Hahaha wow, what a silly fighting scene. I don't think it bothers me that much, though. The expression on Goku's face when the villain's taunting him makes me believe it wasn't meant to be that serious anyways. I'm loving the villain as well. Overpowered as hell, but also silly and charismatic. I like him.
DBZ is the only anime I need to watch dubbed. I still can't get over how feminine all of the guys sound.
I agree with the voice, but the japanese version also has the original soundtrack, which, in my opinion, is way better than the English one To be honest though, I'm saying this since the French version also has the japanese music, so to me, those music are a part of the DBZ vibe, and I can't imagine the serie without them, ahah
Valid points. I can watch everything else subbed. Bleach, Cowboy Bebop, Fullmetal Alchemist. But DBZ.... But the original music is a bit more epic and less cheesy than the stuff we use.
Yeah... I think this scene in particular show how epic the japanese soundtrack is. English version [video=youtube;RyykhYW-N_s]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyykhYW-N_s[/video] Original version (begins at 3 min mark) [video=youtube;Y8485aasqc0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8485aasqc0[/video] I love that scene
Super Saiyan God mode; in appearance, the form looks like a cross between Kaioken and his 'ssj' form from Movie 4. Except it is nowhere near as badass as either form.
http://www.kanzenshuu.com/movie/battle-of-gods/synopsis/ Here's a written synopsis of the entire movie if anyone wants to read it before they get to watch it. After reading this, it doesn't sound as bad as I thought it would be, minus the cheesy-by-DBZ-standards Super Saiyan God thing. Edit: Just finished the entire thing. I actually think this is a really cool concept for a DBZ movie. I hope it gets a good U.S. dub.
This movie sounds awesome. I'm trying to find the official soundtrack online. All I can find is the one with the band Flow, yet I want just the score. On the other hand, reeeeealllyyyyy wanting this dubbed by FUNi
It definitely does not have the typical ending which I actually LOVE. It opens up a lot of possibilities. And they gave Vegeta his props!!
Here's to hoping they continue the canon anime after this film and erase everything that was GT. There's a huge story arc here with the Gods they're introducing.
That silly Goku twitter account went batshit spreading a rumor that Toriyama was considering creating a new arc because of the reception to the movie. But I haven't seen a single shred of evidence or actual quote to back this up. Edit: Also, for those wondering about an English dub, some news on that. http://dbzexperts.com/2013/03/31/funimation-predicts-two-years-for-battle-of-gods-english-dub/ That god awful movie is still fucking with us.
Actually, more material is most likely on the way. A couple of plot points in the new movie may attest to that, as well as Dragonball guides hinting at something 'more' headed our way in the near future. I'd dig up the evidence, but I'm too lazy right now. Head to kanzenshuu.com for more info.
Nothing is confirmed. Merely, there are strong implications that more material is on the way. Comb through the forums and podcasts if youre adamant.
