Just an observation I made with the Advance Screenings trailer. It seems they changed some of the dialogue for the Japanese perception.

Example:
Goku: Cool
Goku [original]: Yarune
Goku [revised]: Sugoi

Piccolo also has revised subtitles for his 'with this Dragonball' speech. There's probably more, and it's not particularly important, but just a quick observation I made.

I tried looking it up, but I couldn't find a thing. What's "yarune" mean?

Ah, that's not so bad. :P

Or is it actually that bad, and I've just been desensitised to stuff like that on the internet? :?

"Yaru ne" is やる with the ending particle ね. "Yaru" is a rather slang version of "ii" (いい) and can be used in several similar contexts. Basically, "not bad," "pretty good," or "cool."

Thank you so much! :3

I've heard Goku use "sugoi" (though, I think Ms. Nozawa's Goku pronounces it rather Goku-ishly; "sugee" or "sugei" I think? I could be wrong.) before, but not yaru ne; so I guess that means it was a good change on the part of the captioning crew.

I heard Goku use an honorific once.

I don't think it's that bad either. I mean, maybe if it were full-size and more detailed...but frankly, it's just a stupid and unfunny meme way more than it is anything objectionable.

Well, click on it again for the full sized image, if all you saw was the rows of tiny images. :P

MSN Messenger will be getting a Dragonball skin for the film.
If challenge had a taste, you'd be quite delicious.

I don't know one person that uses MSN messenger. Anyway, I'm pretty sure DragonBall Evolution will only end up around 3rd or 4th at the box office opening weekend here in the US. "Observe and Report", the new Seth Rogen comedy is as sure to blow it out of the water as Hannah is.

They outright said that Nappa WOULD die in that episode. So obviously, you're saying that it really won't fail.

So...I'm glad we agree. :)

AND HEY I USE MSN MESSENGER.

I heard that Mike used it as well. But maybe that's just an old "Daizex Folktale"...

Anyway, I don't think we'll beat out Hannah Montana, but I'm pretty sure we should do well enough to be up with the Seth film and the other one.

It really does not matter. Fox obviously does not care about domestic earnings. It's all about earnings in Asia, France, the U.K., and so on.

It's a smart move because there's more fans there, but also a shitty move for fans here in North America.

The movie will premiere March 10th in Japan. The cast and crew will be there and everything, so I hope we see actual English promotion in Asia... but I doubt it.

They'll most likely show up during the month of its release.
