Discussion regarding the entirety of the franchise in a general (meta) sense, including such aspects as: production, trends, merchandise, fan culture, and more.

I dunno if this was in the japanese version, but Bulma's dad called Jaco as "Taco" XD that cracked me up.
In the japanese version he calls him "zako" 雑魚 which meaning is "small fish" or "person of low social standing" and according to dictionary it can also be pronounced as Jaco. :3
Nice, I see why they changed it to Taco, nobody would have understood Zako XD.
OH ANOTHER BEERUS GOODNESS FROM THE LATIN AMERICAN VERSION
When he heard about pizza, he described it like this.
"Oh, Pizza? What a Flirty and Attractive name! I must try it" I LOLED
There's room for only one snake, and one big boss.

I wonder what he said in japanese there..
I find some of Beerus lines in the latin american dub to be weird / not much of my like (that was one of them xD )... though with this movie I can say he was better with his lines (voice is other thing xD).
One adapted line/reaction I liked with Beerus was when Whis complained about the number of strawberries he ate. I dont remember exactly what he said but it was some play of words.
Sleeping until the tournament is over.

These days people start throwing the words "filler" and "silce of life" everytime characters aren't punching each other. No matter if something is moving the plot or there's character exposition.
Imagine if DB started these days. It would go like this:
"hey, what's happening in Dragon Ball today?"
"Goku wants Mutenroshi to train him, so he's bringing him some chicks now."
"oh i see, just slice of life filler then. skippable. "
Are we too old to enjoy new Dragon Ball movies/series?

Guys, I'm going to be straight with you. If you feel the show has gotten 'silly' ... it hasn't. You're just 'too old for this shit'. Seriously, 95% of the people in those boards do not fit the target demographic of the show, so don't expect the show to be 'everything you hoped for'. I'm referring to the people here who expect Super to be rich with dark moments, serious storytelling, meaningful characters etc etc. It won't. It's a show for kids. A show for kids being kids. Everyone in those boards has a manchild in him/her, clamoring to get out, and that's fine. But having unrealistic expectations (such as believing the show grew up alongside you) is naïve at best. Honestly, do you take seriously a story where the supposed God of Destruction halts his urges to blow up stuff in order to eat ice cream sundae? That's the show's silliness at full force, take it for what it is. The show hasn't matured one bit, so don't expect it too. Again, I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I'm saying *that* is DB and always will be.

I feel that bro. If you're so interested, the best thing I can suggest is to take a one-day trip to Spain when the movie is released.
It'll be a nation-wide release this time, so there must be some cinema airing it near the border (it also depends on where you live, of course).
It's disappointing how quiet Manga UK have gone over their licensing of F.
Since the initial announcement where they said "it's coming" and gave us no further details, there has been nothing said about it. I was desperately hoping for a cinematic release over here but honestly any chances of that now are slim.
It's so frustrating as plenty of countries are getting it, albeit a limited cinematic release...and I thought there was a really good chance we would too. I understand it's probably a complicated process to get plans in place for events like this but if other companies can get it sorted - why can't Manga UK? They had plenty of time with this one.

They have stopped responding to tweets about it altogether. I would say chances are that they've passed up on it. France are showing it, so why can't the UK? it all boils down to the fact they're just not willing to do it, or they haven't succeeded to secure the deal for a limited run.
Either way, it's yet another huge disappointment for UK fans, as Manga have dropped the ball again. I hope I'm wrong, but time is getting on now, and still nothing coming out of there.

Oh my God. This is absolute bollocks. Okay, I gotta be blunt, what the hell is seriously going on with MangaUK and ROF? They must have heard how much money ROF has made internationally so far outside of Japan, and they must know there is a sizable fanbase for Dragon Ball in the UK, so what's wrong with just giving the movie a 3 or 5 day subtitled run in some Cinemas in England? Is it really that hard? Or are they just being lazy? Or maybe they don't like the idea of making money? Maybe I'm sounding harsh, but I'm getting real sick and tired of MangaUK dicking around with this. Just tell us upfront if you can't screen the movie because you don't see it as profitable or for whatever reason. Keeping quiet about stuff like this for too long is just going to annoy fans.

I still haven’t lived down going, “Who the heck is Tao Pai-pai?” that one time I was talking with Ei’ichiro Oda-kun. But the fact that there are still people reading the series after all this time… All I can say is; “thank you.” Really, that’s all.

And that you also have IMMENSELY skewed and comically backwards priorities in what you think is most important and needed to make a good Dragon Ball story.

It is reaching the point where questions need to be asked as to whether or not they are able to pull something like this off. France haven't had an issue, Australia haven't, so what's up with the UK?.
All of the silence isn't doing them any favours, and will antagonise the fanbase.

That's my thinking. I'm stopping myself from ranting on at them because I'm not sure what that would really achieve but I do feel let down. They really need to sort their shit out. It's screening in Paraguay for gods sake...but not the UK? Come on.

I swear that I tried to imagine the movie with the Big Green voices now lol
MangaUK are just a bad company period, I don't think they've released one release without controversy. No suprise at all. I was hoping another UK licensor would steal the rights to DBZ. Knowing Manga they will probably try another loophole cuz apparently they couldn't release BoG on DvD/Blu unless it had a theatrical release, so they showed in the Scotland festival

Agreed. It's a shame 20th Century Fox couldn't have handled a theatrical release for the UK.
Just looking at a list of release dates in all these different countries has me depressed. I ended up tweeting them with some places it's being shown and asking why not the UK. I cannot wrap my head around it.
I do think at the very least we deserve to know why this isn't possible when places a lot smaller have managed to pull it off.
