THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
There is only one episode, but it works. So that was pretty cool. Two beings who are as powerful as Freeza (works well considering they're remnants of his team and a separate group to the Ginyu), chase Table to Earth, who's learned that his older brother Vegeta is living there. He asks for help from the others, who are enjoyin Mr Satan's banquet.

I loved the part with them "drawing straws" to see who would fight the two. Go Trunks and Goten. XD Best part for me was when Vegeta and Goku stole each other's food, and they went Super Saiyan.

I missed Akira Toriyama's work. You can tell that he put a lot of love into this one.
I reject your reality, and substitute my own.

It was a good movie.

While not showing the more serious side, it was funny most of the time. I liked it.

Still as retarted and stupid as always. But I gotta admit it had charm. And seeing everybody again after all those years is also worth something. I just wish they would have given Lunch a bit more screentime.

The movie was mostly funny. Loved to see old characters from the series back together.
Gotenks rocks, BTW.

It brought back memories. It was even greater cuz we watched this at our Anime Club today and everyone was laughing and making jokes, specially when Tarble was checking Goku's energy, we all shouted "IT'S OVER 9000!!!!!"

Welcome to the original DB World, not like the butchered US version where they get all the voices wrong. Oh and that was also the original music in the background not like the Tecno Rock style the US version showed everyone.

Long live Goku! :D I really wish they could make another one! :P

I overheard somewhere that Akira Toriyama plans to rewrite the GT saga and tell the story in a whole different way. Since the original GT wasn't the work of Toriyama I think that this new saga, if it ever comes to throughition, will be a great addition to the series and (probably) a worthy conclusion to the whole story :)

Actually I read about it on a Polish forum. Someone posted a quote there, translated to Polish though. Couldn't find the original source of the information so I'll briefly translate it. Here it is:

"12 years after finishing Dragon Ball series Akira Toriyama comes back, big time!. His new project, Dragon Ball Yo, originally made to celebrate Shounen Jumps 40th birthday announces the beginning of an all new saga which takes place two years after defeating Buu."

This is, more or less, what the quote is about. Bottom line is that Akira's working on a new DB story. Still, I'm not sure if it's the truth but it sure would be great to see some new DB material from Akira. Let's just wait and see.

I LOL at the reviews talking about how the story is better/worse than the original DB. This is a perfect example of fanservice. Story doesn't matter.
And even though I'm not a DB fan, I enjoyed it.

Also: Avocado - the "vegetable names for villains"-gag... Still funny to me.

I enjoyed watching it but I feel like the characters acted a bit OUT of character.

Good to see the new animation. X)
I wish they would remake DB and DBZ with animation like this.

Really missed the old gang, it was nice seeing all of the characters again especially Krillin, Yamcha, Piccolo, C18 and the rest. The updated old intro gave that warm nostalgic feeling as well. And as funny as the episode was, it pained me that we saw only Goten and Trunks fighting with others only having smaller role. Somehow expected more but eh, maybe next time.

So this takes place just after the mayin boo saga, trunks and goten should have been alble to beat these enemies in 1 kick since they should be as strong as frieza, and even future trunks kills frieza in one hit, BEFORE the android saga so...

But whatever, nice animation, nice to see every notible DBZ character. Had a fun watch.

I honestly didn't care for it, since the majority of screen time went to, of all people, Goten and Trunks. I don't understand the appeal of those two characters; I know Dragon Ball was, and still is mainly aimed at children, but the series did just fine for years without giving child characters an over abundance of screen time at the cost of the adults (what it WAS guilty of was being overly reliant on Saiyans, but that's a whole other issue). Maybe my perception was colored because I watched Broly: Second Coming and Bio-Broly before I watched this, but I was set to overload on those two kids, and to see a new special focus mainly on THEM fighting, it was too much.

I also DESPISED how they left Tenshinhan and Chiaotzu out of the special. I totally understand that they didn't want to replace his VA out of respect for his death some years prior, but to just leave out two character who were, at one point, considered to be MAIN CHARACTERS of the series feels like an insult. Especially when characters like Launch and Gregory were in there, and neither one had any actual dialogue.

They could have, at the very least, tossed in a line explaining how they couldn't find the duo because they're so reclusive; but even if they did, it wouldn't have made it any easier when Gotenks uses one of Tien's attacks. It almost felt like they were rubbing his absence into the face of the fans.

Tarble... I don't care. He was barely in the thing and made no real impression.

The only saving graces about this whole thing was the fact that Goku had become a radish farmer (loved that reference to his brother) and, even after all this time, Goku and Vegeta still provided some amusing banter.
