Thanks, guys
VegettoEX @ 11:28 pm EDT -- Big thanks to Greg, and also to the two guys who sent me video clips of what I was looking for (see below update). As you can probably infer, I'm working on (have been for a while, and probably WILL be for a while) a new section, and it was a big help. Thanks, again!

Well... back to writing papers... *sigh*

Help + 10th Anniversary Movie Info
VegettoEX @ 12:15 am EDT -- I'm being told that there's a fourth insert song in DBZ that I'm unaware of. As my fansubs are all at home, and I don't own the "Dragon Box" DVD boxset... I can't really check it out. In the (original Japanese version, of course) episode where Kaio-sama is explaining to Gokuu what happened to Planet Vegeta (early on in the Saiya-jin Saga... really early on in the series), an insert song is played.

Is this true? Can someone confirm it for me? I'll feel like a dumbass if I'm forgetting this. Gimme an MP3 or a movie clip if you're able to.

Also, reports are coming in that the 10th anniversary movie, "Saikyô e no Michi" (or "The Path to Power" as called by FUNimation) does indeed use the original score on the English dub track. Huzzah! Almost seems like too little, too late, though... *shrugs* Better than not, of course. Guess I should go buy it...

Yeah, I know I'm late...
Julian @ 2:15 pm EDT -- I may not have made my self-imposed deadline for my next update, but I still have stuff for ya's. I updated the "Covers" section with the cover of Shonen Jump #5, put up my review of DBZ Complete Song Collection 2 on the "CD Sets" page, and added a CD track I mysteriously forgot to the "Hit CDs" page. And, as usual, I've made various minor corrections on a bunch of pages. Consider them "Easter Eggs" for your surprise and enjoyment.

Also, it's been requested that I add the back covers of the DB kanzenban volumes to the site, since they have some interesting illustrations. I'll probably do a few sometime this week, then several more the week after that. I'd do it sooner, but I have a bunch of stuff coming up in and out of school that I need to devote my full attention to...you know how it goes.

Well, I'm off. Ja ne~~

Be Careful
VegettoEX @ 10:16 am EDT -- Music videos, music videos, music videos, music videos, music videos, music videos, music videos.

Also, be aware of what you're purchasing if you've pre-ordered the 10th anniversary movie from Amazon; this entry appears to be the unedited DVD (approx. $22), while this entry is probably the edited version (approx. $18). Neither has an image, yet. Buyer beware... :D. The movie comes out on the 29th of this month (two Tuesdays from now).

The Answer We've All Been Looking For!
VegettoEX @ 6:00 pm EDT -- Ever wonder why most DBZ music videos suck? I think I've found the answer. I think that this tutorial single-handedly is contributing to the mis-education of thousands upon thousands of aspiring music video creators in the "DragonBall" community.

Then again, I'm probably just insulting some mid-teens kid by posting a link to their site in a sarcastic fashion... *shrugs*... it is kinda funny... especially since all the videos are either Meri's or from various DB fansites from years gone by...

Ah, well. I laughed. And then I cried.

Remember... "Applying filters in areas can enhance the dramatic effect of the movie a lot." Right.

"Legacy of Goku 2" Announced
VegettoEX @ 2:08 pm EDT -- The Magic Box has a great new post with tons of images from the newly announced "Legacy of Goku 2" for the GameBoy Advance. Everyone looks so cute... it's a shame I didn't want to play the first one for more than five minues because it was so boring.

Nice Big Update, Courtesy of Me
Julian @ 6:45 pm EDT -- Spring break is finally upon me, so while Mike is busy with college-y stuff, I'll be doing some updating on my own this week. To start with, I've added the next two kanzenban DB volume covers to the "Covers" section, and put up the fifth image for "Other Artists Draw DB". I also fixed one more tracklisting on the "Hit Song Collection" page, and made various other changes in the "Music" and "Images" sections.

I intend to have a review of DBZ Complete Song Collection 2 up by the end of the week, plus maybe thoughts on some of the Hit Song Collection CDs (since I now have all the songs from certain ones). It really depends on if my internet connection behaves itself, as it hasn't lately.

Anyways, enjoy the info and eye-candy. See ya next update~~!

April Fool's, and More Grumble
VegettoEX @ 12:25 am EST -- So I'm sure about five of my visitors are old enough to understood the April Fool's "joke"... but that's OK. I know it brought a smile to my face to see good ol' "Suushinchuu" again, and I've gotten that same response commented to me from a few people.

BIG MUCH THANKS to Wuken for letting me put it up for the day :D. Greatly appreciated.

In AMV news, it appears the site from below has removed the music video that was just "This is Your Life" put to Linkin Park's "In the End." This is nice, but they've still got Lord Rae's "Trunks Tribute" video up as their own... and it's got a new title card inserted with that "creator's" name... kinda bullshit, ya' think.. ? Dude, you can't just go taking other peoples' work...

Meh. More updates later ^^.
