Here here! Otherwise we'd all be talking at Pokemon and Inu Yasha forums right now.

I was definitely into to DB before it's popularity hit. And anyway why can't I enjoy my DB and my Escaflowne or Cowby Bebop at the same time? What's wrong with that? That's why I stopped reading Animerica, although they do a good job, they're some of the biggest anime snobs at times. The other reason being that you tend to evolve beyond the magazine after a couple of years. I just stick with Protoculture Addicts. And hey they're Canadian! Not that that really matters. And don't be hard on Inu-Yasha and Pokemon. I especially have affection Pokemon.

I used to like the Pokemon anime, atleast the first 2 seasons. But really after that, it just got pretty stupid. It really is just a cheap marketing tool to sell their merchandise & video games.

I agree with you Dues that after about 150 episodes, it definitely becomes rehashing and it is a lot about marketing. But I find that at least Pokemon has both strong male and female characters and actually teaches nice morals.

My only hope is if and when the dbz movie is made it might spur a new toei anime, since there maybe a market for it. I WANT MORE!!! DRAGONBALL!!! I've seen it all but the last 3 GT episodes and I CAN'T GET ENOUGH!!!

But I'm not doing jumping jacks over this movie....i saw the live action.......Street Fighter

The Street Fighter movie, along with Double Dragon, that was just plain "wrong".

Yeah, those were all over the place. Thank God For Street Fighter 2 V....Thanks God!

I just remembered, Super Mario Bros.! That was really, really wrong!

Street Fighter 2 V just kept stretching the plot after about volume 3 or 4. Street Fighter Alpha and Street Fighter 2 the movies! Now THOSE were some good SF animes!

OOH! OHH! How about Final Fantasy and Dungeons and Dragons?

Wait, wait... you DIDN'T like Street Fighter II V, but you DID like Street Fighter Zero/Alpha... ?

W... T... F...?!

Point. What am I saying I like the last 15 second scene of Ryu vs Akuma better than 3-4 whole volumes of SFV??

Oh well. I got SF Alpha for free so...

I'm the only one who like the Final Fantasy movie

i didn't see D and D. I really like the Street Fighter Anime Movies, I havent seen Alpha, but I really love V and Street Fighter 2! I'd give V the edge though.

Anyone ever see the REAL live action Dragonball movie from Hong Kong, Dragonball The Magic Begins. I bet I'm the only one here who likes that. (Curls into fetal possition a waiting blows) I loved it, it was a little different but the spirit was there and the music was there. It just wasnt a total adaptation of Dragonball, but
I didnt see Toei's name anywhere, or Tori's so I think they had to stretch it a little for legal reasons maybe. They couldn't even say Dragonballs it was Dragon Pearls. But all the Dragonball fun was there, and the music was great, and the story was fun.

Regardless of how many people do not like a particular movie or series, there are always a few that will like it, so don't worry about it. I haven't really seen the whole Final Fantasy movie from start to finish. I have only seen a few parts. I'm just not interested in seeing it.

As for the live Dragon Ball movie, I haven't seen that either, but I will see if I can find information and pictures on it, and post them here.

Ah Manga Ka Kyo!, you like CHA-LA HEAD CHA-LA too!!! That song cracks me up. But anyways... yes I agree with most of you that the DBZ movie will kind of ruin things for Dragonball Z. The only thing I can hope for is that the actors get the characters down well. I mean it's hard to believe Goldberg sits down and watches DBZ every night.... lol. But hey if it does come out I'll have to see it because it IS Dragonball Z.

Manga Ka Kyo! · Post by **Manga Ka Kyo!** » Sat Jan 24, 2004 4:51 pm

Yeah, Cha La is awsome on every consevable level!!! Lyrics, Music, and Sound!!! It' the best!

I have some info. on Dragonball the magic begins, I've seen it. It's about Goku (called monkey boy) trying to resuce Gohan (Grandfather, who is alive) from a villian named King Horn (like an evil serious Pilaf). Bulma, Oolong (a chubby Chineese guy), Yamcha, Kame Sennin and Puar (a parrot in this movie, and all the charcters have generic names) help goku beat king horn and get the Dragon Pearls. The High flying kung fu and energetic Chineese pop music is awsome! Some may laugh at the speacil effects, but they get the job done

Check international channels web site, its on there sometimes durring their kung fu movie blocks. thats where i saw it.

heres an idiotic review for it, but you can hear some of the movies music, and see pictures.

I read on the IMDb that people think that Brandon Lee, the guy from "The Crow", would be a good actor for the part of Goku if the movie would be made. Do any of you think that if he was still alive today he would a good actor for this movie?

Deus ex Machina · Post by **Deus ex Machina** » Sat Jan 24, 2004 8:30 pm

Nah, Brandon Lee would've made a better Mystic Gohan. I could just see him jumping at that role. Damn you faulty shotgun prop...

Here is some information I found about the 1989 movie. Enjoy.

I'll try to find more.

rockman, did you see my links, they have a lot about the movie, even a sample song when Kame Sennin does a funny dance. I guess its hard for anyone but Dragonball/ anime/ kung fu fans to like it.
