It takes some liberties with the material, but I think it's a lot of fun, if given a chance. Also post credits scene

I remember seeing when this was first announced. This was masterful.

Re: Completed Animated Film - LEGEND - A DRAGON BALL TALE
I saw the teaser for this a few years ago and was blown away by it. This is probably the best fan animation I’ve seen for this franchise.
Also, Super Saiyan just looks so much cooler when they keep their tails.

Nice one. Also, Vegeta does the Kamehameha. Yes, that's what surprised me the most, even amongst all the other oddities.

Re: Completed Animated Film - LEGEND - A DRAGON BALL TALE
The animation and style are absolutely incredible. Like, holy moly, I'm blown away. I can't wait to see what these guys do next. Unlike other fan animated projects, the voice acting is pretty solid, too.
Like other fan projects...the story and characterization is so off that...why even make it Dragon Ball? For this amount of effort and quality, why not just create a unique martial arts story? I guess it's a good way to get eyes on the project, at least.

imho, characters were rearranged, but there was enough of the original character's personality and setting that it's still Dragonball, just a remixed version. Like an AU. Does seem like some time travel/multiverse shenanigans are happening.batistabus wrote: ↑Thu Jul 07, 2022 12:59 pm Like other fan projects...the story and characterization is so off that...why even make it Dragon Ball?

It melds DBZ's hyper kinetic action with the chinese mythology of original Dragon Ball. I fucking love this.

Re: Completed Animated Film - LEGEND - A DRAGON BALL TALE
Eh, some characters are closer than others. That's fine and works as an AU fan interpretation. My intent is not to criticize, but instead to advocate for them to create their own production they can take full ownership of.FoolsGil wrote: ↑Thu Jul 07, 2022 1:16 pmimho, characters were rearranged, but there was enough of the original character's personality and setting that it's still Dragonball, just a remixed version.

Either way, I'd be happy to see these guys work on a future official Dragon Ball work.

A wonderful action fanwork. Great animation and fighting, the characters were faithful enough in both art and character, and the new stuff was acceptable enough (Vegeta and Broly appearing at the tournament between Goku and Chi-Chi, Super Saiyan Ghost Rider VFX and tail). This crew did spectacular work IMO.
I only wish it could have been a bit funnier. But it was great enough.

Re: Completed Animated Film - LEGEND - A DRAGON BALL TALE
The artstyle is lovely and the animation is the best I saw this year!
The Sun Wukong transformation was beautiful and better than most forms we've been having lately. Considering Goku character roots, I would love Toriyama to pull off something like that. Unfortunately feels like with him we are stuck with recolors.

A world without Dragon Ball is just meh.

Re: Completed Animated Film - LEGEND - A DRAGON BALL TALE
I think it's the best we could realistically expect from a fan film, that is, for an 11 minute feature with no budget, just passion and creativity it's damn near flawless.
The art is gorgeous, animation is incredibly smooth and fluid, all while feeling very retro but in a way that's made for the modern age.
The logos and graphics were quite creative too, the former especially is quite professional looking.
Not much to say on the story since it's so short, and but for a retelling of events from both OG Dragon Ball and Z in a new way the writing was very concise and effective.
Voice acting is on point, Jordan Woollen sounds good as Goku, clearly inspired by Schemmel, his Vegeta is quite mature sounding, which is fine as this is a retelling, Elsie Lovelock was brilliant as Chi-Chi, Jason Alexander Sukhram was what you would expect from Broly given his role.
The fan service was nice, got to love and
I'm going to give Legend : A Dragon Ball Tale a 9/10. Great job from Naseer Pasha and everyone at Stray Dog Animation Studio. Hopefully they get to do more like this in the future.
