On one hand, hooray for a new DBZ Abridged.

On the other hand, Jesus Christ, that one took four months. Looks like we're back to the old pace.

To be fair, we're approaching the end of the season and till now we've always got a 3-parter finale with each part as lengthy as a regular episode.

Buu seems to hate his Huge/Southern Kai form, doesn't he? He immediately went to overwrite it by absorbing the Dai Kaiohshin in the past and straight up undid it in the present after Goku's and Vegeta's fantastic voyage, I've always wondered what was the point story-wise of that form existing in the first place.

Big Baguette attack

The Big Baguette Star enabled me to cheat death! How could this be?!

I like to think that's how Buu would've looked like if Good Buu had eaten the evil one.

I liked the ED, but by the way it started I expected a modern version of Romantic Ageru yo so I was mildy disappointed.

And speaking of disappointments, I was totally expecting to see this attack but then Goku went and threw the match, jerk.



All in all, it was a good episode, the animation was good, Krillin's fainting a taiyoken ruled, 18 and him are really cute and speaking of which, is this the first time Maron has had actual non-baby lines of dialogue?

What is this from? I thought it was from an ending but it's not in my edition of Dragonball. It's super duper cute tho.

Romantic Ageru Yo had like 4? different versions as the series progressed, but only the first one was used overseas, I believe that shot is from one of those versions, you can find them all on YouTube.

It could also be from the credits of one of the DB movies.

What kind of outfit would he give Pan? Piccolo gave Gohan a gi based on him own, and I'm sure Cell inherited he clothes beam from his DNA.

A bug suit, obviously.



Only more evil looking.

I'm catching up and did Whis just perform an impromptu, unrequested magical c-section on Bulma. :psyduck:

I was mildly disappointed because I really wanted to see gags like in Dr. Slump's chapter in which Senbei's son is about to be born but with Vegeta in Senbei's place.



As for today's episode, I wasn't very excited for it because I usually find "let's save an endangered species" episodes boring in any series but I loved the King Kai's planet and Jaco segments.

Is it better in the manga?

I liked Col. Silver's filler arc featuring Pilaf's flying fortress, even though it goes against his characterization as a low ranking thug. Muscle Tower's maze floor is an actual obstacle in the anime and gives us more interactions between Goku and Android 8 (the manga just skips it and I don't get why is it there in the first place). Some padded fights like the Pirate Robot's are better in the anime in my opinion.

On the other hand we have bad filler like Hasky's episode, Gen. Blue lusting over a little child and the regular boring padding so in my case it's hard to choose.

Are we sure they're not just two separate characters? I know the idea that a team might have two different female combatants is completely out there in Dragon Ball but I feel that's the case?

I was gonna ask that too, they don't seem to be the same character, do they?





FemBroly's pics next to Cauliflower might be a red herring or a conjecture from the magazine's staff. Or maybe she has split personality a la Lunch.

You can also fuse Zamasu with KID Goku for some reason.

I'd say Harry Potter would be the most popular western example.

He has even less influence over the show, which works on tighter deadlines and more complex stages of production.

If you like what Super is doing more than the comic book, praise Toei's directors for it, not Toriyama. Both they and Toyotaro get the same story treatments from Toriyama.

I dunno about that, Whis' or Kaiohshin's shoehorned explanations in the manga are pretty much the opposite of Toriyama's style in my opinion.

Pfft, they aren't lesbians. Lots of people kiss their good friend & roommate on the lips after receiving a thoughtful gift. They're just polite is all it is.

For real though, hasn't anime developed a weird cultural thing like "sure, every girl is a little gay when they're 15, but you grow out of it"? Or am I over-generalizing based on the only shoujo I know of being queer as hell?

I'm not sure about that, but they remind me of the typical girl delinquent gang that pops up in school manga/anime. More often than not, there'll be an underling secretly in love with her gang leader.

New Xenoverse content include Trunks' Genkisword:





Also Vegetto's ki saber:



An oozaru outfit:



And this is probably Gamma Burst Flash but gee, Vegeta, don't get THAT excited :stare:

drat, the first half of that DBZA ep is very well drawn and has some REALLY good animation.

The second half though...





I know, I know, different source episodes and different animation directors, but wow.

I love Cell's proportions in this shot:
