    I watched Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F'! The movie was 1h 33m long. ngl I loved this story arc so much in Super 🥹 it was awesome in movie form! There was so much fast and flashy action, and the reveal of my favorite Super Saiyan form still went so crazy 😭 I loved seeing this story arc again!

    I watched Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods! The movie was 1h 45m long. This was a cool movie! The plot would go on to be the first story arc of Super, and it was cool to see it in movie form! The action was fast and flashy as well, and the animation looked awesome! It was fun to revisit this story arc!

    He was a longtime Toei staple (Did some fine work on the PreCure series!) but his one-two punch of direction on Dragon Ball Super: Broly and One Piece Film: Z is a stellar record on its own. Broly helped make Dragon Ball films feel like events again...

    Dragon Ball Dissection begins its look at the animated version of Dragon Ball Super! It expands the movie Battle of Gods story with cute new character interactions and context. But when it starts leaving out important plot details, can it still stand on its own? youtu.be/LLBfVLFigzY

    They literally show canned film reel upon canned film reel of episodes of Dragon Ball GT & the original Pretty Cure up front. Now, to be fair, Pretty Cure did actually get an HD remaster & Blu-Ray in Japan back in 2023... but you can't say that for GT! Even Crunchyroll just re-releases the DVDs!

    Spent $14 and finally got my hands on the "NS2" launch title: Pokémon Emerald [Fan-Requested Edition]?. First of all: This is a Chinese fan-made project. Not official merchandise, not genuine game, just for fun. Here is what happened. I seemingly got the NS2 launch title Pokémon Emerald for only $14. The seller said he had exclusive access, and even claimed his friend worked on manufacturing NS2 game cartridges. ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/0c5ca04b-49d0-4f03-bf59-9edb2508e0cd.jpeg)…

    If you are watching Ne Zha, expect OG Dragon Ball. If you are watching Ne Zha 2, expect Dragon Ball Z. That's how I'd describe these movies. Anyway, spoiler for the fight scene from the first film. But I'm sure you can see the influence, in both comedy and action.

    The big problem is that a lot of "fans" prefer the look of the aged film. There's no consensus on how Sailor Moon should look like with Dragon Ball. To me, the original intention is how it should look, but that's not the consensus.

    The passing of Tatsuya Nagamine is tragic. If you ever watched One Piece Film: Z, the later parts of Dragon Ball Super's Tournament of Power arc, Dragon Ball Super: Broly, or One Piece's Wano arc and noticed a certain *energy* about them, its because he was at the helm of all that stuff. RIP.
