Nice! I'm 21 and from Surrey but I'm at uni in Stafford so I'm only a short train away from Birmingham. From reading the thread, seems we got a fair few people in the midlands area!

That would be cool. I'd love to be in a screening with a room full of DBZ fans...dream! Closest I've got to that is the 10 people in the screening of Dragonball Evolution :lol:

I'd feel disappointed if I went to like London, Scotland or somewhere and came back without talking to any other fans who'd made the effort to get to the screening! Birmingham seems to be a popular location for it... seen a few fans now saying they're from that area and would love a screening there.

I'm 21 anyway, but live in South Shields, near Newcastle. Quite happy to travel a bit to see it though if I have to. In all honesty I'd probably face a struggle getting a friend to come with me.

Well, that's cool! We're all similar ages then. I imagine we could easily get a good group together for a screening. Just need some dates now!

Well, I feel like a Granddad compared to you guys at 28, but I'm in Birmingham too. Depending on what date the showings fall on, I'll be up for meeting up if you don't mind an old geezer tagging along. :lol:

I'm 21 and from Nottingham, currently studying at university in Sheffield though. So yeah, I'd go and see it if a group of people set something up, I kinda don't have any friends that'd see it with me :oops:

Soo hyped about this announcement!

I am 21 from London and studying at Brunel university, hopefully there is a fan meet up nearby ^.^

Sweet. Everyone is more or less the same age here :)

Guys, I can get cheap airplane tickets for Liverpool or London Stanstead... Would be cool to go with Kanzenshuuers if I do fly out there.

Amazing news! I'll definitely see if I can make it to one of the screenings if my work/study schedule permits!

If there's something in Manchester, then that's really easy for me to get to.

It'd be pretty cool to meet up with some forum members on here. It'd be awesome if they have a showing somewhere near Stoke-On-Trent since I'll be moving back there in September (Which will be weird moving back and not being a Uni student any more) but if not, hopefully there will be a showing in Birmingham (Hopefully at the IMAX).

To be honest, as a 24 year old I expected that most people would be younger than me, but I know for a fact that there's a lot of older UK fans on here too.

I'm 21 and living in York. I'd be happy to meet up with anyone going to a screening that's not too far away.

26 Year old West Londoner, reporting for duty. I'd be up for a meetup for a viewing of the film. Here's hoping that the IMAX version get brought over here, how awesome would that be?!

I'm 24 living in London but wouldn't watch it in a theatre as they'd probably play the dub rather than a subtitled version, I ain't much of excited to see Battle of Gods which is why I'm still waiting for FUNimation to release the damn thing on Blu-ray. I honestly don't trust Manga UK to release high quality products because their ones tend to be inferior in some technical aspect or another compared to the original source they got it from.

Like for example, Sword Art Online the US Blu-rays have better picture quality than the UK BDs.

By the way, with the price of PS3s lowering it's a good way to make a Region Free Blu-ray Player out of it.

Okay it's time to speculate!
MangaUK done a similar theatrical run last year for Wolf Children (Which was out on BD/DVD Dec 23 2013) and here were the dates/showings:
http://www.mangauk.com/post.php?p=wolf- ... reenings-2 and the ranged from late- October to early November.
Assuming they use this similar model, nearest showing to me would be in Nottingham/Leicester. That's not too bad, and they did say they're not going to crazy for the theatrical run.
So, what do you guys think?

I'd imagine they'd go a little farther for something as popular as Dragon Ball. However, if they do happen to come out with similar listings, I'd be at the London showing without a doubt. It's the most convenient for me plus the Rex cinema is beautiful.

Yeah, I was thinking that too, hopefully they can add a few more in the Midlands area, then that would be perfect!
