I just hope the movie gets a good story.
I am. I'm so excited. X3
I've been waiting for plot-updates since Shueisha went on holiday break back in December.

Me too. A good story is one of the most important things imo for this movie.

I'll be happy with something along the lines of One Piece Movie 4, Dead End Adventure. It was a lot of fun, but it had a dark side to it with the new character which prevented it from becoming to shallow like say, One Piece Movie 7. Overall it was a great representation of the show and I'd like BOG to be something similar to that, except I think BOG needs something extra that cements itself as part of the Dragon Ball story.

I like how I feel the need to compare everything about this film to One Piece and I'm not even a real One Piece fan...yet. I've currently only seen the movies :lol:

Oh, and just wondering; how common is it for an Anime movie to be screened in IMAX?

IMAX! *_*
*So enjoys IMAX theaters*. With well-done animation that could be an amazing experience.

Ah, I can't help but compare the goings on with BOG to the goings on with OPZ and Strong World too; it's just the closest approximation I have since One Piece has become DB's successor in Japan and then some. They also share a lot of the same company owners (Toei, Shueisha) and Oda's a big fan of DB.

Also, just read in the full color manga thread that the bookstore Julian's going to pick up a VJump copy at doesn't open til 10am; another couple hours to go at most?

EDIT: VJump's main page, updated http://vjump.shueisha.co.jp/ .

Oh that would be awesome. How amazing would it be if he could apply those skills he uses in the Freeza arc to the big battles in this movie. *_*
Vegeta's way more interesting to me when he can keep a level head even when he knows he's outclassed in power because it forces him to strategize.
"And Piccolo....smash!"

And yeah. I love strategic, level-headed Vegeta. I feel like we don't get to see enough of that in the series. (Not just from Vegeta, but from anyone)

Agreed; that would be boring. I want a more creative finish than that. :3
And atm I have hope in the people behind this film that we will get a creative way to take down Birusu and Uisu.
I think this movie's going to be great, but I don't know if I trust them to be that creative.

I'm just waiting for Julian to get back from the bookstore at this point. XD It's after 10am.
Or anyone really; I just want to see those scans. :3
If I lived in the area, I'd have gone to buy it.

Yeah, the climax possibly won't be super-creative, but I feel the stuff leading up to it will in the very least be a lot of fun. Feeling positive about BOG atm.

EDIT: *Sees news update on main site from VJump 3 about DBH; patiently awaits article with scans about what VJump says about BOG*.

RAHR! Make him go faster! Wah wah wah! Do what I say or Imma get my uncle who owns the internet to shut you dooown!

In other news, who here is betting on Goku ending up with his shirt ripped off like a lot of previous movies (Movie's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 )?

That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation. But ultimately I have to ask myself "What is the true meaning of being perfect?" and the answer I came up with was nothing. Not one thing. The truth of the matter is I despise perfection! If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

Can't wait to see what's gonna come out from his translations!

Oh yeah, for sure. It's a cheap way to show how intense a fight is, and hey - free fan service for the ladies. :lol:

Hope I don't sound like I'm pestering, but you guys still haven't thrown up a news post on this stuff here:

No biggie, just thought you guys might like to report on this for the sake of being "complete". :wink:

Also, I apologize for my PM. Upon re-reading I've found that it may have been a little vague.

Well, Goku is already missing his gi shirt near the end of the trailer in space; and very much agreed it's a good way to 2 rocks with one stone both "this is getting serious" and "fanservice". :3

As for translations/scans; I've waited for new plot-info for a whole month now, I can wait another couple hours. :3
Important to have the translation correct and all. (Also scans with shiny new screenshots of scenes that haven't been shown yet. *_* )

Glad someone agrees and didn't take that comment as 'sexist' or anything. :P Fan service goes both ways after all, heh.

I have no worries about the accuracy (this is Kanzenshuu after all), but yeah, no need to rush. And I really, really hope for some more screen shots.

Thinking on it, what I want to know the most currently is what Pilaf and cronies are up to. Everything else, we can pretty well guess at and have been for some time now. They're pretty much the one thing we have absolutely no idea what's going on with.

Goku fanservice is definitely a thing. :3 I would not be surprised if Toei takes advantage of this for BOG.

Pilaf Gang's role in this has become a puzzle ever since finding out that it's actually Shoko-fish who gives Birusu his info on Goku. Maybe they're just there for comic relief? (But why are they so small?)

I almost feel like I want to see the screenshots/scans more than I want to see the translations. Almost.

Also, the cheerful!Vegeta mystery still hasn't been solved. The recent "It's Oolong!" theory is possible, but I'm hoping it's something crazier than that.

Still working on stuff. Not a whole lot of exciting reveals here, folks. Don't get your hopes up.

Well that's disappointing. Can I cling to the hope that there's some small amount of exciting reveal, if not a lot? ...Probably not. :?

The Weekly Jump pages!

Not much new-looking stuff there; thank you for sharing those though. :3


*Awaits VJump BOG info*.
