I notice no one really cares about Kuririn lately. That's a nice change. Honestly, I think he will be in the sequel, but I don't care...

I personally don't think Jamie Chung is that attractive. I mean, she's pretty and all...but after seeing her be a slut on "The Real World" and those mugshots...yeah, I'm good, no thanks.

I'm one of those guys who gets really annoyed when pretty girls just act like idiots.


Anyway, the acting doesn't help the "not-in-a-good-way" cheeziness of the scenes. The scene when he first meets her in the hallway is good("Hey, I'm having a party tonight and-" "I'll be there!"), but it's basically all cliche' teenage romance.

I don't know what everyone hates so much about Yamcha in the movie... He was meant to be mostly comedy relief, and in a slapstick way not too dissimilar to his original self. What's wrong with that?

She's what we in the business like to call a "butter face", as in "everything is good but 'er face".

It was the acting, definitely the acting.

I think Emmy Rossum is more attractive. But none of them are THAT great.

-An IN-CHARACTER Son Goku. (I cannot stress this enough.)
-Higher-quality, non-gassy-looking ki.
-More battles, and battles that last longer than a measly 5 minutes.



That's it. That's my baseline. There are loads of additional things I'd like to ask for, but those are my top 3 "Things I want Most" for Reborn--which I am convinced will have its title changed at least once before the movie comes out ala Evolution.
I think you may only get one of those and if all three come to past then I will be upset, yet the thought of a live action Vegeta aligned with a Kakarrot/“Goku” I actually like would make me make me be found of the film nonetheless.

Hey, you never know. They could completely retool the whole thing for all they care and ignore DBE's mythos altogether. (And in an ironic twist have it still ignore a good chunk of the original manga as well.) I have my own hopes and wishes--as partially stated in my above quote--but for now nearly everything we say about the sequel (if is indeed created to begin with) is pure speculation.


Until a legitimate news source pops up saying "We've got the final completed script for DBR and here's what's inside!" we're all right back at square one just as we were in early-mid 2007.

The torchlight scene was simply bad. It would be bad in any film, with any characters, within any context. I can handle Live Action Goku liking ChiChi, to an extent.

But I think they went too far for Goku near the beginning of the film, and by the end? They crossed the line of what wasn't groan-worthy for ANY character and kept running.

Oh geez. I have a thing for Brunettes. But Emmy Rossum just doesn't do it for me. I don't find her attractive at all. Maybe it's because of her acting, I don't know. But I really don't like her.

I thought Mai was the best looking of all the girls in the movie. It was probably the bangs. Gotta love bangs.

Amazon.com has put up some cover art (?) to go along with the DVD listing...

I don't know if it's final or not but hey, it just might be.

Dude you crack me up, you need your own Dragonball related standup act. :lol:

Agreed, I thought she was mediocre at best.

The logo's just a tiny bit sloppy (really? You couldn't just overlay it on Master Roshi, you had to make its own sky with a jarring cut?), but it looks pretty awesome other than that.
[quote="Brakus"]For all the flack that FUNimation gets on this forum for their quote about DBZ, there's some modicum of truth to it: a 9-year-old is born every day. Or in some cases, "reborn". DBZ may be a kids' show, but it's been so close to so many hearts all over Japan, America, and quite possibly, even the world.[/quote]

Well, I think Jaime Chung is hot, I have a thing for Asian girls so that helps her a lot. I thought Eriko was pretty decent as well, not a huge fan of Emmy although she is pretty.

I want a live action blond lunch, Hottest DB girl IMO.

I found the actresses to be cute or just really pretty. I wouldn't go as far and say they were hot. I find older more mature actresses to be a lot sexier then most of the young ones today. So if there is a squeal were Jamie Chung plays a much older and motherly Chichi I'll be all over dat fine piece o' ass!
