I enjoy it. I like all of the effort that they put into the animation and it looks very nice in my opinion. I admit that I'm not found of the voice acting, but I give them credit for trying. Looking forward to Episode 2.

I... uh, like the part with Mario.
But seriously. It looks like a lot of effort was put into this. Nice work! Also, there's a whole section in this forum for fan works. I'm sure this will magically be moved there.

Wow! Thanks for sharing this!
I actually liked it.

The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128

Needs work though in music placement though and some work in audio for sometimes the voices were drowned out by the music. Some silent moments would have been appreciated, especially in the scene where Uub detects the high power levels approaching.
The animation was okay though perhaps a little bit more fluidity would have been good.
Voice work sounded okay though perhaps a little more emotion in some lines was needed.
All in all though, an decent product and should hopefully get better as it goes.

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!"

I did admit that it was wired seeing Ubb and Pan together. Seeing her knowing shunkan ido was random.

Pretty good, The animation could be more fluent and the voices need work.
But it's very solid, looks like it's only going to get better too

Oh, hi there.
Re: Unofficial New DB Series Dragonball Absalon Episode 1
Along with Runaways, this is another fan project I can get on board with, I like what I've seen so far. It's obviously rough around the edges, but I will be keeping up with this. It's amazing the clear amount of effort that are going into some of these fan projects.
Re: Unofficial New DB Series Dragonball Absalon Episode 1
Despite some weird changes in characters' designs, I really liked it. The villain boss' voice is badass.
I see that there's another thread for this, in the right section. Perhaps we should move there.

Didn't like it, but it's some quality fan-project content that's spreading now.
FUNimation 2015 Releases I want:
- Kai 2.0 on Blu-ray

Re: Unofficial New DB Series Dragonball Absalon Episode 1
That was pretty cool.
And Masako X was Goku. The dark Cell guy has a really good voice.

Re: Unofficial New DB Series Dragonball Absalon Episode 1
Nice to see the Dragon Ball community being so active still!
Not gonna say I liked this, it really seemed like a 15 year old's fanfiction come to life (character interactions were cringe inducing, and the story just seemed pretty generic), but the animation was damn impressive.

IT COMETH.
Everything wrong technically is something you can indeed write off as first episode- jumpy animation, music drowning out the characters, no silences. But given where the animation is, it sure as hell deserves a shot. You just don't get that kind of effort very often.
A lot of the details are wonky, I'd agree. Dragon Ball in the real world, Pan knowing Instant Movement out of nowhere (Did the intro imply she's going SS5? Bwa-ha.), Future Trunks and sons suddenly training like pros, abrupt conversations. Oh look, more Sayains! But then it sounds like the Zorn's motive revolves around getting Sayains, so we'll see.

Re: Unofficial New DB Series Dragonball Absalon Episode 1
The animation is all right, but in general I found it sort of cringe-worthy.
Especially the whole Pan/Uub thing. wut
And this is supposed to be after GT, right? Then why is CHA-LA HEAD CHA-LA used?
Since when was South America a part of Dragon Ball Earth?
It doesn't seem like there's any consistency with the way transformations look.
Random skydiving Saiyans!
The hunched over villain with the high-pitched voice is like a villain's henchman out of a Disney movie or something. *Cringe*
And what exactly the hell is an 'Absalon'?
* Super Saiyan 3 Vegeta transforms into some kind of pseudo Super Saiyan 4 with black eyes
* Goku and Vegeta transform into some gray-haired/tailed/furred stage
* Goku transforms and has enormous icy-blue hair
* Super Saiyan 4-ish Goku with black fur, gold hair and black eyes!
* Super Saiyan 4-ish Broli with green hair!
* Super Saiyan 4-ish Broli with gray fur/white hair!
* All Saiyans have tails for no reason
Eh, aside from the animation, this is... kinda terrible. Fan art come to life. It's trying too hard to be epic... the intro music sounds like it was probably ripped from something else.

Honestly couldn't agree more. It screams 'AF', when all those fake pictures were all the rage.Thanos wrote:Eh, aside from the animation, this is... kinda terrible. Fan art come to life. It's trying too hard to be epic... the intro music sounds like it was probably ripped from something else.

Maybe I'm coming across as too critical for what it is, but based on the YouTube comments people seem to think of this as the greatest thing ever in the history of ever. I'm just like...

Re: Unofficial New DB Series Dragonball Absalon Episode 1
This AF-like stuff can be so outlandish and ridiculous it's not even Dragon Ball anymore... Still, I guess it's an interesting take on DB and the it's very impressive for a fan production. I can't see them making more than a few episodes before they give up, though.
