Weren't there like only 67 or so episodes of DBGT? How did they cram so many story arcs in that many episodes? So were these like ten episode arcs?
'So many?' there were four. Searching for the dragon balls, Baby, Super 17, Omega Shenron.

http://www.kanzenshuu.com/2015/02/03/momoiro-clover-z-provide-guest-voices-revival-f/

quote:

Momoiro Clover Z, the idol group previously revealed to be providing the main theme for the 2015 movie Dragon Ball Z: Revival of “F”, made an appearance in Tokyo today to announce that they will also be lending their voices to the film. All five members of the group will be playing “an important role”, voicing angels tasked with keeping Freeza captive in Hell. The group gave a sneak-peek of their characters, who are color-coded identically to their real-life counterparts, and appear among a variety of cuddly creatures in Hell. These angels heavily resemble the character Gatchan from Dr. Slump (who also appears in Dragon Ball during the Red Ribbon Army arc); Gatchan is, in fact, an angel, as is revealed late in Dr. Slump. (At the same time, however, the God of that series has nothing to do with the divine characters of Dragon Ball, and instead serves as the model/inspiration for Kame-Sen’nin.)

He is not a robot per say. According to the wiki, he's a superior life form that is acts as a parasite which has the DNA of the last Tuffle King. There is leeway if you want to say DNA of something makes it a Tuffle or not is up for discussion.

GT feels like Toei wasn't actually aware Toriyama was done with Dragon Ball (for a while), so they just kept making filler, hoping day after day for a new chapter to show up so they could print more money.

Was the idea that the Tuffles shared Planet Vegeta with the Saiyans something that was made up for the anime, or was it included in the manga as well? I can't remember.

It was only used in the anime but the story came from a memo Toriyama wrote the anime staff about Saiyan history.

Not a whole lot new here, but someone posted the intro cinematic for Xenoverse. Pretty cool song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EymQitTUUBo

Have they actually said why it was delayed for everyone other than Japan? Just a big "gently caress you everyone else in the world" thing or was there a legitimate problem with every non-Japanese version of the game? I don't actually believe that, I just really want to play this loving game...

That was one of the worst animated intros for a DBZ. It was so...nothing.

It had to be an issue with the foreign versions because people usually don't do the exclusive in origin country thing unless there is an issue.

The story is that Future Trunks went back home and the God of Time was basically like "motherfucker, you can't just gently caress with time how you like" and made him into a time cop as punishment.

If they were afraid of encountering any bog-standard adult Saiyan on Earth, I don't think they could have handled Trunks or Gohan.. assuming Frieza hadn't completely wiped them out at that point.

So, apparently there were some problems localizing Xenoverse.

http://www.polygon.com/2015/2/3/7973619/dragon-balls-most-prolific-voice-actor-on-why-xenoverse-will-confuse

Chris Sabat, in the goddamn interview I just posted why are you so lazy posted:

"We finally got a new story, but from a localization standpoint it was a little confusing," Sabat told Polygon in an interview last week. "There was nobody to ask, 'Okay, what is this? What exactly does this mean?' That information was locked away in some creator's head somewhere.

"I don't know if I'm allowed to say this, but there will probably be a couple of times in the story where you tilt your head and get confused."

That interview is great. Chris Sabat is great.
Also, that last line is like the impetus for some weird movie. Travelling across the country to find all the Gokus, all the Vegetas and Piccolos and Yamchas and getting them to voice some freak time paradox scenario in-game.

I'm really not sure. You'd figure they'd have a better working relationship with Sabat, of all people. I mean, maybe it's just the timefuckery that made things more complicated, but it seems weird that no one knew who to talk to in order to clarify things.

Hell, there's some gross sweaty nerds who have self-taught themselves enough Japanese to fly over and translate it themselves. It's not like this is a low budget indie game or something. gently caress it, it is bought and paid for on Steam so I'm going to play the hell out of it regardless.

I'm so excited about Xenoverse. My original character is going to be the most original original character available. And by that I mean I hope they have angel wings. I played the beta on PS3 back in October and if the full game is just that again, I'll still like it a lot. Now one thing I'm not sure of, and can't seem to find an answer to: can you only play the original canon and then the new story separately or do your actions in battle create a branching narrative?
