The very short teaser — which debuted at last week’s Saikyō V-Jump Festa during the Dragon Ball Heroes panel — for next year’s new Dragon Ball Z animated movie in Japan made its way to Fuji TV this morning:
The news segment notes how this is the first new movie in seventeen years, following-up on the 10th anniversary movie for the franchise back in 1996. However, it also perpetuates the misunderstanding that the film is intended to fill the gap between Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT, rather than the ten years between Boo and the final Z story arc. We will keep an eye out for anything else that comes our way! Thanks to kei17 for the heads-up.
UPDATE: The trailer was later added for freely-available viewing on the movie’s official website.

Is the background 3D cel-shaded or something? It looks awesome anyway 🙂
The best Dragon Ball thing I’ve seen since the end of the manga. AMAZING! That background, Son Goku’s face and movements…I have no words, this is gonna be huge.
If I didn’t know that this takes place post-Buu, I’d have such a “saiyajin arc” vibe from this trailer. XD Smirking base form Goku, the gi, the high cliffs around him. It’s got a good feeling to it. :3
I’m replaying and replaying, I can’t believe how good this looks! 😀
Stoked, thank you Kazenshuu, kei17 & 3JIbob!
I think that Goku is cel-shaded CGI when we see him from a distance, and then when a pillar passes in front of the “camera” it switches to hand drawn animation.
@liamkav That’s what I was thinking. Clever how they did that. That quick glimpse of him behind looked awesome.
This is such an awesome teaser trailer 😀
It does look kinda like what they do for Pokémon movie teaser trailers
At the end of the trailer I only needed this…
