I mean, does that matter, they were already more advanced than us once we saw West City and the flying cars.

But this is plain old Z I'm talking about. Not Super.

In the Cell Saga, everyone piled Goku onto a transport ship and took him the the Kame House while he was recovering from his heart attack. While they were on route, Bulma called them and filled them in on the second time machine...or maybe they called her, but I'm pretty sure it was the latter.

In the Buu Saga, while Super Saiyan 3 Goku was fighting Buu, and Trunks was at the house looking for the Dragon Radar, Bulma remembered where she'd actually kept it, and Krillin was about to fly out to tell him, when Videl said they could just use her mobile phone to call their house.

This isn't really a Super thing. Though even if it was, I'd expect that Bulma or her family could have created a Cell phone by that time.

Edit: And I just realized there's a whole other conversation going on, because I missed the other posts, and didn't realize that Saiga wasn't talking to me.

Never mind.

....P.S. Handsome Rob Is awesome.

[up][up][up] It matters because it shows how easy it is for characters to fall out of contact, which is what happened.

As for the thing about "what attracted people to the series in the first place", for me it was "Shooting lasers from your hands is fun."

Dragon Ball for me as a kid was mostly a power fantasy. I barely knew what was going on, since it was difficult for me to actually catch half of the episodes, but I did know that the characters were cool and really powerful. It was enough for kid-me to become a fan, and for adult-me to buy the occasional videogame and have a laugh at Abridged.

But whenever I try to watch the actual series, I mostly end up switching off because I just couldn't bear it.Toriyama's Writing by the Seat of Your Pants style just doesn't go very well with me.

I never actively watched the series, nor really cared too. Abridged has been my only consistent exposure and, I think I said this before, that's how it is with a lot of anime for me.

They really should have uploaded the full thing. I understand time contraints, but they hinted at it and seemed to have planned on it for too long at this point.

Yeah, I don't want to come across as entitled or anything, but one of them should at least be bringing something up about the progress of Broly.

One of the comments they left on their Facebook was that they uploaded part one mostly to give the fans something since they were still working on it. I'm gonna guess it'll be uploaded in a day or two.

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?

The only person who said that it would be out by New Year was Masako, you know, the guy who does voice acting for the series and nothing else for the most part. He's not exactly a reliable source for when something is coming out. Also, can we get a link to where he said that?
