Well, I see the discussion of movies has given rise to a new discussion question, making me have to deal with three to answer now (I never answered my last two >_<).

First off, let me make a few announcements. First, for all you PS2 owners, Budokai 2 is set to come out December 9. If anyone's seen screen shots of the game, it looks ten times better than its predecessor (in terms of graphics, as they've shifted to cell-shading). Also, Budokai (the first one) is set for an August release (I forgot the exact date) for the GameCube (late birthday present for me, maybe ^^).

Also, we will finally be getting some episodes besides the Buu/Fusion/Kid Buu Saga's on CN!

According to CN's website, starting July 14, they'll be playing "Calling The Eternal Dragon," followed by "Gohan- Defeat your dad" on the fifteenth. It looks like we're starting with the Ginyu Saga. It may not be the Saiyan Saga like I had hoped for, but (1)It's a change from the norm (2) We get to laugh at some of the earlier edits ^^

Speaking of edits, I guess that's a good lead-in to one of the questions I have to answer. As for edits I thought were ridiculous, I'd say the Saiyan Saga had the worst edits. I mean, the Beer and smoking are prime material for CN to edit (hey, even now, digitally re-edit Saito's cigarette into a toothpick on Rurouni Kenshin ). The worst thing, though would be really early on, when the air plane gets blown up, and Tien or Yamcha (I forgot who >_<) says "it's ok, I see parachutes" (with regards to the people in the plane).

I mean, the plane got blown up. It was a passenger plane--did everyone have parachutes and possibly have ESP, enabling them to anticipate the attack and jump out of the plane safely? According to CN, they might ^^.

Another one I didn't like was the editing out of death, and the word "hell." Sure, they still do it (they let it slip a few times occasionally, though. Shishio and Sanosuke have said it a few times on Kenshin, and even today on Cyborg 009 it was said, so they're either slipping up, or letting loose. Personally, I hope it's the latter ^^). Even if they wanted to edit out, they could have changed it to "heck" in stead of telling people they would go to "the next dimension" >_<

Anyway, I guess I've spent enough time on that, and it's time for me to move on to the next question, who is my favorite female DB character.

I would have to say mine is Bulma, but not for the same reasons of, oh, say Scorpian (haven't seen him for a while though--wonder where he's hiding ^^). First of all, if it weren't for her running into Goku, we may not have him for a main character. Second of all, she's a technological genius. If wasn't for half of her inventions, imagine how far behind the Z crew would be (though I have to admit, the Dragon Radar does kind of cause them problems later on down the road for anyone who's seen GT ^^)

Lastly, with regards to movies (yeah, I made that last answer kind of short--seeing as I had three questions to address, I figured I'd have to cut down on the length a little^^). I've seen almost all of them.

I've seen all the DBZ movies, the two television specials, and the GT television special. The only ones I haven't seen are the (four, I believe) DragonBall ones. I think I've explained this before, but since Anamanaic is new, (and was the one who asked the question) I'll explain it again.

Several years ago, when I first got into the series, I rented subtitled VHS tapes from a local store of mine. In doing so, I rented the entire (uncut) DBZ series, the specials, and GT (as I mentioned before). However, as they didn't have DragonBall at the time, I never rented it, and as such, I didn't watch it until it began airing on Toonami a few years back. Because of that, I haven't seen those movies, and also haven't seen DragonBall beyond what CN has shown.

With regards to my favorite movie, as everyone here knows, it's Movie 8, which is set to come out here in the States in less than two months. Brolly is my favorite Saiyan, (I even have a site dedicated to him ^^) and as such, the movie showcasing his first appearance is my favorite. I tend not to talk much about the Brolly movies (mainly 8 and 10; as Shenlong mentioned, 11, while featuring the essence of Brolly wasn't the best, as you can tell they were trying to "milk the cash cow" so to speak of the Brolly story) because (as many people here also know) I tend to get very carried away with talking about them. In case you haven't noticed here in the short time you've been with us, my posts tend to run quite long (hence the reason for my smaller post count despite being here so long) and added rantings about Brolly would only add to the length.

That being said, I'll shift focus. I've also mentioned several times The Rebirth of Fusion: Goku and Vegeta! is another personal favorite. Janemba was not only one of the cooler enemies, but Gogeta is also quite cool himself

EDIT: Shenlong, I actually found three more Shenlong pictures, but they were too big to attach here. When I get the chance, I'll upload them to my storage site for you to look at (I don't think it'll be anytime this week, though, as I'm extremely pressed for time the entire week--in fact I'm lucky to even be posting now). I just wanted to let you know I haven't given up, though it is getting harder to find them (you were right--a good deal of pics are either Shenlong Gundam from Gundam Wing, or the DarkStar Dragons from GT ^^)

I think I've done quite enough rambling for today, though, and since not many people have elaborated on the movie topic, I'll leave it at that for now (unless someone else is feeling energetic and wants to come up with a new discussion topic ^^)

Bye
