Dragonball Z: Saiyan Saga - Help make this happen!

[Ringworm128]

I think the fact that the girl is fat and frowning is supposed to show that she's ugly. Not the fact that she's Asian.

Well, to be fair, in one of the chapters/episodes of Dragonball, when Roshi tells Goku to look for a hot woman he shows Goku 2 pictures. One looks more like Bulma, (the character in the picture reminds me of Marilyn Monroe) and the other is a fat oriental chick. The way the facial features are drawn (nose and eyes) are a definite indication of race. In the anime, the tone of their skin is also an indication; the oriental woman has 'yellower' darker skin and 'Marilyn Monroe' has the lighter white skin.

Roshi thinks the white girl is beautiful while the Asian is not at all beautiful. Maybe Toriyama preferred Caucasians...

I'm half asleep right now, but I don't really see the fat woman as looking "yellow" at all. She actually looks pinkish to me, which makes the attractive girl look yellowish in comparison. (EDIT: Oh wait, you said their skin in the anime. Durrr.)

Toriyama also draws a lot of fat people with squinty eyes, like Boo. Maybe they are supposed to be fat Asian stereotypes, but I always figured it was a sign of face fat obscuring their eyes.

So no one ever thought to ask toriyama what race he saw his characrers as?

Humans, Nemekians and Saiyans. That's the beauty of his art and style. He draws from all sorts cultural inspirations. One minute you are in an area with a heavy Asian influence(ranging from China, India and Japan) to a sprawling city were the characters look more western. I don't think he gave a fuck about specific race other then that's a human and that or there is a dog man.

That's just on of the entries, the winner will be revealed closer to the trailer's release.

is there a way to hear the other samples?

There are some posted on their facebook. So far I think the Mike Falconi one is the best. Hope the guy can master the track if he wins or hope they can find something more fitting.

Piccolo:

Not bad, but he looks pretty small..

They could always do that camera trick like what they did with Hagrid in Harry Potter.

Seems kinda shady to me asking for more money like this...

Is it racist they made a black guy play piccolo ? Wait did they pick the asian dude from Dance Academy to play goku ?

I always considered Piccolo to be played by an middle eastern person, he felt more middle eastern in terms of culture than African to me.

That.

That youtube clip also sounds very professional with the audio quality of the guys speaking notably dropping and raising in quality as he speaks. Also lol @ that hokey Sokidan at the end.

$3,500 for Saiyan Armor? LOL they expect fans to donate that much just to get that.

The armor itself wont cost that much. If actually read the article you would know it is for reshoots, expenses and etc.

I'll be damned if they didn't know that the armors sucked before it even touching the actor's skin, much less shooting everything. Maybe they really just thought that they could fix it in post....but nobody can deny how sketchy this situation looks at this point.

Also, in the video he notes shooting new stuff for Vegeta and Nappa....what about Raditz? His was no better...

[SparkyPantsMcGee]

I don't think it's sketchy, just bad management. I admire their ambition and passion for this project but this is really turning into an expensive and time consuming trailer . At this point, I'd image investors walking away because they can't seem to get it together. We are already talking about 5 months of production and 3000+ going to waste if this is getting re-shot. Also, what's going to happen if they aren't happy a second time? Personally, if I were going to give them money I'd want to see what the armor looks like before they shoot again.

I get it, shit happens, and I'm sure losing their costume designer was probably damaging but you mean to tell me no one thought to look for better armor or maybe re-shooting some scenes while they had access to a green screen? Yea, it wouldn't be as authentic but it would get the job done. Again, we are talking about a trailer not a major film.

Where's the wolf fang fist ?

Does Yamcha look Massivvely FTL in this pic to anyone ?

[gohan2k]

I have to say I was a little concerned upon seeing them ask for even more money and asked them why they didn't delay shooting if they knew the armour wasn't gonna be right rather than shoot anyway, decide it's terrible and then ask for even more money!

This is what they replied:

We had to go ahead with the shoot because we had already spent a large amount on the location, accommodation, food, hiring buses for travel. Things like that. Plus with over 20 people booked to shoot on those dates we pretty much had to shoot. To do these re-shoots we only need 3 of the actors and we don't need the accommodation as we only need one day of shooting.

[LordCrumb]

You know, it's cool that they are doing this, but why are they all Asian?
