Distinctly remember seeing the sets for DB 1-7 and Z 1-8 in Borders alongside this. I feel like everyone I knew thought doing a variety pack was worthless, but I guess the collection scene has changed enough for people to find this novel and interesting? (pic source www.reddit.com/r/MangaColle...)

Someone on reddit asked me about these, so thought I'd post for any youngins. Viz once had mail-in orders to get a cardboard box/housing for your DB/Z. They absolutely did not double check the width for later releases.

The kid even has the Gohan hair. Just looked it up and Toei definitely had enough time to see that Piccolo would be good. I mean the gap isn't that big, but in terms of character progress it is.

That movie wasn't as bad as people said.

ZARD／こんなに愛しても〜Hold Me〜 YouTube video by Yuzumi

The original track is region blocked on youtube, but this cover is pretty spot on. The singer even looks like Izumi Sakai, which considering the channel is exclusively Zard covers, I'm assuming is something she noticed and just went all-in on.

Randomly remembered this ZARD track that sounds like it came out of a jungle hiking montage from a steamy low-budget romance I'd rent at Blockbuster because the cover made it look like a Jurassic Park sequel (non-pejorative)

RE9 comic Big monster dragging Grace away as she screams Monster gets shot in the face BLAM!! Leon smugly: "Seems like she was... a bit of a drag" Grace, having nearly died by a giant freakish monster, looks up at Leon entirely confused "huh?"

i almost had my head bitten off by a giant freakish monster, why is this old man making lame jokes at me 😭 #re9

Guy looks like an ultimately minor but really annoying Ace Attorney witness named Laiken Subscribe

Look, everyone! A 2020s refresher that bootlegging/piracy are brought about due to service-level failures! This short was only ever going to be shown once at an event. Had someone not cam recorded it—and Khara not accidentally(?) attached a 4K copy to their takedown notice—we wouldn’t be seeing this

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

Honest to god one of my favorite anime-only moments. A lot of that episode exists in the gaps left by the manga so perfectly.

Toei writing what Toriyama was too afraid to.

It's the 27th Anniversary of the first Digimon Adventure movie in Japan & Digimon anime as a whole! The first movie came out the day before the show did in Japan, and is a unique & interesting piece of animation for the franchise.

Is Dailymotion seriously the only place with English subs up? I am once again reminded that outside of anime, Japan is horrible at making their pop culture readily available internationally. Got me living like a 2008 cave man over here...

Lorenzo Music will always be the goat, but I'm glad they're looking to other voices outside of "smarmy white guy" for newer projects.

Really makes you wonder how much Shenron cares about context.

Was wondering why Polkadot Stingray made a second MV for "Boy Boy." Turns out it's the ending theme for a currently airing j-drama. Synopsis makes it sound like a rural City Hunter 👀 youtu.be/ti1O9d1tDXg?...

Little Mermaid and Golgo 13 have lots of unforgivable deaths iirc, so it can only be the other ones that are the odd ones out 🤷

🫠. Might still try to get v or Freedom if my Bandai store has them

Oof. Are they just hard to prop up consistently or do pieces fall off?
