The cast has been pretty weird. Marsters as Piccolo and Rossum as Bulma seems good. I'm not too sure about Yamcha and Chi Chi (she's too hot for Chi Chi LOL).And Chow Yun Fat as Roshi..that could either be the greatest castingever or the most f***ed up. LOL It's Chow Yun Fat, I think he can pullit off.
