In reply to The Colorful Art of Dragon Ball
I have the whole manga set, the spines of all the books combined turns into an awesome picture. I really wish Japan did the live action version of Dragonball instead of letting Hollywood screw it up (ex. of Japanese anime/game movie=>
), because it probably would have looked a lot better.

@viloki9: Might have looked better... maybe. But it apparently would have still been ridic cheesy. I mean, 「さらばだ！！」. (And also Takao Osawa looked like Matsumoto Jun from Kimi wa Petto in that clip.)

But the whole fun of live-action movies based on manga is that they will probably never be well-acted or true enough to the source material. They're just cheesy fun (and spicylunch is right, the Jp version -- from a looong time ago -- is hilare).
