Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

Toriyama reacts to the finished movie: https://twitter.com/herms98/status/1536260440811941889?s=21 I can't remember him praising something so extensively. If he has his say, we should probably expect more 3D Dragon Ball. I'd rather Dragon Ball movies stick to 2D animation in the future, but if Tori...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Box Office Thread

Looks like the actual gross is in Super Hero opening weekend - ¥670 million with roughly 500,000 tickets sold. Yeah that's the lowest opening yet. Disappointing, it's almost ¥300 million lower than Resurrection F. Movie won't hit ¥3 billion it seems. It's up to the international market to rescue th...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

Opening weekend gross is ¥670 million. Lowest than Battle of Gods. Drastically lower than Resurrection F and Broly. Oof. Gotta hope word of mouth is good enough to carry the film to a respectable total in Japan. But I fear how well the movie will do internationally considering the entire film has a...

Yeah, so I watched the film by [censored] [censored] [censored] and it was okay... in a vacuum. I don't think I'll be seeing this one in theatres as they were nothing that really piqued my interest narratively or visually. That movie was kind of what I feared it would be when I heard about the tone ...

I had no idea Battle Of Gods did that well. :P

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

So... from what I have seen, regarding the leaks of some of the fight scenes and plot synopsis... it seems like Toriyama just embraced some of the memes and stereotypes that have been associated with Dragon Ball and kinda(?) included some tongue-in-cheek commentary to perhaps indicate he's in on the...

Re: Are these four main women in Dragon Ball really "just house wives"?

- Haru (Beastars) And most of these series were written either before or during the same time Dragon Ball was being published... Nice to see Beastars mentioned here on Kanz. Legosi is one of my favorite fictional characters of all time. Beastars is fantastic and is the best shonen manga I've read i...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Box Office Thread

I think it's going to be worse than both ROF and BOG, at least in Japan. Internationally, I think the movie may be redeemed, as some Dragon Ball have starved of animated content from Toriyama and may come out in droves just to watch it. But it has to be said that the promotion and marketing for this...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

The only characters that have undergone any change in DBZ are Vegeta and Piccolo, Goku only started using his Saiyan abilities after learning the truth about his origin. Almost no one in DBZ went through with our change of character or views so even there was little to change. I'm quite confused at...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

Because there's nothing to change, Goku no matter what happened would still be the same Goku, same with Bulma, Gohan, Chichi or Vegeta. It doesn't matter if it's after or before 28 TB. In Gohan's case, all he would need to do is train and balance his job with it and that's it. You... just proved my...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

Nonsense Super has repeatedly violated DBZ's status quo It was supposed to be 10 years of peace, and it turns out that more happens in those 10 years than in all of DBZ Bulma wasn't supposed to see Goku for 5 years, and most likely she didn't see him for a few months The Kaioshini were supposed to ...

Re: Are these four main women in Dragon Ball really "just house wives"?

Any examples of well written women, just so I can have an idea of who y'all are comparing Bulma to when y'all say these things. There are literally thousands of examples if we're strictly speaking of manga and/or anime in general. But for the sake of this thread, if you want my go-to list of fantas...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

I honestly think Gohan should be retired as a character entirely. If nobody (Toriayam, Toyotaro or Toei) can think of a way to develop his character organically, he should NOT be included in stories, especially as a central character. He becomes less of a character and more of a prop at this point ...

Re: Anyone else get the impression that Super is on its last legs?

I feel as though with the introduction of Pan in the latest movie, with how the manga has already introduced Oob and even had him play a small but significant role in the climax of the Galatic Patrol Prisoner arc, and with Toyotaro already making it clear he doesn't want the manga to go beyond EOZ,...
