I feel like you guys are hyping Dagashi Kashi up too much.
Nice character designs aside, it seems like standard slice of life.

Oh you.
I hope you showed this to the Sentai Twitter account and hope that they have a sense of humor, haha

Sentai will enable me to own agk, parasyte, log horizon, and u&t on blu ray for not aniplex prices so they're alright in my book.

This, right here. This one is amazing. Please show it to them on Twitter.
But why would you want to own any of those?

Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might
This film I actually watched back when the Ocean dub made it a 3-part episode. It's my first time watching it as a feature film however. The flim Tree of Might is all right with the second half making up for the first, for the most part.
The Good:
Tien, Chiaotzu, and Yamcha are in this. Although Yamcha only purpose seems to be getting shit on by everyone else.
Giant monkey fight! Easily the best part of the film.
Turles is a fun villian. Helps he's voiced by Chris Patton.
The imagery when The Tree of Might was sucking the Earth's energy. This might sound odd, but it reminded me of Chernobyl in that nature is reclaiming the Earth, so to speak. And I interpreted the Green forest turning red as an allusion to the red forest.
The bad:
The first 25-30 minutes aren't good. It brings the whole production down and honestly should have been cut in half.
Chi Chi: Still unlikable and unsympathetic as ever. If anything, she might be worse than usual here.
Icarus: Kinda pointless and kinda annoying. The embodiment of every single "I found a wild animal that really likes me and my mom/dad/boss won't let me keep him" cliche. Could do without him.
How Turles was defeated: It's an asspull that is only explained by King Kai after the fact.
Overall it's a mixed bag. It could definitely be worse, but it could also be a better experience.
Not pictured: An evil goatee.

I foresee that Sentai logo getting a lot of usage for future Toonami viewings.

If they do they probably look at us from the same perspective as the #truth commercials show where they're big money and were the dumb excuse smoking teen
You want Sentai to notice us?

Sentai Senpai noticed me!
Sentai Senpai is a hentai.

I see Funimation has discovered the Web 2.0 craze of the early 2000s
Funimation has a new Logo. I think they want me to vote for them or something?
They are also launching new mobile apps, new apps on Roku and AppleTV (FINALLY), and some other stuff.

You got it backwards. SAO makes God weep.
Sentai noticing you is an anime death sentence.

Yes, thank you, Captain Obvious and First Mate Lieteunant No Shit.
How the hell is Blue Bird missing from Best OPs?
Oversight probably. Could have sworn I saw it on the Google doc.

Stop me if you've heard this one before: A big green demon slug seeks the Earth Dragon Balls to wish to return to the prime of his youth. He then proceeds to conquer the planet shortly after achieveing his goal of eternal youth. Now am I talking about the King Piccolo saga or am I talking about...
Dragon Ball Z: Lord Slug
So yes, Lord Slug probably has the least original plot of all the DBZ films. Incidentally, it might be the most notable part about the entire film. With perhaps the exception of Piccolo trolling the bat-pig guy, Lord Slug is completely inconsequential with nothing noteworthy about it. Even the false Super Saiyan transformation is meaningless in the grand scheme of things.
I honestly don't have much to say about Lord Slug. It's a pretty damn mediocre watch.

King Kai, if that's a Super Saiyan then Yamcha's not a jobber.

We were only counting stuff that aired on TV
Blue Bird aired that one night, in full, the night of miracles.
The power of MC Cupid Vash.
Is this the movie that had a bunch of Disturbed songs like Stupify in it?
It's either that one or the one after it, or both. DBZ movies are in a bit of a funk until Bojack after this.
