Review of chapter "Episode 88: Unprofessional Therapy" from ChibiChibi
Review:
What? No! This is it? This can't be it! I'm totally hooked by this story and now I see that you haven't written a new chapter in four years :(

Please, at least tell me, will you continue with this story or is it abandoned?

Review of chapter "Episode 79: Back to School" from eternalfox
Review:
This is a question I've had since you had Chichi get with the friend of Xander's? What's going to happen during the Buu Saga? With Goku given his life back...would Chichi leave what's his name for her true love? As much as you paint it...raw power didn't kill Buu, it was the life energy of the universe within the genki dama which only Goku knows how to use.
Comments from author:
True love? You think Chichi and Goku are true love? It was all but an arranged marriage, more an expectation than anything resembling love, let alone true love.

And no, raw power did kill Buu. The Genki Dama IS raw power.

Oh, by the way, the Genki Dama was the Genki Dama of the Earth, not the universe. The Genki Dama of the universe was used to kill the one-star dragon in GT.

Review of chapter "Episode 88: Unprofessional Therapy" from JeremySensei
Review:
Read all the other parts up to now. Very good. Only 2 things kept me from giving it all 10. First, Anya. I know, I know. Needed for plot advancement and to get Xander to move onto the next level. Basically plot advancement. But I liked Anya a lot. She had actually grown in these stories and become a somewhat well rounded person. Couldn't she have just been severely injured and have lost the baby? And I could attack you as you requested in a few earlier parts about some of the plot turns the story has taken. I could lash out wondering who will be the next to die? Tara? Li? Both non-core group, non-important characters. Hell, Tera was actually killed off in the show. I could go all Misery on you, but that would be nitpicking, I know. What's done is done. But, can't change the past and all that. And I know it's a bit hypocritical for me to miss Anya and not Gunn as much, but since the destruction of W & H and, as such, his main place in that story arch (as on the show he became lawyer guy), it's a moot point. Second point is that there have been no updates in 3 years. I love and thoroughly recommend at least the first 3 saga's of this series (see aforementioned point). But if not finished, then the saga is left incomplete. Like an unfinished manga or anime of the same. This entire series has some of the best writing I've seen on this site. It's funny and entertaining. Hell, I've read all the way up to here in the past week every minute I get free. There are no recommendations I can make (aside from the unchangeable one earlier about Anya) because all the writing has been great thus far. I don't know about other readers, but I, personally, love very long, involved and good stories. And they are very hard to find. You owe me and your other readers nothing, but you started a story and created a lush world with dynamic and entertaining characters. Don't leave them hanging. Don't leave us hanging. Please. Just a humble request from an avid reader.

Review of chapter "Episode 85: Double Your Fun, Double Your Danger" from brokenangel
Review:
Well I like the story..I really do. Not really into the whole Wesley/Faith thing mainly because I'll always see him as the gutless wonder from BTVS. Are you ever going to continue the What if Scenario? I enjoyed that immensely.
Comments from author:
Which "What If?" Scenario. There are multiple.

Review of chapter "Episode 84: Conversations with Dead People" from Sadfru
Review:
I know it was a huge battle and Xander got all beat up showing how powerful it was but it just seems kinda anti climatic, more due to how big and nasty they made the first for the last season, leaving all those plot holes and inconsistencies any who loved the chapter have to admit the resemblance to the 7th season episode had me skimming over certain parts to get to the nitty gritty but it's all good. now they can relax a bit...Wonder how they are going to destroy 'Hell'?

On a side not can you clarify something about souls, are they all ending up in the firsts stomach, under a gods control etc because the gods monopoly made it sound like it in the previous arcs, then the 'angels' were added, are the 'angels' going to end up as zealots of some elder god (think Raiden), it would explain why the so called 'God' (capital G) relies on faith as to it's existence instead of showing it's face, the elder gods rules of non interference see.

In any case I wonder how many flames you'll get from involving Christianity, Till next time :)
Comments from author:
Only the souls on the Hellmouth went to hell, and I know of two exceptions. The first is Gunn, whose soul was destroyed/consumed by the SoulEater Bunny demon. The other one... well, that's telling. As for the rest of the souls, you'll have to keep reading, you'll see. Most souls though, like the souls who were in the First, they're just gone.

Review of chapter "Episode 83: The Past, The Present, and no Refunds" from Guardian
Review:
I went through the BZ saga from chapter 1 to here, the current chapter. Says a lot about the story if there's someone willing to read 83 episodes of fiction (plus the DBZ rewrites). Overall I like the saga very much, but there have been a few things I'm not very giddy with (hey, you're the author, you can do what you like and I'm not telling you what to do, just expressing my opinion).
1. Buffy is getting a lot of shit thrown at her throughout the saga. A bit too much in my opinion. Sure she's screwed up a from time to time (not staking Angelus as soon as he lost the soul - but hey -debatable if that's good or bad considering Angel became one of the greatest champions out there. On the other hand, neither did Xander though it would have been laughably easy for him to dust Angel. Based on that you could say that Xander failed to step up as a hero on a lot of occasions all because he wanted to keep himself hidden, thus leading to the death of a lot of people. On that note wasn't that fear that Frieza could sense him a bit too irrational? After all his father invented the trans-dimensional travel and the lab got blown up with the rest of the planet) but nobody is perfect. Whatever happens, Buffy seems to be the one getting the most abuse in the saga (if we leave out Faith's past). What's with the bias against her? Going all S&M on Spike/Harm, constant self-doubting etc. seems a bit too out of character. In the show Buffy came unhinged only when something truly bad happened (Dawn got taken by Glory/resurrection). Here she seems to be pretty insane most of the time - and main reason seems to be her inability to cope with the fact that Xan-man is now stronger than her. She has fought enemies that were stronger than her before so it seems kinda strange for her to start getting delusional because Xander suddenly got tough.

2. Vamps using chi - are they not dead bodies animated by a demon? Then where the hell comes the chi - the life force? Wouldn't it have had more sense to say they use their demonic energies? In the show vamps are described as cold, no heartbeat, no breath (unless they want to - you know, for speaking, smoking, oral...pleasures). So where do they get their life energy?

got some questions too - 1) Oz gonna show up at some point? Coz - he's cool... Would be nice to see him making an appearance or something. Would a werewolf be like the equivalent of the saiyan? - both transform at the full moon, just maybe the over-abundance of the energy in this dimension prevents them becoming giant werewolves, acting as a compression chamber of a sorts :P (fantasy running wild here).
2) You named this one "Angels Saga" but I don't see more of Angel in this saga than the previous ones. Is he going to be more in the spotlight later on?
3) Is Gunn finito - done for and all the jazz?
4) What is Xander going to do about Raiden? He's been kinda helpful, so is he off his "beat up on sight, then beat up some more, and if it still moves, blow it to smithereens" list of Gods?
Comments from author:
Point 1: I don't consider Angel a great champion, more like the opposite. He's a selfish bastard who let an army of demons loose on the world. Indeed Xander 'failed', but at least he had a good reson. Buffy is very much the same character as in the show, the same personality. The reason for her going nuts are that her whole worldview is tossed upside down, and has less to do with Xander being stronger, than everyone else including her kid sister surpassing her, and thinking SHE needs protection while she's the Slayer that should be protecting them. This is rather expounded upon in the episodes just before her transformation, the transformation itself, and episodes just after. And indeed, Buffy has that superiority complex that sent her over the edge, she had it before becoming the Slayer and being a cheerleader bitch worse than Cordelia, and she still has it much later: she even explicitly admits she has it in S7 episode "Conversations with Dead People". Do notice she's managed to beat that major character flaw. She no longer has that complex, and if you look at her from the that side of her character she might now seem to be self-doubting, but she really isn't: she knows her limitations, that's all. Now though, Buffy's on the way up, she's back to being her old loveable self from season 1, minus a superiority complex that got her to do the most damnable things.

Point 2: What do you think a demon is? Literally translated 'deamon', means 'spirit'. And what is 'chi', and 'life force' but 'spiritual' energy. So indeed, vampires have chi, demonic chi, but chi nontheless.

Question 1: There's no plan for Oz to show up. And no, a werewolf is not the equivalent of a Saiyan. A saiyan is a species, a werewolf is a human infected by a disease. Also, Xander transformed in his giant monkey state even here, he was not a small monkey, but a giant one.

Question 2: If this were the saga of "Angel the Vampire" it would be Angel's Saga. (Notice the comma). As it is, it's the Angels Saga, as in those Angels that are sent to convince Dawn she must believe in God and use her keyness to defeat the human evil.

Question 3: Yes.

Question 4: Xander can't hurt Raiden, whether he wants to or not. At the moment he's on the list, but it won't really stay that way.
