With regards to the time elapsed since BoG, we know that it's within a year as a very tiny Pan is seen in Videl's arms in Chapter 1.
13 months after BoG to be exact based on evidence from the manga itself.
Great, thanks for clearing that one up

So, hey, since FUNimation has gotten this so early, do you think this will be released in August or some time earlier in Summer? Like, mid-July?

I mean, you're pretty open about looking at cartoon porn. Why would you do that? It's fiction. The proportions of these women are not possible to reach in reality.

I'm seeing June for South America, so FUNi won't be too far behind I wouldn't have thought.

Yeah, IIRC the movie was already confirmed in Brazil for June 18th, so around then.

I've been thinking and couldnt this whole Freeza coming back to life via the dragonballs have been averted if they had a password or needed to be spoken using the Namek language?
Or maybe kept at least 1 ball with Piccolo etc...

Interesting. Thanks for the link. Not sure if it's the whole thing, though. If it's as good as what I've heard people say, I may give it a read.
Someone probably already answered but yeah, that's the whole series. Bought it digitally from Viz for $7, was worth every penny.

I appreciate it. Like I thought, the "years" thing is fine, but I did notice a few other mistakes (sorry, I'm a big nuisance, aren't I?):
"Has the era of peace persisted" should be "an era of peace has persisted, but...?!" (in other words, things have been peaceful for a long time, but now that's all about to change)
"The most feared being to the Super Saiyan is none other than Freeza" is backwards; it actually says that the Super Saiyans are what Freeza most fears.
"the strength of his remaining army gradually withered away, ending the devastation" should be "the strength of his remaining army gradually withered away, until they were on the brink of destruction". So it's not describing the destruction caused by the army, but rather how the army is about to be destroyed since they've gotten so weak now that Freeza isn't around.
Sorbet "uses the dragon balls of Earth" should be Sorbet "resolves to use the dragon balls of Earth". In other words, the sentence describes how he's decided to do that, rather than him actually doing it. That's why the next sentence describes Freeza actually getting revived by Shenlong.
This is true. I suppose this stuff sticks out to me mostly because of a sort of Uncanny Valley effect. Since the translations are mostly fine, the things that aren't fine stick out like sore thumbs.
I will say this: their translator(s) has no problem with vocabulary, but needs a better grasp of Japanese grammar. That's where most of these mistakes seem to come from.
Not a nuisance. You handled all of this a lot better than what VegettoEX and Saiyan Jedi could do in their life time. End of the day we're trying to help out. We have made some silly mistakes in the past (and some now) but they can easily be fixed. I think from now on we'll rip the Japanese text too so that it can go alongside the translation (assuming that scans aren't text heavy like these).

The Dragon Balls were
meant to be found and wished upon. If they didn't want anyone making a wish, they could have just deactivated them.

Well that fucken backfired.
If you had one with Piccolo he could have at least approved the use.

It's not as if anyone could've expected leftovers of Freeza's army would try to wish him back, or that Pilaf would yet again screw things up. Nvm that at that point in time, any one of them could've killed a resurrected Freeza. So it's not much of a concern until Plot Happens and somehow Freeza becomes OP.

But how would someone find all seven Dragon Balls if Piccolo is constantly carrying one with himself? Bulma invented the Dragon Radar, besides that, Kami's original intention was that it would take hundreds of years for all seven balls to eventually come together, but if Piccolo keeps one then nobody could ever find it.

I'm not sure if Pekingdaq has gotten a ticket or not.
Kei didn't enter this time around.
Greg's in with Shueisha, but he's the One Piece guy now, so I think he's an "if/maybe?".
I don't know if there's anyone aside from those four on the boards who's in Japan right now.
We should still get plenty of info from those in Japan who are going though right?

Definitely. I'd say stick to whichever the latest edition of the 2ch F thread will be at that point.
It's currently on incarnation #71 -
http://kanae.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/animovie/1426659616/ but they're almost to the #1000 post cut off (977 last I checked).
Here's #72
http://kanae.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/animovie/1426986090/
If it's anything like BOG's 2ch threads during the preview screenings though, they're gonna be going through threads like water, but luckily the old versions don't vanish until 24 hours since the final post, so unless you're there live you'll probably be headed down the rabbit hole of thread-after-thread for a while.
If it is indeed at 13:00/1pm Japan time (please someone confirm or deny this b/c I don't have a source, I know I just read it somewhere) then that means it'll start at 2am EST. If the movie is two hours long (being generous) the threads won't start flooding until 5am EST.
On hiatus.

I want the z warriors to make a circle around Golden Frieza and smother him with their pure hearted energy and love while a Momoiro Clover Z song plays in the background. The warmth will make Frieza realize the errors of his ways, and he'll join Jaco in bringing peace throughout the galaxy.

So, here are my predictions about the movie:
Vegeta will surpass Goku by getting control of the power he displayed against Beerus in BoG (as he is still one step behind Goku in FnF, according to Whis), but he will still fail to defeat Freeza. Then Goku will somehow transform beyond Super Saiyan God (as Dragon Ball Heroes hints), and defeat Freeza. Freeza won't die in this movie, and we will see him again (Nakao hinted that in Bulma's blog), but I don't think he will become a good guy.
As for the Earth's destruction, it will happen (but Goku won't die), and Whis will turn time back to change it. The scene in the trailer with Beerus & Whis, with Beerus saying that this happened because he (Goku?) was too soft, seems to be in space with a destroyed planet there, so after that scene in the movie, Whis will restore the Earth.
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.
