Naruto
I've lost respect for the anime years ago. The only good manga to anime conversion is if the manga is already finished. I still wonder why you still watch the anime knowing that it will only depress you.

Captain America: The First Avenger
Wait, so Cap was the last roster (movie) for the Avengers? I always thought that they would deliver the original team which also consists of Ant-man and Wasp. I've even heard some rumors about an Ant-man movie. So they're switching Pym off to Barton?

Naruto
No, it was actually the other way around. People detested him, yet he bears no malice among them. Now, Konoha see's Naruto as their hero and last hope. Chances of him becoming the Hokage has now increased significantly.

What I do find funny about the arc is the "World's Strongest Candy".

I hate super buu. But I do find Majin buu kinda cute. Funny at times even.

I don't think the "Z" means anything. Z was only applied to the anime to differentiate it from the kid goku and the adult goku. The manga, all throughout the entire run, was only called Dragon Ball. A little search from the Japanese wiki mentions that Toriyama himself named the series [Z] because he wanted Dragon Ball to end early by using the last letter of the alphabet", and later, in the pin up poster in Jump comics, [Z] was explained as the "ultimate" or "strongest". The "Z Warriors" was only used when a game was produced.

It's no use Eether, we've tried. Countless times actually. Ryuki just won't respond to wacky pirates.

Captain America: The First Avenger
OMG!!! I loved it. No matter what you say about the movie, I definitely love it. You know the trailer where he covers the grenade? My heart actually skipped a beat when I saw it in the theaters. I was holding my breath and was actually about to cry! True Story. Few movies have ever moved me emotionally. I didn't even cry in Bambi. But that one single scene brought a tear to my eyes. Tommy Lee Jones, I find his humor to be very hilarious. I'm going to watch it again!

Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon
I know for sure that those majority of us who grew up with the 80's cartoon dislike that bayformers, while most of the kids nowadays (which outnumbers us by the way) definitely loved it.

Naruto
You know what's cool about Naruto? It's not just the cool ninjutsu or techniques, or even the skills that they do. It's actually the interactive drama they each individual presents. Naruto and his parents. Sasuke and his brother. Now Gaara and his father. They all initially present their relationship as adverse, but only to find out later that their feelings go deeper than what is being actually shown.

Perhaps you are the victim of the phrase "Opposites attract". So a nice guy like you will always go for the bitchy women. Bitchy women are devious I tell you. They can go all lovey-dovey to you till you melt in their arms and them, BAM! bitchslapped!

Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon
I still prefer the drama involving the Transformers. The first transformers movie (the animated one in the 80's, mind you) left me in awe because of the emotions that they showed. I think this was the movie that defined Optimus Prime as an Icon. Coming out of the shuttle, slowly transforming and ramming a bunch of decepticons then flying in the air precisely shooting another set of decepticons. That scene itself was already a grand moment in the transformers universe. Tell me the match between Optimus and Megatron then wasn't epic!

Why is it that you keep on attracting the wrong kind of girl? Must be the royalty thing.

Captain America: The First Avenger
Found this wonderful trailer featuring the shield fighting scenes from the movie. I gotta say, I love the way he swings his shield around. Exquisitely wonderful.

Spider-Man Reboot
Correction, before all that House of M mess, Spiderman was never a full fledge Avenger. He was only a reserved avenger and never officially joined the team. And based on the direction Marvel has on the avengers movie, which features the original 1963 roster of Avenger, Spiderman is definitely NOT part of it.

Captain America: The First Avenger
It would be best if you forget the movie you once saw. None of the earlier movies managed to do Justice to Captain America. Even the last movie back in 1990 that stared Matt Salinger, which I think was best among all the others, is still far from the Cap that I know. With regards to Cap's fighting style, he can be considered as one of the best hand to hand combat experts in the Marvel Universe, even matching that of Wolverine. It would be cool if Logan had a cameo in this, but it's highly doubtful seeing that Marvel still doesn't have the rights to the X-men movie.

Spider-Man Reboot
I'm afraid not, since sony still holds the rights for the Spiderman franchise. I think it would be a few more years before the rights revert back to Marvel, where that is the only time that they can attach Spiderman to the marvel cinematic universe.

Captain America: The First Avenger
It most certainly will do. Even the trailer which shows Steve Rogers prior to his transformation, it already made me feel good. The scene with the trash bin lid and the thrown Grenade, its inspiring. Just watching the trailer already gives me goosebumps. I can't imagine how I will feel when I actually see the movie. I'll probably go screaming like a crazy fan girl. I'm even thinking of taking time off work just to see this on the first day! (Obviously I'm obsessed)

Godzilla
I don't have much experience with the whole Godzilla franchise but I did managed to see some of the classics which features Biolanate, Mecha Godzilla and Mothra. Comparing it to the US version, film quality wise, the US version has the upper hand in terms of cinematography. But I just can't help think that the American version of Godzilla was just a glorified dinosaur.

Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon
Just saw this movie last Saturday. Well, I didn't hate it, that's for sure. Optimus' trailer was cool by the way. And yes, way too much human drama. Also, not sure if it was just me, but I noticed something about the speech patterns of Optimus. Every time he speaks, it's like he is narrating. His voice sounds so grand that I feel that when he speaks, your focus shifts to his words and not on what is happening. I also get the feeling that you can quote all his lines in the movie. You know what I'm saying?

Music Video Thread
Here's one I found in youtube by chance. Not sure about the song, but I liked the video.

I would like the scans of the Sentai Mechs, but I'm not going to be able to do anything about them at the moment, since I haven't started working on the Sentai Wiki pages yet. I think I can incorporate the articles about the Kamen Riders into the wiki, like interviews and the sorts. I'm actually thinking about how to make the wiki pages look like your browsing a magazine. I got this idea from an iPad facebook app that automatically arranges your wall posts and styles them like your reading a magazine.

I really can't say at the moment because what caught my eye was the sentai robo book. They have lot's of many shiny stuff. . For the newtype, I think it's your call, didn't really see much of the contents so I really can't say what to scan. And of course I do understand your concern for the welfare of the books. I myself am hesitant in scanning some of my Japanese manga. But if it's only the information we want, I guess a clear hires photo of the section would do nicely. But for the nice images, I'm afraid I have no sense of artistry to determine what photos would look nice. I'll have to rely on you for that.

Hmm... they do seem to be broken. I think any form of help would be very beneficial. Especially now that I find out that those links I provided are down. This is actually a big find, since I think those books of yours might contain detailed information on specific merchandise. I especially liked the Sentai book that compiles all the mechs of all sentais. I have to admit, the sentai series is a daunting task that I'm not sure I'm prepared to start it any time soon. Though I do hope we'll eventually get there. For the moment, I think it would be great if you could scan a couple or more relevant pages so we can add it to the wiki.
