting for three seasons of the show was essentially Barney Fife, played by character actor Dennis Christopher.
Three years ago, I caught whiff of a possible English dub for Dragon Ball Z Kai done in the frosty North, by the Sasquatch-breeding Canadians at Ocean Studios. For three years I have waited with bated breath, my eyes opening to the day with fresh hope that the dulcet tones of Doc Harris would course through my ears with "Stand by for Dragon Ball Z… Kai!", only to be struck each day with a sense of unrelenting defeat (moreso than usual). Eventually, I had no choice but to settle into a remarkably steady indifference, puncuated by the occasional glimmer of curiosity (and something somebody in the know told me).
I’m glad they’re finally doing a Flash storyline for one of these animated movies, even if it’s the one that gave us the confusing New 52 status quo (seriously, how was Damian Wayne ten if Bruce Wayne has only been Batman for six years?). Kevin Conroy is Batman (just, uh… not the one in this trailer), Dana Delany is Lois Lane, Nathan Fillion is Hal Jordan, and Tim Daly’s son Sam is Superman (you’ll understand when you see). Oooh, and Ron Perlman is Slade/Deathstroke! Cary Elwes is Aquaman! Oh, and Cyborg’s in it (who gives a fuck about Cyborg?).
Wow, that looks, moves, and sounds fucking gorgeous. Guaranteed purchase from me when we get it over here. Unf. The only problem I have is that there’s a weird glare, an over saturation of color, I think. It can be a little overwhelming.
I wonder how Kaio got a new planet? This one seems bigger than the previous one. I know that in the notes for the movie, Toriyama said it was Birusu who made Kaio’s previous planet small to begin with because he destroyed most of it and Kaio had to reconstruct it. Now Kaio has a bigger planet and Birusu appears and wrecks it again? What a bad guest.
I’m working on it, you nattering troglodytes.

Now stop bothering me about it, you nattering busybodies. Can’t you see I’m trying to have a DBZ-related breakdown? Enjoy this awkward and underwhelming English dub of my favorite anime of 2011.
And yes, that is Monica Rial as Himari.
Now stop posting unrelated comments on my other entries.
You watch this, you ignorant little shitfucks. I’m not going to say this shit again (today). I’ll show you how to watch this 20 something year old overly long action cartoon for eight year olds the right fucking way (my way). Now, I’ve had these videos up on my YT account for a while, but I wanted to put them here anyway, in case you don’t magically know my account name, because you can’t read my mind (how much more worthless can you be?). Now, to some of you, this is preaching to the choir. If you’re here and you don’t already agree with me on everything (all four of you), you should pay attention. If you do agree with me, sit back down. You’re not getting that third slice of Sarah Lee’s banana cream pie just yet, and keep that Pabst Blue Ribbon away from your laptop, it’ll spill and you won’t be able to angrily fap to incest hentai if it ruins your computer, you festering piles of mule snot.
Premise: Some God of Destruction awakens from a long sleep, discovers someone has defeated Freeza, and decides the universe needs balance (which I guess Freeza was providing by being a dick?) and challenges Goku. Despite the participation of Akira Toriyama himself in the development of this new movie, the same DBZ formula is likely to follow.
I wonder how Kaio got a new planet. The Kaioshins, perhaps?
The first person to complain about Goku’s voice, I shall stab that person in their very soul. (Though to be honest, the Kamehameha in the end isn’t Nozawa’s best work.)
