I agree. I get really bored of all the characters wearing the same clothes all the time. This would be taking place right before she got pregnant. For her to change her hair and clothes doesn't seem like a big deal for me. I take it as a plus.

It's not that her design being different doesn't make sense, it just... looks bad. That's my issue with it.
I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!

Well, everyone is entitled to their own opinions. I too was skeptical at first. After looking at the image many times, I have already gotten use to the idea. I think she looks pretty good with the new style.

Agreed! Can't wait to see the other different outfits the other characters will wear.

It would be great if other characters get movie-exclusive outfits too. *_*
I liked Goku's farmer outfit from the Jump 08 special (that scarf X3 ); and his green Cross Epoch outfit. I hope he gets something new here too before having to whip his gi out once the battle starts.

Bulma just seems to have a different color version of the dress she wore during the Buu arc; it looks good though.

To be honest Videl's hair looks pretty similar to the last few episodes of Z after the timeskip.

She is indeed said to be 4 in the series itself. Her official birth year (Age 779) means she should turn 5 sometime during the year of the 28th Tenkaichi Budokai (Age 784), so you could say she's "4 going on 5".

Honestly, I've never liked Videl's End-of-Z appearance. I even much prefer her GT design.

Only 4 days before V Jump comes out. *_* I'm so excited it's almost here. I hope there's more information in there than what's appeared in the past several days. I've got so many questions about the movie; I hope it answers at least some of them.

Agree, I was going to say the same. It is also similar to her haircut during her wedding:

The hairs are kind of similar, so I am starting to really agree it has to be Videl, but...I dunno. Something about how it looks on the new poster still looks bad compared to that wedding photo.

Because her ears are shown, not being covered by her hair on the poster.

It's because of the new artwork. Everyone looks pretty different in comparison to the old days. If you look at her design in Yo! and other new art of her, her face is the exact same.

Which one's better:

Original: Battle of Gods
1: The Battle of the Gods
2: Battle of the Gods

Number one does, imo, but as of now there's still no official announcement of FUNimation or who else outside Japan.
FUNimation 2015 Releases I want:

I think it is common to eliminate the repetitive "the" in English titles, kind of like Lord of the Ring, which sounds better than something like The Lord of the Ring.
So the second one would seem more natural.

There's The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises, The Avengers, The Office, The Walking Dead, The Middle, The Sims, The Revenge of Shinobi, The Longest Yard, The Animatrix and etc.

Although, I think they renamed The Avengers to Avengers Assemble or it's just an alternative title now.

Well, yes, but it is just one the. He was thinking about titles with two "the"s in them, like The Lord Of The Rings.

Now if we can just return to something of actual revelance to the movie rather then just cosmetics

How do you think fight movement will be. Will see a return of Early Dragon ball martial art skill or the same recycled punch kick animation

There is no way to tell either way, not that later Dragon Ball Z was lacking in the hand-to-hand martial arts department. We know Shida Naotoshi is involved so there is bound to be at least one great cut of animation either way.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.
