SSJ Goku3985's DRAGON BALL Z Info Site!!! (Old News)
OLD NEWS
4/19/00: 2000. I've finally hit 2000! I hit 1000 on about 2/16, so it took about 2 months to get another thousand. If you looked at the counter, you've probably noticed that I got A LOT of hits since last week! I hit 2000 about a week ago after I updated, now I'm up to 2363! Burger King will have DBZ toys in their Big Kids Meals tarting on May 29 to June 28! It's amazing that DBZ has gone far enough to be promoted in a large corporation like Burger King. Let's just hope that a toddler doesn't choke on one of the toys! I cut down the file size of two buttons, so this page loads a little faster. Tape covers and release dates of 4 new tapes being released by FUNimation are up in my Tapes section! These tapes start the Android Saga and the covers don't look bad. I added a bit to anonymous edits in my What's Been Edited section. Some minor edits that took place on Saturday are there. I added my background in my Guestbook, so just take a look and sign if you have the time. If you didn't get an e-mail from me to go here, then you're not on my DBZ mailing list. If you'd like to be on the list, please send me an e-mail. My Poll is doing well. If you haven't voted yet, please do because this will be the last week for that question. I completed a fan-art I've been working on. It's a picture of Cell and it's up in Fandemonium. I'm still working on a fan-fic which I'll finish in a few weeks, hopefully. Last week DBZ was at number 2 on the Lycos 50, this week...
1) Pokemon
2) Dragon Ball Z
3) The IRS
4) Britney Spears
5) Taxes
Again at number 2! Everyone, please do me and yourself a favor by going to lycos.com to search for DBZ, so that next week it'll be at number 1! I guess that's all for now, later.
4/12/00: The Garlic Junior series continues Saturday mornings on the Rising Sun Toonami Block. 9-10 AM Thundercats, 10 AM DBZ, 10:30-11:30 AM Gundam, and at 11:30 AM Ronin Warriors. Not much was edited from the first episode of the Garlic Junior saga on Saturday. Except, there was a scene taken out when Master Roshi told Marron that he needed to approve of Krillin's relationship with her, by Marron giving Master Roshi a kiss. This week's quote comes from Mr. Popo on Saturday. I wasn't too surprised to hear the word "kill" by Garlic Junior, Cartoon Network is being more flexible with some violent dialogue. What concerns me is how CN will handle this Saturday's episode. The unedited version has Marron in a somewhat revealing bikini thoughout the whole episode! So have your VCRs ready for Saturday! On Monday morning, I changed the channel to the WB to hear the "Rock n' Dragon" theme, but what did I see, THE COSBY SHOW! This is horrible! I was mad when the WB replaced Sailor Moon for Full House, but now DBZ for The Cosby Show?! I updated my intro and FAQ section because of the WB. Two new fan-art drawings are up in FANDEMONIUM. I'm still working on a fan-fic and a drawing. The theme from Final Fantasy 6 makes it's first appearance here. I needed some mellow music for this site. The Lycos 50 for the week...
1) Pokemon
2) DRAGON BALL Z
3) Britney Spears
4) WWF
5) IRS
Again, DBZ at number 2! Small update, but vacation starts Saturday so be ready for a big update next week! Till next time!
4/5/00: APRIL FOOLS! You ALL fell for it. All of you thought that I gave up. Like Piccolo said to Gohan, "We can't just give up cause things aren't the way we want them to be." I've had that planned since January and just couldn't wait. I know that April 1st was on Saturday, so I did it the Wednesday before. Hahaha! It was just a joke, I hope that I didn't give some of your hopes up. I am a very long way from calling it quits. So, welcome back to my Dragon Ball Z Info Site! This update is pretty big. See my new banner? DBZ WON SERIES OF THE YEAR at eToys! It's amazing that it beat Pokemon! Thanks to all the people who voted for DBZ as series of the year. If you didn't see the commercial on CN already, the GARLIC JUNIOR saga will start to air at 10 AM EST on Saturday, April 8th! An episode will air every Saturday morning, until the last episode of the saga (the last episode of the Garlic Junior saga is also the last episode of FUNimation's season three), for eight weeks. But, it's not over yet. The whole day will be filled with Toonami shows and DBZ will be shown in 90 minute blocks. The time schedule for DBZ are as follows: 10 AM the first episode of the Garlic Junior Saga, 5 PM a 90 minute block, 8 PM 90 mins, 11 PM 90 mins, and 1 AM 90 mins. I don't know how many episodes of Garlic Junior they will show at 10 AM and which DBZ episodes will air throughout the day. Since it's definite that I know when Garlic Junior will air, I corrected a question in my FAQ section and the Mandy Moore question. So have your VCRs ready for Saturday! Speaking of Garlic Junior, I have episode summaries for the tapes "Garlic Jr. Sacred Water" and "Garlic Jr. Vanquished" in my TAPES section! I changed the music again to "Cha-La-Head-Cha-La." I know how you all liked the Trunks theme, but I have to alternate my music. Big updates in my Fandemonium section! More fan-art was submitted by my brother and friend. The first fan-fic is up thanks to SerenaUT5@aol.com! She wrote a story called "How It All Began" and I gotta say that it was great. I highly recommend that you read it. I am currently working on a story of my own, so be sure to check back here to see it. I scanned up a new Frieza picture and put it in my Frieza bio, go to my Biographies section to see it. Since I was pulling off my April fools joke last week, I didn't get to tell you the Lycos 50. DBZ was at number 2 last week, beating Britney Spears and 'N Sync! And the Lycos 50 for this week...
1) Pokemon
2) DBZ
3) Britney Spears
4) 'N Sync
5) WWF
The top five all held there spots! Well, that's all for this week. Don't expect me to be pulling off anymore jokes, until next year! It's great to be back, even though I didn't go! See ya next week!
3/22/00: Welcome to my ULTRA UPDATE! This is without a shadow of a doubt, the biggest update my website has ever seen! So what did I get done this time. A whole lot. As you can see, I made my own banner. The file size of my other banner was too large and took too long to load. My new banner takes less time to load because the file size is lesser. As you can hear, I changed the music. This is the first time I'm using Trunks' theme. I said a month ago that I wanted to start a new section based on fan-art and fan-fiction. I still don't believe that I have enough material, but I put it up anyway. The new section is called Fandemonium. Please send me some material if you have any! Lately, I've been asked a lot of questions concerning DBZ and my site, so I started another section. My Frequently Asked Questions covers most of the questions you've asked and important things that you need to know. I added more to the Cell VS Gohan Fight, so make sure to check that out. A new survey is up. The new question is: Which is your favorite attack? Go to my Poll Section to make your voice heard. My previous poll's question was: Which DBZ movie dubbed my FUNimation is your favorite? The results were very close with my favorite, "The World's Strongest" in first place with 38% of your votes. Next, was "Tree of Might" with 35% and finally "Deadzone" with 27%. On Monday, I saw a commercial on CN that advertised DBZ action figures! It played the "Rock n' Dragon" theme song and showed a few clips of SSJ Goku. Having a commercial like that helps to advertise the show, which is very good. The polls at eToys closed yesterday. On the 25th, make sure to go to eToys.com to see if DBZ won "Series of the Year!" Finally I added another biography! I haven't added any bios since December, so I thought it was about time to make a Frieza bio. I think that my Frieza bio is the best bio I've written! Go to my Biographies Section to read it. Goku makes his first appearance for the quotes of the week. What he said was really corny. Telemundo is on the exact same episode as what's airing on Cartoon Network. Almost done, the Lycos 50 for the week...
1) Pokemon
2) March Madness
3) DBZ
4) Britney Spears
5) St. Patrick's Day
Another little phase that pushes DBZ back a spot. It's been the greatest update yet! Stay tuned for next week!
3/15/00: This week's update is that next week's update will be my biggest update ever! From bios, to edits, to polls, you can expect to see almost every section updated and 2 new sections added! So make sure that you keep yourself updated and informed with this site and DBZ, before my ULTRA UPDATE! The Lycos 50 for this week...
1) Pokemon
2) Mardi Gras
3) Dragon Ball Z
4) Britney Spears
5) WWF
Like I said a couple weeks ago, DBZ is moved back because of these little events that only last a day. Next week, ULTRA UPDATE, see you then!
3/8/00: Dragon Ball Z popularity increasing here in America! DBZ is nominated in eToy's Second Annual Video Awards! DBZ is nominated as "series of the year" along with Baby Einstein, Bear in the Big Blue House, Winnie the Pooh, Little Bear, and the oh so loved Pokemon. The polls close on March 21, and the series of the year will be announced on March 25. Please go here and vote for DRAGON BALL Z!. It's amazing that DBZ is nominated for series of the year. DBZ is way out of league of those toddler shows and especially Pokemon. An article about DBZ was in TV Guide! It talked about DBZ's increasing popularity in America and that it may be the next Pokemon. For DBZ to even compared to Pokemon that way is very good. As for my site news, I added more to the Cell VS Gohan fight in my Fights Section. There seems to be a little conflict happening in my guestbook. Please, do not submit messages insulting other people. I need more fan-fiction and fan-art to start my new section. So please send me anything you have and I'll give you the credit. Not many people have voted for my own Poll yet, so please submit your vote. I have to say that I was impressed of Gundam Wing. It was dubbed very well, the voices were good and they kept the original Japanese music, something FUNimation should do! The Lycos 50 for this week...
1) Pokemon
2) DRAGON BALL Z
3) Britney Spears
4) Jennifer Lopez
5) WWF
Amazing! Simply amazing! DBZ hasn't reached number 2 since November! My birthday is tomorrow! E-mail me if you wish, to wish me a happy one. Till next week!
3/1/00: I finally have my own banner here at my site! It looks a lot better than what I had before. I'd like to thank SgT SpOrK@aol.com for hooking me up with the font for my banner. I also added his site to my links section and if you have the time I recommend a visit. The music has changed again. I have pics, info, and brief summaries of the two new tapes being released by FUNimation on May 15! Go to the Tapes section to see them. On a new commercial on Catoon Network, it said that DBZ is the highest rated show on their channel! Cartoon Network will get to the Garlic Junior Saga soon, but won't air Trunks until the fall. We can expect new DBZ episodes to be dubbed at a fair pace because FUNimation says that they will dub Dragon Ball GT after they finish DBZ. I want to start a new section, but I need your support! My newest section will have fan-fiction and fan-art submitted by you. If you made up any stories or drew anything related to DBZ, just send it to me at SSJGoku3985@aol.com . When I decide that I have enough content, I'll open up my new section! The Lycos 50 for this week...
1) Pokemon
2) Britney Spears
3) Grammy Awards
4) Jennifer Lopez
5) DRAGON BALL
It's these little phases that move DBZ back a spot! Everyone please go to lycos.com and search for anything related to Dragon Ball Z and I'm sure we'll hit #1! Till next time!
2/23/00: 15 days until my birthday. As I promised, I did get a lot done for this update! Since only 17 people voted for my survey, I changed the question. This month's question is inspired by Cartoon Network's DBZ movie marathon shown on Monday: Which is your favorite DBZ movie dubbed by FUNimation? Go to my poll section to vote. Vegeta won the last poll, with the question being who would win in a fight between Vegeta and Piccolo. Remember that you can only use Internet Explorer 4.0 and higher. As you can hear, I changed the music again. I added a little more to the Cell VS Gohan fight and to anonymous edits. I was surprised to see that Telemundo showed the first episode of the Garlic Junior Saga today! I thought that they would only show what was aired on CN. So you people who have off this week can watch it. Gohan makes his first appearance for the quote of the week. What he said was pretty funny and dumb. Finally and I mean finally Lycos has mentioned something about DBZ! The media never talks about DBZ and I was surprised to see that at the Lycos 50, there was an article on DBZ. Here it is...
The Mystery of Dragonball Z
After six months we're still stunned by the popularity and the obscurity of Dragonball.
Here's a show rarely mentioned on TV or in newspapers, yet for six months it's been one of the Web's hottest topics. This week it stands at #4 on the Lycos 50.
What exactly is Dragonball? It's an anime (cartoon) series from Japan, one which actually first ran there in 1984. The original series, Dragonball, was followed by sequels Dragonball Z and Dragonball GT. ("Z" seems to be the A-1 favorite with most fans.) Overall, a staggering 500+ episodes of the series were produced.
The dragonballs of the title are 7 orbs which, if collected together, spawn a dragon which will grant one wish. Everything else is too complicated to explain in under 5000 words. The animation is of the bulging-bicep school with a bushel of pointy hair tufts thrown in.
Why is Dragonball Z so hot online? Certainly the target audience is right: youngsters may or may not be the heart of the Internet, but they do tend to drive the very hottest search terms. Dragonball has plenty of bone-rattling fights and cosmic energy bursts, and the story is deeply arcane in a web-friendly way: there are complicated legends, a huge cast of characters (also complicated -- dig this bio of Dej Vegeta), and a backstory going back 100 million years to be dissected, discussed, and catalogued.
Like its Japanimation cousins Sailor Moon and Pokemon, Dragonball is a cartoon, a comic, a video game, an action figure... it's hard to tell where one medium stops and another begins. These kinds of cross-platform hits do exceedingly well online.
The Cartoon Network has been showing Dragonball Z in the USA, which has helped the current craze along. The US episodes have been sanitized, with violence, spicy language and occasional nakedness removed from the freewheeling Japanese originals. This rubs fans the wrong way (and has even been a topic on our Lycos 50 message boards.)
So why don't we hear more about Dragonball offline? Perhaps it's too complicated; it's sure harder to follow than Coyote vs. Roadrunner. Or not cute enough? Or is it the violence? (Though that never stopped the Roadrunner.) In any case, if Dragonball's online popularity continues you've got to think it will cross over to become an offline mainstream hit sometime soon.
The article does point out very good points. It's not mentioned in the media, newspapers, or TV, but it's very popular on the internet. They are aware that DBZ is edited and fans don't like that. I give Lycos credit for coming out of the darkness from DBZ, the 50 for this week...
1) Pokemon
2) Valentine's Day
3) Britney Spears
4) DRAGON BALL Z
5) World Wrestling Federation
That's pretty much it for this update. Remember to vote. Till next time!
2/16/00: 1000. I've finally hit 1000! Cheers to my 1000th hit and many more to come. Well it seems that my big update streak has come to an end. On Friday night, my computer contracted a virus. The darn thing stole my password and sent the virus to my buddies through e-mail. It messed up my computer, froze it a lot, and messed with AOL. I must have spent over 12 hours in front of my computer over the weekend, leaving no time to work on my site. Although, I did manage to get some work done. I changed the address of my site. My other address was too complex. Remember to update your bookmarks or favorites. The new video is out "Sacred Water," so remember to pick that up. The 3 movies that FUNimation dubbed will be playing on Monday from 4-7 EST on CN. Also another animae, Gundam, will take place of Reboot on March 6th. The Lycos 50 for this week...
1) Pokemon
2) Valentine's Day
3) Britney Spears
4) DBZ
5) IRS
Sorry for the short update. I have off all next week, so I'll definitely get something done! Till next Wednesday!
2/9/00: When will it end? Another BIG update! First of all, I'm expecting to hit 1000 really soon! It takes around two months and a half to get 1000 hits and that's not too bad. In exactly one month will be my birthday! So, all you nice people can send me presents. I changed the name of my site and a little of the intro. I used to call it a web page, but it's not a page, it's many pages, so it's a site. There were so many phrases that I could have put as the quote of the week, but every time I hear the narrator say that, I laugh! The runner up for this weeks quote could be what Vegeta said, "Kakarote's son, the little Super Saiyan, you should know better than to oppose Vegeta!" As you can hear I've changed the music. This is my favorite song of all the music I have here at my site. Oh my! A new section again?! Finally, I have a GUESTBOOK up here! Many people have asked for me to get a guestbook and I finally did! So, please leave a message in my guestbook. I typed over 2000 words this weekend, because I worked on the Cell VS Gohan fight. What just happened in the fight is awesome, so please check it out if you already started reading it. Sources have been telling me that DBZ comics are being banned from Toys R' Us. Apparently it showed some brief nudity? Good! I don't know why they have manga in their toy store because DBZ is not for kids! Scroll all the way down to the bottom of this page and you'll see that there is an AOL sux box. I put it there because it is true. AOL is bad at some points. I have very important information concerning Funimation and new DBZ episodes on Cartoon Network...
1.) When will the new episodes begin on Cartoon Network?
FUNimation Productions Inc. supplies Cartoon Network with new episodes but Cartoon Network determines when the episodes air. Cartoon Network has told us that in one to five months they will air the 10 episodes of the Garlic Jr. series. Starting in the Fall 2000 they will begin airing Trunks.
2.) When will Season 4 Videos be released?
FUNimation is currently releasing on Home Video a 3 volume set of Garlic Jr. Following the Garlic Jr. Saga look for “Trunks, Mysterious Youth” & “Trunks, Prelude To Terror” due out in May. The videos will be available at the FUNimation DBZ Online Store or at Musicland, Suncoast, Walmart, Toys R Us, Camelot, Transworld, BlockBusters, Electronic Boutique, Hollywood Records and other fine stores.
Thanks to my bro who got that information straight from FUNimation. The Lycos 50 for this week...
1) Pokemon
2) Britney Spears
3) DBZ
4) IRS
5) Valentine's Day
DBZ is beating the IRS? What kind of a world do we live in? Good, the IRS sucks anyway. Look for my counter to hit 1000 soon! Till next time!
2/2/00: Another huge update! This is my third big update in a row. What did I get done this time? Just look around and listen! I changed the music, again. It has nothing to do with DBZ, but oh well it's still a cool song. My "weekly" poll, so far only 4 people have took it! That's terrible! My friend and I voted for Vegeta, and 2 people who I don't know voted! Again, if feels as if I'm talking to a wall. I'm going to give this site a few more tries, if in a couple months, I get the same lousy results, then I'll have to... ANYWAY, speaking of my site, I really hate to do this, but to get better ratings I had to add a NEW SECTION! My brand new "Fights" section goes into EXTREME detail of fights in DBZ. I'm working on one right now, Cell VS Gohan. Yes, I did say in the intro to my site that this page is based on DBZ in America, but too bad. I do warn all of you who may read it, it is a big spoiler of things to come in DBZ. But, if you can't wait for Funimation to dub those episodes which are roughly over 50 episodes away, go ahead and read it. Scroll down a bit and you'll see that I put buttons up in my sections! They look better than words that I had before and it makes my page look more appealing. I also put all those links into a section so that my main page isn't so big. I'm not sure, but I think that Telemundo took out Spanish DBZ. For the past two weekends they've been playing soccer and some talk show is on at 9 AM. I really hope that they didn't take DBZ out cause it was the closest to real DBZ and I'll have to change the intro to my site! I just checked TVguide.com and it looks like DBZ is no longer on, on the weekend! But, now on weekdays, instead of 9 AM, it's moved back to 8:30 AM. Not bad, it's better than not being on at all. Along with that, I changed the intro just a bit. The Lycos 50 for this week...
1) Pokemon
2) Britney Spears
3) Dragon Ball Z
4) WWF
5) Super Bowl
I'm glad that DBZ is still at number 3! Well, it's been a great update, so see you next week!
1/26/00: I finally got a poll up here at my site! I'll change it every two weeks or so. The question is: who would win in a fight between Piccolo and Vegeta, and the time they fight is on Earth after everyone is teleported from Namek. I warn you it will ONLY WORK WITH NETSCAPE 3.0 and HIGHER OR INTERNET EXPLORER 4.0 and HIGHER! WHICH MEANS THAT YOU PEOPLE WHO USE AOL'S IE CAN'T USE IT, AN ERROR MESSAGE WILL POP UP! I couldn't really get that much done this week cause of midterms. Of course there would be another section for the Past Quotes, so check it out if you missed some of them. If you are a true fan of DBZ, then you wouldn't miss a huge poster of GOKU IN THE CHRISTINA AGULERA VIDEO "What a Girl Wants"! It appears a numerous amount of times in her video and the best view of it would be about a minute into the video. It'll be to the top right of the screen and only Christina will be seen with Goku in the background. What does this mean? I think that is was there purposely, not accidentally. DBZ is increasing in popularity and for it to be wallpaper in a major music video is great! Sailor Moon is no longer on the WB anymore! Instead, Full House is on. Full House SUCKS! I could go on and on about how bad of a replacement Full House is for Sailor Moon, but I think they should have kept it there. For all you Pokemaniacs, Pokemon the First Movie will be in stores on March 21. Speaking of Pokemon, my brother got rid of his Pokemon site so I took his link out of my links. The Lycos 50 for the week...
1) Pokemon
2) Britney Spears
3) DRAGON BALL Z
4) Lunar Eclipse
5) WWF
Again, I have no complaints about this week. You know the routine, right after the Lycos 50, I'm out. So till next update!
1/19/00: This may be my biggest update ever! As you can see right above you is the Quote of the Week. The quotes that I'm going to use are said on recent episodes playing on Cartoon Network. They will consist of funny phrases and bad dialogue. I got this week's quote on Monday from one of the orphans. I think it's pretty funny. This was the new thing I was going to come up with that I said I would weeks ago. On Monday, my brother purchased "GARLIC JR. BLACK WATER MIST" the uncut version from some music store. I gotta tell ya that I'm satisfied with the 3 episodes on it. The dialogue, music, and voices aren't bad at all! The voices and music fit into the setting and there's no fruity phrases that the characters say. And in the beginning before they played the episodes they showed a few commercials which were phat! It showed the new action figures and them fighting which was funny AND they showed clips from future episodes! And to top it all off, on another commercial, there was a blank screen and in the middle it said the name "Trunks" and it showed awesome clips of him using his sword and transforming onto a Super Saiyan! The best part of it all was that they had his voice! He was screaming, but it was his English voice! I believe that Funimation may have gone past season 3 already! I hope so! To see summaries of the episodes on that tape, go to my Future Tapes section, but I warn you that it may spoil some surprises ahead! I've received a lot of advice that I should add more media to my page. Well, I have two excuses why this page hardly has any. First, AOL only gives me so much space for my page, 2 MB, that's all. And second, any jabroni can just take all kinds of media, make their page look all nice and pretty, and say they have a great page. It's too easy to do that. Any fifteen year old jabroni can entertain anyone by posting any picture of Trunks he wants! What I'm trying to say is that my page is to INFORM, NOT ENTERTAIN! Not many people have the time, patience, and enthusiasm to fully inform people about Dragon Ball Z! So for all of you jabronis out there who say my page will be better if it had more media, TOO BAD! I don't believe that makes a good DBZ page! Anyway, do you hear it? You probably don't. Turn your synth up to hear it! I put up a new song, but it's a MID so when the page loads your synth will be turned lower. I can't do anything about that, sorry. I only want to put up the best music here at my site and I think this song is awesome, even though it has nothing to do with DBZ. E-mail me to tell me what you think of this song. Also, I added the episode "Explosion of Anger" to What's Been Edited and some Anonymous Edits so check that out. On Monday, since I was off, I watched Spanish DBZ on Telemundo. They made new episodes! It used to end where English season 2 ended, but I guess that they're now dubbing season 3. Pretty cool cause now you can see, not hear unless you know Spanish, what's been edited in season 3, if you're home of course! The Lycos 50 for this week...
1) Pokemon
2) Britney Spears
3) DRAGON BALL Z
4) Martin Luther King, Jr.
5) WWF
What can I say? DBZ has come a long way from what it was years ago. Well, I wish all of my updates could be as big as this one. I guess I just got lucky this week. I'd hate to end this long update...! But, I can't go on forever so, TILL NEXT TIME!
1/12/00: Nothing new again! This is the second week in a row that I haven't got anything done. The Lycos 50 for this week is great. All except that Lycos talks about what's on the 50, but they NEVER...EVER mentioned DBZ! Those bastards! Oh well here.....
1) Pokemon
2) Britney Spears
3) DRAGON BALL Z
4) Pamela Anderson
5) WWF
Someone please mail me and tell me why Britney Spears is beating DBZ?! She's caught between Ash and Goku, and she won't go away! Anyway, I promise to get something done for my next update cause I have Monday off. I have information for What's Been Edited thanks to UltSaiyan. So till next time!
1/5/00: HAPPY NEW YEAR! Look how weird the date looks! How EXTREMELY disappointing to see the first episode of DBZ on Cartoon Network yesterday! Many people including myself were expecting to see Garlic Junior! I hope we're not going to have to wait a few months to see a new episode. Besides that I'd like to give my opinion on how the media doesn't talk about DBZ at all! It's doing very well at Lycos, but still Lycos says nothing about it. It is Pokemon's rival and Pokemon is maybe the biggest thing now. You don't hear on the news about how much DBZ is competing with Pokemon. Part of the reason why I think it doesn't get much media attention is because it is violent and no one wants to encourage the same young viewers of Pokemon to watch DBZ. DBZ was at number 4 at Lycos, you ask someone what that is and they no clue, but they know all the other 9 in the top ten! I believe DBZ should get more attention because it has become more popular and is in competition with Pokemon. Anyway, not much new at my site besides a link to my friend Will's page. It's not DBZ related, but if you like Wrestling and/or rap check it out. The Lycos 50 for this week was disappointing:
1) Pokemon
2) Y2K
3) Britney Spears
4) Publishers Clearing House
5) The New Year
6) Time
7) DRAGON BALL Z
Errr. I believe Y2K, Publishers Clearing House, and Time will be out of there soon and DBZ will be at 4. Well I think that would be all for this update. I didn't get anything done, I don't have the time and I don't care all that much. See ya next week.
12/29/99: I didn't get as much as I thought I would done for this update. It's vacation and I just don't have the time. Well, I took out my holiday banner. It takes too long to load so I'm happy to get rid of it. Added an episode to What's Been Edited. The Lycos 50 for this week is...
1) Christmas
2) Pokemon
3) Britney Spears
4) Santa Claus
5) Dragon Ball Z
DBZ moved down a number for Santa. Wow big deal by next week Santa and Christmas will be out of there and DBZ will be third. The one thing that stumps me is Britney Spears. She hasn't done anything lately. Anyway today is my good friend's birthday. Happy Birthday Chris Littleford!! For next time I'll probably add another episode and think of another section to put up! Till next time!
12/22/99: I took all the old news out of my main page and put them where else but in my OLD NEWS SECTION! I've been receiving some complaints that the news in my main page was too long and I thought that it was too. So from now on, I guess I'll keep the three latest news updates on my main page. As you can hear, I changed the music again. That's probably the worst of the music I've put on my site, I've heard it maybe almost 1000 times! I couldn't add any episodes to my edited section because someone is borrowing my tape. I did add a few phrases to what's been anonymously edited. The Lycos 50 for the week ending on the 18th is...
1) Christmas
2) Pokemon
3) Britney Spears
4) Dragon Ball Z
5) WWF
It's the same thing as the week before, except that WWF is in 5th instead of Y2K. I'll definitely get a lot done for my next update cause my holiday vacation starts on Friday. So till next time!
12/17/99: No words can express my happiness at this point!!! Finally AOL has come through!!!
No words can express my anger at this moment. It's been over 24 hours and AOL still isn't updating my site. It's now the 16th and this is supposed to have been updated yesterday! I don't care anymore. I just don't care anymore. AOL is doing it again!!!!!! But, this time it isn't my fault! AOL is being MAD SLOW so I couldn't update my page! I tried and tried and I said, "I think I can I think I can..." But it never happened! Is this going to be the main topic from now on in my news section?! YELLING AT AOL?! I hope not. AOL is wasting my time! I could be doing my biology homework right now, but I have to try and try to update! I swear this is really really really making me angry!! It's now almost 9 PM and I didn't even start my homework. I'm giving up for today I can't believe this. This WAS supposed to reach you on the 15th, but I'll try again tomorrow. You're probably asking your self why I'm getting so mad? Well IF YOU SPEND AS MUCH TIME AND EFFORT AS I DO INTO MAKING A PAGE AND THEN WHEN YOU WANT TO SHOW IT TO THE WORLD YOU CAN'T, THAT'S WHY I'M SO ANGRY!
Finally the mystery section has arrived! What's Been Edited is my newest section. Since I do own the Frieza fight sub-titled I know exactly what hasn't been shown on Cartoon Network. I also changed the whole format of my page. I put the Biographies, Edited, and Tapes into Sections of my main page so that it would load faster. As you can see I made my own background. If you don't know who it is, it's Super Saiyan Goku. A new song is at the bottom of the page. The Lycos 50 for this week is...
1. Christmas
2. Pokemon
3. Britney Spears
4. DRAGON BALL Z
5. Y2K
So it's the same first 4, but WWF moved back and Y2K is in. Well, I guess that would be all for this update. For my next update I'm planning to add more episodes to What's Been Edited. Till next time!
12/08/99: HAPPY HOLIDAYS! The holidays are already here. A year goes by so fast! I haven't updated in a while because I feel that I don't need to update almost everyday. I don't need to update so often, I'll update every week because IT FEELS LIKE I'M TALKING TO A WALL. The amount of hits I get here a day isn't great, but it's not bad. I don't get too much response from people who do visit even though I have mentioned it a couple times. I also don't have the time to update often. Anyway, it was my mistake. I take it all back AOL, even though I didn't say anything too bad. It was my mistake that my page didn't upload that day, but now I know not to make that mistake.
DBZ has become so popular! Many of my friends have started to watch it since the new episodes, it's been in the news, and it's in stores! Not just that, but listen to this... For the week finishing December 4th, Dragon Ball Z is the 4th most searched item at Lycos!!! Last week it was at number 5 and the week before it was at number 2! These are the 5 most searched for the week at Lycos...
1) Christmas
2) Pokemon
3) Britney Spears
4) Dragon Ball Z
5) WWF
I have excuses for all those numbers. Christmas is at number 1, it's the holidays so of course people are looking up the word Christmas for gifts and stuff. Number 2, Pokemon, what can I say, it's a cult, a trend, I can't do anything about it. Number 3, Britney Spears, I don't know why she's there for because she didn't releasee a new album or done anything special lately. Number 4, DRAGON BALL Z!!!! It's gotten so popular! Don't think I just started to watch it, I've been watching or years since it's been on the WB. And finally number 5, the WWF. It's hard to believe that even though the WWF has "Millions... AND MILLIONS of fans" DBZ IS STILL BEATING IT!!! I do watch WWF and think it's cool, but DBZ is much better!
I updated a lot this week. As you can see right at the top, I took out the DBZ logo and put up my own little crappy Happy Holiday banner! It's the best I could do with the resources I have. The MID file at the bottom of the page may turn your synth down, that's why it's so soft that you need to turn the volume up. Sorry I don't have control over that MID file and your volume control. I moved the pics of the new tapes out and put them on another page. Look right before the news section and click on the link if you want to see them. I added Krillin to the bios! The picture I got for his is a funny one from the Frieza fight. The next person, (if you can call him that), that I'll add to the bios will probably be Frieza. A new thing that I'll include in the news is what position DBZ is at on Lycos. And finally I'm going to add a new section fairly soon. I'm not going to tell you what it is so you'll just have to wait and see, but trust me it'll be pretty cool! So, I guess that's all for this update, till next week!!!
12/01/99: AOL is pissing me off!! They never updated my page yesterday!!!!! AHHHHHHH!!! "YOU...YOU....YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS AOL!!" <----If you know what that phrase is referring to drop me a line. So you might as well, if THIS UPDATES, read what I had for yesterday cause that was IMPORTANT! I added Gohan today to the bios and Piccolo was yesterday. The reason why I based this page on American DBZ is up in my intro. Here are the release dates and titles for the new tapes that are coming out from Funimation:
Jan. 18, 2000:
vol. 27: Frieza: 11th Hour
vol. 28: Garlic Jr.: Black Water Mist
Feb. 15, 2000:
vol. 29: Frieza: Fall of A Tyrant
vol. 30: Garlic Jr.: Sacred Water
Mar. 14, 2000:
vol. 31: Frieza: Namek's End
vol. 32: Frieza: Garlic Jr.: Vanquished
As most of you may know from the movie "Deadzone", which took place before Radditz, Garlic Junior got his wish to be immortal. Gohan sent him into the Deadzone, which Garlic Jr. created and he would stay there forever cause he can't die. So in the Garlic Jr. saga how will the Z fighters defeat Garlic without Goku?! You'll just have to watch it to find out!
I have no clue why Funimation if going to release their new tapes in that order. At the top of the news are pics of the new tapes. There were other tapes of with Frieza, but those were already shown on CN. Well, that's all for now, until next update (whenever that may be)!!
11/30/99: Making a lot of improvements, changes, and additions. Listen, can you hear it? Yup I changed the music, kinda. If you've visited my page before it may sound familiar. Part of the reason why I changed it is because I don't believe that all you people haven't seen a REAL episode of DBZ, REAL in which I mean sub-titled. So you probably like the "Rockin' Dragon" theme song better than the Japanese one. Don't worry you'll like it soon. Besides that I added Piccolo to the bios. I made a pretty brief summary of Piccolo's character go and check it out. My intro to DBZ before my news section is a little different. And finally, I'm 100% sure that I've fixed the link to my brother's Pokemon page. I do NOT like Pokemon, but I choose to put his link there. Well, that's all for this update. Till next time!
11/29/99: Things are really going to change around here. First of all, I have to change my background. The one with Piccolo was from Greg's site, but since he's not posting his e-mail address anymore I couldn't contact him to ask if I could use it. Anyway it makes my site look too much like his, so for now I'm using the one that you're seeing now. I don't want to make myself look like "George." I got my counter working properly so now I can see how many of you are stopping by. I've changed the format of this site. Instead, of having the characters at my main page you can click to go to them just like a link. I put headings for the character bios, links, and the song lyrics. My brother's link to his site was messed up and now it's fixed. I'll be putting up more detailed, character bios with more characters over time. So for my next update, I'll put up some more characters and more! See you next update!!!
11/28/99: Funimation is going to release new tapes starting on Jan 18, 99. That's well over a month away and that tape was already aired on Cartoon Network! What's up with that?! Season 3 will end TWO episodes before Trunks comes in. And when will the new episodes of season 3 continue, I don't know, I'm hoping right after they're done with what they've showed so far.
As for this page's news, today I added the news section! The news will inform you with new stuff about DBZ and my page. I also put up the lyrics for the song at the bottom of the page. Added some links to my favorite DBZ sites, dragonballz.com, funimation.net, svegetto's site, ULTIMEX2000's Pokemon page, and Vegeta Insane! I'm trying to get a counter up so I can see how many people visit my page, if you know how to get a counter up please mail me. Well that's all for this update, remember to e-mail me cause I want to know how many people are reading this and what they think!!!
