I'm watching the Bardock special right now and loving it.

God dammit Team four star now all i can think of is this You got the touch.

I preferred TFS's take on the special than the actual special

[Klonoahedgehog]

I'm watching One piece now... I can't believe i watched this same dub with my mom years ago.

[Electric Turahk]

Oh good, the One Piece episode they're starting on is one I haven't seen! I really did take quite a long break huh...

...But I can't recall even reading about this hmmm.

*looks up*

Oh god it's the Davy Back Fight arc. I've not even gone back to read this one. It just seems so, so bad...

Owait. Bellamy/Donquixiote scene. I'll keep watching a liiiittle longer.

And then go back to Gurren Lagann. :P Just finished episode 19. Pretty big time skip in here I wasn't expecting. And wow everyone pretty much took a 180 on personalities. Kinda jarring.

well at least the intro to one piece isn't that rap one.

First, this was obviously supposed to be a full season's plotline crammed into 2 hours as there is so much information thrown at you in one sitting that it makes it hard to follow at times. I've seen this movie about 10 times now and I still cannot figure out every little detail going on. The other downside to it being a movie is that it does not allow any of the other characters to be developed, especially the rookies who we know next to nothing about. On the other hand, it is more GitS set in the SAC universe and that is just down right awesome enough for me.

Yeah. Funimation finished releasing the DVDs through episode 205 back in 2010 and they did not acquire the license for any more episodes until the end of 2011. They currently hold the license up to episode 328, which completes Seasons 4 and 5 (Water 7/Enies Lobby/CP9, depending which you prefer to call it), and the final DVD for S4 just came out this past week. I hope they acquire the rest so they don't end up taking another 2 year long break between episodes.

The Davy Back Fight arc is dreadful. It is by far my least favorite arc in the manga series and the only arc that was a waste of my time. The anime is even worse because it drags the fights out and adds three additional rounds to it.

Funimation got rid of that STD the moment they acquired the license. They also redubbed the entire show, kept is accurate to the original script, and the characters actually sound the way they should (and in some cases, manage to out do the Jp voices).

Random Question.

Does anyone else like watching DBZ movies more than the actual show?

No. I think the movies for the most part are quite awful as most anime movies based from a Shonen Jump anime are. The only good part is they don't have to spend 20 episodes powering up, but in every one of them, Goku is for some reason knocked out of the first fight, only to have to save the day after everyone else is defeated in pretty much every one of them.

[Matrixbeast]

I'm not a big fan of the DBZ movies, either.
Just pretty meh all around.

[Electric Turahk]

Yep, that was a pretty darn weird episode. But I guess since it's just starting the arc, I might as well get it over with and keep watching... And we'll eventually get to Enies Lobby and Franky, so that should make up for it.

That and I'm finally sorta supporting Colleen as Luffy's voice actress. Make her signing my Straw Hat more meaningful. xP

Also a "meh" to DBZ movies from me.
