I went to the TeamFourStar panel at AWA and I like Cell a whole lot more as a character when he's running for president or playing the straight man to other crazy people as some of Takahata's jokes would have you believe. Also KaiserNeko talked about how hosed he was coming out of high school and over the last almost decade met some of the most amazing people he's ever met and made really close friends and appreciated the huge fanbase he has and I legitimately thought he was about to cry, it was pretty touching.

...You know, much as I liked the god transformation sequence, this episode just got... weird, about their abilities and the implications thereof. The film treated them as just being even incredibly more powerful (and skilled) than was already established for DBZ. The manga treated has treated it pretty much the same.

But now the show is saying that if they aren't clearly focused on matching each other blow for blow, then god level fighters can accidentally destroy the entire universe in just a couple blows with their fists? And what the heck was the dragon aura thing all about? Because they look like they got even more powerful after doing it, so... god ki automatically turns into dragons when you power up?

Also please don't let next episode's title mean they're gonna give him super saiyan god super saiyan already.

The dragon thing was weird and kind of dumb looking, but having to actually control your powers so you don't 'ruin everything else seems pretty in line with the kind of stuff a god would be able to do. Makes that line about Goku the Destroyer seem more plausible then before.

We saw that shockwave turn a planet to actual dust and he's 50% responsible for that. It if can disintegrate one planet, who's to say he didn't just melt like 50 planets while trying to save Earth?

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

Considering Superboy isn't actually his son and he has no kids, it's apples to oranges.

It did not happen due to scheduling conflicts, which is annoying. But oh well, I think I gotta revise the game a bit anyway. Plus I forgot to print out any character sheets for the Earthling.

Season 2 of Kai was released in the UK today, though Amazon sent my copy yesterday, highlights were Krillin blowing up, Captain Ginyu being himself and Freiza's new voice being way better than the previous one.

The things I did not like was Jeice's new accent, as an actual British person I don't know what accent he was trying to pull but it was bad, real bad, and some of the filler with Bulma running around in random directions was kept in but mercifully the bulk of it was cut out, I'm also not sure what to make of the random Japanese songs that pop up with subtitles every so often, I can tell its trying to be dramatic but it comes off as just being lame.

Was that a case of trying to convey a particular dialect or did they just feel like giving him an accent?

Also what else can/should I do to better this thread? Outside of some ground rules I kinda winged it.

I think that the relationship between Gohan and Piccolo in DBZ is really sweet and that Piccolo is a real stand-up guy and good character.

For me Piccolo is right under Future/Cool Trunks.

He is cool, can regenerate his arms, and gets stronger by sitting and crossing his arms.

I've read YYH and seen a handful of Knights of the Zodiac and I liked em both a lot. I like Flame of Recca.

YYH was pretty good but i stopped watching after Yusuke turned out to be half demon. maybe i'll watch the rest of it some day but it got pretty bad at the end of that arc I think.

That's exactly where it gets bad, so you picked the right time to stop. Up until then Yu Yu Hakusho is pretty fantastic though.

Nah the rest after that is still pretty good, that part specifically is pretty awful though. It just completely trashes everything Kuwabara had been building up to. I think the the followup where Yusuke doesn't know what to do with all that power and each character trying to find their purpose in life is one of the best arcs in YYH. I mean it does end in a tournament for no reason, but it's a pretty cool tournament and the ending is really sweet so I'd recommend finishing it. Hell the anime does the ending arc much, much better than the manga does in my opinion.

the only real downside of the final arc is that it features next to no Kuwabara because he already got his poo poo together

DBZ is a good old shonen tho and is very narrowly below YYH in quality

e: also those are scrub picks, should have said Ushio & Tora or Kinnikuman
