Going by the intro, we might see SSj5 Vegito soon. I think having Buu return is the only thing that I look forward too in this series.

I can't hear what they're saying because the music's too loud...

And hes not kidding... Seriously what was up with the sound? Honestly to me it seems like the quality of the drawings, animation, and sound all went down compared to ep1. Still pretty good for a fan work and all but how could they have thought that making the music so loud that you can barely hear them talk was a good idea? I don't recall the official DB shows ever doing that, actually I don't really recall any anime that I've seen do that.

If this had a decent story, I would not mind the animation at all. But I can't really imagine the story being any worse than what it's shaping up to be.

Was the guy Goten was fighting meant to be a Super Saiyan 3? I know the general said to assume "form 3" or something along those lines, but we never see him transform and after that we get a shot of the soldier where he still has eyebrows. Then I assumed it was a fighting form but the general goes and comments on Goten not being "level 3" but making up for it with his fighting experience. Seems weird.

I also don't get Oob's attitude in this episode. Introducing himself as Majoob aside, he immediately says he's going to kill the guy, but does he even have a reason to be picking a fight with him? He doesn't seem to act like Oob anyway.

This seems way too serious to be a Dragon Ball series. Dragon Ball at least had lots of lighter moments during the serious times.

This show is basically what the fans who are unaware to Dragon Ball's true nature think it is. Serious action with an Excuse Plot to move characters from one fight to the next.

These are the same fans who would probably create a DBZ Sonic 06 equivalent.

Toei already did that with Episode of Bardok.

Well it doesn't suck as much as 06. But yeah that kinda counts.

Goten sounds like Sauske. Also what's with the series atmosphere. In my opinion everyone seems so serious and at out of character to a DEGREE. Trunks sword fighting was badly animated but I won't complain snce it's nice for a fanfic. Music is way to loud. The action seems to be steryotyped Dbz. Which is pretty much just punching and ki blast with destroying everything around. To be honest not counting Freeza and Boo destroying the planet. Dragonball destroyed more than DBZ. Plot seems....just fighting. Goten winning cause of experience seems weird. Okay that's all. But for the fans. I'm reading the comments....and WTF?

DBGT - Non Canon(To them)
DBA- (CANON!)(to Them). Some of them say this is the true sequel to DBZ. Which makes no sense since EP 1 was the END of GT

As much as I don't like GT (or at least certain aspects of it), it makes a lot more sense than DBA.

This still has light moments, like Goten and Trunks playing rock-paper-scissors before fighting and the peace before the villains show up.
The world's greatest.

Which is just copied from what happened in the Boo arc and doesn't even make sense in this context.

This. I still don't understand why real life areas are used instead of the Dragon Ball areas we know.

While I have numerous issues with DBA, I've tried to stay supportive of it simply because its a massive undertaking. Honestly, I believe they are being hoaxed by the so called Toei email they recieved simply because Toei and Shueisha dont reach out for anything if its not Japanese.

My main issue with this trailer is the characters. Bra is so out of character being a fighter in my opinion. I dont really know what to make ofGohan's new form, it looks... Odd on him. That and the complete alteration of Pan's features throws me off.

Still, Id like to see episode 3. To be honest, DBA and Masako are the main motivating factors in the Minisode Series' creation

The only thing I saw in this trailer were poorly animated tits. Which I almost didn't see because of the ugly, obviously traced, action sequences.

Mellavelli claimed on his facebook that he recieved an email from Toei claiming they wanted to add DBA to their programming. I find it hard to believe because Toei and Shueisha dont reach out like out. He says he cant upload DBA because of what the email says.
