Official On-Going DBZ 2013 Movie Thread: "Battle of Gods"

[VegettoEX]

Plenty theatrical-run movies have DVD/Blu-ray screener copies that are made available to critics/reviewers/etc.

Which is why if Battle of Gods was released in America (or most other countries) then it would probably have already leaked online. The Japanese press tend to take these things a lot more seriously, thankfully.

Got my “Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods” Official Movie Guide yesteday, I scan "Akira Toriyama Art Works" pages, really nice

Interesting. The movie staff decided to change most of Toriyama's design for Birus' temple, especially by including the giant tree and such...but then apparently failed to really do anything of use with the changes they made. If they weren't going to tie in the Kaijuu and Shinjin or anything, the original design was fine for the place being such a minor part of the movie.

Maybe this was the initial art work and Toriyama decided not to go with it?

Re: Scans

Thank you so much for sharing! (I wish my copy would arrive soon. @_@ Lesson in shipping speeds learned.)

I actually like both versions of Beers and Uisu's home.

I gotta wonder where Goku's character drawing is though. That sheet has everyone but him. O_O
Also hoping that ssjg has a Toriyama-drawn piece somewhere; I'd really like to see that.

The only thing that bothers me about the current art-style (once I get past the oddness of skinny Mr. Satan and skinny Vegeta) is how seemingly random characters (in this lineup, it'd be Videl, Chi-Chi, Goten, Kuririn, and Marron) to varying degrees all seem to have wider-than-usual face proportions. The distance between where their eyes are set is much wider (especially Chi-Chi and Marron) than I've ever seen during the manga's original run.

It does seem strange that they changed it when it serves such a minor role. I have to wonder why they even bothered.

What I find even stranger is how and why it ended up on the poster for the film.

Just to show off something new. It is not the first time something pointless has appeared on a movie poster for the series. I don't even think there is a pterodactyl in the 10th Anniversary movie.

Probably just because they thought it looked cooler that way, and they didn't expect fans to think it had anything to do with the SEG Kaio/Kaioshin backstory.

and how long will it last before BoG hits Bluray?

[SaiyaJedi]

and how long will it last before BoG hits Bluray?

1. Toei is planning on a six-week run for Battle of Gods, going through the Golden Week holiday period early next month.
2. We don't know. Around six months, give or take, seems to be the baseline.

Thanks. Six months is a while though.

Hi!! This is a funny image that Toyble put in his blog

[DBZGTKOSDH]

I can't read Japanese, but I assume that they made a joke about Lloud being called as a god of destruction, like Beers?

[NeoKING]

The sad part is that Bilus would tear Lood apart. Especially since Lood wasn't even a god but a Machine Mutant worshipped by a false cult.

So where exactly is Bills' temple in the universe?

So where exactly is Bills' temple in the universe?

As far as we know, somewhere in the Living Realm. That's all that has been said...

What happened to Toriyama's style? :O Everyone's had a maaaaajor diet I see.
Honestly I wish Toriyama drew those in his older style (to the end of the manga) but oh well

Also, made a tribute to Toriyama and the movie. Hope y'all like
