TV Guide's Dragon Ball Z Article |
**NOTE - This link no longer works. However, I have scanned in the article, and you can check it out here.**
No it's not a DBZ site, I thought I'd do something a little different this time. OK, so it's over two years old now, but dammit, this is exciting. It's not often you get a mainstream mention of anime, and when TV Guide itself picks DBZ as one of the top ten kid's shows in the nation... well, that is extremely cool. I remember buying the print version of the issue just for this brief little article, and I realized for the first time that this weird, underground thing that I thought was all mine was not only suddenly out in the open, but was rapidly gaining notoriety. I still can't believe it. |
The Daily Dragon Ball Chapters |
**NOTE - This site no longer exists (Man, what is UP with all these dying sites??). The manga scans are now available at PlanetNamek.com**
You know, you hear the phrase "one of the best (insert subject here) sites on the net" all the time. People toss it around so much that it has become utterly meaningless. I use that statement very sparingly, so when I say that this is one of the best damned Dragon Ball-related sites out there, I really mean it. I caught on to this one rather late, I must admit, and I'm kicking myself because of it. Basically, the idea here is that they upload one chapter of the Dragon Ball manga every day, translated for the Japanese impaired, and downloadable in zip format. Now what could be cooler than that?? It's an incredibly daunting task, accomplished cheerfully and competently by the staff. The fact that the wonderful news section on the front page isn't even the main attraction shows just how valuable this site is. The only downside is that they must remove the commercially-available Viz translations as they are released for copyright reason. But Viz still has a long way to go, so this site will still be useful for years to come. |
