DB 2013's 3/30/13 release date is a Saturday. One Piece Z's release date is on a Saturday too. Toei's Precure movie's release date is a Sunday though.

But as for why these are all on weekends instead of a Friday, I have no clue. I bet Julian would know.

The Kamen Rider W movie also came out on a Saturday as well. It looks like GI Joe 2 comes out that same weekend. I'm pretty sure this movie will likely beat it. The first movie open up on #5 when it came out in Japan back in 2009.

Chuquita, those designs are really something... the red ogres, wow. I hope we can see something like that in the movie.
Check out Journey's End, a short story of Goku and Vegeta's final days. "Time is running out for the last two Saiyans"

I agree, they're so nicely-designed, and there's a good variety of them too. I'm really happy that Toriyama still has that drive when it comes to designing characters.

Wow, those look really nice. My absolute favorite is the red female ogre with the blue fur outfit. Especially because she doesn't follow the DB female body type formula aka big head, small body he started using. I have seen his work for Chrono Trigger, but I think this is the first time I'm seeing Dragon Quest. I prefer his ink colored artwork to the computer colored ones, but this is really nice too.

I just noticed that; I guess I'm not allowed to link to them directly?
Probably because it's a small site. Was I was messing with bandwidth by image-posting? I'm sorry if I was. ^^;

Here's the gallery pages, they should work:

You know I was sitting around and thinking about Christmas...We need a Dragonball Christmas special :P
The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128

I'm happy with the TFS Christmas specials; for me at least, they've filled the gap.

If we were getting a new series instead of a movie, I'd say there would be a possibility though.

Tiny light at the end of the tunnel! Jump Festa 2013 is finally mentioned (in small print, and abbreviated to JF2013, but what else could that abbreviation be really) in the preview for next week's Weekly Shounen Jump: http://www.shonenjump.com/j/weeklyshone ... mg_big.jpg

So maybe, possible, hopefully, something's gonna be mentioned in Jump #42? Even if it's just a promo booth for the movie?
This is all such an exhausting and dishearteningly long wait. Most of my initial energy is gone because at this point I keep expecting nothing to update.

Anyone think that they might push this back to have more time marketing the film? It's September and we have no trailer. How can they market this movie when it does not come out in another five or six months from now?

A small trailer was debuted on live TV a few weeks ago. It's now on the film's website and YouTube. What's more, their site was also moving pretty slow for a while there so it has without doubt been viewed many times. Advertising will likely heat up in January, if not at JUMP Festa.

Hey do you guys think they will make vegeta officially go super saiyan 3? I doubt it, but it could be interesting.

I doubt it, I think Goku will likely go SSj3 depending on the villain.

In January will be two months before the movie starts? I guess marketing movies in Japan is different then here in the US? In the US, late marketing is a bad thing.

We have already seen SS3 Vegeta officially.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Oh, that's what he meant. Then yes, we still haven't seen that.

Yeah. So far, if we ignore SS3 GT Trunks since he can still be animated in one of the various GT themed Heroes GM commercials, SS3 Vegeta is the only new Carddass transformation that hasn't been animated yet. So I think it'd be a nice little treat to give us, if the villain warrants it of course. They shouldn't do it just to do it though, fan service should come second to good writing.
