What a bump.

I used to watch this back when I was a kid. I still have the VHS I recorded off the T.V. in HK. One tape contains 1 minute of actual fighting. On a 3 hour tape. Take a good guess what that story was about.

It's good when they fight, but the endless hours of posturing, flying around, squatting(with/out screaming) or just plain staring each other down bkgbrwibbhoinbamav.

How does the new movie do against Mortal Combat?

Was it the Freeza battle? that one wsa ridiculous with the amount of episodes used to cover a 60 seconds of actual fighting

[oohhboy]

BINGO! We have a winner!

It also didn't help that the entire planet looked the same no matter where they were. Or during that "fight"(A term I use euphemistically), Freeza became more and more effeminate. What worse is that standing up for hours on end became a valid tactic.

It was so bad that I was put off anime directly for 10 years thinking that was all that Japan had to offer outside Studio Gibuli, Akira and LOL moments from the Fist of North Star that I couldn't understand.

It wasn't until I watched Gundam SEED and having Sister working at a games store with anime did I rediscovered the joy. And this was a year or two after I had a 9 month stay in Japan.

Gawd! I can still remember those times, when I am watching those episodes... There are different camera angles of their moves or shots...and repeats three or four times with one shot... really amazing for a kid like me back in those days...but not amazed anymore... hehe
