Dragon Ball Z: Rock The Dragon Set Is Coming

 

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). read more

Dragon Ball Z: Battle of the Gods Clip

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. read more

Three Episodes In – Vividred Operation

Naked Impact!!!

(Note: Contains some spoilers, but it doesn’t matter. You’ll understand what I mean if you read this)

So, as mentioned in my Sasami-san@Ganbaranai review, having been disappointed with the Winter 2013 crop of anime, I decided to step outside my comfort zone and watch a couple of shows that I would normally skip because they had caught my eye for various reasons. The second show I took a gamble on was A-1’s new original show Vividred Operation. It piqued my curiosity for two reasons: read more

The Anime I Watched Before I Watched Anime – Akira

 

In some form or another, I’ve been around anime my entire life. A bunch of the cartoons I watched as a kid were anime, and I also had a chance to watch various anime movies that crossed over into the mainstream throughout the 90’s and early 2000’s. In the early 2000’s I dipped my feet a bit deeper into that world (including watching my first proper show as an adult – Cowboy Bebop), but I quickly lost interest due mainly to lack of availability, and spent the next ten years or so watching the occasional big time movie that came to my attention as I did in the 90’s. read more

Dragon Ball Z Goku Scene Comparisons

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. read more

Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods Trailer

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.) read more
