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.

Meri and Mike Meet
Eric Johnson and Sonny Strait
On Saturday, May 26, 2001, Meri of ToT and Mike of Daizenshuu EX embarked on a mystical journey to the
City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia. The mission: to meet and chill with voice
actors Eric Johnson (Trunks) and Sonny Strait (Krillin). It was a day neither Mike
nor Meri would forget for a long time. To check out their wacky antics, and to view
movie clips, pictures, and fun recollections, go to the seperate page I made dedicated to
the trip!

Trunks' New
English Voice Used in the Holland DBZ Dub
Holland is getting their own
version of a DBZ English dub, voiced by the Ocean Group (they did seasons 1 &2 of DBZ
in North America). Here for your listening (dis)pleasure is a sample of Trunks'
voice in the Holland dub. Oh god, save us all.

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!
