Dragon Ball Z Movie 15: Fukkatsu no "F"

Overview:

We Dragonball fans often tend to be a very emotional bunch that give heated reviews. However, I'm not here to say this movie SUCKED or this movie ROCKED! If you want my honest opinion...this movie was ok. It had some serious flaws, but it had some things it really did well. In the following paragraphs I will explain exactly what I mean.

My thoughts on the United States Theater release:

If you don't live in the US or simply don't care about this section, please skip ahead to the plot section.

After months of waiting, DBZ movie 15: Resurrection "F" has FINALLY been released in US theaters. Of ... course this means it is being released in a very limited number of theaters for 1 week only! This is despite the fact that this movie was the largest box office hit of 2015 thus far in Japan and the US actually has millions of non-anime fans in their 20s and 30s that still grew up with DBZ and might want to see this movie. Why the tiny theatrical release? Are US theaters all owned by people who hate DBZ and don't want this movie to make much money? Obviously that would a very, very silly conspiracy, but not QUITE as groundless and crazy as you might initially think. The 2nd largest movie theater chain in the United States is called AMC theaters, which is owned by Chinese billionaire Jianlin Wang. Mr. Wang is a very patriotic ex-Red Army veteran that is also a high ranking official of the Chinese Communist Party and happens to NOT like Japan very much. Japanese produced films like those released by Sony Pictures have seen their profits plunge in the US since 2012 when the Dalian He-Xing Corporation controlled by the Chinese government bought out AMC and several other US theaters to increase China's "soft power" overseas. Japanese financed films in the US are now shown on fewer screens and for shorter times, at least in part thanks to the efforts of the Chinese government. At this point I should be grateful that the CCP allowed this movie to be released in the US at all. Thank you Honorable Chairman Xi Jinping!

Plot:

Warning! This contains Spoilers!!!

The plot is honestly the largest problem with this movie. You can tell that Toriyama himself wrote it because it contains the kind of plot holes and continuity errors that only the master of "not giving a fuck about his own work" is capable of. If this movie was written by someone who had never seen DBZ before and prepared by spending 5 hours reading wikipedia and fan wikia summaries it would have contained far fewer errors!

Due to the high level of bullshit moments, I will give an overview of the plot and count the number "Cinema Sins" style with a number enclosed in parenthesis (1)

The adventure begins with Freeza's henchmen going to Earth to gather the dragon balls. These henchmen were stated to have roughly equal power to the Ginyu force and like all of Freeza's henchmen did not have the ability to repress their power levels. However, unlike previous examples of abnormally strong power levels approaching the planet, none of the Z fighters noticed the presence of these minions and thus never tried to stop them (1).

The henchmen wish for Freeza to come back to life, but the Dragon states that since he died when Buu destroyed the Earth, he now has new rules and can only bring back a body in the shape it was in at the time of death. Freeza got sliced and diced by Trunks and therefore his body could only be brought back in the tiny pieces that Trunks cut him into. The Earth's "eternal" dragon Shenlong has been killed twice before the time Buu destroyed Earth and there were no changes to his rules following the first 2 times Shenlong was restored (2).

The minions simply take the small pieces of Freeza's corpse and place them in the healing tank, which perfectly restores Freeza's body. This is despite the fact that the healing tank used by Freeza's men in previous sagas could NOT restore the dead or heal such serious wounds as being in tiny pieces. That is precisely why Freeza's body had to be rebuilt as a cyborg following the explosion of Namek and his body was in MUCH better condition after Namek than after Trunks (3).

Freeza died in his "final form" which is actually his original form and the other forms were created to preserve energy. Yet, when the healing machine pieces him back together while he is unconscious, he is somehow in his most repressed transformation (4).

Freeza is informed that Goku has gotten much stronger and defeated Majin Buu, which shocks Freeza since we apparently now learn that Freeza's father once warned him of Majin Buu and Beerus the God of Destruction. Although I like that Toriyama has tried hard to retcon Beerus into the DBZ world, it makes ZERO sense for Freeza's father to have heard of Majin Buu! This is because at any time in Freeza's life when his father could have told him this information, Buu was sealed away and hadn't been seen by anyone for millions of years. There would be no reason to believe that Buu was still alive and even North Kai hadn't heard of Buu because it happened way before the lifetime of a low level Kai like him. The only characters with the knowledge of the entire history of the universe to know about Majin Buu were the Supreme Kai, other high level immortal Gods like Beerus, and the several million year old wizard Babidi. Apparently King Cold is a WAY better historian than any other mortal character and can predict that someone thought dead for millions of years is actually still somehow alive (5).

Freeza announces that despite having a power level several thousand times lower than Majin Buu and well over 10,000 times lower than SSJ God Goku, that with six months of training he could fight on the same level as Goku. We learn that Freeza "has never trained a minute is his life" and that the only reason he isn't the strongest character in the Dragonball Universe is that he is the laziest character in the history of fiction. Freeza was certainly arrogant in DBZ, but he was also a highly ambitious tyrant that was totally bent on domination. Why would it make sense that he has never once worked out in his life and is even lazier than Oblomov (cookie if you got that last joke). This not only completely derails Freeza's character, but we never even get to see a second of apparently the greatest power boost training in Dragonball history! (6).

We see the lovably flamboyant Whis training Goku and Vegeta and learn that both of them can now achieve a 2nd level of Super Saiyan God! Seriously?! Vegeta took forever to go SSJ 1 and never even came close to learning SSJ 3. How in the fuck did Vegeta in a couple months attain SSJ God lvl 2?! Whis is obviously one HELL of a teacher. Maybe he is the one who secretly trained Freeza in order to provide a challenge for Goku!!! Nah, that would make too much logical sense. The real answer is that Toriyama doesn't give a fuck! (7).

Freeza invades Earth and an epic battle begins between Freeza's soldiers and the Z fighters. This includes Master Roshi who beats the shit out of dozens of Freeza's soldiers...despite the fact that Raditz was below the average strength of a Freeza soldier and Raditz was 10 times stronger than Roshi in his prime (8).

Krillen tells C-18 to protect their daughter while he fights against Freeza's men. Krillen doesn't want either of them to be in danger, despite the fact that C-18 is over 1000 times stronger than him and FAR less likely to die in battle. Why in fuck would C-18 allow her infinitely weaker spouse to go get himself killed?! She has never been shown to be a coward like Yamcha and we are led to believe that she truly does love Krillen and cares deeply about him. Why wouldn't she just knock Krillen out and go in his place?! Hooray for completely illogical character assassination! (9).

Goku and Vegeta finally arrive to fight against Freeza and the action begins with the now blue haired Goku against Golden Freeza. Goku seems to gain the upper hand, but one of Freeza's minions with a tiny power level is able to severely injure Goku with a tiny laser because Goku's guard was down. This is despite the fact that Goku has been hit off-guard by dozens of FAR stronger attacks and it has been explained that Goku's tremendous Ki protects his body like a force field. The only exception was a non-canon filler episode where Krillen throws a rock at him for the sake of comic relief. (10).

Vegeta takes over the fight and kicks Freeza's ass. Vegeta is arrogant and always looking for a challenge, so he will allow a fight to drag on if his opponent promises another transformation or hasn't reached their max power. However, Vegeta has always quickly finished his fights against weaker, unworthy opponents like Freeza in his current state. That is why it makes VERY little sense for Vegeta to give Freeza the time to repeat what he did on Namek and tried to do again against Trunks by blowing the planet and winning via default. Vegeta would have KNOWN that Freeza would try this because Freeza ALWAYS tries this strategy when he starts losing. However, Toriyama wanted to fuck over Vegeta and Freeza wins by blowing up the planet. Whis then pulls some deus ex machina bullshit and sends Goku back in time to just before the planet is destroyed so that Goku can kill Freeza. Why the hell do you hate Vegeta so much Toriyama?! If you didn't like him, you should have killed him off and not made him a main character! (11).

Obviously I didn't catch all the countless mistakes, but these were just a few that particularly bothered me either because they derailed a beloved character or completely raped the continuity of the timeline.


Art and Animation:

The art and animation is actually pretty damn good. The use of CGI was slightly less annoying than in Battle of Gods, and the action was excellent. The well animated fights and big budget blockbuster feel made this movie enjoyable for DBZ fans despite the multitude of plot issues.

Music:

The music was honestly pretty good and I liked the inclusion of "F" by Maximum the Hormone. It was a nice touch!


Overall:

Is this movie the greatest thing Toriyama has ever produced? Obviously not. However, it was a well animated action fest with some enjoyable fights and a few funny moments. There have been WAY worse DBZ movies that we the fans have had to put up with over the years. If I wasn't a big fan of DBZ I think I would give this a 5 or arguably even a 4, but because I personally enjoyed it a lot, I feel that I have to give up a tad of analytical objectivity and give it a 6. Your mileage may vary.

This movie can only survive off of DBZ nostalgia. If you spend time analyzing this movie you will scream to yourself WTF ?. Nothing makes sense in this movie and the plot is just a cheap attempt at capitalizing on a known villain. A new unexplained transformation used as a cash cow to piece together a quick to grasp story.

The visuals and sound are top notch, but the fights are lacking even for DBZ standards. The visuals actually take a slight hit due to the interjection of computer graphics at random parts of fights (Which noone ever likes).

Chances are you will enjoy this movie ... for what it is, but that's with your rose colored glasses. I can't get into the issues with the movie without spoiling it, just know very little is going to be cohesive and non of it will add any value to the universe.

Before condemning me for not mindlessly praising DBZ Movie 15, Revival of F, you should know that I am one of the biggest Dragon Ball fanboys out there. I've read the manga, watched DB,DBZ,DBGT, movies, specials, etc. Dragon Ball has had a ton of impact on my life and sadly, if I had to describe DBZ Movie 15 in one word, I would use disappointment.

My disappointment for the movie stems not from a case of overHYPE but rather from something much different. After all the anime and shounen I've watched over the years, what makes Dragon Ball so special? It's certainly not the fight scenes ... or the over the top transformations and power ups, that's for sure. It's the emotion. The feeling of desperation when the planet is going to blow in 5 minutes. The feeling of despair as Gohan watches Cell kill his friends and family. The feeling of hope as Goku descends to defeat the Saiyans. The feeling of weakness as Vegeta discovers how weak he truly is. These feelings are what makes Dragon Ball, and these feelings are what the new movie lacks.

THE BAD:
THE LACK OF EMOTION
Now let's see why the new movie is lacking in the emotion department directly. A new transformation is fine and all but it just kinda happened. Super Cyan was just there as a means to show that Goku/Vegeta had reached a new level of power. But did you feel the desperation that came from SSJ1. The loss that caused SSJ2? Even the sheer epicness of SSJ3? How about the need for SSJG in Battle of the Gods? Nope, Goku/Vegeta just casually transform into the strongest power up, no biggie.

The need to defeat Frieza didn't even feel like it was there. As it is, the DB universe is filled with too many failsafes. Dragonballs overcoming death, and now, even time is a crutch when they screw up. This leads to the feeling that you don't actually NEED to defeat Frieza. Even with his power up, the fight seemed pretty anticlimatic, he didn't really have either of them on the ropes.

"Power comes in response to a need not a desire, you have to create that need" - Goku

The need for a new SSJ transformation was never really there. I guess it was sorta there for Frieza to become stronger but it was never really elaborated on.

The lack of emotion in the new movie really got to me but I suppose I should talk about the other parts of the movie as well...

UNNECESSARY FANSERVICE
It's cool and all that they brought back some Z fighters and even had a cameo with Jaco the Galactic Patrolman but I felt like it was a little unnecessary. This kinda plays in with the emotion thing. The fact that the only reason they are there is for the sake of fan service, bothers me. As stated by Frieza, Gohan alone could easily take out all of the Frieza forces alone. So why doesn't he? Fanservice.

PLOT INCONSISTENCIES
Why is Master Roshi able to fight on par against opponents that Gohan/Piccolo are fighting? Why is a railgun able to almost kill a Super Cyan God, a being that could go toe to toe with a being that could destroy planets with a yawn? Why does Frieza stop trying to blow up the Earth when Goku approaches him with a Kamehameha? These are the questions. Yeah, I know that DBZ has a ton of plot holes but come on, these are really stretching it. Are railguns the new Kryptonite?


THE GOOD:
Well the art style is pretty polished and the sound reminds of the good ol nostalgic dragonball days. I thought the idea was great with Frieza, the original universe conquerer coming back for vengeance was great. After that, I'm running out of good things to say about the movie.

THE REST
Dragon Ball has never been a super serious anime, but at the very least, it was serious when it needed to be. Now, it feels like the whole thing has become a complete joke.
I have a feeling that people only liked the new DBZ Movie for the sake of it being a new DBZ Movie. As in, imagine if the movie wasn't DBZ, would you still like it? Do you like it because it's good or just because you're Dragonball starved and want new content/want to feel nostalgic? Hopefully, Dragonball Super can pick up the slack with it's adaption of the movie.

So me and my friend were bored, we wanted something to do and him being a huge dragon ball fan and me thinking dragon ball is fairly enjoyable but not the greatest, we ended up watching the 15th dragon ball z movie known as Ressurection of F. While I found this to be an enjoyable film it did have a few glaring issues.
So basically what gives this movie some merit is the visuals and the quality of the English voice work. The animation is awesome with great use of color and CGI and it was aesthetically appealing as far as animation goes. ... It was also fluent and smooth. The english dub was surprisingly good but I have yet to hear the Japanese voice acting though. Um the story well.... It's good I guess. It covers Frieza getting ressurected after getting killed by Trunks and now he's been ressurected by his minions and he wants to exact his revenge on Goku. The problem with the story is that I felt they had opportunities to expand but it didn't. Then they had this weird plot twist that was absolutely ruined do the standard Dbz bullshit. The characters are the same thing, some had no development and were new, some had development from previous installments in the franchise but had no expansion. Even with these issues I still enjoyed this film but there was one more big issue that really bogged this movie down, for example this new "Super Saiyan God" mode..........why? This was pretty unnecessary in my opinion same with Frieza's golden form. It just comes across as pointless fan service.
At the end of the day what is there left to say? It may sound like I hated this movie but far from it. It's an enjoyable film but has some weak points. It's still DBZ, still well choreographed fight scenes above average humor, and this in particular has really good animation and at. So if you like DBZ or are just looking for a movie to watch when your bored, go for it the visuals alone make it worth watching.

Spoilers ahead, be aware!
Critics, Please spare!

To quote Goku from the movie "Go home. I ain't gonna think less of you if you choose to leave."
This sums up my reaction as an audience after watching this movie.

As a serial DBZ fan since childhood(note the word serial), I have thought of Frieza as the most fearsome villain of all the DBZ Universe, that is, untill I saw Cell Saga. Even though Frieza is a bit over rated in DBZ series(apart from the fact that he has a brother named Cooler, for God's sake), he is one of the most formidable characters in DBZ Universe( I'm leaving Super ... Buu behind, since I still have to catch up on that part later). Also, in DBZ Battle of Gods , when mentioned about his defeat by the hands of Goku by his angel Whis, even Lord Beerus acknowledges about him and his defeat. Such may be the power of "Lord Frieza." These expectations are not even a bit fulfilled after watching this movie.

For starters, this movie shows his revival after his death by the hands of Future Trunks(Mecha Frieza, baby). He is revived by the only one reason of his declining reign, by the new commander of his battalion Sorbet and his second in-command, Tagoma. After revival, he trains for three months and, apparently, gains a new form, self proclaimed by him as "Golden Frieza".

This comes as no surprise, as everybody knows about Frieza's might. But this is a tad bit too much of a might to show off, even for him. And by he way, how does he match the power of Super Saiyan God, after training for only three months? There must be a logic behind this.Also, he is shown a bit too cocky for his power, unbeknownst of the Super Saiyan God transformation achieved by Goku and Vegeta.

To be honest, this movie could have only been made for nostalgia. Even if Frieza leaves the DBZ Universe, the vice-versa may not be possible, from the likes of this movie. Also, while mentioning about Gohan, he is shown utterly powerless here, compared to the bravery he showed while fighting the second form of Frieza in Namek. He easily gets injured by Frieza in his primary form,even though he is powered up to Super Saiyan 2(effect of Frieza's training, perhaps).

The fight scenes look like they have been replaced from a video game sequence. Goku and Frieza looks like caricatures while fighting. Apart from that, Super Saiyan God is worth a watch.
Nevertheless, Frieza is a character to lookout for, even if he is not revived for a third time. Also, there is a mention of Goku and Vegeta's vulnerabilities by Whis himself, while he trains with them. This information may prove useful for those who are going to watch Dragon Ball Super, after this movie, which are related closely. Sound tracks are great, especially the theme of Frieza is spine chilling and it really suits him.

Hence, I can say that, I was partly satisfied with the movie, and for the fact that even Frieza acknowledged the results of a good training, which is shown in his new golden form. I hope that this movie may prove to be meaningful in the upcoming episodes of Dragon Ball Super, and Frieza is given a worthy role in it.

Let me just open this by saying I've been a huge fan of DBZ for the better part of a decade. I realize the show has flaws and is only so loved because of the nostalgia boner it'll give to people and the fact that it's the first anime people have watched, it still holds a place in my heart. Anyways, rant over. Here are my thoughts on the movie.

The story isn't the worst thing to come out of Toriyama but it still feels like something off of fanfiction.net. Frieza becoming stronger than Goku's new form in like 6 months (I think the whole reason ... they made this movie was to start up a new line of Goku figures but now he has blue hair so epic), Piccolo being on equal ground with someone who shouldn't that much stronger than Captain Ginyu at max. Muten Roshi being on par with Frieza Soldiers even though it should be next to impossible for him to get all that much stronger even if he did train his ass off in the past little while due to his age. It was such a mess.

The characters are your quintessential Dragon Ball cast (Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, ect.) mixed in with some new characters and overall it isn't too bad in this department, no complaints here, really.

The animation was fairly polished here, I'd daresay it's the best looking film to date... if the cringeworthy CGI wasn't there. The CGI was barely there but good lord was it bad. The original series didn't have the msot consistent animation but at the same time it didn't have a $5,000,000 budget per episode.

The soundtrack was pretty generic there was nothing special about it so I have no real need to go in-depth here.

Overall you can just skip this one.

After seeing Battle of gods, I wasn't very eager to watch Fukkatsu no F. I was expecting something similar (meaning something hardly good), but I have to say I've been even more disappointed.

The major problem for me is that Toriyama and his team went further in the contradiction with the original Dragon Ball universe and lore. I won't spoil uselessly, but some characters like Gohan or Frieza, in this movie, are completely irrelevant/illegitimate in terms of everything. In fact they took the DBZ universe and adapted it to whatever they wanted, whether or not it was logical considering the original series.

Moreover, (spoiller alert), we have ... here another transformation, the SSJG Blue: that makes two new transformations in just 2 movies (is this really necessary?), and it makes one transformation appearing without any explanation. That's simple, we do not know how and why this one is learned by Goku and Vegeta. Even DBS doesn't take the time to properly explain it.

Aside from this, the art is quite good, music is decent, and fights are well made. Nothing really impressive compared to some other major anime movies, but just fair enough to be acceptable.
Unfortunately that's not enough to make a good DBZ movie, especially when it lacks the catchy and salacious humour of the firt chapters, and the epicness/violence of the fights from the Frieza/Cell/Buu arcs.

Resurrection “F” is about what I was expecting from a Dragon Ball movie, and that isn’t very much. In fact, I was kind of surprised at how well a few things were done. The one thing I LOVED about this movie is that it let other, lesser known characters have an active combat role, hugely progressive in the world of Dragon Ball. Even Master Roshi got to throw down for a little while and to me that was the highlight of the movie.

Almost every other complaint I had with the core Dragon Ball Z universe persists here, including a simply awful power scaling structure, ... but this is a movie for the fans so this may be a good thing for those who enjoyed the original series, I'm not sure. The animation is done really well and most of the original English dub voice acting cast returns to do a great job.

I always had problems with Fukkatsu no F, I think it just doesn't fit the main story because even if it's just a movie about nostalgia the plot is probably the most ridiculous one amongst all of the arcs Dragon Ball created so far.

1) "Fat Buu is sleeping and can't help us"...No just no...

2) Gohan's attire and hair...No just no...At least take Future Gohan's hair IDK but not a green attire and his old hair style because it doesn't fit anymore.

3) Gohan can only reach SSJ1 because his power dropped so damn much...No just no...It's only 2 years after BOG why would he lose his ... so-called ultimate state? It's not a transformation per say, it's his base form with his potential unlocked you don't lose your base form's power somehow! Even from the Cell saga to the Buu saga he didn't lose much (let's say 1/6 of his power) in 7 years why would he lose 3/4 of his power in the same timeframe (from the end of the Buu saga to Fukkatsu) it doesn't add up. The scriptwriter even admitted that the staff messed up when the promotional videos from BOG featured SSJ Gohan instead of Ultimate Gohan and even criticized GT's staff for doing the same mistake...and they do the same here? Come on.

4) "Trunks and Goten are not here because it's too dangerous"...No just no...They can sense Frieza's power and the fact is THEY'RE THE STRONGEST (BECAUSE OF GOTENKS) SINCE BUU WAS SLEEPING AND GOHAN DOESN'T HAVE HIS ULTIMATE FORM ANYMORE FOR WHATEVER REASON!!!

5) Piccolo losing against a weak member of Frieza's army...No just no...

6) Gohan beating the guy who beat Piccolo...NO!!! JUST NO!!! In fourteen years Piccolo is always weaker than SSJ1 Gohan somehow?!? Hell no! We're not in GT!!!

7) Goku underestimating his opponent at this stage...No just no...It's just ridiculous.

8) The Frieza cocoon thing in hell...No just no...I think it's contradicting Piccolo's line about hell in the actual manga anyway.

9) "Freezer's training 4 months !"...No just no...It has to be way longer and why would he make a return when he knows he doesn't control his form well enough? Doesn't make any sense.

10) "Frieza never trained! Because he's so smart and powerful without training!"...No just no! He knows that Goku became stronger when he came on earth with his father Cold but the movie is implying that Frieza knew that and did not train and lost against Trunks. It's clearly contradicting the fact that he's smart and it just doesn't make much sense. In my opinion the canonical and original manga version of Frieza was not that powerful and was meant to be stronger as mecha Frieza (through training or science) in order to come on earth and beat Goku...but Goku was simply just too strong for him to catch up because saiyajins make quick progress. That's always how I understood it. Even from a scenaritic point of view knowing that Frieza was afraid of the Super Saiyajin but was able to overcome Vegeto's level if he did trained during four months only doesn't add up and make him look like a stupid lazy bum. Also...Cell has Freezer's DNA, he's more intelligent and he's naturally stronger than Frieza without training...So why wouldn't he know about his limits just like Frieza did ? They could have find something else.

11) Change the period of the movie because Bulma says (in the official manga) 10 years after the Buu saga that she didn't saw Goku during the past 5 years.

Aside from the poorly written script the fights are quite entertaining and the humour is there, it makes the whole thing more enjoyable but when it comes to continuity and logic I think this movie was its tombstone.

Okay, so pinanood ko ng buo yung Tagalog dubbed ng Resurrection F. I know, it's been released for like; 2 or 3 years now pero ngayon ko lang napanood yung fight scenes na tagalized. Dati kase pag labanan na, biglang magshi-shift yung audio from Tagalog into English. Ngayon, tagalized na ang full movie. MABUHAY ANG MGA PIRATA!! So yun, maraming beses ko nang napanood/nabasa ang kwentong ito. English, Japanese kahit Latino pa par napanood ko na. At ang performance sa bawat languages ay exhilarating. Though ito ang worst canon part ng story ng buong Dragon Ball Franchise, you can still enjoy it for nostalgia. Dati ... kase nae-enjoy ko lang yung movie dahil sa it's Dragon Ball. And that's it. So Yun, napanood ko yung Tagalog dubbed. Boss Jefferson Utanes as Goku at ang iba pang magaling na cast. No offense sa batang 90s pero hindi naman talaga Z ang napanood kong Dragon Ball eh. Pero yung Kai. Ang tanging part lang ng Z na napanood ko in Tagalog ay ang Cell Games Saga, kalahati ng Babidi Saga hanggang End of Z. So, yeah. Iba yung nostalgia na meron ako kesa sa most of the Dragon Ball Community (yes we have a community), kase ang pinanood ko noon ay Kai. Na-exposed ako sa Kai mga grade 3 ako. Yung naramdaman kong "sensation" (korni ng expression, sorry) nung pinanood ko yung movie ng full Tagalog dubbed ay hindi nostalgia, para bang reunion sa isang kaibigan mula sa pagkabata na matagal kong hinanap pero di ko na muling nakita. Sa ibang dub kase; di naman kase ako sa dub na yon lumaki kaya walang gantong revelation. Wala lang. Ang saya lang. It's weird. Siguro ganto yung naramdaman nung fans ng F4 nang i-remake ang Meteor Garden. Ang naramdaman ng isang die hard fan community ng muling mag-perform ang isang banda o idol group na ilang taon nang disbanded. It's just SO GOOD. It's weird na na-realize ko lang nung panoorin ko ang dub pero, tulad ng Sailor Moon sa mga babaeng Otaku; Dragon Ball is not just an anime from my childhood. It's kinda like an old friend.
