The Dragonball Kai Intro Is Delightfully Classic (and Classy)
No big surprise here, but as a DB/DBZ fan, I can’t deny the happiness that comes with seeing new Dragonball animation, and the fact that the whole enterprise looks like it was made in 1989 (especially the music) is a wonderful touch. No pimping of the newest J-pop band, no scenes of anything past Frieza, and hell, the only thing missing is someone screaming “CHA-LA! HEAD CHA-LA!” And I can do that myself. (Via Japanator)

Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
