Just watched the clip that apparently I'd miss on my initial download-- the kitchen scene!

With the Vegeta crack!

::hands over face snickering:: How funny was that? You'd probably have to be an anime fan of some sort to get a kick out of it, but boy did I. And the really pathetic part is that Andrew isn't like Vegeta at all-- Vegeta is much more like Spike or Anya.

He's like Spike because he is a character foil/shadow for the main character; because it was love that eventually drove him to choose to be good; because he had no choice in being bad initially; and because the hero let him live out of pity.

And he's like Anya because he had a brief remission in which he willfully chose to be bad & kill people again for the power it gave him, and then had to go back & choose willfully to be good.

Like them both because he was hindered from doing evil by being stranded on the planet with the guy who could beat the crap out of him if he started doing evil again--thus against his will. And because he eventually changed by years of exposure to humanity, which taught him mercy & compassion.

::giggle:: Not really like Andrew at all. And much cooler.

mmm... Vegeta! I'm still bitter that Cartoon network keeps cycling back to just after Vegeta sacrafices himself to try to kill Buu, and then they go through many Vegetaless eps, and just when he comes back *bam* back to repeats. Durnit, that's just not right, he's more than half the reason I watch that show ;-) So it was with great delight that I greeted his name on Buffy (which I finally got to see last night). Silly Andrew, Vegeta would eat him for breakfast! I haven't seen his whole saga, but I like your summary/comparison, it fits in with the bits and pieces I've seen and heard about quite nicely...hmm, maybe I'll go stare some more at the little vegeta collage I made a while back.... ot: finished watching the Escaflowne series a few weeks ago, and quite liked it. Is the movie worth a rental? The preview made it look like a completely different story...

I haven't seen the whole Buu saga either-- I haven't even seen everything that's on CN.

I loved Esca. But the movie was crap. Not anything so nice as the series. I'd try downloading it for free, if I were you.
