DB Movie 1, BoG, and DB Movie 3.

The first wins cause screw F, BoG is the best movie the franchise has made period and while I like Z movie 13 I think that Mystical Adventure remains a fantastic example how you can mix up the established lore and create something just as good if not better. If DB ever gets rebooted or retold, that's the thing that should be used as a basis for how you do it.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

Hey guys OP here. Thanks for all the feedback. I read all the replies and I'm going to ask that if I'm a certain match you haven't seen both, please don't vote.

However I HIGHLY! HIGHLY! suggest you watch the movies you haven't seen yet. Even in the worst ones, i feel there's always at least ONE thing in every movie that you'll enjoy. as a fan. Or don't :P

Anyway. Just so people know where I stand, I separate the movies into 3 tiers: There's good DB movies(DB2, DB3, DBZ1,DBZ2,DBZ9,BOG), Bad DB movies(DBZ4,DBZ6,DBZ7,DBZ10) and meh DB movies (the rest). Also, I'm not going to change the results to fit my preference. I hope that goes without saying. But if Bo) gets last and DBZ 7 wins, I won't stand in the way :p

Also, is there any interest in seeing a graphic of the bracket?

Resurrection F - The two most recent movies are by far the best produced in the franchise, so they're going to 'beat out just about every other theatrical entry they could be placed against. Even Resurrection F, the lesser of the two, is a really fun, flashy movie with a script you can tell came from Toriyama. It's filled with great character interactions. Could have done more, but I like what we got.

Battle of Gods - Simply one of the best Dragon Ball things of all time. Before it was used a springboard for new serialized material, it operated beautifully as a fun one-off and poignant epilogue to the series.

DBZ Movie 13 - I'm not in love with this one, but it has excellent animation, a fleshed-out plot compared to other Z movies, and an interesting angle for a villain with Hirudegarn's kaiju shtick. Dragon Ball Movie 3 is my least favorite of the three, though I'd still place it above many of the Z movies. Just not this one.

It's rather unfortunate that the three Dragon Ball movies were paired against three of the strongest in the franchise for this initial round of voting. They'd beat just about anything else in my book.

Even Bio-Broly :wtf: :shock: :x ?

I think a list would be enough but if you have time for more then why not.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

I'd love to see a bracket graphic, it'd have a fun flare to it.

The rule as far as whether you've seen it or not won't affect me, I've seen all of the movies and specials out there, but it does bother me because this is a bracket situation.

What if say Battle of Gods is your absolute favorite movie (as it is for me), but you haven't seen DB movie 1 as is the case for the reason this got brought up (I still have a VHS for it and the later released DVD so this isn't for me as said above). How is it fair to tell someone they can't support their favorite because they haven't seen all of the films?

Well it's also unfair to have someone's vote cancelled out by someone who hasn't seen the other films.

But this is a way to find out people's favorites so eventually the films that are the most popular will be the ones at the end. So you can always support your favorite film there! :D

Also voting ends at midnight.

It's totally not unfair for someone to have their vote 'cancelled out' - they made their vote of what they prefer, and so does someone else. The concept of vote cancelling out just seems really silly to me, it's a fan poll, there's going to be lots of vote 'canceling out' going on. I stand by my statement that it's really silly to expect absolutely everyone to have seen all of the movies. Many of us HAVE, but not everyone is going to, so do you want the picks of the Kanzenshuu community, or only the picks of a subsection of Kanzenshuu that have seen absolutely everything?

Movie 12 - Awesome movie in general. It also presents us with the most badass villain, design and techniques-wise.
Movie 14 - Battle of Gods introduces the Multiverse concept into Dragon Ball lore. Do I need to say more?
Movie 4 (Dragon Ball) - Such a cool retelling, Toei should learn from that movie how to retell something... If you know what I mean. :roll:

I'm thinking the last two posters didn't catch the rules of this particular thread and how it differs from some of the other "favorite" threads that have been going around. This functions as a tournament bracket, where the original poster has listed three pairs of movies and are asking you to choose a winner from each of those brackets.
Do you follow the most comprehensive and entertaining Dragon Ball analysis series on YouTube? If you do, you're smart and awesome and fairly attractive. If not, see what all the fuss is about without even having to leave Kanzenshuu:

Oh, I'm deeply sorry.

DB Movie 1 vs RoF - Two extremely horrible movies, but I'll stick with Movie 1 because Movie 15 manages to be even worse.
DB Movie 2 vs BoG - Movie 14, no doubt.
DB Movie 3 vs DBZ Movie 13 AKA Wrath of the Dragon - Movie 13.

Same difference.

Resurrection 'F' VS Battle of Gods- Resurrection 'F'

I explained my reasoning earlier. I won't be voting on the others because apparently that's not allowed. I still agree strongly and wholeheartedly with what laserkid wrote:
It's really silly to expect absolutely everyone to have seen all of the movies. Many of us HAVE, but not everyone is going to, so do you want the picks of the Kanzenshuu community, or only the picks of a subsection of Kanzenshuu that have seen absolutely everything?
