I hate it when people disable ratings and comments. It just seems so cowardly.

I hope Goku doesn't do the Kamehameha one-handed. I hope his other arm is injured.

I do it because a group of assholes rate every comment as spam even when they aren't.

And no that isn't a Kame Hame Ha, just posted an interview with the guy who was in charge of FX he called it a "shadow crane strike."

Hmm, the voices are not from the anime, but don't sound half bad. Do we have a cast list?

Those were French voices, so I'm not sure. We have a Japanese cast list (another thread).

What do you think of this manipulation based on the shot of the supposedly Oozaru?

Yeah. It's obviously mirrored. They could have done a better job making it look legit.

Then let them. It's not fair to punish everyone because of a few idiots. Besides, disabling comments and ratings won't make people hate the movie any less.

Phew. Thanks for answering that.

Whoa, that's awesome.

Though it reminded me of the Hong Kong movie...

Also, what name do you think they'll use? The correct Shen Long, or Shenron or even just Dragon God?

The dragons in Dragons Wars looked far better than this Shenlong. I hope it looks better on the big-screen.
The Saiyans are very much like the Klingons and Jem'Hadar.

I noticed the bike-thing popping out of a capsule. Did we know that yet?

Wow some of those new scenes looked fricking sweet.

Also special effects always look better on the big screen.

Gotta admit, I did get pretty excited when I saw the new footage. I'm glad Shenron looks somewhat faithful.

I am assuming that Shenlong looks the way he does because they tried to make him look more like something that could exist in our world. His design is obviously based more on living creatures from past and present than off the standard Cartoony way he looks in the manga and so on. Also his size appears to be more like it was during the Piccolo Daimao arc, then it did later on.

I could understand why people would do it. You've got a sea of guys from 4chan and other places on the net who will post awful comments ruthlessly for no reason other than lulz.

Shenron's a... dinosaur? x_x

I agree that they pretty much nailed the look in Dragon Wars. The horns, the catfish whiskers, the length...

It's nice that they actually put a CGI Dragon in the movie but... you've got to raise your standards a bit, that's not Shenron.
I'd never say anyone should rent D-wars... I wouldn't wish that on anyone of you on even my worst day... but maybe check out the ending on youtube.

Looks a lot better in HQ.

Anyway... this trailer... is amazing.

It even shows a glimpse of mid-air fighting it should be up on IGN and other sites soon.

That doesn't look a thing like a dinosaur and you know it.
