Dragon Ball Z -Fan Art Collection #1

So terribly sorry for the lack of updates,  it's bloody hard to write about an anime series that's already ended like 7 years ago. ^^;

Still you have to admit, there's a lot of things fans keep doung that keeps the fanbase of DBZ fresh and appealing still to the rest of the world.

Therefore, allow me to give you some eye-candy in the form of Dragon Ball Z fan art gleaned from various artists around the Internet! Click on them for a larger view.








P.S.: This blogger is not happy after learning the fact that One Piece's manga sales had already broken the record set by Dragon Ball in 2009. How dare they. HOW DARE THEY.

WeeklyTubeShow - Maker of Great DBZ Parodies!


Well, besides TFS and their DBZ Abridged glory, I find WeeklyTubeShow just as hilarious - plus they don't bother to censor anything. Yeap. So ffar after watching a few videos by this channel (You can find them on Youtube by the way!) I have to say they gave me the laughs I needed so much!

I'm sure you noticed that they spelt the names of the characters with a little asterisk at the first vowel in their name. For example, Piccolo is spelt P*ccolo and Krillin is spelt Kr*llin. 'Nuff said. And yes, mainly most of the vids present Piccolo, but even then, it's hilarious, because they're poking fun of DBZ - and what can make a parody even more interesting than making a comedian out of DBZ's most srs character ever?

Of course, they present many, many elements that are inappropriate for little children. And they don't make an effort to censor them because, quite obviously, their target audience is not children. One word of advice - don't watch if your little brother of 5 or little sister of 4 is in the same room with you.

All in all, give WeeklyTubeShow a try if you haven't already. Perfect for those who love a good laugh and can withstand plenty of dirty jokes.

Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans [Le Redundant Review]



(Warning: Contains some spoilers)

Yes people. To those who have already watched the original Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans (PoEtSS) OVA or at least know something about Raging Blast 2, you should already know that PoEtSS had been given a complete reboot and included in Raging Blast 2.

And to those of you who already watched the original, you may already recognize that there are many major changes made to the new PoEtSS. For example, scenes where they individually show Goku, Gohan and Piccolo destroying the Destron Gas-releasing machines around the world are taken out, and they zoomed in straight to their fight against 'Frieza' and his 'gang'.

The animation, simply put, is top-notch and of very high standard as compared to the original version. It's also nice to hear recognizable Japanese seiyuu offering their parts again in this OVA, such as Masako Nozawa (BOY, SHE'S A LEGEND!!) and Ryo Horikawa (one does wonder why there is no English dub for this OVA though, since the game itself is dubbed). The music has also been given a fresh new take, and, I dunno about you guys, but it almost sounds like the music you get from games like Bayonetta and DMC, and their music is just fantastic.

The downside of it, however, is that as a person who already had a chance to watch the old version, I find the reboot a bit too rushed for my liking. I'm not particularly happy at the fact that they didn't include some scenes that were present in the original (see the first paragraph), and the fights against the Ghost Warriors itself has lost its adrenaline and 'oomph' so much, that I find myself thinking that there is nothing much to it at all. In short, that particular battle was way too short for my liking!

A very interesting point to take note of is that the main antagonist in this OVA is also included in Raging Blast 2. Though you might feel that it's not worth buying the game for the sake of the OVA, at least get it for the game itself. I, myself, should seriously consider a PS3 right now, since Raging Blast 2 seems like a very promising game to me.

It's a surprise!


After the announcement of Super Saiyan 3 Broly and Vegeta, "Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans" as an extra, Raging Blast 2 has included a surprising new character - the first to ever appear in the DBZ games - TARBLE!!!


Tarble is voiced by Todd Haberkorn, more noted for his role in "Axis Powers Hetalia" as Italy!

Back and Good as Ever!

I must admit it feels good to start afresh. 


Welcome, if you happen to drop by this blog by mistake. It's a DBZ blog, which hopefully will be filled with everything DBZ, so I'll be filling it out weekly (can't do it daily - too many things to do! XD).


If you liked this blog, then great! Tell it to your legion of DBZ friends, or fans if you're a fan artist or fan fiction writer or a fellow DB blogger!


In any case, let Lelouch vi Vegeta welcome you to Chou Kamehameha!
