So somebody in the anime LJ community posted that they've watched 170 anime series and 30 movies. I am officially astounded and boggled by this...

BUT it is not because said person actually accomplished this feat. I'm actually more astonished at the thought that there are 170 series and 30 movies that don't suck ass! Maybe they're including hentai in this assessment?

Oh, Dragonball does end...

[ex-jean.livejournal.com]

At episode 300. We're lucky that that's counting the original Dragonball series that hasn't been aired on Toonami (or probably ever will... sigh.).

I think the excruciating part of the series is that they've taken so long to translate/cut/dub episodes for airing on NA TV. In doing so, they just show old episodes over and over, and then are so demi-perfectionist as to want it in ORDER when it does air, taking even longer than usual. I'm wondering if we'll get to see GT at all at this rate...

Oh, yes, I'm a Dragonball fan. Don't beat me. To be honest, I'm not entirely pleased with the anime myself... it's much better in manga form, where the fights were short and sweet. Luckily, I have a timed VCR so I can fast forward to the good stuff. What can I say... it takes all types. I hope.... ^_^,

Heh, well it's nice to hear that you're a manga fan, because that's one of my big gripes about the anime: It takes like, two to three WEEKS worth of episodes to have one measly fight. :p

CN announced acquisition of original Dragonball a few weeks ago, didn't they?

I could be wrong...

Really?

This I must find out for myself. I don't see how they're going to edit some of those, though, considering that the first few episodes were pretty crude (heck, one episode revolved around getting Yamucha to have an H-related nosebleed so he could fight an invisible enemy...). -.-; Look-see time!

Actually, when I went to actually SEE how many episodes of Dragonball exist, the total comes to a grand 508 episodes. The first season is 153, the second (Z) is 291, and the third (GT) is 64.

I hate not having my stats right... :P
