Hey guys and gals! =)
HAPPY 2013 NEW YEAR FOR ALL THOSE LADS WHO HAVE ALREADY GONE INTO NEXT YEAR. Us Americans are still stuck in last year! I hope everyone has a rockin' new year and yadda yadda boom.
Any new year resolutions?
Meh, just do good on my ACT's. o.o And maybe start a new show or something.
So, to make this appropriately related to Dragonball as well, I came up with a few topics for discussion. Feel free to comment on any of your liking, or you could peg on all of them; whatever floats your boat.
Is Dragonball Z and the like ... an all boys show?[]
So, it got me thinking, being a girl and all: Did I just grow up loving a guy's show with all the fighting and stuff? Or is there something more that girls can also find entertaining? Is this a stereotypical thing where guys mostly watch it and there's nothing more to get from it? Hmm. I think its a show for both genders, to be honest. Now I know that there are less lady users than guys here, naming myself, Gohanfan7, Kami, Luka and a few others.. but all in all, what do you think personally?
Favorite All Time Episode?[]
This one might of been discussed before, but no matter. Which episode, be it Dragonball, Z or GT, did you love the most and find the most memorable personally? What scenes, lines or emotions do you feel most relates as to why you love this franchise so much? I guess it can be a movie too, if it suits you.
Final Atonement
Oh man, that is my most favorite episode in all the nine seasons of DBZ. I just felt so sorry for Trunks and how he had no idea that he wasn't going to see his dad again and how he reacted. (How Goten reacted too, you could tell that he had a connection with Vegeta being as Goku wasn't around.) Vegeta isn't cocky or arrogant like before; since he's actually thinking about others and what he has to do in order to launch a final assault on Buu. His whole conversation with the Saiyan tots was so sad and actually really responsible and caring. I loved seeing a nicer, more paternal side of him, oh and that hug with Trunks! <3 Afterwards, the dialogue with Piccolo was outstanding, in my opinion. Vegeta is accepting all of the consequences, and he's not making a deal out of it, while Piccolo finally understands his intentions and tells him that maybe one day, the kids will also understand why he sacrificed himself for them. And Krillin's reactions to the whole thing really got to me as well. Down to when he literally finishes Buu off, Vegeta was totally redeemed in my eyes, and, (though Ive always liked him, even when he was selfish and bad) I TRULY thought of him as a hero after this episode. It is always going to be my favorite.
(I know a lot of people also liked Vegeta too after this episode.)
You can pick your own episode and comment about what makes it so special. Final Atonement is an episode I generally think of when I want to watch Dragonball Z, for example.
Favorite Theme []
Any favorite theme or song from the show that you like best? I have quite a few:
1) Super Saiyan 3 Goku theme
2) Super Namek theme
3) Majin Buu theme (and Super Buu)
4) Androids 17 and 18 theme
5) Frieza's Death theme
6) Perfect Cell theme
Of course, this doesn't go directed towards the people who don't like the Bruce Falconer themes anyways, you can also name original Japanese versions.
Fanart![]
Last, but certainly not least, I decided to draw a picture of Goku this morning, since I haven't draw anything Dragonball in literally, a year. I was watching some Season 8 last night (which is where these series of questions came from anyways), and I thought to give a nice little tribute to one of the coolest saiyan characters ever.
Comment if you like! =) I love input on artwork and everything. I hope you enjoy it just as much as I did when I drew this!
Note: I'm still doing those little portraits with users, so Im definitely not out of commission. If you don't know what I mean, you can look at Barku's, Cookie's, Drayden Stone's or FusionRebornn99's profiles.
