Episode of Bardock: Giant On-Going Manga + Anime Discussion

[Herms]

Chilled's "hah" sounds as he dies are supposed to be him wheezing rather than laughter. I guess that's what I get for simply transliterating the sound effect.

This one panel in particular feels as if a gentle breeze is about to carry a trash bag full of rose petals across the screen at any moment

We actually do see cherry blossoms blow by Bardock in the Bardock Special, when he has that vision of Goku and Freeza on Namek. OK, so cherry blossoms aren't the same as rose petals, but it's still similar. Doesn't really affect your point about Ooishi's art stylet though.

[VegettoEX]

Mmm, fair point about the sound effect. Even ignoring the SFX, just looking at it I somewhat get a feeling of like a knowing-but-scared laugh he's coughing up as he dies/collapses, so that's where I was coming from. Guess I can just omit a bit to avoid confusion.

Mike, wasn't Episode Of Bardock reprinted in Saikyo JUMP as well? Maybe mention that as an alternative to the V-JUMP release.

If anyone notices any typos or glaring omissions, certainly let me know!

Well in the second paragraph below the images comparing Goku's walking pose to Super Saiyan Bardock's walking pose in the presentation part of the review, you didn't include the word 'no' in this sentence:

In this example, Ooishi clearly channels the anime-only scene where, right after Trunks takes out the minions, Mecha Freeza decides he longer needs this last one.

'No' should be written between 'he' and 'longer'.

If it's going to air on TV, I wonder what time slot it'll take since Toriko took Kai's.

So it might be an all new on-going anime focusing on this alternate world?

I think that's a little too much to hope for.

I'm holding back on the enthusiasm. If it ends up being more than I expected, all the better. However, if it's not, I'm saving myself from dissapointment.

I have said it before, I'm not too fond of that special. Maybe it's because it was rushed, or those alien designs, or because I don't like the idea of Bardock being the legendary SSJ from 1000 years ago, but hearing about an anime adaptation for it left me with something between "meh" and "sorta looking forward to it".
The whole story feels a little too light-hearted compared to Bardocks first OVA and the Freeza saga in general.

(And now we wait for the animated version...)

Is it definitely Bardock, but with a new spin. The same goes for just about everything else over the three chapters of material.

Switch the "is" and the "it". It's in the paragraph right under the picture of SSJ Bardock in which it feels "as if a gentle breeze is about to carry a trash bag full of rose petals across the screen."

Many thanks! If there aren't any other corrections, I guess I'll link it off the home page at some point today...

'Wait so is the Episode of Bardock Special the Dragon Ball Force Project or is it "part" of it?

'Wait so is the Episode of Bardock Special the Dragon Ball Force Project or is it "part" of it?

That's what I am confused about too.

[DBZGTKOSDH]

What confuses me are Dragon Ball Force Project & Dragon Ball SSSS Project. What's the difference between them?

[Kroni_Hunter]

They're codenames for the same project.

"The Episode of Bardock Anime Special is said to be part of a larger mysterious project Dragon Ball project with codenames such as Dragon Ball Force Project and Dragon Ball Saikyo Super Saiyan Secret Project."

Makes you wonder what this mysterious project is about.

[DBZGTKOSDH]

5 days left. Will it possibly hit the internet soon after Jump Festa, or we will have to wait for the TV airing?

[MCDaveG]

Well, as we saw the comic already, I kinda know, what to expect. But about this whole project. I'm curious but mostly scared what will come up from it.

[DBZGTKOSDH]

I'm also not very excited with this, since I know what I will see. I wish a new movie will come next, with new, serious, original villains, not remakes, adaptations, and gag stories.

[MCDaveG]

As I stated in video games section, I would love a game with completely original story with brand new villains or Street Fighter like tournament game. I think that I will probably be dissapointed from the outcome. Everytime I had high hopes for something about Dragon Ball, it turned down to be not that awesome as I thought it will be. But the 2008 special really surprised and was cool, outside the weird yellow contour of SSJ hair and that it was kinda short and without Tenshinhan.
TPTETS remake wasn't that much awesome, but I love Hachihyakku as playable character in next gen DB game.

Don't take me wrong, I love this special. I just want something more action packed. The Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans was old and short. Episode of Bardock was short, and we saw nothing from Chilled, or even something new from Bardock, apart from SSJ.

You didn't like the last one? Personally, I loved it. Besides, I'm pretty sure that's all that we're going to get form now on. If Toriyama has any involvement, it'll be in-between stuff (or at least that's what he hinted to in an interview). This means back story (Bardock) or things that happened in-between plot points that weren't dangerous enough to mention in the manga (Abo/Cado).

[SylentEcho]

I hope they do it in a similar way they did, "Yo! Son Goku...". It felt like a good blend of DB and Z. I could do with a little more action though. (that's what she said :p)
