 X's For Eyes 2009-08-07 . chapter 1Your imagination ... Holy crap, lady.
Hercule's left me speechless (although, an update: Toriyama revealed recently that Mr. Satan's first name is Mark!). The one you wrote for Icarus left me feeling touched, and more than just a little maternal. Launch's left me longing for the character and her bipolar antics again. Master Roshi's can only be described as HI-LA-RI-OUS. Ox King's breaks the heart in all the right places. The one for Queen Vegeta then comes in to quickly rectify all of that pesky parental warmth with some acidic, biting comedy. Uub's inspires wistfulness. And, finally, Yamucha's kind of makes me want to kill myself.
So, in other words, well done!
This story jumps around the universe (and beyond) several dozen times over, but it's always written crisply and with tongue planted firmly in cheek. When you do decide to drop some sentimentality every once in a while, it somehow manages to escape feeling forced. You cover a fair amount of emotions with these drabbles, which I guess is why I feel like I've just sat through a really good two hour movie. It's criminal that this has been hosted here for nearly a year, and I'm only the fifth review. Bah, some people have no taste. This was amazing, and henceforth, I will be recommending it to any DBZ fan worth their salt. |
