I mean...no anime movie should be costing $200 million to make anyways. For comparison sake, DBS Broly's budget is reported to be only around 8 million. Demon Slayer: Mugen Train is about 14mill. I imagine that the budget for Super Hero is somewhere between there, or slightly lower than Broly.
Give the extra $192,000,000 to the animation staff.
and bankrupt TOEI, I guess.
Welp, time for a better anime studio to rise from the ashes :D
Considering how much money they've stolen fron their staff over the years...*shrugs*

The animation looks like a mix of Toriyama's Kanzenban covers' art from the 2000's, FighterZ and the Berserk Golden Age arc movies. I like it.

Before the trailers I was expecting this to be full CGI like that "DBZ: The Real 4D" animation shown in Japan, which I also liked. I don't see the big deal with having a CG DB movie. It is quite obvious this is something being done just for this movie, and all future DB anime will remain 2D as always (be it Super season 2 or any new movies).

I'm just glad we're having a new movie after 3 years since Broly and 4 since the end of Super.

As for the plot, the new RRA reminds me of DB Online, which is great (if only we could ever get a DBO series :cry: )

This is looking to be much more like a slice of life BoG kind of movie than like RoF or Broly. Hopefully this time the fight scenes will be longer than Goku vs Beerus' 17 minutes rushed fight.

This movie has any songs? I feel that when Broly was this close of release we already heard all the music of the movie or at least the full version of Blizzard...

They announced Blizzard on 24 October 2018. Less than a month before release of the film.

I just hope they give us something soon, a trailer, music, anything please!

Why is this obvious?

Why is this obvious?
It's not exactly obvious or guaranteed but the usual suspects being absent (Sumitomo, Shintani) and Toei having a busy schedule with other anime series coincidentally ending around the same time seems to point toward 2per returning in 2d format once the animators are free. The movie is probably a way to generate brand hype for the eventual return.

Guess folks were right in thinking Pan would be kidnapped... To think some originality could come out of it. Plot does seem to be as thin as a paper as always, but still looking forward to at least see some characters with new designs and looking older!

Oh the hype is gonna get real now!
I wonder if Pan will pull a "LEAVE MY FATHER ALONE" a la Raditz/Dead Zone on one of those Red Ribbon tools...

For sure, and this is what the website says: "よく見ると、ピッコロの様子がいつもと違う…!?"

I think they are teasing Piccolo will have Ultimate or a new form.

If that is true, it would be a good strokin' for the Piccolo fans (like myself, admittedly :shifty: )

I had to consult the geniuses from Twitter to notice if there's any difference, and voilà, Piccolo has black lines in his arms, but if you look at the poster, he doesn't have any. We actually do see Piccolo transforming into it in the trailer. So I think it's pretty much confirmed Piccolo has his a new transformation! :D Not even Dragon Ball Heroes did that for him, but hopefully this inspires them to give Piccolo at least the red-eyed form.

By the way, they are calling it "潜在能力解放", a common alternative name for "Ultimate" (used by Dimps and their games), "Potential Released/Unleashed"

Would be odd for Piccolo to get the form without the Elder Kai's ritual, but it's not like it would be the first time someone has found an alternate route to power. Vegeta got God power without the Super Saiyan God ritual, after all. Wonder what Red Ribbon has in that metal sphere. Some secret weapon, I expect. Maybe they'll collecting data from the battles to feed to whatever is in there.

His belt changes to Black as well.

My god, I have been waiting over 25 years for him to get a new form.

Maybe Piccolo throws Dr. Hedo into it and turns him into some giant monster that tries to kill Pan, and then Gohan gets a rage boost and beats the fuck out of the grotesque doctor
