| Very typical for a Dragon Ball movie, but can I deny that I still very much enjoyed it. Honestly, I didn't think the 3dcg would still be too well with me but this movie was p good regardless. I enjoyed the whole thing and will rewatch this in sub since I watched this in cinema dubbed. Some memorable shit: - Beerus flirting 😳 - Bulma cake 😳 - GOAThan coming back and Piccolo glow up 🙏 - Pan being very based 🙏 OST pretty damn good but I forgot it already. Will find it again sometime. I need to finish DBS and Broly tho now. |
| Amazing animation |
 |
| Orange Pickles > Gohan Blanco |

| Absolutely loved the new movie, got goosebumps at Gohan's special beam cannon. The flashback stuff all looked soo good too, I wish Kai had been that beautiful. Cell Max, and the Gammas are great enemies, I was expecting a lil more personality to Cell Max but w/e. Hedo and Magenta were great too, I really felt the OG Dragon Ball humour in this movie. Magenta standing on the boxes to appear taller was hilarious. Was cool to see the Broly cameo too, looking forward to seeing Broly and Gohan/Piccolo's new forms in the Super continuation, whatever that may be! I reckon an announcement is coming soon, either of another movie, or the follow up series. |

RimveBiceps said: Amazing animation I was worried at first that CGI might not be as good as one would expect it to be in a movie belonging to such huge and popular franchise, but luckily it was not half bad. In fact, it was marvelously done. Another thing worth of commending was fighting choreography. Detailed, smooth, well animated and creative. |
| I finally went to see it at the movies, it was very good!! I liked it a lot, it was very entertaining, the fights were great and the animation was pretty good.  |
| This movie wouldve benefited if it was an arc in dbs, by alot imagine seeing gohan going through training again and then gaining the new form |
| Just saw it at the cinema. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| I think the last movie was a little better but I still loved this one. It was much funnier than I expected. I never really found Dragon Ball that funny, but Toriyama was at the top of his game when he wrote this. I laughed a lot. At times it was just like something Team Four Star would write. Pan was incredibly cute too. 9/10 from me. |
| Dr. Gero's grandson? Gohan Blanco? Orange Piccolo? Cell Max? I'm sorry but is this a fanfiction that some 10 years old wrote whose parents work for Toei so they got it adapted into a movie? Seriously, they even went out of their way to make Gohan's hair bigger so his adult body would look more like Cell Game Gohan lmao. So after Ultra Instinct got ragdolled by 3 people in the Granolah arc, here are 2 androids who are as strong as Goku, Cell wannabe who is far stronger, Piccolo who wishes to be strong, and Gohan surpassing everyone by getting really mad because P O T E N T I A L as always. Ultra Instinct everyone, the penultimate technique that not even gods could achieve. At least the SOL moments were nice I guess, and the visual was great even though the fight were underwhelming compared to Broly. |

| Piccolo = child beater comfirmed xD Great that he took the center stage again for a change. As much as I enjoyed him as uncle for Pan in Super, it's not quite the same as having the badass fighter back. Same goes for Gohan. Putting aside all the plot contrivances, I enjoyed the mix between slice of life, comedy and CGI action. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| i was surprised at how fun the movie was just up until Cell Max showed who really dragged the movie down, this has to be one of the worst DB movie villains, up there with Bio-Broly an King Slug the Gammas were fun, an Piccolo infiltrating RR headquarters was entertaining, he is really a babysitter lmao, so now the good guys have a scientist on their side who can create SSJ Blue lvl androids Orange Piccolo was lame, i prefered how Piccolo could just power up without changing appearance an then theres Gohan Blanco (an to me thats his official name) i dont think we ve even gonna get any explanation as to what that is añso why has Gohan forgotten so many basic things? i mean the universe tournament wasnt that long ago right? an also dont like that they keep impying that Goku doesnt know what mental training is, like he has done it before 7/10 they really brought Norio Wakamoto back just to scream a lot WTF |

If a fan pitched this idea, they would call it terrible. Dragon Ball Super is basically just repeating past events with a different coat of paint. They should rename Dragon Ball Super to Dragon Ball Rehash, because that is all it really is, and it's definitely not super. |

Probably have gohan and piccolo get jobbed by some random guy to show how strong he is then have goku and vegeta fight him then goku finish it |
| As a fan of Piccolo and Gohan, this movie was a blast to watch and so welcome. Wish we got more this type of stuff where other team was given a spotlight. Piccolo was MVP in this! |
 |
| It has several points that are reminiscent of the beginnings of this mythical series, supported by current technological advances and its incorporation, even so, the lousy animation ends up failing at specific moments in this film, especially in the fights. 7/10 kekeke |
| The CGI seemed a lot better than what was shown in the trailers. After a certain point, I forgot I was watching a CGI anime so I think it was pretty good. But that doesn't mean I'd take this over hand-drawn animation. Seriously, why? Why did they settle for CGI after that beautiful Broly movie? Sure, Broly had some CGI too, but it was 2D for the most part. In this movie, there are some 2D scenes but they're not anything very complex. At the very least, this movie looks a lot better than that one Seven Deadly Sins movie. The very existence of that movie is a sin. CGI ranting aside, this was a good movie. But it wasn't anything really special. Gohan's new transformation wasn't that memorable and Cell Max was underwhelming. I know people have been wanting 'Golden Cell' after Golden Frieza. This was probably the best way of bringing Cell back without doing the same thing as Resurrection 'F' so I can't really blame the writers for it. The best part about this movie was Pan. She's so sweet! I loved Piccolo's interactions with her. Piccolo's raising her like he raised Gohan. Best dad. Now that I've watched Urusei Yatsura, it feels weird hearing Ataru's seiyuu Toshio Furukawa voicing Piccolo. Man is so talented. "Orange Piccolo" is cool and all but they seriously need to rename that form... The new voice actress is good but I'll always miss Hiromi Tsuru as Bulma. I loved that this movie was focused on Piccolo and Gohan. When was the last time Dragon Ball did that? Broly Second Coming? That was a dumpsterfire. I hope if the Dragon Ball anime continues they make Pan an actually likable character instead of making her a bitchy tsundere like GT did. I think the marketing hyped up Goten and Trunks but they didn't really do anything significant. "Saiyans have a growth spurt after a certain point?" I guess that makes sense in the context of the original Dragon Ball. But I'm almost certain they would've made shit up otherwise cause they forgot about Goten and Trunks in Super. As I said, this movie wasn't that special but it kept me entertained the whole way through. It got me looking forward to what the Dragon Ball anime does next. |

| Saw this at the cinema with friends yesterday and the most enjoyable part was bickering afterwards about how bad it was. lol "Miles better than Evangelion, Anno was obliterated!" - One of my friends, after exiting the cinema lol |
 |
| This was so good. I loved the jokes and the action. Poking fun at Gohans "vision enhancing when super saiyan", Vegetas "kinda lazy ish now" and other things.. was hilarious XD Best part was Piccolo when he poked at Goten and Trunks' failed fusion coming in handy. Such a nice movie for a to old style and new style type feel |
| Very good movie. Loved the Piccolo and Pan moments. Loved the Bulma ass moments. Loved the Gammas and was sad when 2 died. Dr Hado is cool too and I like that he’s joined the Z crew. The Cell fight was kind of meh because it’s always boring to have a mindless villain but the amazing animation made up for it. I still don’t know how to feel about Beast Gohan but Orange Piccolo is cool. |
| Dat recap. A man gets out the car. Magenta. Dem pics. Dr. Gero's grandson. Dr. Hedo. 24. Carmine. Dat chart. Vomi. Gevo. He's in prison? He stole 3 corpses? He's out. And that was the end. If there's one thing this series knows what to do best, it is wasting time. Once again, a movie that does not progress the plot. Why? Because as usual, they bring back old villains instead of making a new one. The only time a DB movie felt like there was progress was Kami to Kami with Beers because the possibilities were now endless. What did Toriyama do? Bring back Freeza. He did that already after the Namek arc. Why do that again after introducing Beers? What happened after Super? Toriyama brought back Broly by making him actually canon to the series. We seen Broly come back like 2 after his original debut. But only that, he once again had Saiyans fighting Saiyans. For a race thats basically extinct, why do you have a hard on wanting them to keep fighting each other? The main formula with these movies is to bring back an old villain or fight a Saiyan. Now with this movie... Toriyama brings back the Red Ribbon Army (THE SERIES HAS MOVED ON FROM THEM; WE ARE FIGHTING OTHER UNIVERSES) after they've been brought back many times. And he brings back Cell as Cell Max. To make it worse, all Cell Max does is yell. Literally wasting Norio Wakamoto's talents (and Toriyama stated he felt sorry for that). What the actual fock?! Next, Toriyama originally had Piccolo going to be lead, but then Iyoku pushed for Gohan to star with him. Proof that Gohan is pointless and has been pointless since getting absorbed by Boo back in the early 90's since Toriyama didn't even think of making Gohan the lead and he had to be forced into it. So what's the point of making Gohan get a new form? We all know after this the story will go back to Goku and Vegeta. Making Gohan get a new form doesn't make sense. Then you see Gohan getting cocky again (crazy face and smile) as he watched Cell Max create that big death ball then Piccolo called his name and snapped him out of it. He didn't learn his lesson. As for Piccolo, I don't have anything negative to say, it's just that why now all of sudden for him to get a power up? If anything, he should have gotten it years ago in the story timeline to keep up with Goku. At this point when Goku is a SSGSS and trying to master Migatte no Gokui, it just feels pointless. Next, after achieving the animation to look like old school DB in the Broly movie, they knew fans loved that style, especially when compared to Super (and the animation drama when the series started). They got it right. I'm not saying the Super TV sequel would like that, but at least we could expect future movies to look like Broly. What did they do? As expected, they changed what did not need to be changed just to piss fans off. Not only that, it was CG. To add insult to injury, the movie literally starts with 2D animation. All the flashback scenes are in 2D. The movie literally could have been in 2D. And the flashback scenes looked amazing. So what was the reason other than to piss off 2D lovers? I don't like CG because I prefer traditional in anime. I will admit when CG looks good like with Polygon Studios work on Sidonia no Kishi, for example. I'm not unreasonable. The scene when Gamma #2 flies down at Cell Max then as Cell Max is grabbing his arm the ground explodes. That looked amazing. Finally, I saw what they did. Mamoru (means protect) as Gamma #2 tried to protect everyone by sacrificing himself. I loved how everyone kept dropping to their knees with their head down unconscious like when Recoome got dropped by Goku punching him in the stomach. Gohan dropping the Senzu like how he dropped/didn't catch the Potara Earring in the Boo arc. What's Magenta's relationship with Violet for him to have a photo of her? Next, modern day Dragon Ball designs just get worse. How does Gero and the sexy Vomi create Gevo then their grandson Hedo is short and fat? Not even intimidating. It has to be mothers side? Speaking of Vomi, Gero is one lucky mother f'er to get with one of sexist DB characters (when modeled by ASW). Bulma most likely having anal sex with Vegeta considering her BBL and "tightening". Speaking of butt, they knew to focus on Cheelai booty and they delivered. Goten and Trunks finally grew and yet they are still a waste of time. Nothing but fusion jokers. Anyway, the contrast between Piccolo training Gohan as a 4 year old compared to Pan at 3 feels so weird. Pan got it easy while Gohan had to survive training. Speaking of Pan, she sure can act. |

| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
Ah brother Pan-Chan honestly really amazes me, at the age of 3 he knows so well and besides that he is also smart. I'm sure he'll surpass Gohan when he's his age. Still, brother, how disappointing even Picollo admitted that Gohan was really bad at everything, but I'm amazed that he managed to come up with an extremely amazing new form. But what a shock I was when I heard Bulma's wishes. 🤣😭 |
| Sorry, but I liked this movie. They gave the best character, Piccolo, the spotlight. They redeemed weak academic Gohan. They gave best girl Bulma fanservice (I grew up in the 90s... I like Bulma, okay?). Good fight animation. Yeah, good stuff--glad it exists. |
 |
| Came up with low expectations, and walked out with a smile on my face. I love this movie. |
