I guess companies are really banking on nostalgia, huh?  Maybe they figured that the people who were fans of these shows are adults now and can now afford to buy all the new merchandise ( Read more... )

Well, feels like summer's pretty much over for me since he flew back to Michigan this morning... but I've gotta say it was an amazing summer.  Pillows concert, California Adventure, Disneyland, Anime Expo, Reno, parasailing in Tahoe, exploring San Francisco, lots of drinking and eating out and movies.... ahh it was hard on the wallet, but god it ( Read more... )

Hm, what a disappointment that Dragonball Kai will have different OP/ED themes.  "Cha-la Head Cha-la" has gotta be one of my most favorite OPs ever!  Oh well, DB, DBZ, and DBGT had their own different singers so I guess DBK might as well have its own too.... ahh but who can top Kageyama Hironobu?  He sings with so much of the...I dunno....spirit ( Read more... )

With all the excitement of the DBZ special episode, me, my bros, and cousins all got in the mood and have been marathoning DBZ since last night.  Just finished watching till the end of the Vegeta battle in the original Japanese version for the first time, and was amazed at how much cooler it was than the first dubbed version by...was it, that " ( Read more... )

You know what made my day?  Jump's special, "Yo! The Return of Son Goku and Friends!!"

I had NOOO idea anything like this was in the works until I read nekoni's DA post today.  It was...awesome, so awesome.  Lots of funny character interactions and family-ness we didn't really get to see in the series.  Aw and Tarble is just the cutest thing ever ( Read more... )
