My thoughts on Dragon Ball Z Kai
Ok so Dragon Ball Z Kai aired in America on Monday so let me just give you my impression on the dub, and Kai itself since I hadn't even watched it until it premiered on Monday. I don't mean I haven't seen Dragon Ball Z because I grew up watching DBZ and original Dragon Ball, I just haven't seen Kai before. So like the first thing I noticed was that the intro was in English, which certainly isn't a bad thing, in fact I like it having an English lyric version since... I don't know it feels more like the original Dragon Ball, but right after I heard the intro for a few seconds I thought... "wait... is that Vic Mignogna singing?" and I don't even know if it was I mean I could be wrong, but if it is... then the intro just got like 10 times cooler. Anyway, I think a few people MIGHT have gotten voice actor changes but I'm not totally sure if those characters showed in the first two episodes, however I think that since Christopher Sabat played like half the cast of DBZ most characters getting new voice actors are those who were played by him, but it's ok because I mean he is still playing Piccolo, but I don't know if he is gonna still play Yamcha, Shenron, Kami, Zarbon, Burter, Recoome, or Mr. Popo. Anyway, I thought it was really good and I can't exactly compare it to the original since it has been AGES since I saw the original. However, I can say that those old fashioned "parodied to much super dramatic reaction shots while the really shiny background is constantly moving" things really brought back memories as I had practically forgot that they really were used, and used like that in older anime. Anyway I am writing this post before the other two new episodes air on Tuesday so I have yet to see those... so I guess... oh wait, I almost forgot, a lot of people might bitch about this, but honestly I don't mind that much I actually found it kinda funny, there is a scene in the first episode where Master Roshi is drinking beer, but in this version, he was drinking milk, I totally thought they were just gonna make it orange juice or water, but milk was just funny. There was an edit that kinda bugged me though, they took out Bardock's scar... which is kinda weird... you know since Avatar was RIGHT after Kai and Zuko (a character from Avatar for those who don't know) has a huge freakin burn mark on his face, but whatever I'm just glad Kai is on TV so I'm gonna be grateful and not bitch about every little edit. Well, sorry if this post was kinda short, thankfully I have an idea or two for future posts, and after tomorrow I will be able to read weekly jump chapters again so yeah, like I said sorry if this was kinda short.

DBZ Raging Blast!!!
Well since I had Wednesday off I spent most of the day playing DBZ Raging Blast, the best game to come out on the date of November 10th... just kidding Modern Warfare fans I'm just not much of an FPS gamer. Anyway I quickly got used to the controls but I just wish that you didn't activate the specials with the right analog stick since it seems that I have to flick it twice or sometimes 5 times to just use a special and you have no idea how many times I used Kaioken instead of Kamehameha and that made me lose so many times. But besides that the graphics look just like the anime, infact they look so much like the anime it confuses me why Namco Bandai, the same company that made Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm couldn't make Storm look like Raging Blast... Also the inclusion of SSJ3 Broly and SSJ3 Vegita is pretty cool even though I haven't played as them yet. Instead of Tenkaichi 3's story mode where there is like 3 or 4 missions per saga but there are like several battles built into each of them there is one mission per battle in each saga but I take that as a good thing because it means more fun loading screens. Oh and the loading screen is brilliant, you collect little capsules and you eventually use them for something, I think to buy custimization stuff, but I'm not sure, and since you are collecting stuff you are completely focused on getting more capsules and so you sort of want the loading screen to be longer, it does a great job of keeping you intertained while it loads. Hmmm... what else is there to talk about... Oh, the stages look awesome and the fighting is nice and fast like any other good DBZ game... and uhh... I guess that's it...
Well remember I post every other day, oh and DBZ fans I highly recomend this game, it may not have the roster of Tenkaichi 3 but it is still awesome.

Top 5 Anime Fighting Game Rosters
Ahhh anime fighting games, I love them, especially when they have enough characters to make the roster over the average fighting game. So this list will be games I have (well there is one of them that I am getting soon) with awesome rosters. Just a note, these totals count second forms of characters.
5. Naruto Clash of Ninja Revolution 2
Total: 34
Well the reason this game made it on the list is because it has a pretty big roster, I'm pretty sure Gekitou Ninja Taisen 4 had a little less so it would number 6 on the list. This game wasn't that good, it had a confusing character select screen and the character selection screen music was terrible, but it had alot of characters... oh and something I figured out... select Awakened Hinata and then look at the name above the life bar... if you have the game and hadn't noticed you will just think that Tomy is even lazier than ever.
4. One Piece Unlimited Cruise 2
Total: 48
Ok so I don't have this game yet but in October I will import the European version so it's not like I don't plan on getting it. The game has plenty of One Piece heroes and (even more) villains to choose from. If this game is anything like Unlimited Adventure then I know it is awesome and very hard. Hmmm what else is there to say? Well the characters range from the begining with characters like Buggy and Smoker to even Thriller Bark with Brook, Oz, and Gecko Moria. Uhhh... I guess that's it.
3. Naruto Accel 2
Total: 73
Oh man Accel 2 (aka Naruto Ultimate Ninja 6) I love this game and all of the other games in the series. I think it's awesome that in this game I can have future Sasuke vs Zabuza in a naruto game, I just hope that they keep all of the characters from Accel 2 in Accel 3 so I can fight Zabuza as Suigetsu. Anyway with all of the characters in this game you can only imagine that starting out with like 20 means you have to earn these characters and it is not easy. Well to unlock every character you have to beat all of story mode, then beat all of the clone ninjas, then do almost all of the side missions of every variety, then you unlock a side mission that you have to go back to Orochimaru's hideout, then come back, then do like a few more side missions to unlock a mission as Sasuke that you have to go through this 30 room dungeon/maze thing, you also have to technically grind to level up your shuriken throwing and Chidori to pass through some of the floors while not dieing then get to the end of the maze and fight the boss, now do like one or two more side missions and then do the maze AGAIN with Naruto but this time you have to level up your Rasengan instead of Chidori. Congrats now you can start to unlock the other characters, yes all of that stuff about side missions was just to be able to do the thing to get the rest of the characters. Now that you did all of that you can fight like 5 more clone battles, beat the clones of the characters you don't have (I think it's just pre time skip Sasuke) and once you beat all of the other clones you go to the Hokage building onto the roof and you can finally fight the 4th Hokage, then you have all of the characters. Yea wow.
2. Bleach Heat the Soul 6
Total: 74
Wow Heat the Soul 6 beat Accel 2 by 1 character, good thing Halibel was in the game. Ok let me say right now, it is H-A-R-D to unlock characters in this game, not like Accel 2 that it will take you forever, it's just that you have to get like A ranks on certain missions, luckily you don't actually have to get an S rank on any mission to unlock every character (staring at Zatch Bell Mamodo Fury while typing). When you beat every scenario it is totally worth it to just stare at that beautiful roster, especially since it has Halibel and Dark Rukia in it, OH YEAH MOVIE CHARACTERS FTW!!! Ahem... back on topic, this game is great and if you have previous Heat the Soul data on your memory card then you get a few extra characters.
1. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3
Total: OVER 150!!!!!!! yeah I just did that...
Well what else is there to say, it's awesome... it may take forever to get each character but hey, it's totally worth it because vs mode is fun with 150 characters. I really don't know what to say except that this game is great especially for all of those DBZ fans out there.
