New DBZ OVA

Don't know if this is the right thread to post it, but the new DBZ OVA is now online and can be watched for free here (in Japanese, with English subtitles).

It wants you to install a program of theirs. As interested as I might be in the OVA, I'm not touching that one. I'll look for a better alternative.

Yeah. U need to install their small browser program. Just a simple program and then u can watch the eps.

Anyways. The opening sequence is kinda weird...as is the theme song. But it's good to see all the familiar characters again....and cute that Trunks is riding on Vegeta's back as he flies in the opening sequence.

After watching this ep.... Wha?! Vegeta
Spoiler:
has a brother who's as nice as Goku?! WTF?!

You have to install a browser, which takes like a minute and you can just uninstall afterwards. That being said, the OVA isn't really worth getting excited about, though it's a nice bit of nostalgia.

I've downloaded the browser and the file from different locations and connections, and the footage starts stuttering before it's even twelve seconds in.

I assume you realise you have to let it buffer for a minute or two first.

Just watched it. I thought it was...alright. It was fun for me until they basically handed the whole thing over to Goten and Trunks. After so long, I think most of us were expecting to see some classic Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Gohan, etc. action. Hope they make a few more in the future though, because the animation looked nice and I would love to see some real classic dbz brought back.

Like Replicant, it refuses to do so for me.

I got it to work last night after rebooting, although it still did chug at a couple of points.

The most surprising thing about the whole thing to me wasn't any of the following:

Spoiler:
Vegeta having a brother who is more or less week, Vegeta's brother having a wife that's a short gray alien, or that the villains are former Freeza henchmen that were at the same level of the Ginyu Tokusentai and are now stronger than Freeza, or that they can fuse, or even that the secondary characters actually got some screentime...


it was...

Spoiler:
the fact that someone remembered Lunch and cared enough to have her in a couple of background shots!

Yeah...I noticed alot of characters in the banquet scene that had never interacted with Mr. Satan. Even King Kai, Gregory and Bubbles were there!

Yeah, I noticed that. But it was just a reason to see them again. You only seen Tien in the opening though, which is kind of disappointing.
