Hey people! DBZ movies question

Postby islandjunky » Wed Jun 06, 2007 3:22 pm

Hello,

Well, because I'm an unknowledgeable person in the way of DBZ, I was hoping one of you smart people could direct me to one of the better movies? (because I don't want to spend $300 on the show)

I have no idea whether or not to get the movies or just to get the highlights of the show, such as the cell or something like that. . . Advice anyone? ?

Thanks

Well first off I certainly wish I had $300 to throw around like that when I was 15!

I think though you should get something that would introduce you to the main characters if you're new to the series.

Yeah, I might have that "much", but I had to earn it. . . every filthy penny. . .

I know the basics of the show, I was just looking for something that had "flashy lights and explosions". (so I didn't want the episodes when the dude was a little kid, not much power to throw around here. . .)

Oh no! ! ! I just know saw the thread started by Godly paladin! ! ! Sooo sorry people. . . (head shakes as I make yet another mistake. . .)

if you're REALLY looking for some DBZ material, then you should visit that other thread that you already spotted (as you said in your post above...), but if you want to find another good anime with "flashy lights and explosions" you could make a request in the Anime Recommendations section.

"God the great Creator of all things doth uphold, direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things, from the greatest even to the least, by His most wise and holy providence, according to His infallible foreknowledge and the free and immutable counsel of His own will, to the praise of the glory of His wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy."

"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll

"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."
- Martin Luther

"I have to tell you first that I am ready to die. I have put my affairs in order. Your supreme weapon is killing. My supreme weapon is dying, because when you kill me, people all over Romania will read my books and believe on the God that I preach - even more than they do now."
- Dr. Joseph Ton, the exiled Romanian pastor (quoted by James Montgomery Boice)

Yeah, I was thinking about doing that, but isn't DBZ like the "father" of "flashy lights and explosions"?? Also, honestly, does anyone really look at the Anime Recommendations thread? (honestly now. . .)
