So... How was it?
Well this was the big night, wasn't it? If anyone who knows (or is) Japanese, can you tell me what the big DBAF premier was like? Any clues as to why Trunks has totally lost it? How powerful is SS5, or do we not know yet? Why is Vegeta going to fuse with Trunks if Trunks is evil?
I'm anxious to hear...

Re: So... How was it?
Totally awesome. The new intro is the best Dragonball intro yet. Look forward to it. It shows various great scenes from DB and DBZ, but remade with flashy effects and CGI. (Like Raditz' getting hit by Piccolo's Makakosappo, Gohan going SSJ2, Freeza reaching form 4, Goku battling Yamucha in episode 5, ect.) It's beautiful. (The new ending theme is decent. Nothing really special). As for the plot... Well, nothing really happened in this episode. There's the usual "family life" scenes at the beginning, then Trunks appears and goes crazy. It ends with Gohan confronting Trunks. Definitly better than GT.johnboy1 wrote:Well this was the big night, wasn't it?

No, not yet. It will. The next episode is entitled "Corrupt Super Warrior! The fate of Future Trunks!!" (or something like that), so it will probably reveal it.johnboy1 wrote:Any clues as to why Trunks has totally lost it?
Not yet. No SSJ form has even been mentoined yet.johnboy1 wrote: How powerful is SS5, or do we not know yet?
Vegeta has barely appeared. He doesn't even know of Trunks' arrival yet. So we don't know.johnboy1 wrote: Why is Vegeta going to fuse with Trunks if Trunks is evil?
Oh yeh, but we soon learn what drove Trunks insane - Baby appeared in his time line and Trunks is trying to fight Baby inside of him, but is losing, and yeh, he becomes all evil and stuff!
How do I know this? Cuz my uncle works for Toei!

I'm still waiting on my source to send me the episode. I do have ONE screen-shot they took for me (of Shenlong, no less!) later this evening when I get home (at work right now). It's pretty sweet looking.

Adamant forgot to mention that some of the actual effects IN the show are CGI as well. Frigging sweet. ^_^ They only showed a few during a the short spar between Goku and Gohan at the start, just a few lighting things with the auras...

<Xyex> Original Freeza never sounded like a chick to me.
<Kaboom> Neither does Rita
<Xyex> Good point.

Yes it was a good episode to behold, personally I enjoyed the appearance of Bardok in the first 5 mionuets as a ghost to warn Goku that an evil force approaches and that he must be careful, he seemed to imply Trunks killed him too....how far back in time did the crazy bastard go before settliugn here, we may never know.

Here's the one shot I've gotten of Shenlong thus far. Remember, the show's widescreen. It's at 75% of the original size (640x360), but I kept it in the correct aspect ratio.

I just got word from my uncle (FUNi translator), they're getting DBAF after 'season one' finishes up in Japan. And, well, they also got all the scripts and stuff and I asked him to tell me anything I thought would be sweet... Turns out Pan FINALLY goes SSJ! ^__^

Today's the ninth ^^.April 1st Update wrote:Staring back at me from the cubbyhole was a print ad for DBAF. This ad informs us that the series will indeed continue, and it is slated to start its run in Japan on 8 September (that's a Wednesday), at 7:30 pm (right after the news). There will be a TV preview prior to that on 25 August. This ad also contains a message from Akira Toriyama, in which he says that although he isn't making a new manga, he will be helping out a little with character design and story direction work. Mostly, though, he says that he is confident that the TV show will be handled properly, and wants us all to watch it!!!
