The box office numbers for Superhero being down in the UK compared to Broly, despite Superhero having more screening in general being available, don't surprise me at all. There was ZERO advertising for the movie in the UK and the screening I went to on opening day for the film in London was nearly e...

It's the same issue with Super Saiyan Rose and the complete Ultra Instinct form. The choice in the hair colour appears arbitrary and does not complement what represents the character who's undergoing the transformation or support any major themes relating to the story it's revealed in. Why did Goku...

I don't mind transformations that take a subtle approach in their aesthetic. Prime examples of this for me are Super Saiyan God and Ultra Instinct Sign. There are enough small details in how those forms look that provide them with their own identity, while also exemplifying the impact that transform...

Very unremarkable. I don't remember a single track from the soundtrack and I've seen the film twice.

Like, there's so much exciting character work they can do here but just...didn't. That's the most tragic thing about this arc for... the set-up to tell a poignant story about how self-destructive the pursuit of power can be was right there to be in an incredibly organic and efficient manner but it ...

Random and scattered thoughts of Chapter 87: - Decrepit Gas may just be the best drawing Toyotaro has ever provided for any piece of Dragon Ball media. Really sells the effects of being comprehensively defeated extremely well. - Absolutely loved the little effect of Gas decrepit skin peeling and bre...

April is probably the earliest the new series will start. For the sake of the staff I would prefer October 2023, though. If the anime was to debut in April 2023, I'd imagine an announcement well before Jump Festa this year. But honestly, if the anime is coming back next year, I'd rather it be later...

Toriyama's ability to make a moment in the narrative impactful without ever having to go over the top with imagery or dialogue. Toriyama has been a master at being able to create a poignant story and/or character beat without having the characters overexplaining themselves through exposition or usin...

A friend who loves Dragon Ball more than me caught wind of this movie and bought me a ticket to go watch it with him at the Odeon in London, so I watched the film with the English dub. My overall thoughts on the movie remain the same : It was okay... in a vacuum. I don't think I'll be seeing this on...

As bad as all this is I'm really interested in WHO exactly gave Freeza this private dimension to train in. Cooler. I'm calling it now. So I found an answer to my question and apparently Freeza found a place similar to the Room of Spirit and Time on an old planet that he conquered and trained for th...

Yes.

Break in September. Then the next arc begins in October.

Super Saiyan Blue. Rosé. Goku Black. Golden Freeza. Orange Piccolo. While I like a lot of these forms, the naming convention is getting a bit stale. It's legit a joke at this point. I wouldn't even mind if this was all done as some form of a tongue-in-cheek joke. But it's all played straight so... ...

1. Establish a sense lf identity and agency for Gas. 2. Establish Elec's downfall as a matter of his arrogance coming back to bite him. 3. Establish an immediate goal for Freeza. All of this should have happened MONTHS ago. Not in the final chapter of the arc . And as far as Freeza's new form is co...

So... this ending to the arc is literally the equivalent of "rocks fall, everyone dies"? And on top of that Freeza get another new form? Despite there being no indication that he needed to get stronger? And it's another recolour transformation? Yeah... fuck this arc. I can't help but feel ...

I don't care for Fortnite or what Dragon Ball does in terms of promotional collaborations... that being said... this is pretty fucking funny.

Yeah, comparing the marketing for Broly and Super Hero is like night and day. We saw what a push the former got in Times Square, on subways, even on the streets of London.... https://cdn.animenewsnetwork.com/hotlink/thumbnails/max300x600/cms/news.2/142659/dbp.jpg And it just about crossed $100 mill...

Movie comes out worldwide this month. I hope it can make at least $100 million. August is a dead month so it should have no competition. That would certainly blow my prediction out of the water. I can only see $70 million at absolute best. Since the movie has underperformed in Japan, I do feel conf...

I don't think most fans would really care. With how much Dragon Ball's major appeal stems from the spectacle of the martial arts rather than the characterisation of the cast, I don't think most fans would bat an eyelid if Jiren were gay as long as he provides the necessary unique contribution to the...

It's all a marketing technique. Toei have to come up with a way to sell the movie and the most convenient and practical way of doing so was to piggyback off the most successful concepts that came from the manga at the time (e.g. legendary Super Saiyan, Freeza's family, the Red Ribbon Army androids, ...
