"Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans" Official Discussion

[KaiserNeko]

idk what to tell ya.....the one i watched said "Goku" guess there's different subs? Different systems different subs?

No, one dude on the internet subbing it himself, I think.

[Chibi Mystic Gohan]

I don't actually have a PS3/Xbox 360, so I admit that I watched it on Youtube, but it seems that I was watching the officially subtitled version.

[Zionist]

Well I watched it on Youtube as well.... So I have no idea which one I watched either..... I guess I got the one sub'd by a random person? I would never have noticed anyway.

[Puto]

and of course...pulls a Broli and screams GOKU when he dies

That was actually my mistake in the subtitles. He was actually saying "Bakana" (Impossible) but I misheard it. Yeah, it's embarrassing.

That was your video? You sub'd it? Eh, besides that everything seems spot on.

[Chibi Mystic Gohan]

What's the point of fansubbing it, if there's already a decent translation included with the game?

At first, I thought it was "Goku" too. But after I listen to it again, I noticed he screamed a long "AAAAAAAAAAAA" at the end.

Just finished watching it. I thought it was actually pretty good.

The musical score stuck out to me the most in this special. I thought the orchestral pieces worked really well with this special. There's a slow piece that plays when Hatchiyack (sp?) beats up Goku & others that I really liked.

The art/animation was pretty good, but I agree with some of you that the art looked wierd at points. One example is early in the special, where there's a scene where some of the characters have really thick outlines. As far as I know, that was the only point in the special where that happened. Other than that, I thought the art/animation looked great most of the time. I thought that one scene where all of the heroes shoot their ki attacks looked awesome, especially Gohan's. (Although maybe I'm a little biased since he's my favorite character, especially at this point in his life...)

The plot definitely felt a bit rushed. The beginning wasn't too bad, but once Goku and friends depart to confront Raichi, the story really speeds up and feels rushed. I think the special could've used a little more humor as well. I thought throughout the special, "Where is that Dragon Ball humor?" 'Course, there was humor at the end, but I wish there was more of it throughout the whole thing.

All of the voice actors sounded great as well. It's amazing Nozawa can still belt out a "Kame-hame-ha!" like she did two decades ago. It makes it hard to believe the woman is 74...

Overall, this was a great little special for the series even if it did have a few flaws. But hey, nothing's perfect, right? It's still awesome that we're getting new full-length animation for the series 13 years after the original anime came to an end.

I'll make a video review for the movie and let's hope it'd be up by tomorrow.

Can we please stop discussing how some of you have illegally watched the special that many of us spent our hard earned money on? I think it's disrespectful the way some of you are boasting that you watched it for free. I hate Raging Blast, but I love DBZ so I bought it and I support them so there will be future releases.

[Castor Troy]

Is it me or is there one part where Cooler seems turned on by Freeza, giving him incestual tendencies?

Because fansubbers have this mentality where they feel that existing translations of an Anime are inadequate for whatever reason, and they have to do their own one. Seriously, there's like three different fansubbed versions of the Jump Special out on the internet.

[Puto]

Actually it was because the left-alignment, dub names and subtitled "graah"s made them rather frustrating to watch. It's not much more than a transcription of the official subs with name tweaks and other minor tweaks here and there.

From the clips I have seen, the subs look like an AWFUL fansub. And when I say awful, I mean horribly bad.

Please excuse me for not being that good of a speaker.

Wow, that's actually creepy...

[JulieYBM]

So, I suppose this is one for those of us who can read Japanese, but does anyone know who the key animators on this were? Anyone with a background on the franchise before?

I'm working on it. I can tell you that there are both some new and old animators that worked on it, but I don't have a definitive list yet. I believe almost all of them have worked on One Piece at some point, which is no surprise.

[Cipher]

Just watched it.

I'm ... honestly not sure I enjoyed this more than the original. Watching the original, I was fully aware the entire time that it was a silly little video-game guide. I was able to cut it a lot of slack and enjoy it for what it was. With this, I'm not so sure. It does away with some of the more ridiculous moments ("Hey! They're Ghost Warriors!"), but it looses a bit of the charm. In the end, I actually had trouble sitting through its twenty-minute run-time, which is just not a good sign.

For whatever other problems the subtitles have, I'm glad to finally see the villain referred to as "Lychee." Even if it doesn't obfuscate the source of the pun at all, it's still preferable to the butchered transliteration of "Raichi," which really makes no sense.

Oh, and did anyone catch what tune the Destron Gas Machine was playing?

I did! I mentioned that in my first post in the thread.
