Regardless, the movie will totally bomb big time. I'll see it, but I won't pay a cent.  Justin Chatwin, (who plays the role of Goku) says that he doesn't need to wear a wig in the movie because he already looks similar to Goku. BS! |

the main letdown with the Dragonball series was how they wasted the characters.
it is understood that you need new characters to keep things interesting but why completely ignore them after building them up for one entire season like what happened with Gohan in DBZ.
it also gets boring that everybody calls for Goku to save the day, it is understood that he is the hero but there's not enough justification why it has to be him. As some pointed out, Goku is not necessarily the strongest but greatly implied often with the last enemy that can't be taken down by any characters except for him.
lastly, the ending for GT was really nothing special. it's like they reenacted the ending for Buu only on a bigger scale. (i really liked Buu saga's final moments).

jump's anime tour website has it available for free, and in english. here: http://www.jumpland.com/animetour/db/index_en.htmlthe catch is... you have to download their video player (broswer) thing. but it's only 2 megabytes and well worth downloading it. |

I really liked the special episode, and the main point, i think, was to bring out the memories of the fans, not just 25 minutes of battle and powers, but fun and happiness, also bring out characters who didn't appear often (or not at all) in DB Z (and GT). I hope in 5 or 10 years we get to see another special episode from Toriyama himself, again.  |

I thought the new OVA was a major letdown because of a few reasons: 1. Nobody else other than Goku, Goten and Trunks got to fight; 2. Tarble is a total weakling and why even introduce him into the series?; 3. Vegeta wasn't himself at all (I mean he was actually polite wtf?); and lastly, Goku saves the day again (woohoo....)

I'm really concerned about the DB Live Action film coming out in April and about how it might ruin the image of the DB franchise forever. In 10 years people probably won't even know what the original series are!
