I think my brain just melted.

I haven't ever posted in this journal, but when I heard this news I just couldn't help myself. It's about an upcoming Dragonball adaptation.

For those of you that do not know, Dragon ball was an anime about a little alien baby sent from a planet that is now long gone- I think his purpose was to take over, but he hit his head on a rock and then started fighting for good. I'm iffy on Dragonball. I only got into it during Dragonball z, when that same alien baby is all grown up.

The point of this whole entry, however, is that I just heard about the cast. The following is taken from the Anime New Network website.



The cast includes Justin Chatwin (War of the Worlds, The Invisible, Lost television series) as Goku, James Marsters (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Smallville) as Piccolo, Emmy Rossum (The Phantom of the Opera film, The Day After Tomorrow) as Bulma, Eriko Tamura (Heroes) as Mai, Jamie Chung (The Real World) as Chi Chi, Joon Park (Speed Racer) as Yamcha, and Chow Yun-Fat (A Better Tomorrow, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End) as Master Roshi. The cast is training under the stunt firm 87Eleven (The Matrix, The Bourne Supremacy, 300).


The one that killed me was James Marsters as Piccolo...now, I love JM. I loved him as Spike on Buffy. Psycho love for him there.

But...Piccolo is a GREEN ALIEN. WHO WEARS A TURBAN ON HIS HEAD. And I'm gonna try to be open minded, I really am. Because I love Dragonball Z. And I want to see this adaptation.

But...

But imagining JM (even though I'm totally picturing Spike in my head) as a green alien (with a turban)--- my brain can't compute.

I think I'm gonna need a moment, guys.
