[Evil Vegeta]

Interesting stuff. Looking at Movie 6 makes me wonder if AT had the Dende/Kami idea in mind way in advance.

 

[Pyro]

Reading these titles, it's no wonder they chose "Super" for the next series. It's one of their favorite words, right next to "incredible."

 

[Void]

Thanks for posting this. Heil Hitler or whatever, Schutzstaffel.

 

[Papasmurf]

Reading these titles, it's no wonder they chose "Super" for the next series. It's one of their favorite words, right next to "incredible."

So the next DB movie will be a rip-off of the Incredibles?

 

[Pyro]

Next series will be Incredible, bank on it.

Hah! I didn't notice that.

 

[Tapion]

Oh my fucking god, look at all of this info, this will help me a fricking lot in my future Cooler analysis thread! KP, you're unbelievable man.

 

[Tapion]

Just a slight correction, KP. You got the Slug movie's release date wrong. According to Wikipedia, the movie was released on March 9, 1991. A quick search on Google reveals the latest episode to the date was the episode "Piccolo - The Super Namek", released on March 6, 1991, and the next episode was "Déja vu", released on March 13, 1991. @Schutzstaffel you should fix this.

[withheldforprivacy]

I don't go with Release Dates. I place the movies where i think they make most sense, then make PLs based on where i place them.

@Kamikaze Pyro any comment?

 

[Void]

I did a Google search, the DB wiki and the regular wiki list the movie's release as March 9, but everything else I'm looking at shows March 19.

http://www.kanzenshuu.com/movie/ Kanz says March 9.

 

[Pyro]

That's weird because I got those dates from Kanzenshuu (-tai at the time) itself...

 

[Pakl]

Yes they changed the dates a few times... Wiki used to say its March 9 but the Kanzenshuu said it was March 19... Now its March 9 in Kanzenshuu as well

The preview for episode 82 was shortened because of movie 4 preview and the date in another video I saw was March 9...
