Dragon Ball..
GAHH&*(@#@*@
I've been hit by a wave of nostalgia (?) after watching the crappy live-action.
I ended up youtube-ing and wiki-ing information about it. LOL. I was only 7 or something when I watched the series, so I don't really remember much about the story. So it was nice reading the info and watching clips I've never seen before. I actually never watched the entire anime series or read in the middle of the manga. In fact I think only watched a couple of DB when it was on tv and then most of the movies in Cantonese dub. But for some reason, my cousin and sisters and I were so obsessed with the series...we hung up so many posters, bought the mangas, cinemanga, and A LOT of trading cards. In the end, I never really understood the series lol. Well there's not much deepness to get since it just powering up and people coming back from the dead. But still~~
And then it started dying off by middle school when I got into Pokemon, Digimon and Evangelion.
I noticed they had Dragon Ball Kai being aired this season. The opening is so awesome!! The content however is not even remade ): I ended up watching that new animation that came out in 2008. Nice to see it updated.
Started off wondering how Vegeta and Bulma got together. I still don't get it. Then read something about Bulma and Yamcha were a couple that broke up. And then I went onto looking at some pretty Yamcha tributes. The 1996 movie was nicely done. I liked him b/c of his awesome mullet hair!! haha.. He was the Ryoga-type XD;; Then I read something about his hair changes relating to Gohan's hair style. So checked on the how Goku and Chichi got married which felt like out of the blue and Goku didn't even know what he was asking. To checking on Gohan baby and then everything on Gohan. GOHAN!!! <3 My favorite character before he became a freakin wimp later on. His preteen was the best years XD;; I remember my sisters and I were pissed when we saw his appearance in GT. (WTF is that ugly get up!!)
Ah, while I was looking for Gohan reference and watching video tributes, I ended up drawing a fanart. HERE

That's really exciting though!! :D I think. Is it just pretty much the old DBZ scene-for-scene, only with higher production value animation? I noticed a LOT of familiar looking shots in that opening sequence alone that looked like it was pulled from the episodes, only.. well, nicer.

Nancy, I <3 that fanart! Seriously! Dragon Ball is near and dear to my heart as it was one of my first anime obessions.. next to nobody draws DBZ fanart, except for a few scribbles, traces on eyeballs on DA so it makes me happy inside to see this.
And yes, Yamcha's mullet FTW. GT Gohan FTL. There's a lot about GT that was WTF. That's what happens when you want to milk a cash cow but the manga's run out...

oh wow, I think this arc + Cell arc were probably my favs in terms of the charas *v* I used to love Gohan so much, I hated the way he grew up :(
The fanart is awesome XD DBZ is honestly the bane of my existance in that every guy has spiky hair and is uber buff lol

I watched DBZ up to the end of the Freeza arc. There were no more Mandarin dubs after that! I did catch some more English dubs episodes after that. Saiyaman is hilarious. I remember that I rewatched the movie with android 18 so many times...
Anyway, how was the live action? 0____0;;

We watched a lot of dragonball on Sat, I've never seen the anime myself, only read the manga multiple times.

Someone has the dvd? I'm going to follow DB Kai! Good thing it just came out when I am renewing my fandom of the series :P (but goku, gohan voice is so high pitch...)

if u watch the DBZ anime again you'll notice that the first 5 minutes are, "Last time, on Dragon Ball Z . . ." and the last 5 minutes are "Next time, on Dragon Ball Z . . ." so you only really get like 10 minutes of show. and half of that is them yelling.
