    Spent $14 and finally got my hands on the "NS2" launch title: Pokémon Emerald [Fan-Requested Edition]?. First of all: This is a Chinese fan-made project. Not official merchandise, not genuine game, just for fun. Here is what happened. I seemingly got the NS2 launch title Pokémon Emerald for only $14. The seller said he had exclusive access, and even claimed his friend worked on manufacturing NS2 game cartridges. ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/0c5ca04b-49d0-4f03-bf59-9edb2508e0cd.jpeg)…

    Finally finished reading Dragon Ball Z volume 1. It was expected and fulfilled what I wanted out of it given I've watched most of everything in DB and DBZ. Now I need to get back to reading volume 10 of Super and then start on the single volume of Inuyasha I have. Not sure if I wanna go onto something else or maybe continue with Dragon Ball Super. All the while i'm trying to read through the German version of the original Dragon Ball LOL. #nowreading #manga #dragonball #dbz #dbs #inuyasha

    Dragon Ball Z was the first anime I ever really loved so I had to include it, even if I grew out of shonen anime. The 1996 X movie was impactful to me early on due to it's beautiful, dark, gothic, violent and tragic imagery and story, plus it introduced me to X JAPAN and thus visual kei/jrock.

    That was good! The animation is obviously better, but what stood out to me was the directing and pacing, it felt really good, more similar to a Dragon Ball movie. Also seems like they got rid of the goofy songs from the original early Super soundtrack. Although I hope they keep some of the songs because Super had some great music in it, obviously the Ultra Instinct theme is iconic.

    I grew up with Voltron, and I famously had early exposure to (Japanese, unsubtitled) Dragon Ball when I was very young. But it wasn't until I recognized the connective tissue between those Hong Kong films and the original Fist of the North Star Animated Movie that I got into anime as a medium.
