Roshi still looks like he's trying to run for a touchdown. :P

The only two poses that look new to me are Goku and Piccolo's. But that looks like an awesome poster. I would hang that on my wall.

Also, the Photoshop Roshi edit was awesome.

I would assume most of the people here wouldn't even think of spending even a penny to go see this movie, but it's being talked about constantly on the daizex front page...c'mon guys I thought you respected the Dragonball series.

Have you guys seen this petition? http://www.petitiononline.com/dblam444/petition.html
Yeah, it's only got over 3400 signatures... really too bad. It's not like the petition would do anything anyway, the movie is coming out regardless.

The only thing you can do to "protest" this movie is just not go see it. Plain and simple. It really pains me to think that this movie would generate enough money to get sequels... it actually makes me ill just thinking about it.

What even makes me more ill are the "Dragonball fans" who say "I'm going to see it just to see how bad it is." You are still giving Fox your money. Fox still wins. End of story. I wish the Dragonball fans were smarter and more respectful of themselves than that, but I guess that's just not the case.
Dude quit advertising this BS petition. None of us want to hear about it. You Dragonball Evolution haters are turning into Nazi's man.

Hey, Majin? Probably not a good idea to pursue this. Some of the other posters already brought it up; we've already had more than a fair amount of ire over "Quit hating/liking this project" here. Talk about something else in regards to the movie, please? :X

Yeah, I have to agree, except for the Piccolo part. I'm pretty sure I've seen the poses of everyone else on the poster, including him, at least somewhere in all the footage we've seen so far. (I'm guessing in Piccolo's case, it was in one or more of the trailers we've seen already.) I really like the pose Goku's in for some reason, though. He looks really good in that shot. :3

I know I'd probably just cut out that part of the poster and put it up on my wall. The other parts are pretty nice, too, but... yeah. >.>
Art, etc. links taken down for now. Will be updated at some point. I dunno.

Excuse me, but some of us who have absolutely no kind feelings towards this movie aren't resorting to name calling or bashing of other people for their preference towards or against the movie.

Would appreciate you not referring to some of us as Nazis just because we don't like the movie. :|

Little-known fact, the German Worker's Party was very concerned with how its ally Japan's products were translated.

The poses aren't exactly new. They were used for one of the trailers I believe. In any case; best poster I've seen for the film.

Roshi's definitely. Mai's and Bulma's look similar to previous ones, but the way their heads are positioned look different.

Definitely better than the "Chatku the Pimp" posters of old. :D


The whole "blue tint red tint red tint blue tint red tint" thing kind of throws it off for me, but other than that, thumbs-up.

Haven't been keeping up too well with what videos have been posted here recently, but someone shot me a message just a moment ago on YouTube asking to post this here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiERoBM6grA

Supposedly a little Japanese news/talk show segment in regards to the movie.

I'm trying so hard to hear what that English song that's playing that sounds a lot like an "End Credits are rolling" type; but I can't make out all the words.

All I got was something like..."I can't wait to graduate. I took a look around and I said 'hey wait'.....blah blah blah blah." What is that? And why does the singer sound vaguely familiar?

Does anyone know what this is?
It's going to be released pretty soon, namely the 13th which is next Friday...
Is this also a novel?

Appears to be a novel adaptation of the movie by Stacia Deutsch and Rhody Cohon, just like the "junior novels". I actually don't know if this is in that same line of "junior novels" or of it's a more standard novelization of the script to the movie (which I'm kinda thinking it is), but those "junior novels" are also getting Japanese translations (as seen in the related-items area).

*Looks it up*.


Oh! "Bowling for Soup". I knew that voice sounded familiar. That song itself's got to be around three years old.
