Honestly I wish Toriyama drew those in his older style (to the end of the manga) but oh well :(

Also, made a tribute to Toriyama and the movie. Hope y'all like

Awesome, though you made Goku too buff. The SSJ God form is pretty skinny.

Re: How long do Japanese movies run in cinemas?

Post by Hellspawn28 » Fri Apr 12, 2013 6:13 pm

Six months is a while though.
Most movies take 5 or 6 months to come out in Japan. For example, Ultraman Saga came out March 24, 2012 and it was released on home video last September. Movie War Ultimatum is also set to be out by this May and the movie was released last December. Before you know it, it will be September and the movie will be ours :) .

That, and the posing is kinda awkward. I'd put Goku's head going the other way, and maybe put the upper body a little further to the right, so it looks more aligned with the legs.

Curious to see how this movie will hold up over time. Will we re-visit it in about 5 years and realize that it actually sucks?

I hope not, but you never know.

The reviews for the movie are pretty good. If the movie sucked then we would have flame wars by now on if the movie was really that bad or not.

Yeah, Whis says Beers slept in too much, so he made a new God of Destruction.

Cell gets referred to as a "god of destruction" in one of the episode titles, as I recall.

As far as we know, somewhere in the Living Realm. That's all that has been said...
His divine battle power can't be detected by ordinary people anyway so it doesn't really matter. It could just be anywhere.

The Movie Guide does say his palace is in the universe as opposed to the afterlife, so there's that at least.

Re: ssjg Goku's arms

The slimness of his arms in the movie is something I've never seen on any of his other forms; I was looking at ssjg vs base and the differences--especially with the lower part of his arms--are startling. It's not even the same as 23rd Tenkaichi Budoukai Goku's leftover-baby-fat arms.

Apparently. Unless Bulma left Bra with a babysitter somewhere and no one feels the need to mention her...?

Hey, I'm already thinking that. :P
I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!

I'm finding it difficult to even think of sequels; not to mention retrospectives 5 years from now.

This is mostly because I haven't gotten to see BOG yet and I still really want to watch it. *_*

Soppa Saiyjins from Dorgou Ballru Zetto is my favorite transformation everah, especially when Trounksoru did it in front of Seru and when Bejita did it when he faced Jingonigen-hachigo. But for real, I use the FUNi pronunciation. - Soppa Saia People

Well they looked around the same, age-wise (plus ou minus one year at most).

It's only in the Daizenshuu that they suggested Pan is quite younger than Bra. Battle of Gods tells us Pan is older, so one can only assume that Daizenshuu is incorrect.

Daizenshuu has two dates: In one section, Pan is older than Bra, while in another, Bra is older than Pan. GT Perfect Files has Pan older than Bra, and BoG does the same, so Pan is older.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

The daizenshuu were compiled by an outside company that had access to most of the original material, and although Toriyama had minimal involvement, determining the accuracy and legitimacy of said content, on what medium, one can only assume.
