Dragon Ball Origins 2 to include Dragon Ball NES game




I've never played the Dragon Ball Famicom game, or the heavily edited NES version, but am hoping it will be included in the American version of Dragon Ball DS2. Dragon Ball: Shen-Long no Nazo plays similar to Zelda.

Dai Sentai Goggle V: The goofiest Sentai show ever?


I haven't watched every Sentai show, but I think Goggle Five is one of the funniest. I usually like my Toku shows to be serious, but I actually don't mind the humor in this one. The monsters of the week are some of the dumbest I've ever seen, and the fight scenes have more slapstick than a Three Stooges Marathon.





Goggle Black does make up for the humor by being the total badass, and the fact that Jyunichi Haruta did his own stunts. I've just been recently watching the show, and there is one episode I just can't look past its nonsense. That would have to be episode 9: Hell's Mushroom Village. The bad guys go back in time to harvest mushrooms for the monster of the week.

I have no idea why they went back in time to get these mushrooms when they could have just gotten them at a local grocery store. It's also apparently very easy to travel back in time by just going through a cavern, and transporting your giant robot there. Obviously someone was a fan of Land of the Lost.
Overall, I have been enjoying the show, and can't wait to get the rest of the DVDs from Japan. It may not be the greatest Sentai show, but is one of the funniest I've seen so far.
