"Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero" (Second Movie) News & Discussion

[powerjake]

I'd figure they might just look like the video games, except theatrical movie quality. I don't know if Toei has much experience with CGI as I can't really think of any Toei CGI shows or movies. Some people are probably nervous because the studio has such a hit and miss track record.

So you are saying Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero should look more like Dragonball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3.

No, it won't be like a DB video game or entirely CG. It's more like they're using CG to augment 2d animation to plus it up to a new level. It shouldn't be noticeable in general.

Okay, the teaser really misled people as I was thinking it would be all CGI. I know Mugen Train mixed in CGI expertly, but we'll see how Toei does it. The Broly movie also had CGI mixed in, and that movie probably has the best visuals of the whole franchise.

Turns out Mr. Satan owns the mountain where Piccolo's house is and it's near Gohan's so he comes over for dinner a lot.

I hope they carry on with it on cause i restarted watching Dragon ball z for I think the 5th time now on animefillerlist. Still seems to get excited every time! The voice acting should be fairly accurate, since they redone everything from DBZ in Kai, and the latest movies were good. But now its time for smthing new and even Manga is now pulling ahead nicely, maybe they're waiting until theres enough arcs to justify going back into production with the series. Coronavirus has most definitely had an impact on it too I should think..

9/16: Panel at NYCC on October 7.

10/6: Promo poster posted.

 

[RoyalRubble]

A clip and more character designs were revealed at NYCC.

Broly was only in the clip for 0.5 seconds and he already trended worldwide on social media, lol.

10/7: Pragmatically, it might just be a cameo. Like in media res, Goku is training with Broly for his daily workout then heads back to Earth.

Red Ribbon Army returns. In the panel, the Producers played coy but then Masako Nozawa, Japanese VA for Son Goku, later confirmed it's them.

New characters are named Gamma 1 and Gamma 2.

Takes place after Broly movie but still before End of Z epilogue. I watched the panel and they did say the movie takes place nearly 10 years after Buu was defeated. It's pretty close to "End of Z" which was 10 years later. They confirm later it's set before the 28th World Martial Arts Tournament.

Post-recording just finished in Japan. But U.S. actors have not started dub yet.

Toshio Furukawa, Japanese VA for Piccolo, reveals Piccolo has an active role in the movie and dotes on Pan like a grandpa.

Could only confirm the Japan release is still 2022. They are still negotiating the U.S. release and ideally want it to release around the same time.

10/8: NYCC teaser officially released.

Honestly, I was worried about the CGI, but it looks pretty good to me. Not necessarily super high end, but still.

Red Ribon is back, eh? I guess at this point they're pretty much permanent fixtures in Dragon Ball, like the Pilaf Gang.

 

[Vuxovich]

I hope the dub of this movie gets Brian Beacock back as Krillin.

Someone noticed the new Red Ribbon character looks a lot like Lord Jaguar from the Dragon Ball Z: Bio-Broly movie.

Toriyama looking at that movie and said "hmmm....I guess we can salvage something from it."

 

[PicardMan]

I'm not so onboard with these visuals, but maybe the story can make up for it.

Some parts look amazing like in the Broly movie, some like the car scene with the villains or the Gammas look a bit too 'video game cutscene CG'.
