Sasuke Toriyama is a great name.
A world without Dragon Ball is just meh.

To me, that just sounds like a quality assurance position. Basically traveling to Toei's office (since Toriyama won't), looking at the work in progress, and saying things like "my father wouldn't like this", etc.

Just got mine! Seeing it subtitled at the Alamo Drafthouse on Thursday and seeing the dub on Sunday.

DBS: Super Hero has been rated PG-13 in the United States. First DB movie to get that rating in the USA.
Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.

Apparently, it looks like screenings of the Japanese version is limited to one per evening after 10pm in Toronto, Canada. Kinda sucks cuz public transportation is a bitch after 12am. Imax screenings no good either. Most of the imax screenings are in the lieMAX theatres. Think I'll just settle for the English dubbed UltraAVX screening near my place instead. It is what it is. 😩

Surprising. I wouldn't have said Super Hero was more deserving of that than the last two movies. It was as light hearted as Battle of Gods it seemed.

There were a lot of deaths in Resurrection F.

Beast Gohan sounds cool in paper, but design-wise still very lackluster for me. It mimics Gohan's most hyped transformation, but recolored with a stupid big hair length.
Like someone have said before: people working in the project might have thought it looked stupid too, but didn't have the balls to say to the man himself like his directors did it in the past when the original manga was in serialization.

It doesn't take balls too tell someone who is new too the business not to do something.

I just want Beast Gohan in DB Legends to see how much of phone's screen space will be taken by the gigantic hair :lol:

Honestly, I think if you made Beast Gohan retain Ultimate Gohan's black hair and reduced the grown length down a bit (while still being noticeably more than Ultimate), you'd have a better design.

Honestly, I'd just keep the hair the same size as Ultimate's. Everything else can change, and I'd be okay with it. The hair size is really killing me.

Been saying for years now that the new forms should just change the eye color and aura. Expression/demeanor changes are also welcome and I wouldn't mind subtle changes to hair color occasionally like streaks, energized strands, or highlights. The best parts of Orange Piccolo and Gohan beast are the red eyes, demeanor changes, and in the case of Piccolo, THE GAINS.
Big fan of the characters of Dragon Ball, all of them, especially formerly prominent sub-characters. -__-

What the fuck is going on?

The English version comes out in under 10 days from now, and the promotion for this film is still virtually nonexistent.

I have friends that are fans of Dragonball who aren’t hardcore but enjoy the series who don’t even know the film is coming out until I show them. Like the marketing for this film vs Broly is so incomparable it’s mind boggling.

The sad part is the film is good, but it’s like the effort on the part of Toei is very noticeable. It’s unfair to compare the box office numbers between modern dragonball movies with such an abysmal marketing campaign this time around.

It's true that I have noticed that besides the niche public on sites like here or Anime News Network, marketing is virtually non-existant.

Maybe the advertising is just really targeted? Literally every time I've opened Twitter for the past month, I've see a sponsored DBS:SH ad from Crunchyroll. They also had a trailer before Thor: Love and Thunder. I forget what DBS:Broly advertising was like...can anyone remind me?

All I remember from back in 2019 was ads of Gogeta Blue fighting Broly, saying "THE MIGHTIEST VS MIGHTIEST". I was super hyped for the movie thanks to these ads on Cartoon Network.

Toei would rather release One Piece Film: Red over Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero in Hong Kong and Taiwan. That's how bad it's gotten.

Like literally, One Piece: Red gets a release date very close to its Japanese theatrical release over there while Dragon Ball gets a late September release. Why?!

not only that but Toei premired Red film the SAME DAY(August 6) in FRANCE, super hero didnt get that either. I think they didnt have enough faith in this movie, another thing when a franchise movie earns less domestically its a sign that franchise is running out of steam or didnt popular enough anymore so even though broly movie was a massive success it was not good revenue wise domestically check this out -Why domestic box office is more important https://www.reddit.com/r/boxoffice/comm ... n_foreign/
