Awesome Dragonball advertisement/commercials

Post by sangofe » Wed Dec 31, 2014 9:50 am

I came by this Image and thought it'd be a great idea to make a thread about cool DB advertisements or commercials. Have you guys got others?

This ad of Marca is cool but the DVD release has already been censored as far as I know since they are going to release only 1 DB episode per DVD every week.

What does 1 episode per week has to do with censoring?

It's a free promo DVD.

It's not necessarily awesome good as much as awesome in its cheesiness.

I always liked the Toonami commercials for the first three Dragon Ball Z films. Movie 2 was the best, they even used sound clips from the Japanese release.

Does anyone remember the Cartoon Network promo announcing DBZ would be airing on the network? That got me psyched.

This one got me hyped, I remember when I first saw that promo, the images of an unconscious Gohan and Vegeta as a statue, and ss3 Goku for the first time really got to me.

Toonami actually did an impressive showing for its programes, I remember mainly the 2001 that had a mix of tenchi, gundam and of course DBZ

King Piccolo Saga. Hearing this, even though it might've had more censorship, ever wish DB had been dubbed in the 80s and union so Peter Cullen could've been in the cast?

They include that one quite a few times on the original DVD releases. It's a pretty cool promo.
