OF COURSE he's german.

[Sonlirain]

Talk about piss poor controls.

[BlackHeartKabal]

That voiceline of Solaire in I think Lost Izalith is just playing through my head as I watch this.

"Why? Why?"

Just that longing sorrow, but my longing is to know who the hell came up with this idea, let alone decided to bring it to kickstarter?

[Loud Whispers]

I was listening to music whilst someone who was dealing with a breakup walked into the room today
so
Of course I was unaware.
I went to get my tea and when I came back, my playlist went from Franz Ferdinand "Take me out" to U2 "I still haven't found what I'm looking for."
This made the poor girl break down into tears and asked me to change the music
Next song was "Oy vey rebenue", so I quickly changed the song
"Don't walk away, I'll be right there". QUICK CHANGE AGAIN
"You're all I have" FUCKS SAKES SPOTIFY YOU'RE NOT HELPING
"I Loved You" MUSIC GOES OFF NOW
Turning off the music was a wise choice

Spaghetti everywhere
Thanks playlist shuffle

[Sergarr]

Do it.
I hate fanfiction but do it.

Why DragonballZ specifically tho?

Because I've read and watched the SHIT out of it. Both DBZ and Touhou. Also because no one has done it, at least on any decent level. And, because of some new things that have happened in DBS, I've figured out a number of story-wise solutions that greatly improve the compatibility of settings here.

[Sonlirain]

Well more interested why DBZ and not the original series GT or stuff that happened after it.
From what i know the series is still alive and ongoing so why Z specifically?
Or did you just mean the entire series in general?

For people around my age anyways, Z was being aired on cartoon network at the time.

... did eastern europe/western asia even have cartoon network back in the day? I legit don't know, and I'm pretty sure serg's somewhere in the area of russia.

[Sonlirain]

Can't talk for russia but i know that when my parents set up a satellite dish i could watch CN back in the mid 90's... in english.
As a kid that knew f-all about this weird foreign language. But hey! Cartoons right?

But yeah if you had a satellite dish and knew where to aim you could watch CN because apparently for at least some time it was not encoded or anything.
But i'm fairly sure it didn't air anime at all back then since all i seem to remember is Johny Bravo, 2 stupid dogs and Cow & Chicken (and probably a bunch other shows that slipped my mind) so they probably encoded it before toonami (and anime on CN) became a thing.
My Last exposure to anime on CN i remeber was... Tekkaman i believe that was back in 2009. And i didn't really watch CN since.

[Akura]

I think I recall DBZ being aired on Cartoon Network back then. Might have been the original Dragonball, I'm not sure.

Also I think Sailor Moon might have been on there at one point, but that might have been a different channel. It's hard to recall stuff from a period of time that I've explicitly taken significant steps to make sure I cannot recall memories from that time period.

[hector13]

DBZ was. A friend of mine was quite into it in high school, so early '00s.

[Tawa]

I've never seen DBZ, but I have heard much talk that half of any given episode would be wasted by characters charging up kamehamehas and dramatically posing. Is this true?
In other news, I heard that the guy who created the Fire Emblem series and later left Intelligent Systems is making an indie Fire Emblem-esque on his own time in the vein of his previous pet projects Tear Ring and Berwick Sagas.

Googled the guy to see what else he's done since then, and the first image result is a picture of Giorgio Tsoukalos.

Half is too generous.

[Sonlirain]

If my memory serves some episodes were literally a lot of screaming and charging up one attack.
I think the Spirit bomb even took more than 1 episode to charge up but i might be delirious.

I'm relatively sure all three of those were on CN at some point, to varying degrees. DBZ definitely was, as was GT. Mostly on toonami, iirc. The SM one was even the somewhat legendarily bad localization version.

Honestly, between toonami, eventually adult swim, and just the channel in general there's been a somewhat surprising amount of anime that got aired in english over the years, all told.
