Re: Dragonball Evolution's effect on the franchise
If they thought the movie was going to be a blockbuster movie, then why didn't they gave it a blockbuster budget?
You can have a blockbuster even with a small budget. Mortal Kombat had a budget around 30 million and it end up being a huge hit. It was #1 for three weeks, spawn a sequel and a TV ...

Re: Dragonball Evolution's effect on the franchise
It's based on a popular franchise. I think Fox was hoping that the movie would be a big hit. They spend money on toys and children books which is something that movie blockbusters have in the past decade. Not to mention they bought the rights to DB right after X-Men came out. X-Men is the reason ...

Re: Dragonball Evolution's effect on the franchise
The truth is that unless Fox wants to lose the rights to DB; they HAVE to eventually make another DB movie (just like how Constantin Film made a crappy, lunch money budgeted, live-action Fantastic Four movie in the 90s, just so they can make an EVEN MORE crappier FF movie only with an actual budget ...

Re: Dragonball Evolution's effect on the franchise
Same goes for any Special and "movie" coming out.
I would even go so as far to say ALL of 'em I think, are really just cash cow. They might sometimes offer some cool concept here and there, but ultimately they all really are just crap, as far as I remember.

Re: Dragonball Evolution's effect on the franchise
Honestly, if I were put in charge of a live-action DB movie, I would've probably still cast a white kid, only tan and I would've digitally make his eyes bigger.
I do give DBE some credit for not making the movie into a total CG fest similar to Transformers. At least the movie did had some ...

Dragon Ball Z Kai is Coming To CN SEA
Just saw the ad today on CN SEA (South East Asia), it shows footage from the Saiyan arc (specifically the "Earthlings Vs Saiyans" battle) and the OP with the FUNimation dub. It's rated PG and starts August 15th.

Re: Ever taken a break from Dragon Ball?
For the past 4 months, I took a break from Dragon Ball and completely focused on One Piece. Now after I heard that Shueisha milked Dragon Ball once again with Bardock, I'm back.

Re: Japanese popularity of Dragon Ball vs. One Piece
What's this about One Piece and Playboy? What happened? Did they have girls in it cosplay or have Nami pose for it?

There are more Kanji in use in today's Shounen Manga series than "DB".

Re: Japanese popularity of Dragon Ball vs. One Piece
Even if we compare the TV Anime rankings for both series at its highest and "DB" wins, it still wouldn't necessary means that "DB" is more popular than "One Piece" since people can easily watch "One Piece" on the internet.
But, al least we know that "One Piece" is so popular, even the Manga panels ...

Re: The All-Purpose "Translation Request" Thread
I think the "suki" part from "Gyuumasuki" means "love/like" and "taro" (IIRC) was a common name for males in ancient Japan.
