Just a note, even if FUNimation doesn't distribute the movie, couldn't Fox just as easily use the same FUNi cast by consulting Chris Sabat's studio, Okatron 5000? FUNimation has no involvement with the video games, after all.

Do you guys think Birusu will have a couple humorous scenes?

I can imagine Birusu teleporting to their party without them noticing while he eats their food.

He's so fast that when everyone goes to take a bite, he's already taken it.

Sure, they could. They know better than not to use the cast from FUNimation. Otherwise there will be a lot of uproar from the fans.

To add to the Cinema Asia thing that Gonstead was posting a while back, there may be another opportunity for Battle of Gods to be screened in New Zealand through this thing called Reel Anime that was held in my city last year:

I'm almost certain that BOG will be picked up for film festivals, as Film Z did recently.

After reading about the re-released cd on the front page; anyone else hoping for the movie's soundtrack's listing to show up soon?
I feel like the track-titles would be a good source of possible-spoiler info once they're posted. :3

Ooh, that'd be a good way to give us new info without really saying much at all. Good thinking!

As far as music goes, I'm still wondering what FLOW's other track is too.

Thank you! :3

I feel like FLOW's other track might be the more interesting of the two, since it's possible it may be an original song. It might even tie into themes from the movie too.

Also! (Because I came here first and didn't see this til after) the preview for Weekly Jump #10 mentions (for what I think is the first time so far) BOG on its preview-pages; we're getting close to the wire everyone: http://img2.imepic.jp/image/20130123/41 ... 199b12d689

I'm staying away from that then! The Phantom Menace was ruined for me (yeah, well... ya know, it would have been ruined either way but still) because the soundtrack listed the ONE spoiler I didn't know way back then. It was listed as "Qui-Gon's death and funeral" or something. Big friggin spoiler. I dunno if I really want the whole movie spoiled for me. I realize now that after it comes out and I still haven't seen it the spoilers will start cropping up everywhere and it will be soooo tempting to look!

Don't think so. Isn't it suppose to be an insert song?

Oh lord, I hope not. That's probably my least favorite Dragon Ball song out of everything from the original Japanese version. I can't imagine FLOW making me like it any better either, since it's definitely not their usual style.

Although...them covering 'We Were Angels' would be kinda interesting. And it'd be kinda poetic in a way if they covered the first opening but the last ending...though that would have worked better if they'd done 'Makafushigi Adventure' and then 'We Were Angels'...so I'unno.

Ouch, that had to suck. :? Yeah, I want some spoilers here, but let's at least leave some mystery to it, I don't want to see anything like that in the track listing...but I kinda doubt we will. Based on other Dragon Ball songs anyway, the titles are usually pretty vague.

Taking a look at One Piece Film Z's soundtrack listing; OPZ's list is just descriptive enough for me. (Though obviously personal spoiler-preference mileage will vary.)

Link to the OPZ's track listings here at CDJapan for use as an example for how BOG's may look: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=SICP-3758

Thank you!

I always check the WJ preview pages; I'm near-certain this is the first time I've seen BOG mentioned there.
If the picture was not so tiny, and if I wasn't already at the end of my day (not tired, but too burned out atm for any heavy mental lifting), I would attempt to translate.
EDIT: Aw hell, I've peaked my own interest; I'm gonna try to translate that one katakana word I can make out in this low-res picture. Be right back.

It's times like these that I wish I had any kind of basic translation ability myself. All I can do is work with whatever you call it where it's written in English lettering (like 'Baka wo kaze no hikanai', the one Japanese phrase I remember to this day), cuz with that I can just plug it into something and figure it out from there. With Kanji...I got nothing. :lol:

The kanji needs to be big enough for me to read; unfortunately this scan is too small/fuzzy for me to make any of that out.
I can translate, but I'm just not that fast (though I think I am starting to pick up speed just from practice) and it would've been obviously easier if I wasn't so tired atm. (The downside of the 12 hours ahead timezone thing, I guess.)

The one katakana word I mentioned a post ago that I would try to translate; it's "volume"; which doesn't help me at all. XD

By the way, is there anyone planning on going to Japan to watch the movie?
