 | Date: 2/16/10 Title: Dragon Ball Kai redubbed XDannyPooX@aol.com | |||
| For
those of you who don't know, Funimation is planning on releasing
Dragonball Kai (a cut, stripped down, and streamlined version of
Dragonball Z) here in America. One of my concerns is that some of the
characters will recieve new voice actors (again) for the English dubbed
verison thereby ruining whatever consistency the dubbed series had
remaining. However, I hope Funimation can prove me wrong. New cast members will be: Gohan – Colleen Clinkenbeard Bulma – Monica Rial Narrator – Doc Morgan Chiaotzu and Puar – Brina Palencia Funimation will begin releasing the series on DVD/Blueray, May 18, 2010 http://www.activeanime.com/html/content/view/6177/36/ | ||||
 | Date: 2/3/10 Title: Dragon Ball Z Widescreen Wallpapers added. XDannyPooX@aol.com | |||

widescreen wallpapers for your desktop to the site. Some of them are
pretty good, so I encourage you to go take a look. | ||||

It turns out that a few days ago two new Dragonball games were announced. The first is called Dragonball: Raging Blast and it will be released on the XBox 360 and Playstation 3. The release date is yet unknown. However as you can see below they are taking on a more tradtional cell-shaded look. A departure from what I believed to be the more stunning Dragonball: Burst Limit released last year:

I have "remastered" my original "Vegeta's Pride" music video that I released back in 1999. Nearly 10 years later I decided it was time to give a bit of an upgrade (using higher quality clips) to this popular music video. You can find it in the music video section in Realmedia format or watch it via Youtube.

There were rumors going around that the Dragonball movie might be cancelled and shelved. I avoided posting about it, simply because I needed more solid information. In retrospect I am glad I waited. It turns out that it is not being cancelled, in fact Fox is so excited about what the end movie is looking like that they are touting a sequel already. Also, sounds like we might be getting a trailer soon....Head on over to the Dragonball movie section to read more. |

| Over at dbthemovie.com, they translated an interview that Jump Magazine had with James Marsters who is playing Piccolo. In it he admits that the chraracter, Piccolo, floats (so expect battles with flying characters) and that the story line in the movie is a bit different than the original.

This year's 21st issue (released on April 21) of
Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine has announced that a "Jump Super
Anime Tour" will visit 10 Japanese This new special is an original story created by the man himself, Akira Toriyama! This may cause many to speculate that a new Dragonball series is on it's way. I would say this is incredibly doubtful, on occasion Akira Toriyama has been involved in various projects regarding Dragonball. Update: 7/8/08 - The title is: Dragon Ball: Heya!
Son Goku and Friends Return!! (Doragon Boru Ossu! Kaette kita Son Goku
to Nakama-tachi!!) |

For those of you who didn't notice, I opened up two new sections on this site. The first is called Saiyan Forms, in there you will find descriptions of every form of Super Saiyan and more, that the Saiyan race is able to attain. I also add a Power Levels section. Now, in general I have been opposed to such a section. Early in the Dragonball Z website days, power levels were scattered on every site and were ridiculously made up with little to no consistency. However, we live in a day where Dragonball websites are fewer and far between. So what I have done is attained the best documented Power Levels, as close to being official as I am able to get, for you to review and enjoy.

I have placed 15 old vhs tapes of Dragonball Z on ebay if anyone is interested, many of them were ones I used to create some of the music videos that are currently on my site(En Fuego etc). I have also placed a couple of dvd's that were duplicates in my collection. My reserve price is a low .99 cents for both auctions. I am selling these because I now have a dvd-only collection. |

The message board is updated to a newer version of PhpBB, thanks to Syaoranofthelight, admin. Also, off the subject of this site or DragonBall Z, I had an e-mail from someone asking me the simple question of "I would, however, like to know how you reconcile the notion of a "just and loving God" and eternal torment...". I decided to give my response of which I am posting on this site as an update. Why you ask? Because I love talking about Theology and Christianity. The following is the meat of my response e-mail to that question: Subject: Re: Challenge - Sat, 9 Jun 2007 9:31 am <<I hope you don't mind I'd like to add one extra question to the one you gave that I believe have their root in the same idea.The questions are: If there is a God, or at least a Good God, why is there so much evil in the world? and How can a 'just and loving God' send people to hell(eternal torment)? If there is a God, or at least a Good God, why is there so much evil in the world? For this question I will often try to give the example of a government system, whom, for whatever the reason. Has decided to remove a persons choice of what religion he can choose. So imagine a government system where everyone is Forced to be Hindu against their own will, they have no right to be Athiest, Christian, Mormon, Buddhist, etc. I then ask, is this evil? The general response is: Yes, because you are taking away the general freedom of the individual. The conclusion that I have come to, is that if God is indeed good, he would allow evil to exist, and allow his creation to choose it. If God were to give us no option in regard to good and evil, he would violate his own character and become evil himself. The next thought is, how is this represented in the bible. Starting right away in Genesis, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is placed in the garden, it is even pointed out to Adam and Eve by God himself. After creating the Garden, God calls it "good" even though this tree exists in the Garden, which according to Christian theology, causes so much pain by allowing sin to enter the world. God says that Adam and Eve may eat of any tree of the garden, except that single tree. However, he does not take away their control from choosing that tree. The option for sin/evil is now an option for every man. How can a 'just and loving God' send people to hell(eternal torment)? This is probably a better question than the previous one I gave. Many people can understand why evil exists, but struggle how a Good God can send people to hell for Eternity for sins that are temporal. Again, from our perspective, sins are temporal(temporary), and thus eternal punishment would be completely and totally unfair to punish eternally what is temporary. But, what if our sins are not temporal? To understand this we simply have to look at the nature of God. God is eternal and transcendent, or beyond the limits of time and space. Every sin that we commit is against an eternal and transcendent being. The result of our sins is that they become eternal and transcendent in nature, needing an equal punishment. My simple act of stealing, while from our perspective seems short and over with, ends up touching eternity. Ok, so now what? So what if our sins touch eternity, why can't he simply forgive them and move on. You mentioned that God would need to be "just". Imagine for a moment, that you stab an individual, steal their wallet and make a getaway. But you are arrested before getting 10 miles from the scene of the crime. Thirty days later you go before the District Judge to face your punishment. But instead of being punished the Judge says, "There will be no punishment for you, you may leave." Has justice been done? No, like the judge who must punish crimes committed against society to maintain justice, in order for God to be Just, he must punish the sins that touch the eternal God. So what does Christianity teach in regard to all this information? This is the purpose of Jesus Christ in Christianity. God who is eternal came in the flesh to take the eternal punishment that was meant for us for all who accept it (remember, no removing of choice in this matter). So imagine for another moment that while in that court-system, instead of being told "There will be no punishment for you", you are told by the judge "The punishment has already been given and paid in full, this individual may leave". Justice has then been served. >> If you read this far, I appreciate you looking at my response. I also hope you give it some thought, feel free to e-mail me on this subject as well. |

For the first time since 1999, this website now has an official Image Gallery once again. Currently only four galleries are available (Gohan, Brolly, Bulma, Buu, and Goku), You can check it out by click on the link on the left side of the page. Also after many years I removed the "Good Guys" and "Bad Guys" section. I am surprised I did not remove it sooner, the bios were sub-par and I could never find time to write new bios. I do not plan on re-adding those sections, unless there is some demand for it. But with all of Dragon Ball Z being available in America now, there is little need. |
