DBZ
Mentioned on "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.

Shoujocon 2001 Report
Shoujocon 2001 took place on June 14-15, 2001. For
only the second year in existance for this small, central New Jersey
anime convention, Shoujocon proved to be quite improved over its
first year. While there were still some problems in organization,
the weekend still was a fun event. To read my small opinions
on the con, click on the link below.

journey to the City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia. The mission:
to meet and chill with voice actors Eric Johnson (Trunks) and Sonny

Dialogue
"In
three years on the morning of May 12th....
(announcer talks)
Goku: So what are they? Aliens, or something?
Trunks: No, they're Androids that were created right here
on earth. There doesn't seem to be any logic to what they
do. They're exterminator machines; manhaters. It's mindblowing
how powerful they are.
(announcer talks more)
Trunks: Father.. I'm glad I was able to see you. Farewell
young mother. May the good spirits protect you.

Trunks
Article in Australian Kids Magazine, K-Zone
A little
while back, I received an e-mail from an employee of K-Zone, a children's
magazine in Australia. I was asked if they could use info
from the ToT for a DBZ article they were going to do all about the
coming of Trunks. Of course I said yes, and just recently,
they sent me a copy of the finished magazine, on the house.
The article in itself is kinda cheesy, buy hey, it's a kid's magazine.
^_^ Here for your viewing pleasure is the K-Zone article,
all about Trunks! (notice the Trunks' General Sats, taken right
from the Trunks Info section.
Heh, I wish I knew how many kids right now are asking "what's
a Burning Attack"?)

Mini-Trunks
Article from Animerica Vol.8, Issue 7
This
issue of Animerica featured tons of info about the past and future
of DBZ on tv. Also included was a small article called "Mystery
Man" that describes the coming arrival (but already on video,
as we know) of a character who will forever change the history of
DBZ. What I find amusing about this is that it never
comes right out and says "This character's name is Trunks",
while years ago, Animerica flat out published in an issue that said
"Trunks is the son of Bulma and Vegeta". I guess
with his first appearance on tv nearing soon, Animerica is trying
to hype it up for people who haven't seen him. Oh well, check
it out for yourself!
