Past Updates

Saturday, 12/29/01 As for the site itself,
here are some things I still have to do: 1) add the sub-sections to
the main page, 2) fix links on the archived music videos page, 3)
decide what to do about movie clips. That's on my personal list of
things to do in the next couple o' days. Catch you laters!
So, that's that! You
heard it here. As you may or may not know, there's a guy on Smallville
that also has the name "Eric Johnson," so our Eric's gone
ahead and given himself a stage name. Pretty freaky, eh? I'll add
this info to the "Trunks Voice Actor Info" section as soon
as all my files are back up. The next video is something I'm extremely proud of, heheh, although I'm not sure if I should be. ^^;; I completed it last night at 3:40 am (I just *had* to finish it, or I wouldn't sleep!), and I've been working on it for the last few days. How can I describe what this video is about, hmm...well, to put it simply: this video is parody of everything that sucks about DBZ music videos, and all of its stereotypes, all in one package! It's in the form of a home shopping TV show, so it has some live action footage, something I've never done (or seen) before in an anime music video. Not only that, but it features 3 songs (to all those who ever asked me to make a Limp Bizkit video...you asked for it! HA!). Click here if you wanna read about all of the fun facts relating to this music video. Or if you want, just go straight ahead and download my "All-Purpose DBZ Music Video (How To Make a Bad One)". I really hope you enjoy this, as well as my other new video, because this was a blast to make. I at least hope it entertains you. (Note- both videos are in MPEG format [no exceptions. I ain't making RealVideo format clips anymore! They look shitty!], and are moderate file sizes, but have very good video quality.) See y'all soon! For all those who don't
bother to read my updates on the main page- I know my links aren't
working! I took them down on purpose. My site will be moved soon.
Please be patient. I've been getting some pretty rude e-mails from
people who just can't wait a few weeks for a web site to go back up.
There are more important things to worry about in life, so don't worry
about how long it takes me to get this shizzat all moved. :P - Gah, I suck, I keep
forgetting to fix the link to the Message
Board. There it goes. - As I'm sure most of you have heard by now, Eric Johnson will be doing a "celebrity chat" at the official Dragonballz.com web site. This will take place on September 27. - Still getting my Otakon report together. I just received my Otakon AMV contest tape in the mail today, so I am a tad distracted. Oh well! To hold you over until I have mind ready, please check out the Otakon reports over at DBC: We Don't Care. Both Zelda Master2000 and Skinbone have a report available, so give 'em a read! - *sniff* All
my buddies over at Majin Gohan are having troubles!
Majin Gohan won't be hosting sites anymore, so the hosted sites need
to find new locations. As I mentioned before, Savage
Z is moving to my server, Dragonball Kenkon is
moving in with Twisted
World and KHOW,
while the other sites...I dunno about just yet. I shall keep
ya posted! - The MPEG of
the winning Otakon action/regular category music video, Scott Melzer's
*amazing* DBZ video, "This is
Your Life", is now available for download.
You can find it only at Daizenshuu EX.
However, I also have a link to it on my own Music
Videos page. Oh yeah, I hope to have the Otakon
report ready this weekend. :) Also, stay tuned for some new Trunks
scans! Update: I have just received my official
"This is Otakudom" t-shirt. If you're looking for me in this shirt, here are
some pics that will help. This is the front of
the shirt, and my own quote from the fan dub is on the back. Huzzah! - Fan Manga goodies are now available for your viewing pleasure. Lots of good stories this time around. - In the Operators are Standing By section, there is a new item up for bid! OK, so it's not for sale, but it's fun to pretend, right? - Check out the The Random DBZ Fill in the Blank Contest for a new winner and sentence. - Otakon is in five freakin' days! I am so
excited! Me and my home slices (is that even a phrase?) are busy promoting the "This is Otakudom" fan dub, and my
Fushigi Yuugi music video, "Again" made the second showing time-slot.
Ah, this will be fun! Anywho, I'm sure I'll be posting more about my plans
for the con in the days to come, so stay tuned for more details. - The Sexuality of Trunks page has a couple of new and horny tidbits. - A new winner and sentence is up in The Random DBZ Fill in the Blank Contest. - For the time being, MajinKenny will not be able to accept Fanfics, as he is about to go away for a bit. Instead, Kyle-san will now be in charge of fanfic submissions in the weeks ahead. Please, be gentle to him. :) - The super neat site, Nani, has *another* new url! - Some of my eBay
Auctions are still going on, so if you'd like to buy some of "Meri's
Offical Junk", feel free to check them out. - Weekend pluggage! My boy A
Dawg's site, Majin Seishin,
made its debut at it's new host today. Be sure to check out his new editorial (hehe,
I love it to death!). Also, give this a go! - Happy Friday, peeps.
I got off from work today, so I figured I should make an update this
morning! Later, I'm gonna see Pearl Harbor. I hope it's
good! Well, tomorrow is the big day. Ohh, am I ever nervous!
I'm definiately gonna bring my digital camera, and I'm thinking I
might bring a video camera so I can make movie clips later on from
the experience of meeting the voices of Trunks and Krillin with Mike (hmm, I do believe his
site is down for the time being). Be afraid. I know I
am! On with the goods.. - I just can't stop doing Trunks Doujinshi translations! I swear, I'm addicted to it. I hope it's worth it, though! I wouldn't want all this work to be for nothing. *sniff sniff* This time around, an all *new* book entirely has been added to the doujinshi archives. Enter Tora Tora, a crazy little book just about Trunks. The images are hilarious, it's a fun ride. I have translated three stories for your reading pleasure. - And speaking of "reading
pleasure", why not give the new editorials posed in Enlightened Ones a looksie?
:) A Dawg, I love your work, mister. - *cough* So, "it" isn't ready yet. Once it is done, however, I shall mention it here on the main page. Sorry 'bout that. In the meantime, please enjoy today's update! I've made a bunch of new Trunks Screencaps, and they've been posted to GT Trunks- Page 2. Since these are from some GT fansubs (gawd, I haven't used fansubs as a source for screencaps in so long. I feel so dirty!), the images are smaller than usual, like when I take caps from commercially available goods. But in any case, they're still rare GT Trunks pics, so I hope you will like them! Ja ne for now. I shall come back when "it" is done. :P Umm, I was gonna have a Feature Film ready for this weekend, but that doesn't look like it'll happen. I'll definitely have one made next week, though! :) - I updated the Links page on my Newbie's Guide to Anime Music
Videos site, for a lack of anything better to do. - Alrighty, my final exams are Monday and
Tuesday. I wish to be thought of as a living zombie until the end of them. :P
However, once I'm done, you can look forward to a crap-load of new goodies from me.
I have a new idea for a music video I want to do, as well as a Feature Film, and a new
section. See ya soon!!
Wednesday, 4/4/01 - First order of business today, a bunch of Portuguese Trunks sounds from when he fights Cell have been posted to Trunks Around the World. Cell sounds.... interesting in Portuguese. :P Thanks Michan!
- In Trunks Cartoons, some new funny stories are now up on Page 2. This section was getting pretty large, so I divded it into two pages. I would have had a lot more cartoons to post, but AOL was dumb and deleted a bunch of my old submissions that were lying in my inbox. So, if you send me a story within the last month, and you don't see it posted today, please send it to me again.
- Two new pages of Vejita4Eva's Fan Manga, "Walk This World", are now available for viewing.
- I received the cutest item in my e-mail inbox yesterday! Shelly and her sister made a ToT Song for me, so I figured I may as well post it here. It's very easy to sing along to, so why don't you make an ass out of yourself and give it a go! It's quite fun!
Monday, 4/2/01 - Geez, I really have to stop making these updates from school...being on a T1 here spoils me. ^_^ Anywhooo, this afternoon, I have some new stuff to share. It's nothing out of the ordinary, but I hope you'll like looking at what there is to see.
- In compliance with my getting rid of link submissions time, I have posted a new batch of Links that I have found myself and liked, were sent to me, or were shown to me by friends (thanks, A Dawg!). Highlights this time around include Aku No Nawabari, Majin Gohan.com, Savage Z, and Twisted World. I also update links to sites that have new urls.
- Three very good editorials have beed added to the Enlightened Ones page. The got some vocal opinions in this batch, hoo boy. ^_-
Friday, 3/30/01
- I've updated the About Me and FAQ sections, simply because there was a lot of out-dated info and pictures in both places.
- Eric Johnson's e-mail address has been
added to the Trunks Voice Actor Info page. - For all you video-holics out there, I've posted 5 new English Trunks Movie Clips. These dubbed clips are from the episode when Trunks goes home to the future and kills the Androids. Compare them to the Japanese version clips that are already up, and notice some of the differences. It's fun! It seems like a lot of people missed this episode when it first aired, so here's your chance to catch up on what you may have missed.
- There's a winner and a new sentence up in Random DBZ Fill in the Blank Contest.
Wednesday, 3/28/01 Tuesday, 3/27/01
Monday, 3/26/01 - Hot DAMN, that was one helluva break!!!! YEEEEEEHAAAAAAW!!!!!!!!! You may have noticed that myself and Daizenshuu EX have not updated in a while. We decided that we hate you all and don't wanna do jack shit for any of you weasels! Just kidding! :) Allow me to explain what happened. We couldn't update because our access to our FTP accounts was blocked. I won't go into the reasoning of why this happened since it's a long, boring, and ugly story of when advertisers go bad (coming to FOX!). In any case, ToT is back whether you like it or not, although I have enjoyed not having to worry about the site more than anything. ^_^ To all those who didn't mind that I couldn't update, I love you. Thanks for respecting the problems we were facing on the www.animenetwork.com server. To everyone else: fuck you. Your life will go on if I don't make a stinking update.
Well, it's good to be back, and what timing. This is the three year anniversary of the Temple O' Trunks! *claps* I'm amazed that it's been around this long, and I fully intend to keep this monster up for as long as I can. Just keep in mind that this break from the site has spoiled me. It's gonna be weird getting back into the habit of updating, but I'll see what I can do. School is very important to me right now, and that takes precedence over everything at present.
Here is some happy news for all you Eric Johnson fans that I'm sure you'll get a kick out of! During the break, Eric gave me a new e-mail address that will be used for fan mail! How nice! Now you all can stop bugging me for his e-mail, har har har. So, if you'd like to contact the voice of Trunks, you can e-mail Eric Johnson here! Please be gentle. He's a great person. ^_^
Now for things to come in the future.... as you know, the new dub Saiyaman tapes came out last week. Chibi Trunks made his first appearance in them, so I suppose I should make some clips of him! At first, I wasn't sure what to make of his voice. I thought it was utter crap, actually. However, as the epsidoes progressed, he sounded nice and bratty by the time he was kickin' in the second tape. When I have time (which won't be soon), I'll add some stuff of that! Come to think of it, I found the new tapes to be rather enjoyable, in their corny, bad dub kinda way. There were a few cute jokes in there (the whole "Gohan, keep your pants up" thing was very amusing), so it's something neat to watch on a rainy day. :P
In addition, I have worked on a few music videos in my absense. My Fushigi Yuugi music video for the Otakon is 75% done, so I'll upload that tomorrow and post it for your visual amusement. I also have a few others that I'll have to post up at some point. Stay tuned!
Guess that's all for now. I'm rather taken a-back by this whole being able to update again thing. If I had my way, I'd still be on a break, but I should deliver da goods to y'all! See ya soon.
Friday, 3/2/01 - I normally don't do anything like this, but today I thought I would make an exception. My good ol' pal Leda-chan has sent a truly hilarious Trunks Cartoon that I had to simply go ahead and post. Seriously, this is the best submission I have ever gotten.... It's an edited doujinshi, but it's still really good. I don't wanna give the plot away, so you'll have to check it out for yourself ^_^. There has been another new Cartoon added as well, so be sure to give that a looksie. Remember, the Temple O' Trunks does not endorse the use of drugs in any way, shape or form. :) Oh yes, tonight, I hope to make a new music video, so stay tuned for that this weekend.
Tuesday, 2/20/01 - It looks like Geocities decided to be a big poop and not allow hotlinking files from other sites anymore. As a result, there have been a lot of broken links out and about in the Fan Manga section. Some things have been uploaded to new locations, so the Darci's "Trunks Time Collection" and my "Homeroom Blues" stories are now working again!
- A new, very nice Trunks Desktop Theme has been added, thanks to David.
- Two editorials are now up in Enlightened Ones.
Sunday, 2/25/01 - Huzzfrickinzah, my midterms are over! Wheee, less stress than usual shall ensue (barely). This weekend, I've posted a butt-load of new images in Trunks Doujinshi- Page 2. They're all very loverly. ^_^ Sorry, I haven't been able to work on the translations lately....
- Got a winner and a new sentence up in Random DBZ Fill in the Blank Contest.
Tuesday, 2/20/01 - The day of freedom (meaning, end of midterms) is upon us (meaning, me)! Before that day come, please enjoy the numerous Trunks Cartoons that have been posted. Good day!
Sunday, 2/18/01 - We're coming into the home stretch! Only one more midterm to go...and then...and them....beautiful freedom! Wahahahaha (that is, until it's time for finals)! After this last exam, the stress level should definitely be down, and that is a good thing. Between studying and pulling out my hair and driving all over the state, I was able to make a spiffay update today. Please enjoy!
- Added three new Fan Manga stories today. I also slightly modified the look of the page. ^_^
- 7 new images are up in Scans- Page 2.
- Got a new funny Trunks pic posted in Trunks POTW.
Friday, 2/16/01 - My, my, my, has it ever been a busy week. I still have one more exam and one paper to do within the next week, so please bear with me. Such is the life of a busy college student. The only thing I was able to update today (in the midst of study for a loverly Art History exam) was some mad sweet sexy French Trunks mp3's to the Trunks Around the World section. Mucho thanks go out to always wonderful Roselyne for encoding the sounds. ^_^ Enjoy!
- Because you demanded it, the link to the down Fanfic, "Walk This World", has been found at an all new location. While I personally don't care for fanfics, this is one of the few that I've ever read, and really, really liked. I hope you will, too! :)
- Good lord, you simply must check out this parody site called "Dragonball Community: We Don't Care!". *wipes tear from eye* I've always wanted to do a site like this, so I'm glad someone finally got around to doing so! 'Tis a thing of beauty, it is. It's a riot, so check it out if you can spare some time!
Monday, 2/12/01 - One exam down, 2 to go. Sorry gang, but I have a lot of studying to do, so my current doujinshi translations are only half-way done. I plan on finishing them up at school tomorrow, and posting them in the evening. Stay tuned for that. ^_^ And now, for today's update...
- Yes, yes, I know the chat room blows. It looks like my plan for getting an mIRC chat fell through for the time being. However, thanks to the suggestion of chat regular, Meli-chan, a new Chat Room has been made! Yeah, it ain't the best, but it's certainly better than the old one (I hope). :P
- In Animerica Vol. 9, Issue 1, a very, very small review of the History of Trunks dub video has been provided. While not as well done as reviews I've seen on the web, I was glad to see the video get at least some attention in the popular mag (although, it woulda been cooler if they did a review of the DVD). I won't post the whole review, but I will show you the last part of it, which I think is something we can all pretty much agree with:
"Remains to be seen", my ass. The guys at Animerica don't go online much, I guess. :)
Sunday, 2/11/01 - Geez, I'm really churning out these music videos like there's no tomorrow. :P Today's video is a non-Dragonball treat. It's a Sailor Moon music vid based on the Sailor Moon R movie! There are two versions of this video: You can download either "Carry On Dancing"- High Quality (12.2 MB) or "Carry On Dancing"- Lower Quality (6.1 MB). I made this video on a whim last night, but I think it turned out, really, really well. The quality is amazing, too (even in the low-quality version), since I used clips from the SMR DVD. Thanks go out to VegettoEX for letting me use his DVD and computer to make this vid.
- I'm currently working on another doujinshi translation. I hope to have it up tonight or tomorrow, depending on how much studying I get done (three exams in one week, eeek!).
Friday, 2/9/01 - Wheeee haw! I finally finished up the music video remake I've been working on! This music video is one of the more popular ones on the site, and I'm glad I was able to remake it, since I think the original is a piece of garbage. Here it is, the Vegeta Music Video: Break Me (Version 2.0). This version sports much better quality than the old one, and has some new, crazy clips. I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed making it.
- Holy god, there's an new English Trunks voice! Heh, well, sorta. This Trunks voice isn't in the FUNi dub. The new English Trunks voice I'm talking about is a part of the Holland dub of Dragon Ball Z. I've known about this for awhile, but was sworn to secrecy and couldn't mention anything about it....-_-; This is dubbed by...*dun dun dun* The Ocean Group, of DBZ Seasons 1 & 2, Ranma 1/2, Gundam Wing, and Escaflowne fame. Yeah, remember them? The actors who could actually *act*? Anycrap, they're doing a DBZ dub for Holland. Neat, eh? Interestingly enough, these new episode include Trunks' appearances. VegettoEX was kind enough to encode me a file of Trunks' Holland dub voice. You can download it here, and it can be found in the Special Features section (I'll move it to "Trunks In Engligh" at a later time). Hmm...my opinion on the new English Trunks voice? It sucks ass. Sorry... I prefer Eric Johnson's portrayal of Trunks much more (and it helps that he's a super nice guy!). This guy sounds like a stiff, un-emotional, dirty old man. Ack! If anything, it'll give you a good laugh, so check it out! Hmm...know what's scary? The dialogue and music sucks, just as much, if not more-so, than FUNi's. So what if it's got the old voices? It's still garbage. Arg, I need to purify myself....*runs away to watch some more Fushigi Yuugi*. Credits go to OA.
- Speaking of English voices....I'm running into trouble with the Eric Johnson interview. He wants to do it and all, but problems keep coming up. Once something actually gets *done*, I'll tell the whole story.
Wednesday, 2/7/01 - Dena has gone through all of the Fanart submissions, and she has picked 16 new images out of the batch. All the new art work can be found on Page 2 of the Fanart section.
- Four truly excellent editorials are now up in Enlightened Ones.
Monday, 2/5/01 - Well, I was hoping to have a nice music video remake up today, but a snow storm prevented me from getting home, so I'm making this update from elsewhere. Instead, I shall post this Music Video, the Fushigi Yuugi Music Video: Gamma Version. I'm going to be getting the second Fushigi Yuugi DVD box set tomorrow, so I can go work on this video even more later! I hope you like it. Please, don't tell me to "hurry up and finish up" this video. The Otakon music video contest isn't until the summer, and I don't have any intention of finishing it up soon. :) Just enjoy the preview of what is done so far.
- Hey fan girls, I suggest checking out the new Trunks Doujinshi images! There are a few new ones from the "Blue Berry" book that I think you might like. ^_^
- There's a new winner and sentence in Random DBZ Fill in the Blank Contest.
Saturday, 2/3/01 - Holy crap on a stick, I'm updating again! Ah, so long, my beloved extended break from the site.....Anywho, allow me to explain the situation, so that I may never see a "why is your site down!?" e-mail again (oh....god...wretched e-mails...). Our host moved its servers to another state, so the sites on www.animenetwork.com (DaizenshuuEX included) were down. Even when the sites were back up in the new location, we weren't able to gain access to the server in order to make any additions. Why? Well, other than the hosting company being incompetent twits, there's not much else to say. In any case, we're able to update now, and the ToT's ready to rock. I kind of have a busy weeking ahead of me, so I can only add a few new things. But I DO have a lot of fun things planned for the near future, including ideas for three or so new sections (hey, I wasn't *totally* sitting around twiddling my fingers while the site was down!). Stay uned for that, cuz I hope you'll enjoy what I have in store. On with the crappage du jour....
- The Fan Manga section has additions to both the ever-popular Darci-san story collection (this time, starring...CELL!?), and the "Walk This World" saga. Enjoy!
- A few new and amusing Trunks Cartoons have been produced.
- While the site was down, I was able to translate yet another of my new Trunks Doujinshis! I'll have some real nice stand-alone pics up within a day or two!
Wednesday, 1/24/01 - 4 new funny Trunks Cartoons have been posted. I recommed the Piccolo's Auction story, as well as the Trunks x Goku comic, hehe.
- Added a couple of quotes to The Sexuality of Trunks. My fave new one was the quote posed in the Japanese version quotes section. :)
- Well, the new "Great Saiyaman" tapes came out yesteday (kinda funny, considering none of the episodes actually had the Great Saiyaman in them). I haven't finished watching them yet, but they look fun! I adore stupid filler episodes. I've never seen the Afterlife Tournament episodes in Japanese before, so I'm allowed to be a dubbie for just these few episodes, muwahaha! However, I have seen the last episode on the last new tape before, so I was able to compare it to the original. Oooohh baby, am I loving teen Gohan's voice! And it was especially startling to see Videl dubbed, too. Oh, she's kick arse. Heh, and they fact that they referred to "Hell" and "Mr. Satan" were also pleasant treats. I just can't wait 'till next month, cuz that's when Chibi Trunks will show up in the dub tapes. Scary. I guess I should provide a link to DaizenshuuEX, since I let VegettoEX use the tapes I bought yesterday to make fun things from the episodes. ^_^
Monday, 1/22/01 - Oh my, am I ever so very proud of me for translating this new Trunks Doujinshi. It's story number 2 in the "Blue Berry" book, and it's probably one of my fave single doujinshi stories ever. Not only that, but I think my translation is dead on. Steve Simmons, look out! And I don't wanna hear any bitching from Trunks x Pan haters regarding this story. I just post the doujinshi, so don't get all pissy with me just cuz...well...if I say any more, it'll give the story away. ^_^ I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!!
- Two more pages in the "Z Artiste" Fan Manga have been posted.
Saturday, 1/20/01 - This update goes out to all my crazy fangirls out there. Here are some super spiffy Trunks Screencaps of Trunks from DBZ Movie 9. Why are these special? Cuz is the one and only movie we get to see Trunks wearing that cute wifebeater/little denin vest number. Way to be fashionable! Oh yeah, more doujinshi translation fun coming soon! - A new winner and sentence has been added to Random DBZ Fill in the Blank Contest. Wednesday, 1/17/01 - Tonight, I have some of one of my new Trunks Doujinshi's scanned and translated. Yep, I translated one of the stories all by myself! I'm so glad I was able to put my Japanese skills to good use. It took a really long time for me to do (about 5 hours), but I'm really glad I was able to have this translated so that you all can enjoy this story. It's all about Trunks and Pan....'nuff said. I'll have more images and hopefully translated stories from this and all my other new doujinshi's up soon!
Tuesday, 1/16/01 - Happy birthday to me! Yup yup, I turned the big 20 today. Don't I feel old! Well...not really. ^_^ I had a great b-day so far (parking ticket aside), even if I did have school (my new classes rule! Three cheers for college). I got FOUR new doujinshi's, so I have a crapload of scanning I'll have to do (my fave one is a book all about Trunks and Pan. It's terribly sweet!). Stay tuned for that soon! Since I'm having a busy day, the only thing I can update for the time being is The Sexuality of Trunks. I'll be adding more shizzat tomorrow. Ja ne!
- Oh yes, if you have a few minutes to spare, I recommend checking out VegettoEX's feature on Yu Yu Hakusho. Now, I've seen the first few episodes and movies of this series, and I don't particularly care for YYH (don't hurt me! Although, Kuruma is hot). Regardless, I hope FUNi doesn't do evil things to the series. So, check out this feature so you know what's up before it's dubbed. Be a cool kid!
Monday, 1/15/01 - Happy MLK Day to all those who have off from school! All those who do have school....well don't you just suck. The spring semester starts for me tomorrow, so my winter break is pretty much over. Before I go and depress myself, please check out these updates.
- 2 brand new (and yaoi-ish) Fan Manga's have been posted!
- In the Non-DBZ Music Videos section, I've added a preview of the video that I want to submit to the 2001 Otakon. It's a Fushigi Yuugi video called "I'll See You Again" all about the love triangle between Miaka, Tamahome, and Hotohori. I only have 40 seconds of it done so far, but I really like how it's going. Any suggestions, ideas, or comments on the video about be deeply appreicated!
- Arg, I forgot to link to Dragonball Kenkon when I updated the links page! Gomen nasai!
Saturday, 1/13/01 - Booyah, I *finally* finished looking through all the link submissions! Huzzah am I. Out of the 65 submissions, 18 of them have been posted in the Links section. I hope you'll enjoy checking them out!
- I did yet another music video remake. This time, it's "Bye Bye Bye: Trunks vs. #17 & #18" yet again! You may be wondering "Meri, why in cheese's name did you make *another* BBB remake?" The answer is simple: Upon fixing my capture card, I wanted to make a REALLY high quality version of one of the site's most popular vids. This version is the highest quality Real Video music video on this site. it's 5.7 MB, but damn, I think it's worth it. ^_^ Speaking of music videos, my server-mate VegettoEX made a friggin' awesome Rurouni Kenshin video. It's based on the OVA's, so you can bet that it's not meant for those with weak stomachs. :p Well, I got the first half of Fushigi Yuugi on DVD in my possesion (thank you muchly, Scott)...that means I won't be doing much of anything for awhile. ^_- Take care!
Thursday, 1/11/01 - Here's a section that's in need of a good update....Fanart! That's right! Dena has sifted through all of the fanart submissions, and the 18 new pics posted are the creme of the crop. Enjoy! Remember, when sending submissions to Dena, make sure you include your name, and use correct spelling and grammar in your e-mails. :)
- Two new great editorials by Sam The Man Spencer have been posted in Enlightened Ones.
- Link Submissions will be open from now until 1:00 PM (EST) tomorrow afternoon. Please, for the love of cheese, only submit your link if your site is actually *completed* and has *original* content. Send link submissions (and only link submissions) to this address.
- Before I post the new batch of links, I want to direct you to Mr. Popo's Palace. It's real fun!
Wednesday, 1/10/01 - Got a few new Trunks items as far as Computer Goodies are concerned! First up, in Trunks WinAmp Skins- Page 6, 2 new skins are available for download.
- I made 2 new odd looking Trunks Wallpapers. I think they turned out ok... ^_^
- John has sent me yet 4 more great Trunks Scans. There are some really big ones in this batch that hope you'll enjoy!
- Updated Trunks POTW with a new image.
- If you haven't done so already, please check out VegettoEX's new "Staff Thought" at DaizenshuuEX. I think it's really worth reading. It's probably the most throught provoking DBZ-related written work I've read in awhile.
- The interview with Eric Johnson should be taking place tonight, hopefully. Expect the results of that to be up on the ToT...sometime after that...*sweatdrops*. Maybe I'll have it all finished up on the weekend.
Tuesday, 1/9/01 - I suppose a good drool-fest is in order for all you ladies out there, so today, I've updated two image sections. Let's take a look, shall we?
- 4 big and really pretty (and images I've never seen before, to boot) pic have been added to Trunks Scans. Thanks John, for submitting these pics!
- In Trunks Doujinshi- Page 2, both the Contributed and Miscellaneous sections have new (and dang gorgeous) additions. Speaking of doujinshi, I'll be getting a whopping 4 new books for my birthday (which is in a week, the day I go back to school, grr), so expect to see a *lot* of scanning on my part. ^_^
Monday, 1/8/01 - Muwahahaha! I got Adobe Premiere working again (thanks to the help of a friend)! Ahhh, I feel so fulfilled now that I made a new music video! I'm doing something different for a change, so I made a Sailor Moon mini-music video. It's called "Faded" and it's all about Seiya (from Three Lights) trying to take Usagi for himself (I never liked Mamoru to begin with). ^_^ I hope you liked it! I definitely enjoyed doing something non-Dragonball for a change.
- Thanks to Ultimate Kaiho, the Trunks Desktop Icons actually work now. Download the zip file to check 'em out.
Sunday, 1/7/01 - My video capture card worked today for about....20 minutes (before subsequently konking out on me again...naturally). I was able to make 3 new Trunks movie clips before the thing started acting all weird. I'll add more when it works again.
- I've been getting a lot of requests asking what other characters made the Animerica Fan Awards list, in addition to the Dragonball peeps. To make things much easier, I typed out the entire list of the Animerica Fan Awards- Fave Males/Females. I especially like the top 10 males, cuz 9 out of 10 of them are some of my own personal favorites. ^_^
Saturday, 1/6/01 - Gah....after my video capture was working for like, 2 days, nothing is going right again. I can't make music videos cuz my Adobe Premiere is funked up (ARG!!), can't make movie clips, can't do didly squat. So, until I can get things working again, I'll have to settle for posting this "news".
- In the latest issue of Animerica (Vol. 8, Issue 12), the results of the Fan Awards were in, and boy oh boy, the men of DBZ made a killing in the "Favorite Male Character" category. This was quite a shock to me....Trunks was at #5 (out of 25) characters! Wow, I'm amazed he made the list at all. Here are all of the DBZ males to make the list: #2- Son Goku, #3- Vegeta, #5- Trunks, #14- Piccolo, #24- Gohan. Oh yeah, and Bulma was #25 on the list for most Favorite Female Characters.
- Check out DaizenshuuEX for a great review of the History of Trunks DVD. If EX is in a good mood, maybe he'll let me watch the DVD tonight ^_^;
- I made a Vash The Stampede wallpaper. Go me, I'm in a Trigun mood.
- I'll be renting the first few volumes of Outlaw Star, so I'll put in my two cents and ruin it for the rest of you before Cartoon Network airs it :P
Wednesday, 1/3/01 - Yes! Finally, I got my video capture card working again. I whipped up 2 movie clips of Trunks today. One is when he says goodbye to everyone and leaves to go back to the future, and the other is when Baby Trunks takes his first steps! I should have more clips up tomorrow.
- In the Trunks Timelines section, a really cool explanation of the Alternative Timelines Created By Trunks has been made. Thanks go out to Bulma 733 for making this!
- All of the Trunks Wallpapers have been re-arranged to look more organized, and 3 new wallpapers are now up.
Tuesday, 1/2/01 - Huzzah, Happy New Year! Hope you had a great one. Mine was spiffy, and it's even better knowing I still have a few weeks off before school starts ^_^ May as well get on with the update.
- A lot of Contributed as well as Miscellaneous Trunks Doujinshi- Page 2 images have been posted.
- One of those new Doujinshi images made it as this week's Trunks POTW. That's probably one of my fave doujinshi images of all time!
- Check out the Fan Manga section to read a new story called "Wedding Day."
- In Random DBZ Fill in the Blank, a new winner and sentence is now up.
- A new story has been added to Trunks Cartoons allabout Dr. Gero wanting to have a party.
- A couple of new quotes are in up Sexuality of Trunks. Sub
- Well, the "neat surprise" that I wanted to have ready didn't come off as planned. Sorry, these things happen. But here is some good news to make up for it! The Eric Johnson interview should be up sometime this week (if I get my ass in gear and work like mad). Stay tuned!
Sunday, 12/31/00 - Wow...can you believe the year 2000 is almost over? I sure can't. It's been a tremendous year for the ToT, so thanks to the fans who keep coming back here for more weirdness! Time flies when you're having fun! I want to apologize in advance, because I wanted to have some Trunks movie clips from the last dub episode up today. Sadly, my capture card decided to stop working, so I'm pretty much screwed until I can fix it. What I can promise is a neat surprise that will be up tomorrow, if things go as planned. Now, on with the goodies I *was* able to make!
- Android 18 has gone through all of her Trunks Fanfics submissions, and I posted a few of the written works up. The reason why only a few of the new submissions are posted is because several people didn't write their own names on their fanfics. If you don't see yours listed, please contact Android 18 and tell her which one you wrote. Once we figure out who wrote what, I'll post the rest.
- I've added 6 Philippine sounds to the Trunks Around the World section!
- New predictions have been added to Look into the Future.
- A couple of new quotes are in up Sexuality of Trunks. Submissions for this section have been uh...pretty lackluster lately...that's why there aren't so many posted ^_^.
Saturday, 12/30/00 - How I adore looking outside the window to see the world covered in beautiful snow....yeah, a whole friggin' foot of it. Needless to say, I'm stuck indoors for awile, seeing as how I can't dig my car out of my driveway. It's a cold winter's day, but maybe these nice new Trunks Screencaps will warm you up! 35 Trunks images from DBZ Movie 7 have been added to Movie Images- Page 1. Enjoy! Since I'll be home all day, I'll probably add a new batch of fanfics later on.
- Well....yesterday was the last appearance of Mirai Trunks in the dub. Ah, Trunks, we harldy knew ye! But fear not! Chibi Trunks will be on the way with the new episodes...god only knows when those will air. Anycrap, I'll later add some movie clips of when Trunks goes back to the future and kicks some Android bootie. If you can't wait till then, I already have those clips in Japanese in my Movies section.
Thursday, 12/28/00 - Aww, I'm so sad to see the holidays pass, but at least the time was a joyous one! I got lots of neat stuff, like a brand new video capture card *drool* (I've spent the last 2 days trying to get it to work, which is why I haven't updated). The weirdest thing I got above all was a surprise gag gift from my grandma: a Trunks pillow. *sweatdrops* It's kinda funny looking, so I'll post a pic of it (using my mom's new digital camera, huzzah!) sometime when I get bored. I hope y'all had a good holiday,too! On with the update.
- 10 beautiful images have been posted in Trunks Doujinshi- Page 2 under "Misc. Doujinshi Pics." As you might be able to see, I re-organized the Doujinshi section so that all the Contributed and Misc. Piics are on one page, and the stories are on another. This should make things load faster.
- Trunks goes back to the future today on dub DBZ, for all those who don't know. Look for a nice moment between Vegeta and Trunks. I'll probably have a movie clip of it up later today or tomorrow.
- Since I got a new capture card, expect some better quality Trunks pics from DBZ movies 7 & 9 in the coming days. I'm gonna go play with my new X-Mas toys some more, so bye! *fries brain playing The Sims*
X-Mas, 12/25/00 - Happy holidays, everybody! I hope you're having an awesome winter break so far. As you can see just by looking...the ToT is looking different. That's right, that is the ToT X-Mas present I was talking about! I've had the old layout up since May, so I figured it was time to do something different. Kinda looks like "ToT Does Las Vegas", huh? I kept the colors the same, because I like them (and it would be a hassle to change *all* of the sub-pages). Oh, speaking of which, I changed the layouts to the main sub-sections, too (Humor, Media, etc). Now, they have descriptions for each section, so you know what you'll be in for when you click on the links. The only thing I didn't change was the look for the sub-sub-pages, since those are already pretty basic.
Now, in addition to the main layout and menu changes, I also altered a few other things. First the Trunks Cels sub-section has been moved to Images. I got rid of the "Trunks' First Appearance" section cuz, well, I needed the server space. I have also retired the Survey section. It was getting pretty hard to come up with Trunks-related questions over the course of three years, so I decided to discontinue that.
Well, that's the surprise! I hope you like the new layout, and find it aesthetically pleasing and helpful. I'll probably make some more modifications to it in the coming days, though. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas!
- What? You thought the new layout would be the ONLY surprise I'd have for you!? Get real! When the ToT delivers the goods, the ToT does it with a bang! And here is that bang. Coming within weeks: An Interview With Eric Johnson (the voice actor of Trunks, for all ya punk-asses who didn't know that)!! Yes indeed! I've finally contacted the man, and he's agreed to an interview for this site! We're still working out the details right now, but I'm sure things will be figured out soon. Stay tuned for that. It's bound to be really fun, and a great experience.
- 10 new items have been added to DBZ Winter Holiday Stuff!
- For all those who may have missed it, the new Feature Film, A Christmas Carol: DBZ Syle is now up. It's holiday fun for the whole family!....well....maybe not. ^_^
- Plug: ToT Store! :p
Saturday, 12/23/00 - Wheee! The new Feature Film has been made! Since the old X-Mas Film was lost in the server move, a new holiday Film has been made in it's place. It's called A Christmas Carol- DBZ Style. As you can tell from the title, it's a parody of the classic Charles Dickens story. I hope you enjoy it!
- I've decided that I just can't handle submissions for a few sections any more...therefore, I have gotten some extra help! If you'd like to submit some Fanart to the ToT, e-mail your drawings to Dena. To e-mail your Trunks Fanfics, please send them to Android 18. I've also gotten a new helper for "DBZ Never Says", but I'll probably post the info for that tomorrow.
- The new Version 4.0 download for The Trunks Video Game is now available, as well as an FAQ made by the creator of the game himself. i highly suggest checking out the FAQ, because I'm sure it'll prove to be helpful.
- A new winner and sentence is up in the Random DBZ Fill in the Blank Contest.
- I'm still working on the ToT X-Mas Surprise....that'll be on on Monday. Buwahaha!
Wednesday, 12/20/00 - My gosh, did you see DBZ today? Veggie-chan showed....feelings towards his son! *sniff* Kinda gets ya right where it hurt, doesn't it? Even though they edited out Trunks' little nasty scene (and deservedly so *shudder*) I like how that scene was handled in the dub better than the original version. So sue me, I like the fact that Vegeta went on about his boy. It's more interesting that way. Anycrap, on with the update.
- Darci-san has added a *wonderful* new addition to her Trunks Time Collection with the story "Christmas Time Trunks". You can find it in the Fan Manga section. Will Trunks get who he wants for X-Mas? You'll have to go and see for yourself. ^_^
- Whoops, I goofed when I made yesterday's screencaps update. I forgot to move the previeous new addtions to different sections. So, to find the previous batch before yesterday's group, here are some links: the previous new Long Haired Mirai Trunks screencaps are here, and the previous new Short Hair Mirai Trunks caps are here.
Tuesday, 12/19/00 - Yep, Trunks got killed today, hot damn. Doesn't he have a neat death? Cell just shows up and ZAP! Thar he blows. Anywho, you can find the movie clip up Trunks' death up here. For comparison's sake, here is the Japanese version of Trunks' death. I'm more than certain that the scene when Trunks coughs up blood will be cut out tomorrow. It's really pretty gross :P If you want to see the original version of that particular scene, check it out here.
4:35 pm - YES!!! All my finals are over! A month off from school! Huzzah am I. To celebrate, I've added a whopping 100 images to the Trunks Screencaps section. What I've done was that I re-made the entire Trunks TV Special portion, using the "History of Trunks" video as a source. These pics are really high quality (and pretty large), so I hope you'll enjoy viewing them as much as I liked making them!
- A new pic is now up for the Trunks POTW.
- Still working on the secret ToT X-Mas surprise, blah...
Saturday, 12/16/00 - I've had 3 final exams in 2 days. As you can imagine, I feel half dead. *sigh* Only one more to go, and I get a month off from school! Anywho, on with the update.
- I've finally gotten rid of that crappy Ezboard! My pals Arcada, Cat, Lunch, Anzu, Android 17 and I have dug up some dough and decided to buy an Ultimate Bulletin Board! It's very spiffy so far, but we have a lot more fun things we wanna add to it. Check out the new message board!
- A lot of new Too Much Trunks- Page 2 quotes are now up.
Thursday, 12/14/00 - Holy crap, Too Much Trunks- Page 2 has been updated! It's been months, huh? These are submitted entried up until August 2000. Trunkstar7 hasn't gotten around to editing the rest yet. Keep in mind the the ones I just posted is only HALF of the total quotes that have to go up. I'll post the second half tomorrow. Well, I got two finals tomorrow that I should be studying for, so I am off. :P
Wednesday, 12/13/00 - With Gohan's transformation episode airing on t.v. yesterday, I was able to remake an old music video of mine, "Gohan Transforms to SSJ2- Spirit vs Spirit" (Version 2.0). The quality of this one is great, even if the stupid CN logo in the corner. The only major change I made was that for the scene when #16 gets killed, I used the Japanese version insted of the English verion, since the dub one was slightly edited. Enjoy!
- Before I make this next update, I would like to say that I did not steal this idea from Planet Namek (I was simply reminded that I had signed up for something I forgot about :P). I signed up for an account with CafePress months ago, at the suggestion of a friend, but never did anything with it cuz I was too lazy to make the merchandise. But, when PN said they were making shirts, I remebered that I could do that, too. So I whiped up some purty thangs, and made some fun ToT stuff. With that said, here goes the sales pitch:
"Looking for that perfect gift to give to your favorite Trunks fan for the upcoming holidays? Or maybe you'd like to buy some stuff from your fave Trunks site for yourself? Then the ToT Store is for you! Here, you'll find Temple O' Trunks shirts (even a Baby-Tee!), mugs and a mouse pad. With the winter season in full swing, now is the best time to get your very own ToT merchandise. Come on, all the cool kids are doing it! (ok, maybe not ALL the cool kids. ^_-) Check it out today." End sales pitch. :P Right now, there are two designs, but I hope to have more made soon.
- Curent status of the ToT X-Mas surprise: 30%. You know what they say about being slow and steady...blah, I hate finals week.
Tuesday, 12/12/00 - Today was the day, huh? Gohan goes SSJ2! I can safely say I never thought I'd see this on U.S. tv. My opinion? The beginning of the major scene started off *awesome*. Nearly perfect translation, good acting...yeah....even the editing of the smooshing of #16's head was well done. But then it went downhill the moment Gohan snapped. But you don't need me to tell you the rest. I'd tell you to go download whatever clips of this scene I made, but I can't, since I'm not home right now. I'm making this update from VegettoEX's place, so this is kinda a pain in my butt. But speaking of him, he's already gone and posted a mad hot MPEG of the scene at his site. Go check it out!
Monday, 12/11/00 - Aw yeah baby. One of the most dramatic moments in the history of DBZ will air tomorrow on Cartoon Network. You know I'm talking about the transformation of Gohan, of course. I have no doubt that the scene'll be butched, but I really look forward to seeing how it will be handled. I hope that Stephanie chick knows how to scream. ^_^ If you would like to see this wonderful scene in Japanese before watching it in English, you can download it here (ok, so this clip isn't how the scene *exactly* goes. It's been slightly re-edited to be like a music vid, but it still gets the point across that nothing beats the original version).
- A lot of new items have been added to A Look Into the Future. Now there's a section that hasn't been updated in awhile...
- In Trunks Doujinshi, I've posted a couple of new Miscellaneous Trunks pics. One is downright adorable, while two are...downright scary.
- Progress on the ToT X-Mas Surprise: about 20% or so. Damn finals week, keeping me busy. :P
Sunday, 12/3/00 - Updated Scans- Page 2 with some new images from the Cell and Freeza Sagas. They're so purty. ^_^
- The ToT contributed some small info to a Australian kids magazine called K-Zone. There's a DBZ article in it all about "the new kid on the block" called *gasp* Trunks! I'll have some scans of that up soon. It's corny in an amusing kind of way. I'm just glad I was able to help in my small little way (even though they didn't give me any credit, hehehe...-_-;).
Saturday, 12/2/00 - Aw yeah baby, the Real Video version of Trunks Music Video: Heart of Sword is now up. This is all y'all peeps who wanna download an ok quality, 5.8 MB file instead of the huge ass mpeg files. Enjoy!
Friday, 12/1/00 - Ah, I'm so happy this new Music Video is done! It's by far the best quality video I've ever made (hehe, sorry that the file sizes are huge), and it's just dang cool. What is it? Why it's the Trunks Music Video: Heart of Sword- Version 4.0. Please check it out! I don't think you'll be dissappointed. it kicks so much more ass than the old versions, yup yup. I'll have a RealVideo version of the video up sometime later today. Um, I'm making this update from work, so forgive me if some things are messed up. I'll fix stuff when I get home. I wanna give a shout out to mah homies at Setupsite and 7pm, for all your web hosting needs! *end plug*
Thursday, 11/30/00 - In the Games section, a fun little activity called Trunks Puzzles has been added. This is like those games where you get a messed up image, and you have to move the squares around in order to get the picture back to normal. So far, there are 8 puzzles to choose from. Enjoy!
Wednesday, 11/29/00 - A spiffy new Fan Manga called "Trunks Learns the Spirit Bomb" is now up. Heheh, it's not what you might it will be.....
- Updated the Random Pic of the Week with a funny lil' screencap.
- Added 2 songs and a Trunks pic by Darci-san to DBZ Winter Holiday Stuff!
- Right now, I'm working on a new and super neato spiffy version of the Trunks "Heart of Sword" music video. It looks *really* good so far, and I hope to have it up here in the next 2 days. I hope you'll check it out cuz it's really a lot better than the old version. :)
Monday, 11/27/00 - I've added 37 new large and purty Trunks Screencaps! I really like how this batch turned out. The majority of them are better versions of old, crappy, fansub-made images, so I hope you'll check these out! Wow, there are now 500+ screencaps of Trunks here....it's ok, I'm frightened too. ^_^
Sunday, 11/26/00 - Oh wow, I can't believe how hard it was to undertake this little task. I went and re-organized the Trunks Screencaps section so that is easier to navigate and will load faster. Now you can look up images by which version of Trunks you wanna see. Also, I deleted images that I had more than one of. My original plan was to make a new batch of pics today, but first I thought some cleaning of that section was in order. Maybe I'll have new pics up tomorrow or something. :)
Saturday, 11/25/00 - Ah, that was a nice mini-break. Now it's back to studying for exams and putting up fun stuffage, like this! Seeing how December is right around the corner, I decided to resurrect ye old DBZ Winter Holiday Stuff from last year! Have fun looking at these goods.
- A brand new story called "Walk This World" (based on the fanfic of the same name) by Vejita4Eva has been added to the Fan Manga section. I highly recommend checking it out. It looks great so far. ^_^
- Up in Random DBZ Fill in the Blank Contest, a winner has been chosen, and a new sentence is now up.
Thursday, 11/23/00 - Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! As a present from the ToT to you, a new Feature Film has been made! We seriously made this on a whim, with next to no planning at all, but I think you'll enjoy it! It's called A Dragonball Thanksgiving, kind of a combination Thanksgiving special meets Iron Chef. Enjoy, and have a good holiday!
Wednesday, 11/22/00 6:05 pm - Hmm. Mr. Satan is now Hercule. Oh well, works for me. Anyone who would think "Mr. Satan" would be allowed on a national kiddie cable program should get a good slap. His voice...meh. Better than I was expecting! ^_^ Anywho, here are some random things.
- Added a Kaio-sama Marriage Prospect. Lord help us all....
- Updated Trunks POTW with a nice shot of Mirai Trunks looking messed up.
11:00 am - Ya know, I was thinking about writing a review on the two new Dragonball video releases...(here comes the "but"). But, seeing as how two competent sites have gone and done such, I don't think there's any need for me to say anything, although I will throw in my two cents pretty quickly. First up, the new Staff Ramble at GingaGIRIGIRI places an emphasis on the awful music and mistranslations of the Bardock TV Special. At DaizenshuuEX, their review is a compare and contrast editorial between the Bardock Special and the dub of DB Movie 3. So, if you want to know about the new tapes before deciding to buy them or not, please check out the reviews at these sites. My opinion? The Movie 3 DB dub was friggin' incredible. Original music, good translation, and gosh damn it, "Makafushigi Adventure" was left in! This is probably my new favorite FUNi dub *ever*. The Bardock Special on the other hand...while the voice acting was good, the slightly mangled plot (since when can Bardock read minds?) and less-than-stellar dialogue made it kinda hard to swallow. I didn't have anything against the music. I mean, it was good, but it had no place in a DBZ thing, so that really ruined the mood of the Special (much like the "The History of Trunks"). My suggestion: don't buy the Bardock Special dub. Get the DVD so you can see it in Japanese (says she who doesn't even own a DVD player, bah). But, if you wanna see a GOOD dub, go out and buy DB Movie 3, "Mystical Adventure". That's all for now!
Tuesday, 11/21/00 - Today is an important date for new releases, like...the new BSB album! Just kidding, hehe...but, it is true that some important DBZ items are coming out today. I have just bought the dub Bardock TV Special, as well as DB Movie 3. I've already made 5 movie clips of some important scenes from the special. To be honest, I haven't even watched the tape all the way through yet. C'mon, I got school to go to 'n stuff. I'll write up a review of it when I have enough time to give it a good watch. Same goes for the DB Movie 3 tape. But in the meantime, please cheack out Lost 80's Dragon Ball Dub to see how that movie was originally dubbed before FUNi got their hands on it. Anywho, please enjoy the Bardock clips I've made so far.
Sunday, 11/19/00 - Here's a section that hasn't been updated in a while! Trunks Mad Libs (in the Games section) has a new Mad Lib added to it called "Famous DBZ Scene- Rewrite!". I hope to have more Mad Libs similar to this in the future. Have fun playing it! Saturday, 11/18/00 - Exam from hell, over. Trip to New York from hell, over. Now for the update from hell! Ok, not really, but it sounded neat. Here are today's goods. ^_^
- More English translation fun over in Trunks Doujinshi thanks to Liz and Co.! This time, Story #4 of "Golden Lucky 4" has been translated. It's all about Trunks coming up with a weird plan in order to make Goku his. Muwahahaha!
- The 6 preview cards of the Trunks Saga for the DBZ CCG have been added to the Special Features section for you to ogle and drool over. Thanks chibipunk16 for the scans!
Thursday, 11/16/00 - I am preparing for the exam from hell, but before I drown myself in a sea of books, lemme add some quick things for ya peeps to enjoy!
- The Sexuality of Trunks has some sick little quotes added to it.
- A winner and new sentence are up in Random DBZ Fill in the Blank contest!
Wednesday, 11/15/00 - 3 really lovely Trunks Wallpapers have been added. (I've got one of them on my compy right now!)
- My main editorial man, Underfaker, has written 2 new editorials for Enlightened Ones.
Tuesday, 11/14/00 - Back to classes, and back to site work, woohoo. Today, I got some neat and original stuff for y'all! Check out 11 new French Trunks sounds in Trunks Around the World. In this batch, you'll find a major cool Mirai Trunks mp3, a crap load of super kawaii Chibi Trunks sounds, and some downright *scary* sounds of GT Trunks. Wow, we covered all areas of Trunks-dom today, huh?
- Whoops, it would appear that I accidently deleted the Lost 80's Dragon Ball Dub link from the Media menu. Fret not, it was a mistake on my part, and I put the link back up. I didn't get rid of that section. ^_^
Sunday, 11/12/00 - YES! That new music video that has been delayed for a few days now is finally complete. it may be late, but boy, it was worth it. I *really* like how this one turned out, and I hope y'all like it as much as I liked making it! Behold the new humor video....Vogue: Strike A Pose! That's right, as I'm sure you can guess, this one is all about posing in Dragonball. This video is also my first real collaboration. VegettoEX of DaizenshuuEX helped pick out the clips that were used in the vid 'n such. You go, boy. Also, if you can't download RealPlayer files, or just don't like them, you can download an MPEG of the video at his site sometime in the near future. Enjoy!
Saturday, 11/11/00 - Darci-san has done it again with an all-new (and super twisted) Fan Manga entitled "Shaving Time Trunks". Yes, it is as odd as it sounds. ^_^
2:00 pm - Howdy peeps, how y'all been? I'm mad tired, myself. I had a concert to go to yesterday (ohh, my boys sound awesome live), 2 tests last week, and a Saturday morning class I had to drive to all early only to find that it was cancelled..*sigh* Oh well, now that all that crap is outta the way, I can actually make an update! Here goes...
- 6 contributed Trunks Doujinshi images have been posted! In addition, Story 8 in "Golden Lucky 4" (the Chibi Trunks one) has been translated thanks to Liz and Co.! You can check that out right here.
Wednesday, 11/8/00 - Here's the nifty little surprise I mentioned yesterday...a new section added to Trunks Around The World! 7 Philippine Trunks sounds are now up (and there are 14 more to go, whoa!) for your listening amusement. Thanks Andrew for supplying these sounds! I swear, evenually I'll have those Chinese wave files available!
Thursday, 11/2/00 - For your listening pleasure (and I mean pleasure, woohoo!), I've added more sounds to Trunks In Portuguese. Soon to come, those French Trunks sounds!
Tuesday, 10/31/00 9:00 pm - Whee! As promised, here are the sounds and new section! It's a new...*gasp* sounds section! You can find it in Media, and it's called......Trunks In Portuguese! Dat's right! Hear the Purple Haired Wonder in all of his Portuguese glory! Thanks to Michan for sending me the sounds. Now, I plan on getting Chinese and French Trunks sounds in the near future, so I shall be combining all my international Trunks sounds into something called "Trunks Around the World". Pretty freaky, huh? Enjoy!
- Got a new winner and sentence for Random DBZ Fill In The Blank Contest.
12:30 am - Happy Halloween! What will you be doing this year? Going out wearing your Goku or Vegeta outfits (saw 'em in the store..they looked scary)? Egging helpless fanboy's houses? Getting drunk on those little candy wax beer bottles? Well, whatever you do, have a safe and fun Halloween! To celebrate, please check out the latest addition to Darci-san's Halloween Fan Manga, "Trick or Treat Time Trunks". The ending isn't what you'd expect. ^_^ Let's give a round of applause to the great Darci for having her manga finished up by Halloween!! Later today, I'm gonna reeeealllly try to have those Trunks sounds I've been promising since the weekend. Oh, and get ready for a new section, coming soon!
Sunday, 10/29/00 - For all you fans of the chat, I've finally gotten around to getting a new Chat Room, since the old one was kind of a piece of crap. Hopefully, this new one will be slightly better. For the love of cheese, play nice or else I may have to get nasty. ^_^ This one is also temporary until I can find something better to use as a chat.
Saturday, 10/28/00 - Yeehaw, three midterms down, one more to go. With that said, I can finally add some stuff I've been sitting on for quite some time, heheh. Shall we begin? We shall!
- Added a new things to Trunks Cartoons, including the next chapter to Murf's story!
- A great looking new Trunks Fan Manga has begun it's serialization at the ToT. It's all about what may have taken place between Trunks and Vegeta in The Room of Spirit And Time.
- Posted a little something to Trunks Twilight Zone. Shoujo Kakumei Utena fans...rejoice!!
- I've added a DBZ Marriage Prospect for Freeza. Oh my...
- For fun stuff to look at if you're bored, go listen to the new (especially of the Eric Johnson wanna-be!!) fansounds at DaizenshuuEX and give the new game at GingaGIRIGIRI a whirl!
Wednesday, 10/25/00 - Ahh, I just love yesterday's episode when Trunks comes out of The Room of Spirit and Time *spits of the phrase "Hyperbolic Time Chamber"*. Anywho, I made a bunch of purty and colorful and large Screencaps from the episode when Trunks comes out of The Room of Spirit and Time (hmmm....do you sense a pattern going on here?). Yes, I know I made screencaps before from the episode when Trunks comes out of The Room of Spirit and Time (gee, maybe I'm trying to get a point across or something), but my fansubs suck, so it makes sense to remake those caps from the dub version. I would have added sounds from this episode, but I am dealing with the week from hell right now (2 midterms to study for, both are doozies!), so the sounds will have to come later (as well as screencaps and sounds from The History of Trunks).
- Updated the Trunks Pick of the Week with something quite odd that I made. ^_^
- Thanks to Liz and her friend (I'm sorry, i didn't get your name), the contributed Trunks Doujinshi all about Trunks walking in on his parents doing stuff has been translated! Remember, it's supposed to be read from right to left, not left to right. Check it out!: Page 1, Page 2.
Monday, 10/23/00 - Did you see the end of DBZ today? I hope you did, because THIS is the reason I'm happy to be a Trunks fan. Girls, give it up for our new and improved hottie and happy drooling! Speaking of episodes, be sure to watch tomorrow's, cuz there's a funny scene with Bulma and Trunks regarding his new hair-do (well, I HOPE the dub version of this scene will be funny....).
- Added the last 6 movie clips from the second half of "The History of Trunks" (which will be out in stores tomorrow!). I highly recommend downloading the last clip of this batch. It's when Trunks leaves Bulma to time travel to the future, and it's just too sweet. Plus, we get to hear him say "I love you"! ^_^ For all you crazed fans out there, close your eyes and pretend he's saying it to you. :P
Sunday, 10/22/00 - Whew, finally, I made 8 movie clips from the first half of "The History of Trunks" TV Special! I hope you enjoy these previewing clips. Watch 'em, and then check out the tape, in stores everywhere on Tuesday! ^_^ I hope to have clips from the second half of the special up tomorrow.
Saturday, 10/21/00 - Now that I have the History of Trunks, I was able to make a better version of one of my favorite music videos, "Bye Bye Bye: #17 & #18 vs. Trunks- Past, Present, and Future"!!
Update- I managed to re-encode the video so that it has better image quality while lowering the file size by 2 whole MB. I apologize to people who checked out the version I put up earlier today, but I recommened downloading the re-uploaded version. ^_^
Friday, 10/20/00 - The first of many dub Trunks TV Special items is now ready for download! It's a movie file of the scene when Trunks transforms into a Super Saiyajin for the first time. Scream for me bitch, scream! *ahem* He screams real good. ^_^ Enjoy!
- I make a lousy tutor. VegEX didn't do as well as he could have on his Japanese midterm! *thwap*! Oh, speaking of which, why don't you go to EX's site and listen to Jon and company's new fansounds? They're dang amusing, and good for you too!
Thursday, 10/19/00 - ...................*in a daze* That was....in...Ennnggglish! *slaps self* It's ok, I'm alright. Just trying to recuperate, that's all. Now....I may not be completely coherent just yet, but I'll try to give my reactions while they're fresh. Listen up! ^_^
* The big one (well, to me, it is): They gave Trunks a last name. That's right! Let the Temple O' Trunks be the first to tell you that Trunks' full name in the dub version of DBZ is "Trunks Brief". No more speculating, huh? Neat! This is good since in the Japanese version, Trunks' last name (could either be "Vegeta" or "Brief") was never mentioned. Me being the corny fan girl I am, this means a lot to me, hehe. * The music: Go ahead and kick my ass, I LIKED it. Whatchu gonna do about it, foo'!? I'm very tempted to buy the soundtrack. Although a bit of the music didn't really go with the scenes (the BIGGEST mis-match: rap during the scene when Gohan gives Trunks the last senzu), it generally set the tones for the scenes fairly well. It's definitely a lot better than the crap we're subjected to during the regular TV episodes. I found tha music for the special very tolerable. * Voice acting: Better than normal. #17 was especially good, and we got to hear #18 say "this sucks" ^_^ As for Gohan, he was kinda hot-sounding, so I'm glad. And da man himself, Eric Johnson does a great 13-year old Trunks voice! Sounds nice and....pre-pubescent. :P I was happy with the way he acted out the death scene. Nice nice indeed *claps*. * Dialogue: The major disappointment of this video. Very few lines were kept the same as the original, and while it didn't mess with the plot at all....I dunno...I guess I could have done without hearing dialogue when characters aren't supposed to be speaking. That really messes with the mood, yo. That's not to say that some of the unnecessary dialogue wasn't amusing! I kinda enjoyed all the remarks #18 made about clothes, and the things #17 was saying while running over people with his car was just too funny!
All in all, I'm quite pleased with how the dub of the Trunks TV Special turned out. While it doesn't capture the emotion of the story as well as the original version, it is still damn good production as far as FUNi is concerned! I'm impressed. If you're a fan of Trunks, or just want to see a great one-shot DBZ story, I highly recommend picking this one up!
- Here is something interesting! It's a pic of the cover for the soundtrack (yes, you heard right. *Soundtrack*) for The History of Trunks. Just thought ya'd like to see it so you know what it looks like in stores. ^_^
- CaryDraw has sent me an updated version of his Trunks Video Game (found in the Games section)! I hope that this time it will work for people who have tried to play it before, but it didn't work. Have fun, and happy gaming!
Monday, 10/9/00 - Saw the Trunks DVD's last night, soooo...it is time for my mini, half-arsed review (c'mon, admit it. You don't wanna read some lengthy shizzat! You want me to get straight to the point, don'tcha? Ok, I will!). Here we go! The goods: Sound and video quality. *droool* I felt like Trunks was right there with me! Oh wait, that wasn't Trunks, that was random guys in the dorm. The translations- dead on! Wheee, thanks Daimao guy! The menus- extra purty. Umm..I'm easily amused, so I loved these DVD's to death. For all you people who whine about not seeing the original version of DBZ, don't whine! Go out and get these DVD's! They're like whoaaa...Meri gives 'em two thumbs up. Thanks EX for letting me watch them. ^_^
- I'm gonna try to have a new section up tomorrow. Be VERY afraid. It's gonna be a weird one.
Sunday, 10/8/00 - Wheee, VegettoEX is letting me go and watch his Trunks DVD's today! I am just five shades of happy right now *drool drool*. I'll have a mini-review of it (you can bet it won't be a "normal" review, hehe) at a later time. Now, on with the update!
- Added 4 new weird products (including my favorite of the moment, DBZ bed sheets) to Operators Are Standing By!
- I finally got around to revising my FAQ and About Me sections. Both were in major need of an over-haul.
Saturday, 10/7/00 - A Scans- Page 2 update has been made on this fine Saturday. The twist: they're nothing but Trunks scans! Dat's right, 6 big and purty pics are up and ready to be drooled upon. ^_^ I wanna give a special shout out to Scott from the comic book store. Your music videos were fabulous!
Thursday, 10/5/00 - Woohoo, it's only an hour and a half after today's DBZ episode, and I've already got 5 new Trunks In English sounds ready for listening!
- I've posted 15 high quality and majorly cute images from yesterday's episode in the Trunks Screencaps section. Some of these are repeats of old images, but these look *much* better than my cruddy old, fansubbed-captured pics!
Wednesday, 10/4/00 - Alrighty, my damn scanner is still being weird. Heck, I even resorted to trying to scan my stuff at work, but I ran out of time. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow. In the meantime, check this out!
- Now that episodes that aren't yet available on video have begun airing on Cartoon Network, that means a lot more work for me! I'm gonna attempt to make more clear screencaps of Trunks and new sound bytes from these episodes on a fairly regular basis. Look at what a freak I am, I already went and made 10 sound files from today's new episode and put them in the Trunks In English section! Hope you enjoy them! Remember, the ones with the smiley face ^_^ are the ones I like the best.
Tuesday, 10/3/00 - Grrrr, I was planning on adding a crud load of cool images today, but my scanner is fudged up. I'll definitely try to have a good handful of pics up tomorrow, though. In the meantime, here's a Trunksly news bit (ok, so it's not really news). Tomorrow is the episode when Trunks plays with the squirrels on Cartoon Network. Watch it and die laughing. :) That is all! I hope the dub will capture the pure stupidity and cuteness of the scene. ^_^
- On a side note, I finally got around to updating the Virtualgreetings.com site I work on at my job. ^_^
Sunday, 10/1/00 - 5 nifty new Trunks In Japanese sounds have been posted!
- I've added a few contributed and miscellaneous images to Trunks Doujinshi.
- For da ladies, a new pic of the English Voice Actor of Trunks, Eric Johnson is now up. Oh my, is he a hottie. ^__^
- A winner has been picked for Random DBZ Fill In The Blank Contest and a new sentence is up.
- I finally updated Trunks POTW and Random POTW.
Friday, 9/29/00 - I apologize for the lack of updates these few days. The reason? I made a new music video! Yessiree bob, this is one that I've wanted to make for a long time, but only had the chance to put it together now. It's a video all about the abusive relationship between Trunks and Vegeta called "It's A Sin: A Vegeta and Trunks Music Video". It's a tad depressing, but I hope you'll like it anyway!
- If ya haven't done so already, I high recommened reading "The Sean Schemmel Experience" feature over at DaizenshuuEX. It's really interesting, and the sounds at the end rule! Major props to Jon for making that whole thing happen.
Tuesday, 9/19/00 - The Temple O' Trunks has just passed it's 1,000,000th hit! Wheee! Only took 2 and a half years, but hell, it's damn cool! *begin awards-like acceptance speech* I just wanna thank me mommy and daddy, and every fan of the ToT that made this all possible! This site wouldn't be anywhere without the continuous support of the fans, so I thank you for that! Speaking of the fans, I got 2 entries for the 1,000,000 visitor contest, and I don't trust either of them! Therefore, no one wins until either someone fesses up, or I come up with some kind of plan. Anywho...this is quite the milestone! I seriosuly never thought that errr...anyone would go to the ToT when I first made it, let alone get this far, so...thanks again to all the fans! You rock. I'm writing this from VegEX's dorm , so this is kinda half-assed. ^_^ Sorry! I'll have a real update tomorrow. *blow kisses to peeps* Later!
Monday, 9/18/00 - I'm delighted to say that this Link submissions period went very well! I'm probably posting 75% of the sites that were sent in, and that's very good compared to the last time which was uhh.....not that much. ^_^ For your viewing pleasure, here are 17 new Links!
Sunday, 9/17/00 - I think I'll hold off on posting up the new Links until tomorrow. The Gymnastics competition on the Olympics is really distrating me right now, so I'll save it for later, k? Ok. ^_^
- As you may have noticed, the ToT is nearing it's One Millionth visit. Wow! *sniff sniff* I can hardly believe it myself. Well, as thanks to all the people you have come here, I'm gonna have a little contest! Whoever is the 1,000,000th visitor will get any DBZ fansub of their choice (provided I can make a copy of it) and a CD-ROM with every single ToT Music Video. Sweeeet! Now, to prove that you're the lucky visitor, you must e-mail me a screen capture of the counter on the ToT proving that you're it. If I get conflicting images due to cheaters, well....we'll see what happens. Good luck!
- Page 3 of Darci's new Fan Manga has been fixed. This is important because that page is a vital element to the story. =)
4:20 pm - Finally, a new Feature Film has been made! Sorry it's been so long since the last one. There's a reason for that. My mom bought the video camera to Bermuda with us and let's just say that the combination of sand, heat, and water isn't a good thing for a video camera. But now it's fixed so it's all good! Today, we bring you The DBZ Olympics! Watch as your fave DBZ characters go head to head in the battle of the brutes!
- Darci-san has made yet another spectacular Fan Manga! If you're easily offended, don't read this one. =P If you have an open mind, go ahead and yuck it up, cuz this one is a riot! This has been called by some "The Best Mini-Manga of the Year!" ^_^
Saturday, 9/16/00 - Late night update, wheee! Just want to say that Link submissions are open! Now, I can't stress this enough: ONLY SUBMIT YOUR SITE IF IT'S COMPLETE AND ORIGINAL! *slaps self* Good god, I used the caps. Anywho, please send you're site name and url to this address! Submissions close at noon tomorrow. Laters!
- Expect something cool tomorrow, yup yup.
Friday, 9/15/00 - Kinda got a situation going on with my forum on the BBA, but 's all good! Since I'm such a freak, here I am, at work, getting a new message board when I should be doing my job, lol. For now, it's pretty simple, but when I have more time to plan I'm gonna try to get a UBB. To all the members of the old forum, I'm sorry you had to go through all the garbage that just went down, but I hope this new thang can allow us to start over again and chill. Here is the new Temple O' Trunks Message Board.
Thursday, 9/14/00 - Since the English version of the famous Goku and Piccolo Driving Episode aired yesterday, I've decided to remake the old music video I made for it back in the day. I mean, heck, the quality of this is so much better than my crusty fansubs, so I may as well! The only thing that peeves me is the little annoying Cartoon Network logo in the corner. Here it is, the new, higher quality "Open Road Song- Version 2: Goku and Piccolo Driving" music vid! (NOTE: To get it to download, you have to do a right-click 'save as').
Wednesday, 9/13/00 - A new wacky Fan Manga called "I Wanna Be Like Dad" by Chris Sanders has been put up. Yep, it's more of them crazy drawings of his!
- Last call for 'Say No To "No Trunks"' pictures to be sent!
Tuesday, 9/12/00 - Whew, school is sure taking a lot out of me. But don't worry, I haven't forgotten about you guys! Let's see what Mama Meri has today in her loverly bag o' tricks...
- First up, a bio for Cell and Raditz have been added to DBZ Marriage Prospects!
- A winner has been picked for Random DBZ Fill In The Blank Contest and a new sentence is now up.
- Everyone.......sexy shirtless Vegeta has arrived in the Cels section. =)
Saturday, 9/9/00 - For your viewing pleasure, I've made a new Image gallery called Trunks Video Game Pics. These are some screencaps taken from the Ultimate Battle 22 and Final Bout video games, so enjoy! This wouldn't be possible without the spiffay resources of DaizenshuuEX. Thanks for letting me borrow your Playstation to do this, EX!
- The next new section, which is also video game related, will be out later today. It's Media/Humor based, so be sure to check it out later on if you have the chance. ^_^
Friday, 9/8/00 - BWUAHA! VegettoEX, here! HUZZAH! I now own "Temple o' Trunks," bitches! OK, so I don't. Alright, so I don't even know the password to update. .... alright, so Meri's watching me do this right now... blah. I OWN THE SITE! I wish I could update with something. Umm.... too bad I don't have anything to update with. What do you guys and gals wanna see, huh? Hmm.... uhh... d'oh, I have nothing to say. I'm gonna run off with this site, now. Haha! .... [dies] *Meri butts in* Next on FOX: "Web Masters Live Near Each Other and Have Far Too Much Fun Messing With Each Other's Sites"!
- A bunch of cool Trunks Fanfics from new and old authors alike have been posted. There's a wide variety of writings today, so there should be something for everyone!
Thursday, 9/7/00 - In The Trunks Twilight Zone, two new images are now up.
- Added a few quotes to The Sexuality of Trunks.
- There are some new spiffay Trunks action figures coming out in the coming months! Dragon Ball Toys Island has some pics of two great looking, never released, Trunks toys. There's my personal fave, the SSJ Trunks energy blasting figure, and regular Trunks with sword (is it just me, or is there something odd looking about his hips/legs?). I can't wait for them to come out! I'm especially looking forward to get the Chi Chi and Raditz figures. They can be new Feature Film "cast members". =P
Wednesday, 9/6/00 - Sorry it took so long to make this update. Going back to college took a lot out of me. Anyway, you know how I said earlier that I was getting a Vegeta cel? Where there was a slight mix up, and I ended up with a animation sequence of Trunks cel drawings! Hot damn, that's just as good! (Don't worry, I still might get the Vegeta one, and I just ordered some more Trunks ones. I'm turning into a cel junkie!) To view these wickedly cute images, just check out Trunks Cels.
- Ah, the crazy things I'll do when I hear a random song on the radio that sparks an idea....well, here is a new music video for your enjoyment! I really kind of made this on a whim, but I liked how it turned out! It's a barrel of cuteness, I tells ya! It's called "He's So Shy!: THESE Are The Men of DBZ?" and it features some of the shyest guys in the series and their relationships with the characters of the female pursuasion. Kawaii!
- Everyone, take warning. I have ordered a Vegeta cel and it finally arrived in the mail. He's SHIRTLESS. I'll have a scan of it up later today. *drool*
- Today, the episode where Trunks kills Freeza airs on Cartoon Network. Oh, happy day! Guess what, I'll be in school when it happens! Wahhhh! God bless vcr's. As I'm sure many of you have heard, they kinda messed with the actual slicing of the big baddie. But hell, at least it's on tv!
- Guess what? I've totally lost my senses and decided to be a guest speaker/panelist at the first ever DBZ Otakon being held next summer in Red Bank, NJ! Wheee! Other DBZ web masters will be there, so you can attend this thing and talk to us and meet us in person (but why would you want to? ^_^)! If you're interested in going, or would like to learn more what it's about, just check out the site for the con. It'll be good, clean fun!
Monday, 9/4/00 - Hey, this is Meri and VegettoEX reporting LIVE from Meri's bangin' pad! Word foo'! Well, much to my dismay, EX isn't at all interested in putting some sexy and yummy Trunks pics up on the site with me. I guess he doesn't think he's a hunky sex machine. DIE YOU! *kills EX*. My friends, DaizenshuuEX will no longer be updating from this point on. *drags his cold body off into the river*. Bye bye for now!
- OK, time for something almost resembling a real update. It's a movie file of the new DBZ Intro For Toonami (with Trunks, #18, and all the other new peeps from Season 4).
- Well gang, Season 4- The Android/Cell Era (IMO, the best episodes in DBZ) begins today on Cartoon Network! Hope you're ready. ^_^ Trunks will be making his first appearance tomorrow, and really gets down to business on Wednesday. I'll have something cool on the ToT by then to commemorate this cool event. This is only something I've been waiting to see for 4 years now, so ya know, I gotta do something cool for it. Now, on with the updates!
- 20 GREAT images have been posed in Scans-Page 2. I highly recommend checking out the big-ass Trunks image I scanned. This batch is gooooood quality, yo. =)
- I've added 2 new products to Operators Are Standing By. One of these items will actually come out in stores soon!
- Later today, I'll be meeting with VegettoEX of DaizenshuuEX (he just moved to my college, so may as well!). We were supposed to hook up last night but uuh.....we kinda missed each other, even though we were standing like 20 feet apart from each other. ^_^ It was kinda funny. Well, here's hoping I come back in one piece.
- The response for "OPERATION: Say No To 'No Trunks'" has been great! Thanks go out to everyone who wants to get involved!
