Dragonball franchise
Couldn't find a thread for it, so here's i guess a general thread on everything in the dragonball franchise.
Really just wanted to post that there's a new dragonball z anime movie in the works.

Thoughts on seeing a new dbz film?

DBZ isn't nearly as retched and pathetic as the mess Star Wars has become. Give it that at least.
Well I don't know about that. Not counted them but I wouldn't wager there is a huge gap.
And man, who cares about the EU canon or whatever it is? I don't. What I do care about is my friend wasting money for a 4 hour crappy game. I could hear him silently weeping into his pillow the night he got FU II...and then beat it later that same night. :T

I personally don't appreciate the new material, but I can respect the producers for putting it out.
The Star Wars movies on the other hand have gone through so many unnecessary edits and cuts to make money it's ridiculous. I feel bad for the fans for having to deal with it.

while the last canon thing from DB was the mangas end in '95.

I mean, who cares if they've added thirty new characters including Oolong's half-sister whom we've never heard of before, and Broly's new Super Saiyan 3.5 form?
And the worst thing is that the Dragon Ball setting has so much potential, and they waste it all on poorly programmed beat 'em up games.
The only decent Star Wars game I've played was Knights of the Old Republic. The other titles I've played are outright horrible. It's almost as if they expect the gamers to play their games just because of the franchise.
The reason is that they don't have to. The fans are stupid enough to buy anything with Dragon Ball in the title. Why put money and effort to make a good game when it will sell regardless of it?
Back in the day a friend of mine bought Dragon Ball GT: Final Bout for $500 on ebay, and he then had to buy a PSX from the states just to pay it, it was a horrible game and the graphics were completely outdated at the time since the PS2 had been out for an entire year at that point. And he knew that the game received horrible reviews even before he bought it.
Forgot about DB😮 being canon. Agree with its potential. Now their just glorified one-on-one fighting games. Tekken in space.

6 movies, screw the rest. And your friend deserves those tears for purchasing

I've seen it and I like it too. Too bad it doesn't go to the Buu saga.

Overall I see Dragon Ball Kai as a failed project. Mostly because it was poorly planned, so they never managed to get past the Cell arc. Which of course would come as a great disappointment for the fans who looked forward to collecting it.
They could've hired any Dragon Ball fan and he'd be able to divide arcs, and cover everything that's important in a 100 episode in an outlining script that he'd finish in a month, two months at the most.
I also don't see why they couldn't have reanimated it. In a style similar to what we saw in Ultimate Tenkaichi.
Because that style would definitely get the new generation into the series. Covering all three main arcs in 100 episodes, and then put out on Cartoon Network or whatever kids watch these days. It would definitely sell better than the Full-Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood crap we got.
