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

[Baggie_Saiyan]

ANN: Do you know what the potential availability of the extended version might be?

Justin: Keep an eye on Funimation.com!

It's pretty cool that we are eventually getting the extended version. I wonder if they will include both versions on the initial home release or pull a Lord of the Rings and release the theatrical version first and the extended later.

Knowing Funimation it'll be the latter. More chance to milk the film as much as possible.

[Brad Redfield]

Whew! I managed to get the day off to go see the movie at the AMC Showplace 16 in Rockford.

I think the last time I've seen an anime film in theaters was the limited release of Steamboy back in 2004.

How I wish I could have seen that on the big screen. That movie is a animation titan.

I got the day off to go see it at Muvico Starlight 20 in Tampa, FL.

Don't hurt my feelings ....but what's the chances Funimation getting the right to release(not necessarily dub) the Jump Special and release it with Battle of Gods? Has there been ANY! hints at it?

Are you predicting this as a juciy "Extra" or atleast a part of a limited edtion release?

Maaaaaaaaaaaaybe. I'm so hoping it gets released along side it. they don't have to dub! just release the thing officially here!

...Why would Funimation not dub if it if they were going to include it with their dubbed release of Battle of Gods?

I've already seen it in Japanese (subbed) when it was streamed for free, so not the biggest bonus as a sub-only release. A dub adds to the incentive, as it's new material for them. Would be new to us to hear it. Besides, they reference Tarble in Battle of Gods, might as well give us his appearance.

I don't know? lol Maybe they don't have the right too or something? idk how that stuff works BUT! I've seen it and I own it as well but I'd just like to see it officially get released. If they dub it that'll be icing on the cake though!

I would not be infinitely surprised if we got a dub of Yo Son Goku and Friends Return one way or another within 1 year.

[Valerius Dover]

If they do dub it, they've got to rename it.

Seriously, though, I'm pretty sure we would've already gotten it if they had the rights to it. It's probably some weird copyright thing. Have any other countries gotten this at all?

The title "Yo Son Goku and Friends Return" doesn't wow me but just wondering what name would you give it if the decision was up to you?

I'm not saying I can do much better.
It depends on how close they want to stay to the Japanese version.They may just go with "Goku and Friends Return".I just think the "Yo" right there seems a bit awkward.

[Gyt Kaliba]

I'm really hoping they do have that special and can put it on the special edition of this release, just like the Japanese release did. I would love if they got to dub it too, but even if they don't, being able to own it would still make me happy.

The last time I checked, not a single Jump special, even ones for other series such as Naruto and One Piece, have ever been released anywhere outside of those Shonen Jump-bundle things. It's clearly a license issue that won't be ending any time soon.

[Gyt Kaliba]

While that is true, it did manage to end up re-released with Battle of Gods in Japan, which would have required some rights figuring for Toei as well I would think, so with any luck, maybe those rights issues are a little looser now? There's always hope anyway (but you're sadly probably right).

[samuraix123]

I guess we'll find out a little after August hopefully. I'm hoping the pre-order pops up after August. Does anyone know any software I can download on my computer to let me play Japanese DVDs? because the Jump Special came with my Battle of Gods.

I'll beg to differ on that.

I'd recommend using VLC.

Is Meredith McCoy really coming back as #18 in this dub? Apparently talk says she is, and Chris Sabat briefly credited her as a voice among the others in his discussion about the red-carpet movie.

Indeed she is, it was announced via the Battle of Gods section of the FUNi DBZ site a little while back. Brad Jackson is also returning as Oolong, making them both two former-Z-dub actors to return over their Kai counterparts.
