- They said it would never happen. They said it couldn't be done.
But they were wrong! Today, I am honored to announce the bold return
of one of the oldest, largest, and possibly most notorious of all
DBZ fan sites, Daizenshuu EX!
That's right, my man Mike LaBrie is back in full effect, and he's
brought some friends with him along for the ride. Nowadays, people
like to proclaim that the DBZ web community is dying/dead, and such.
While things may not be as they once were, the return of this landmark
site proves maybe things aren't as "dead" as people may
think. As the girlfriend of VegettoEX himself (wow, that sounds silly!),
I can vouch for how much work has gone into Daizenshuu
EX over the last year. On the new version of the site, you
can find the largest Dragonball music database ever made. In addition,
there is a plethora of kick-ass DB song lyrics, completely romanized
with wonderful line-by-line translations (courtesy of Julian Grybowski,
formerly of Planet Namek), music downloads, music videos, guides,
and much more. And this is only the beginning. Much of the old content
is not yet online, but it will be in the coming weeks, so stay tuned
to one of the best DBZ sites of all time, Daizenshuu
EX, for more stuff! If you have a web site, please help in
announcing this site's return to the fold. It hasn't been the same
without ya, Mikey. :)
- OK, time to get to some actual content. You know Dragonball Z has
hit the mainstream when it gets mentioned in the cult-favorite and
critically acclaimed TV show (and my own personal favorite TV show),
"Buffy the Vampire Slayer." On Tuesday's (1/21/03) new episode
of the series (season 7, episode 12, "Potential"), the nerdy
character (and former wanna-be super-villain) Andrew expresses an
interest to go on the latest Buffy mission. The rest of the Scoobies
are convinced that he's still evil, but he tries to prove otherwise
by saying:
"But I'm reformed.
I'm like Vegeta from Dragonball Z! I used to be a pure Saiyan, and
now I fight on the side of Goku!"
,and then proceeds to ask
Dawn (once everyone else leaves him in the dust), "You wanna
play Dragonball Z?". Well, the scene may be incorrect in its
assumption that Vegeta is no longer a full-blooded Saiyan, but it's
the thought that counts! The writers of the show kick ass for making
a DBZ reference. :) I doubled over in laughter when I heard this on
Buffy! It's like my two worlds are colliding! Too funny. So, for your
own viewing amusement, I have encoded this scene for you to download.

- Well, a week has come and gone, and sadly, it is time for me to
end my hosting of the old music videos ;_;. Hope you were able to
get what you wanted during this time. Remember, if you missed out
on downloading all the old files, my old music videos will be available
to get on CD for free in the very near future. More details to come
soon.
- In terms of goodly Trunks content, please check out the Trunks
Screencaps section for my latest batch of 17
Mirai Trunks DVD-captured images!

- As promised, I was able to put up nearly all of my old music
videos for download! There are some videos I didn't put back
online, and here is why: they're so bad, I just didn't want to upload
them, and I didn't put up multiple versions of the same video. For
example, if you want to see "Heart of Sword," you'd get
Version 4, not 1. Just a reminder, all of the truly old DBZ videos
can be found in Archived Music Videos,
videos made to other animes are in Non-DBZ
Music Videos, and somewhat recent videos are in the main Music
Videos page. Just remember that I will only be hosting these
old videos for a few days. After this, the only way you will be able
to get these videos is to get them on CD for free (I haven't set this
up yet, but I will within the next couple of days). So, if you don't
want to go through the hassle of that, I suggest you download what
you want now. Hopefully this will stop people from asking me to put
up the old videos. :P Enjoy! Oh yeah, and get my new music video ,"Has
Anyone Seen My Underwear?", while you're at it!

- Tada! I have a new music video
to debut! It's called "Has
Anyone Seen My Underwear?" to the anime Chobits. It's
a light sexual comedy video, so view at your own risk. By sexual,
I mean the video is all about a blonde "Persocom" (or humaniod
computer) named Chii, and her quest to find panties to wear, since
she is either too dumb or doesn't desire to wear any in the first
place. This is a very short video (under a minute), and is a small
file size (compared to my other MPEG files), so I hope you'll download
it, and maybe even like it! For a full description of this video,
please

- Now available for your viewing pleasure are 37
new Mirai Trunks Screencaps! Since they were captured from
DVDs, they look damn good. You can find them in the Screencaps
section.
- Last update, I mentioned that Newtype USA anime magazine mentioned
my site. Thanks to Klenta, I now have a scan of this article I put
on the site! However, interestingly enough, I found out that it wasn't
the ToT they mentioned in the mag, but my other site/tutorial, "A
Newbie's Guide to Making Anime Music Videos". You can
find a scan of the article, as well as the Beckett mag mention, in
the Special Features page.
